    New question: How can so many different pitchers get injured so soon in a new season?

    Apparently our pitchers get hurt when they throw a strike. Explains the walks...

    Did they all just sit around all spring? I don’t know, I didn’t follow spring training.

    Silver lining - Jayden. Murray looks really good! I would give him a shot a high leverage situtation to see how he fares

    I think there was an episode of X-Files where minor league players were all playing terrible and getting injured and Mulder discovered the club’s trainer was paid to secretly implant the players with devices for some experiment run by a shadowy multinational biofirm.

    if they hit your pitches they hit your pitches

    why are they so scared to throw strikes?

    There's an extreme lack of situatonal awareness with Astros challenges. They should be OK getting some wrong in critical situations. But instead they get them wrong in the most pointless of situations and don't challenge the ones where it could make a huge difference.
