Dusty Baker was handed the best roster in baseball with the Astros. The Yankees were mediocre at best then got better with Joe Torre. Would you...
23 wins 32 losses in the playoffs prior to managing the Astros.
For my own sanity I’m boycotting games started by Maldy for a while. All it does is frustrate me the entire game watching the inferior player get...
I know it’s probably not ideal, but Abreu looks like he could use a 10 day rest on the IL. His arm just looks tired, he’s been used too much, and...
One of your three worst bats in the regular nine should not bat 2 hole no matter what.
107 MPH & 447 feet to the opposite field?! Goodness gracious, not sure I’ve seen that before.
I just don’t see the point in protecting a sub .700 OPS when we have much better hitters that need to bat more often than Peña.
So dumb waiting for Alvarez at the 5 hole. Get Peña out of 2 hole and bat Alvarez 3 and Tucker 4 or vice versa. I usually believe in sandwich the...
Meyers straight up for the best SP we can get for him. Chas and Julks have both outperformed him and OF is our organization strength. Dubon can...
I don’t care if he was making 50mil a year, Abreu needs to sit out at a minimum a series, but really probably a few weeks worth of games and try...
If the Astros are going to carry three catchers then Díaz should be DH every game he’s not catching. Only times he shouldn’t is if one of the big...
Abreu was already warming with the game being tied so just let him roll. Ryan also pitched 3 of 4 days prior so two days off heading to TB is helpful.
Exactly what I was thinking. No need with 2 outs in the 9th and not the tying run.
Can any of the minor league standout bats potentially play 1st at all? I’m not someone who thinks just anybody can play 1st but curious if we even...
I agree that no way he gets pulled to start the fifth, but once two guys were on, tying run, it made sense to go to Abreu who was warm to face...
Why are we giving them an extra look at Pressly when Neris was already warming up last inning? They’ll hopefully see Pressly enough this series....
He looks lost. Even his 1st inning double was really just a fly ball to left that barely got the Crawford Box wall.
When did Framber go exclusively from the stretch? The way he’s looked this year he might not get better than a AAA contract from anyone.
I know why Dusty did it - leaving JV in the game in the 5th when the tying run reached - trying to get JV his first WS win, BUT the right call was...
Time to put Yordan back to DH. I think playing LF every game is affecting his hitting. Put Hensley in LF for game 2.
