maybe I'm putting too much faith in the predictive stats like xFIP. I say this seriously, not sarcastically. i might well be trusting the...
It's true he's not allowed many runs since going to Chicago (2 ER in about 10 IP) but his peripherals don't suggest he will maintain anything...
That's a curious choice. Besides the fact his name always sounds like "Clipart" to me, this is a guy who's been trending in the wrong direction...
I don't know so much about advanced stats. I agree that this is an important distinction, as is the number of outs in the inning when the reliever...
He looked great today. Hopefully in September we will get to see Brendan McCurry with the ML club. He's been on fire the past 6 weeks and does the...
Sure do! In August, the Astros offense comes in 11th in the ML with OPS of .764. That compared to .855 (1st in ML by a long shot) prior to the...
I'm seriously starting to wonder whether Tyler White would make a better DH than Beltran in the postseason. There would be many who say that you...
Time to get Biggio and Bagwell in there to explain to these guys that it's no fun to play your whole career and end up with no WS ring. Impress...
Brian McCann has gone 12-for-81 (.148) from July 1 till now. That is nearly pitcher-level plate production. It's true he's had some hard-hit balls...
fun fact: In August, Tyler White (as a pitcher) has an opponent Batting Average Against lower than that of Reymin Guduan and Michael Feliz:...
When you post on this forum, it's pretty much taken for granted that everyone who takes the time to post is watching the Astros' games. If you...
I've been impressed with some of the medical technologies that many of the European soccer clubs are using to get their players back onto the...
This year's IRS% (Inherited Runners who Score) is a ghastly 39%. That is up from 31% last season and 24% in 2015. It's definitely a problem. We...
Obviously I watched him, idiot. I said that bad luck was one factor, not the totality of the story. Read the post and if you are fluent in the...
By inning yesterday, Keuchel surrendered the following batted balls in play -- 1st inning: 5 grounders, one line drive 2nd inning: 2 grounders,...
That's my best guess too. This move wouldn't make sense if the goal were simply to maximize current offensive production.
I think that brings his GIDP total this year up to 9. Altuve still leading the team at 14 followed by Bregman at 12.
He certainly did seem to be taking a lot of pitches right over the heart of the plate in his first ML PAs this year. He'd get frustrated with...
Really looking forward to seeing Tyler White hit against the White Sox. Like Moran and Centeno, Tyler has exceeded expectations for offensive...
Really, when Gattis gets back from the DL, I won't be surprised if McCann gets placed on the 10-day. He hit for a .169 average in JUly and is only...
