I've been around a long time and I can't ever recall 3 starting pitchers going into a series with those kind of astronomical ERAs. That's insane!
That’s huge. Hope it holds up. Astros will get a huge morale boost when JV and Framber are both back. Toss in Blanco and Javier and things looks nice.
The durability on this guy.... still gets underrated despite everybody here knowing the state of modern day pitching and how pitchers rarely get to 200 innings anymore, let alone multiple years of it. Not to mention he's built like a tank and has pitched deep into the post season nearly every year he's been a full-time starter here. He's a unicorn.
I remember our panic move when we thought that his broken finger would end his season, which led to the Odorizzi experience
There has been no talk by the Astros about Lance going to the bullpen. There has been some talk (maybe on the low down from @Nook ) that Garcia’s stuff should play well from the bullpen.
