He generally throws sinkers instead of four seamers, so perhaps that’s what you’re seeing?
He was saying that he thought Cruz was going to jinx the Astros like he (seemingly) does other teams that he is in attendance and rooting for, and...
I think he ditched the four seamer a while ago, or at least I remember a story about Greinke basically telling him it sucks and that it was good...
You said the Astros messed up back then, and that hopefully they, the Astros, have learned from that. You were using the same subject, the Astros,...
Yes, hopefully Jim Crane and Dana Brown have learned from the mistakes they made before they were ever involved with the team :).
I have never heard of this player and when I saw 105 in the tweet I thought it was referring to the pitcher, so I was very confused at first...
Yeah that’s why I said I knew they were both top 3 prospects at one point. I’m guessing if Cam Smith stayed in the minors and produced like...
Neither Bregman nor Correa were a top 3 prospect in the sport in their first full year of minor league baseball though, which is what this year...
Ok I’m tired of arguing about Darnold. I think it is pretty obvious that Stroud’s issues last year were caused by a mix of a horrible o-line and...
Ok, well the author already discounted the Vikings’ pressure rate, and I doubt the Texans’ line was anywhere close to 2nd in PBWR.
“C.J. Stroud’s propensity to hold the ball for a long time didn’t help (3.00-second time to throw), but a 10.7% sack rate in the face of the blitz...
Where did you see that the run block win rate was the reason for the high ranking? Here is a quote from the article: “In the run game, Minnesota...
I agree that Darnold played better than Stroud last year and I never said otherwise. If I remember correctly the Texans offense was the worst or...
Pressure made Mahomes, who is one of the greatest qbs ever, play absolutely awful in two Super Bowls. CJ’s average pressure rate this year was...
No it isn’t. His contract has this year and next year remaining, and also baseball seasons only span one calendar year.
Hopefully CJ’s footwork issue was just a symptom of the mess that was our offense. I think it is pretty damning for the offensive staff that his...
We also have no idea how good any of the pitchers are that Lance would replace. At least we have a track record with Lance to go off of. And I...
Once again, if Lance is healthy he is probably better than any of the other options, and if the Astros are worried about affecting a prospect’s...
What does any of this have to do with my post? If Lance never comes back then none of the starter/reliever talk matters. If he does then I’m...
Yeah I’m aware, and that was my whole point in asking whether a relief role is more likely to keep a pitcher healthy than a starting role.
