That team would probably do at least as well as the Reds this year.
Seriously, if he can't get his exit velo above 95mph and hit a launch angle between 25 and 35 degrees in 80% or more of his at bats, the boy is...
I have no opinions to express at the moment on the clock-based rules you propose, but I certainly agree that the "designated runner on second...
Next year, we ought to see Altuve surpass Jose Cruz for third place on the franchise stolen base leader board. If he gets signed up long-term, who...
A lot of people anticipate that Danny Farquahr won't make his team's opening day roster and will go unclaimed on waivers. Could he be a Brent...
SuperJack was a surprise to me too. I never thought much of him watching Fresno games. He's in the mix with White as the utility replacement for...
The 2020-2021 Astros would probably get better results from one of the guys in the minors currently (like Armenteros, Bukauskas, Whitley seems a...
Looking back at Correa's debut (https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHA/CHA201506080.shtml), I had forgotten that his first hit (and RBI)...

105, unless Hinch steps off the gas in September bc the team is so far ahead in the standings. Then it may be around 102.
I'm sure Luhnow appreciates it. Cool song.
They will still give Sipp 3 or 4 more outings at least. He's had three strong appearances and one dumpster fire. Still too early to tell on Sipp,...
Sound advice. I think the last time I heard it was on an episode of Johnny Bench's "Baseball Bunch".
4 Astros errors in a game... don't recall it ever happening last season.
I suppose anybody could have a bad season. But the guy I worry about more than anyone among those you mentioned is Rondon.
