He did. He also has lost earlier in the playoffs a whole lot more. Do you want the Astros to be the team that dominates or the team that gets...
Why, though? The Astros' system has worked for more than half a decade now - Hinch did all the same things with lineups and rest (not to the same...
They did that last year too. And then flamed out in the NLDS. Call me crazy, but I feel like I prefer the organizational strategy that keeps...
Also known as the Padres annual trade deadline.
I think one of the issues is that teams that were trading for Machado were literally trading for him as a rental. At least some of the teams...
You also don't want to be the owner/GM that let one of the best players of all time walk away for nothing. If the Angels think they can sign him...
This just seems like it's encouraging teams to give up on their seasons earlier, and to try to only trade with the best teams. I would think...

Twitter can't even pay its own rent. It doesn't pay janitors. It's being sued by just about everyone for failing to pay its bills. And Musk's...
Astros, without blinking, based on price, performance, and control. Bellinger has been his terrible self outside of a hot April. McCormick is...

tinman dreaming of the good ol' days when only white men were allowed to be important or relevant.
Did get Diaz twice in a row as catcher though.
I believe there was a big discussion here during this past offseason where he told the Astros he didn't want to be a catcher, and people here...
This is exactly right. People seem to misunderstand the pitcher-catcher dynamic. When Javier has a good game, he is not thinking "I pitched well...
