For comparison sakes, Brad Lidge was 42-4 in his 46 save opportunities in 2005, when the Astros went to the World Series. Lidge was an all star...
This year, Giles has 15 saves and 2 blown saves. Not too many guys in the league have had the opportunity presented to them to have 15 saves this...
I'm wondering if we have the long term solutions already on the roster, i.e., Peacock and Paulino (add that to McCullers and Musgrove, and we have...
Verlander of 2017 is not close to Verlander of 2011. I don't think he's that much better than Fiers.
The guys on the MLB Network figured he was simply hurt, as his dropoff had been so significant and so sudden. Would be interesting to see how he...
Luhnow said on the radio this morning that Morton told him he was instructed by the doctor to have 10 days of "no throw". Went on to say that...
2 thoughts on the lineup tonight: 1. Why not give Centeno one more start before McCann rejoins the team? Let Beltran sit one more game. 2....
Fister did well for about 3 months last year. His approach to sit out the first couple months might actually benefit both him and the Angels.
Didn't realize that Stassi isn't on the 40 man roster anymore, just checked with Centeno's call-up in light of McCann going on the DL. I assume...
Kluber is on the DL, threw for the first time yesterday. They're expecting his return near the end of the month. He's been fairly bad this...
Still think the big need is not for the bullpen, but for a number 2 starter, as McCullers is going to hit an innings limit (or be sent to the DL...
I don't mind the 3 division format, but I'd still reduce the number of games against division opponents. 19 games against each division opponent...
So I take it you disagree with what McCullers did last night? Again, my post was to point out that it appears Hinch's viewpoint has changed on...
Whether we agree or disagree, I'm really just making an observation. Many other coaches in the league, and many prior Astros coaches, would have...
Was McCullers' toss at Napoli the first approved beaning of the Hinch era? Hinch clearly approved of it in his post-game comments. I remember...
Yeah, I think he wanted to keep Devo, Harris and Giles rested b/c he figures he'll need them over the next four days (and no off day this week)....
April went about as good as could be reasonably expected. Still think this team needs a No. 2 starter. Even if McCullers improves (mainly his...
I was happy with the effort. If Marisnick (or a healthy Springer) was playing CF, I think either of those guys makes both of the plays in the...
Ha! On the bright side, all of these injuries are minor and shouldn't set the players back more the a few games. In fact, Luhnow said on the...
A shame for Teo. Was having a great start in Fresno. Luhnow said that Teo would have probably made most MLB rosters out of spring training....
