Astros have a chance over the rest of this month to take control of the division. They should probably be favored in every series (depending on...
I think there’s several things at play. First, I genuinely think the Astros are just better at identifying and developing pitchers than they are...
Thanks for pointing out the obvious but that’s not my point. My point was that the Astros can influence other teams’ perception of their...
All 3 of Blubaugh, Ullola, and Brito look like absolute studs so far in the very early going.
Week 2 top prospect status report (wRC+/FIP): RF Cam Smith (MLB): 101 IF Brice Matthews (AAA): 64 (healthy walk rate, good baserunning, but 35% k...
Conspiracy theory I would believe: the Astros intentionally quelled the hype on Blubaugh this spring in favor of guys like Gusto, Ullola, and...
yep Astros by series: W L swept by Giants, offense scored 6 total runs in 3 games W L lost to Mariners on bullpen meltdown led by Contreras and...
I think Collin Price is a lot like David Hensley. Late blooming prospect with a body type and athleticism that hints at the possibility of big...
Really like what Bush has done so far, Asheville is a great opportunity for him to break out and show his power. Also very encouraging from that...
I agree the temporary solution is to leave Altuve at 2B most days and have an OF of Smith, Meyers, and McCormick and Dezenzo as the primary backup...
By both most cited metrics (OPS+ and wRC+), Meyers has been above average so far this season.
Like I said, the lineup is a bat or two short. But Meyers isn’t the guy they need to replace. RF and LF/2B are the spots that need to start...
Who is this mythical “CF that can hit” that the Astros can magically add to their roster? Meyers is a good player. Elite defender at the 2nd...
Since McCullers is lined up with Gusto’s day to pitch, and Thursday is an off day, my guess is McCullers will start for Houston on Tuesday April...
Yeah so far it looks like the lineup is at least one elite bat short. In 2017, Bregman and Yuli were hitting in the top 5 of the order and they...
McCullers went 4 innings (60 pitches) 5k 0r 1h 1bb
There really isn’t outside of a rest day every 8-10 games. Dubon really should be limited to filling in on the infield for standard rest days....
Walker is hitting the ball hard a lot, so I’m optimistic about him. I think Walker and Rodgers are feeling a lot of pressure and it’s affecting...
Guys I think have potential to post 20+ fwar in their controllable years: Moderate risk: Cam Smith High risk: Brice Matthews Jacob Melton...
It is amazing to look back at the “stacked” farm system the Astros had in 2016 and realize the number of highly touted prospects they didn’t get...
