WHAT IF…. And I’m just spitballing here…. The Astros have developed a highly new refined advanced form of analytics (since every team already...
Also, correct me if I’m wrong…. Hunter Brown is doing some all-time franchise history stuff over these first 6 starts….. no? I’m totally...
Who says you can’t be romantic about baseball?
Looks like he was dominant... 5IP, 3 H, 7K's, 1 BB (only box score reading, don't know anything about his velocity or pitch usage). As long as...
Altuve not going to get many days off this year again... its irresponsible even before the days of "load management".
This is a non-story if it’s NY, Boston, or LA fans doing it. Similar to “F ALTUVE!” But apparently if Houston does it, its… “think of the children!”
I don’t think they should stand pat. But I’m not dumping all the promising pitching prospects either (maybe one… max 2… and Chas if he has any...

So is Altuve. So was JV. And yes, extensions are designed to be big enough to entice a player's interest... and if you look at the value of...
Was brought up in other forums, but if you're going to get a possible extension out of Crane, would be either in your first or second year...
Look up Oz Ocampo. But yes, this is what I’m saying… he knew where the Astros needed improvement (even though the Venezuelan Academy that...
Agree and disagree. He literally oversaw the entire STL Cardinals minor leagues/draft process. Hard to do that well without having some skills...
Sorry.... you're right. Appel was just a bust. Aiken not taking a deal (or them simply trying to get cute with the salary manipulation) were both...
Springer still struck out a ton, regardless, but yes analytics said you could bat a guy like him leadoff and you wouldn't suffer. Altuve...
