Because you said they needed 2 wins against Eovaldi / Montgomery. Unless you think those guys are pitching 5 games, they only need 1 win against them.
I was responding to a quote that said Luhnow would not let last night have happened. Luhnow is responsible for Dusty being hired in the first...
They only need to win 1 Eovaldi/Montgomery unless you think they have 4 starts remaining between them. If they are pitching Montgomery in a game 7...
Luhnow let a lot of stuff happen he shouldn’t have which directly led to Dusty being hired. He also let “Hinch” blow the 2019 series. Luhnow was...
Maldy is a competent hitter against lefties. It’s only 100 plate appearances this year, but he’s slashing .239/.316/.500.
Brantley had a career .840 OPS vs RHP and a career .693 OPS vs LHP. His last full season in 2021it was worse (.924 vs .575) although in 2022 it...
I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s still got something left this season, but 2019 Scherzer is not the same as 2023 Scherzer.
I’d bet on Meyers getting a hit before Singleton, but yeah they probably want another lefty option. I get Singleton has more power in theory, but...
Yeah it’s an odd choice. Meyers can give you speed, plus defense, and a competent bat. Singleton occasionally hits a home run and hasn’t exactly...
162 games of performance is a much better predictor than 5.
He had a 7 WAR season (average br and FG) and a 124 wRC+. That’s pretty monster in book.
Fair enough but Semien was a 7 WAR player and Altuve prorates to a little under 5 for a full season. I’ll take the 162 game sample size over the...
The “analysis” here is questionable at best. I love Altuve, but Siemen had a monster season and is a much better defender. I know Evan Carter...
Everyone gets something different from being a fan. You do you.
A player being on the roster or not wouldn’t be Dusty’s decision.
Personally, that’s a bad way to approach being a baseball fan. With 162 game season and the crapshoot that is the playoffs, baseball is much more...
I’ll go with the Phillies. I don’t care too much, but they seem like a more fun team. I’m also scared to piss off any Philly fans as they’re nuts.
Managers get too much credit when a team wins and too much blame when they lose. Looking at the last 4 years, the Astros have had some...
Yes.
MLB showing two pitches to Lewis called balls that were strikes. Not even particularly close.
