I liked the 6 man pitching rotation. With all the breaking stuff and/or sheer gas; the strain on the pitchers gasses them and taxes them! But...
I disagree that Wood is trash. He was a guy who played his way to a good contract after being an afterthought during the draft. I don’t blame him...
Cougars forte is defensive aptitude. The team is extremely well coached, and why the Nation is seeing them as a or “The” top team.
Silas seems to me like a hip life coach, more so than anything resembling an NBA competent coach. Rockets hired him for a reason, which is beyond...
I have gotten the feeling that Silas is only a head coach because he’s an NBA legacy hire? Him having that job sure reeks of NBA level nepotism....
The excitement is still fresh. That 2022 title was so sweet! I can’t get enough Astros talk and analysis on YouTube!
Major props to Singleton. He got a lot of heat for signing that 10 million dollar contract with the Astros, but he assured his family’s financial...
I have no problem having kept Eric Gordon. From what I’d seen, Gordon likes it here in Houston. Plus the Rocket like Gordon too. It would be...
Verlander is a conundrum for many because of his age. His 2022 CY Young campaign has been age defying, and he has earned the right to get a...
Forest Whitley was once the envy of the Houston pitching development, but now he’s almost taking up valuable minor league roster space. He’s been...
Anybody of note in that list that is moving on? None of those names ring a bell for me, but perhaps folks who know the minor league system better,...
As far as I’m concerned, this rebuild started with Altuve (debut 7/20/11), Keutchel (debut 6/17/12) and JD Martinez (debut 7/30/11). But the...
yikes!!! What was he saying at the GM meetings? Well obviously, it’s a good thing him and the Astros parted ways. I’m curious without a GM, how...
I too think it seems like an overpay for Montero. As historically building bullpens has always been seen as an afterthought with bargain arms. But...
David Samson, who was President of the Marlins stated all teams voted as to the legitimacy of the 2017 title; and all team less the Dodgers and...
Every team was presented all the evidence. And every team voted after seeing the data. And only the Dodgers and Yankees voted to strip the title...
You hit the nail on the head. They really didn’t hit any better, but they did get a few more walks, though nothing to brag about. It was a stupid...
Bullpen pitching was the cherry that took the Astros over the top. The Astros can have the best offensive lineup, but it would be a bigger...
added a resource because there are too many trolls on the internet calling into question the 2017 title. Hence, it’s only a resource for anyone...
I found a good article from Duke university that examined scientifically the sign stealing scheme orchestrated in 2017. Per the data the scheme...
