Looked like Burrows had a solid game. He was sent to the bullpen to get fixed. Did they fix him? Yes, only 1 game but did things look different??
Yeah they were really missing this earlier in the season. Espada please dont blow his shoulder out again.
Yordan has been that good this season. Trade for another middle of the order bat to put with Pena/Parades/Alvarez and if Wade comes back and can be productive then this team will have enough offense to win even with Walker being streaky and Altuve/Diaz being avg. If they trade for an OF bat I'm hoping we get to see a lot more of Loperfido platooning with Meyers in CF.
And your houston astros have stumbled their way to 2nd place in the AL West after the As lost to the giants. Let's see how they're going to screw up this opportunity.
Great win last night, that Springer challenge had to the be the worst one I have seen this year. Joey L had a HELL of a series and Cam with the catch in the 8th
Astros had a super-rash of injuries early, plus the pitching staff acted completely dumbfounded by the ABS. Health and settling down are the current happenings. Now, we just need Espada to maximize what he has. There should be a few simple rules of thumb for him and they're not difficult..... 1) Trammell and Lope mostly play 2) Matthews mostly road and 3) Meyers 9th (not 8th).
Arm angle, hopefully. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/73...1.s1A._pDc.6UhL4HsH08MT&smid=ta-android-share
I predicted 88-89 wins on opening day, they’d have to go 49-31 to get there. I think it’s possible. Avoiding my 10th percentile outcome prediction of 76 wins means going at least 37-43; I wouldn’t say the odds of them doing that are better than 90%, but they’re still pretty high imho. My 90th percentile outcome prediction projection of 103 wins would require 64-16 finish. Not happening.
