I think Dezenzo would have out performed Walker so far at 1B although that’s not gong to happen. Hell they could swap 1B between Catarini and...
Projection systems now have both Gordon and Walter pegged as 2+ WAR full season SPs. Would be wild if the Astros found another pair of good SPs...
Walter needs to be in the rotation moving forward. Send Gusto back to the pen.
Cal Raleigh should easily be in the MVP conversation though.
Colton Gordon is on a 4 WAR full season pace through his first 24 IP. Not bad at all. Also, the change they need to make is to let Walter take...
When did Walter last pitch?
Lance out pitching boy wonder and yall were saying he’s cooked.
They probably will bring in somebody (maybe not a SP3 though), but part of me hopes they gamble it. Walter deserves some starts. Even after his...
More than anything, the guy needs regular work. I can't imagine how difficult it must be for someone with his limited MLB experience to only play...
After a very slow start, I really like where Yainer is at now in his hitting. Over his last 50 PA he has a 8BB% and 18K% and has avoided GBs...
I can't see them selling as long as they are in contention to win the division, and they don't need Alvarez to do that. Maybe they'll have more...
Great start by McCullers. He seems to be coming around.
Didn't see this posted yet: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/christian-walker-hasnt-fixed-the-astros-first-base-problem/ While he has been unlucky,...
I love this pen so much. Guys like King, Ort, and Okert are not flashy at all and most fans probably don't even know who they are but they just...
I think his slider is definitely a put away pitch (120+ Stuff+ with plenty of whiffs), but being a slider it's going to have a big handedness...
I think more or less out on Gusto as a SP at this point (although he could still be a very good reliever), but if the Astros can find something...
His slider is very good, and his fastball isn't as bad as it would appear given its limited velocity. I think he needs to further develop his...
Colton Gordon has been surprisingly effective in his time so far. Probably can’t maintain it, but he’s at least showing what it would look like...
Gonna need Gordon, Gusto, Walter, and/or Blubaugh to step up bigly. Unreal how many devastating pitching injuries they have had over the past few...
Really odd pitch mix. Throws a really hard slider, an upper 80s heater, and a low 90s change.
