I 100% agree it was easier as a fan in the Luhnow/Hinch era to follow moves being able. There was absolutely a comfort in the data/logic. It is...
Feels like the only way some of you will be happy is if the Astros are steamrolling and Maldy is on the bench/off the roster. Anything other than...
As Nook or someone mentioned, Crane is definitely looking to recreate the vibe under Luhnow/Hinch where every one was generally on the same page....
Not every metric is publicly available. For example, for Maldy in particular there's a relatively new catcher metric just put out by Mike...
Fangraphs: Mauricio Dubón’s Tear Has Helped the Astros Weather the Loss of Jose Altuve
I low-key think this is working out for the best. Like sure it'd be awesome if he came out and dominated this year. But that was never a...
I want to point out I'm not particularly for or against what they're doing with Yainer. He's clearly performing well in his limited sample,...
Well yeah, that's Nook's point. It's the non-stat line stuff primarily holding him back. Consistent effort, thorough opposing hitter review for...

Wait til Dana Brown is truly unleashed. There's no doubt he knows that prospect IF depth is a problem and that rolling with Rylan Bannon is not...
This is one of those "i don't disagree with your reasoning but i disagree with the over all message" posts. Agree that he's probably at his peak...
I think the Maldy phase out will happen, just far more gradually than people want. Think there’s a lot of politics at play: -Dusty’s being the...
Being pedantic, but I'd probably put them ahead of the Astros and Braves and on par with the Dodgers. Astros and Braves are both good at farm...
Lost in the Brantley return, Whitley took the mound today. He went 4.0IP with 4H, 3R/ER, 1BB, 2K's and gave up a dinger. For some perspective,...
Hell yea boyz!
this ump clearly wants to go home
**** yea Corey!
