    Then September, as I said, may make sense.

    LMJ is so done. Love the guy but seriously one of the worst contracts.

    The magic needs to be reset. Peña hasn’t been killing it this series. By theory, he should get even more pitches to hit. Dubon made the most of the pitches he got in the lead off spot.

    That is ****ing brutal. For both Lance and the Astros. Possible Houston could get 0.8 fwar and 47.2 ip for $85M. Those are the kinds of contracts that can close a window. Especially if combined with another $60M for a worthless 1B.

    Last year's bullpen would have 5 fewer losses at this time last season.

    So that's 41-21 and a projected 107 wins.

    Plain and simple the reason we are projected for 94 wins instead.

    Yankees 36-27
    Dodgers 36-27
    Astros 36-26

    These were 3 of the top 4 teams predicted to win it all. Atlanta was just recently 33-24 before winning it's last 4 games.

    Challenging year for the favorites.

    What is the bullpen's ERA for each season?

    Surely a 30-point OPS increase for the offense --- the outcome if Abreu was .830 instead of .560 --- would help the starters and the bullpen avoid L's

    Altuve played the entire season last year and was .900+

    We have a pretty terrible record with Pena hitting lead off, right? We tried experiment earlier in the season and Pena couldn't buy a hit.
