He seems like a nice guy and getting back to MLB is a nice story. He’s also still a below replacement level 1B and not the answer for the Astros...
The medical staff’s track record on keeping pitchers healthy hasn’t been all that impressive.
Im not going to argue against the outcomes, they are what they are. I don’t think him pitching in the 9th was why he had better results last...
Pressly has the third best FIP on the team. His issue seem to be more about luck than anything mental or opportunity related. I don’t think...
Can Grienke play 1B? He might actually provide better offensive production (his career OPS is only .020 behind Singleton) and he could eat up...
In the last 6 games the Astros have given up 2, 3, 3, 2, 3, and 4 runs. That's 2.83 runs per game. They went 2-4 in those games. Pitching,...
Just keep winning series
This seems like the most obvious thing. And the most discouraging as you don’t magically get younger taking a few weeks off. He clearly had some...
Maybe there is some 5D chess or whatever, but the game situation and post game comments seem like a real dumb way to teach a lesson. You can’t be...
I don’t think that’s how it works.
The Astros have had a tough schedule and a lot of injuries. However they have a softer schedule coming up and if they play below .500 against the...
Well he is hitting .382 right now.
Yep, they are bad. I was using a euphemism. Neither one of these guys should be a starter on a club with World Series aspirations and it’s a GM...
Singleton on the season: .250 / .344 / .321 It’s better than Abreu, but those aren’t great for a 1B. He has negative WAR and an OPS+ of 98. All...
That was more than a full season in the past. Belt could drop off a cliff too, but he’s been good more recently than Abreu and is younger....
Abreu is 37 and has looked done for a year. Singleton is 32 and a career OPS under .600 and a negative career WAR. Belt had an OPS of .860 last...
If people want to talk about Espada as a manager, shouldn’t the comparison be to who else the Astros could have hired? Dusty isn’t with the...
Diaz was not a free agent. He signed an extension that covered 2 years of arbitration. Not really a comparable situation.
Meyers did not look good in that at bat.
Astros 10 hits 3 runs. KC 4 hits 3 runs. Been that kind of season so far. Time to pick it up.
