    Imagine being a pitcher and getting drafted by the Rockies. Damn that would suck.

    Cam Smith's averages just keeping getting higher and higher. How lucky are we that he's such a stud already?

    Astros please make a deal for Ryan O'Hearn.

    .310 BA and .913 OPS against RH pitchers.

    He can play LF.

    It's quite amazing.

    How many draftees go straight to the majors and shines in their very first year?

    I mean that list is really really small.

    If I'm a college pitcher with eligibility left, and especially with the NIL, I'd tell them before the draft "I will not sign with you". It's a bit trickier for HS guys.

    I’d for sure just go to college instead if I was a HS guy. No chance I’m going there if I am first round talent and have any other choice.

    Love our announcers, but dang Dubon deserved some hype for that play at shortstop. That was a gold glove play

    That was an awesome play but he did botch the potential double play before that.

    When I made the statement I was referring to batters.

    Only 9 of the 24 are batters. And I don't know how many of the 9 had the success we are seeing from Cam in their first season, so maybe that list dwindled itself down to 3 or 4.

    Legendary Astro Denny Walling being one of them. Who knew?

    5 innings, 3 runs and we will shake hands.

    That's all we need from you Gordon.

    Give us 1 more clean inning somehow.

    The hitters got to keep their foot on the pedal. Some extremely lazy at bats after the Grand Slam.

    “Cam Smith and Kyle Tucker could not be more different. No one that knows Kyle would ever say he has energy and enthusiasm for the game. Cam isn’t like that. The only thing they have in common is neither of them want to be in front of the media.” - Chandler Rome
