Not swinging at strikes isn't the problem. Not swinging at strikes and then not hitting when you swing is the problem. It puts a lot of pressure...
Improvement is not guaranteed. If teams thought last year that he would be as good this year as he was, he probably would have declared. Not a big...
Really tough trying to figure out how good he is in a small sample in which he's being hosed by the umps. I really hope his eye is as good as it...
Good thing he's hitting as he's given up on playing defense. He was one of my favorite players as an Astro, and just clicking through videos of...
Dubon can't hit, but plays good defense on the dirt (he's made a couple of bad plays at 2B, but making good plays/being dependable way overshadows...
I almost put 1000, but then googled it as 1000 just didn't sound right. I just did not read far enough about the one being thrown out.
Yep. FVV got a lot of open looks last night. While he's struggled with looks that aren't open, he knocked down open threes this season. Last night...

Alvarez, Diaz, and Walker hit like normal, the Astros are leading the AL West. The Astros are usually losing with the starters on the mound making...
https://tht.fangraphs.com/tht-live/do-teams-improve-by-firing-their-managers/ Interesting that this article found that teams actually performed...
FVV shot better this season than what he did last night. On open and wide open threes if he made them at the rates he shot them in the regular...
FVV has to shoot better.
Stability matters. Firing people just means a team doesn't know what it is doing, and likely will not yield a positive result from the players. If...
The players. The Astros aren't being beaten by strategy. The pitching coach is the only one who really has much of an effect on production on the...
Rough year so far for Diaz. Some bad luck is making it worse, but still horrible even with neutral luck. Glad the Astros have Caratini, who they...
