Once they said "elbow soreness" you could see what was gonna happen. "Elbow soreness" is Astros-speak for Tommy John surgery.
Day off.. coaching absolutely is horrendous with this team. It's strength, conditioning & cohesion thats leading this team to L's... 4-game win streak doesn't mean a damn thing if you can't convert the 5th W over to the 3rd team. edit: also being giddy for a 4 game W streak is laughable at a third-way-done into the season.
The Astros have four fewer wins than the Dodgers. Seems crazy considering how different their winters were...
Dodgers have their entire rotation on the IL. Which is expected because they go after injury-prone pitchers, but they are still the prohibitive WS favorites.
Jim Crane hires 24-hr security for Lance McCullers …The Astros contacted MLB security and the Houston Police Department following the threats to McCullers. An police spokesperson said Thursday that it remains an ongoing investigation. McCullers, who has two young daughters, took immediate action after the threats and reached out to the team to inquire about what could be done to protect his family. Astros owner Jim Crane stepped in and hired 24-hour security for them. It was a move McCullers felt was necessary after what happened. “You have to at that point,” he said.
No idea Maybe its old news Maybe the investigation turned up something that triggered it. Either way its a class act for the owner to do it.
