Given Altuve was injured for a significant chunk of the season from getting hit on the hand in the WBC, you probably want to prorate their WAR...
No broken bones (seemed unlikely), and we already knew he had bruising and inflammation. So we haven’t really learned anything new :(
Framber would probably be my top priority if I was GM. There just aren’t that many pitchers that can reliably give you close to 200 IP at 30-40%...
Win one game against Seattle and let Yordan rest until the postseason and start that healthy is a much better outcome than many alternatives.
I’m not saying the Astros “lost this trade” or Will Wagner is going to be a future star. Ive pointed out the team is better this year and the guys...
It was an overpay because that’s what the market required. It’s not a criticism of the trade or saying the Blue Jays would have taken less. It’s a...
Bailed out by the ump. The hits weren’t that hard hit, but once Scott got ahead in the count for the most part he didn’t even throw competitive...
It was an overpay, but one that made sense for the Astros given their needs and state of the team. Wagner is already 26 and will probably be a...
He’s had issues in the WS, but he has been nails in the Divison Series and LCS overall. He’s pitched 226 innings in the post season with a 17-12...
It was a play that should have been made, but I don’t see the scorer calling that an error. You can’t assume a perfect throw even if he fields it...
So he’s net 0 in terms of aggressive base running.
I might be missing something but Yuli averaged an 81 OPS+ his last two seasons and had below average defensive metrics in 2023. He’s now 40 years...
Anything more than 1 win is a bonus in book for this reason. Also why blowing winnable games against the Orioles was so frustrating.
He shouldn’t be on the team if his role is beyond a left handed pinch hit option off the bench and giving another 1B an occasional day off. Most...
The Astros are paying him the pro-rated league minimum and not $9M. With the Astros in need of bullpen depth it doesn’t hurt to take a flyer.
Plenty of season left, so I wouldn’t count them out now. A 4 game cushion in the loss column is nice.
38-21 since Tucker got hurt Seriously though they need Tucker back.
2.5 game lead and 3 in the loss column!
Hopefully it just stung and they are erring on being cautious for the rest game. He was moving it around and didn’t seem in tremendous pain.
Swapping Abreu and Pressly wouldn’t have made sense if you want Pressly to pitch in lower leverage situations. Abreu came in with the tying run...
