I can't figure out why the Astros failed to try batting him left-handed, since the correct strategy is just to try anything. He could have been...
Who are all these in-house options in the OF? For pitching, at least they have credible MLB players in Blanco and Wesneski as potential options...
Warming up in the pen today - or even playing today - doesn't affect his availability tomorrow. Again, he hasn't pitched in 4 days and will get a...
Probably because he hasn't pitched in 4 days and you don't have to worry about games after tomorrow since he'll get another long break. If it...
Sure - he's a different player on a totally different development track. Wood had more minor league games and years to develop than Cam has total...
Cam Smith played 32 minor league games. James Wood played 283.
I think some of this was circumstantial due to his age. His 2016 was one of the best of his career and on par with his 2018, so he wasn't...
The Astros would probably be worse off then, given that they had won 3 of his last 4 starts during the last month.
Sure - but Burrows value to the Astros is over potentially 5 years, not 3.5 months. It's silly to try to measure a trade that involves 2 prospects...
That doesn't make it a disaster. If none of these 3 players end up being quality MLB players, then it's just shuffling around no value for other...
He had a short stint in MLB last year with an impressive 0.419 OPS. And now he's a minor leaguer. Would he be any better than Meyers or Cole or...
Is it really that bad? Kikuchi and Tucker were both good trades. Burrows hasn't worked out - but he still has 4 or 5 years left to contribute...
hmm...
Who are the amazing 7/8/9 hitters on this team that normally power this offense?
I would hope any free agent goes to a team assuming that their front office is going to try to improve the roster. Now that's a negative? If it...
Who have the Astros traded in high and/or traded out low?
The boxscore will change to account for it - the NBA is not just going to stop tracking how many points people are getting from free throws....
FWIW, I don't think anyone is adjusting formulas or boxscores for g-league games, but they will adapt for an NBA game. Whenever they added the 3...
I imagine it's for drama's sake. Similarly in football, they have a running clock during most of the game but then stop it more often in the last...
I'm not talking about the box score - I'm talking about when calculating your TS% that you were concerned about. It's easy to keep the same...
