I think its enough if at least 2 of Arrighetti, McCullers, Javier, or Garcia are healthy and can give 4+ good innings in the playoffs. Or even...
I don't know how they can swing it, but Ryan O'Hearn is probably the most impactful ( to this team) bat that may be available. Insurance for...
Astros are still going to stay under CBT. So according to Cot's they have about $4.68M to spend.
What is better? It still counts doubles, triples,and HR more than singles. BA and SLG don't count walks at all OB% counts singles and HR the...
I was among them. And this time I agree with the move. I also agree King was the right move to start the inning. He's your 7th inning guy. You...
He left the game yesterday with a hand issue.
And then look forward to being a force in 2027 !!
Marsh has actually been much better than most people realize. Even with a -0.6 bWAR this year he has averaged 2.2 bWAR per 500 PAs. He is awful...
I agree that it all hinges on how long Yordan is out. With 6 playoff spots, at this point it is still very likely that the Astros make it. Then,...
Dezenzo and Whitcomb project to be complimentary players. It's not as important to give them (nearly) everyday ABs like Melton and Smith who...
I like it. Meyers has started 30 in a row and there is a RH on the mound. Day off tomorrow gives Jake 2 rest days. 162 games is a grind.
Meyers has started 30 games in a row. Does he get a day off? Pretty avg looking RH on the mound. Good chance to get Melton's feet wet and give...
The 2024 Astros had 13 position players with 100+ PAs. Altuve, Pena, Alvarez, Diaz, Meyers, Dubon, Caratini, and Chas are still on this team....
Fair enough. I don't agree but I respect your opinion and your wish to not continue the debate. Go Astros.
Melton up and Whitcomb back up. How these 2 guys perform in this chance could have a significant impact on expectations for the next 6+ years.
I do agree that its better to have someone who doesn't suck. A big part of my opinion on this is that this is way to choose between 2 players...
You said if you suck it doesn't matter. I just gave my opinion why is DOES matter regardless. How much it matters can be debated but I don't...
I like Dezenzo quite a bit but I agree with this. 1) He can play all 3 OF positions. 2) He makes it harder for opposing managers to skip LH...
You are welcome. You said L/R doesn't matter. I explained why it does.
Teams are skipping LH starters and pitching all RH starters against the Astros. They are keeping their lefty relievers in bullpen and using all RH...
