“Joey…do you ever go to the mlb website and Astros Game Wrap “Key Moments” Summary and think ‘based on those win probabilities of 86.8% chance of Rangers winning that game when it was 0 - 3…we probably should have lost the game!’. You see, Joey…win probabilities…like airplane accident probabilities…can be misleading. Did you enjoy that, Joey? Sure you did! Good boy!”
In the last AB he did exactly that which we needed. He avoided the DP, didn’t **** up the MO and got the **** out of the way so Big Sack could do his thing!
He is, and has been, underrated for years. He may never hit .300 or win a gold glove - but he works the count, has power and gets on base.
A fun drinking game would be if you take shots for every pitch altuve sees, after the first pitch, in each at bat. or would you just be stone cold sober the whole game?
I disagee, Framber is a SP2 that sometimes can be a SP1. Blanco is a great SP3. I'm hoping one of Blubagh/Gordon etc... can become the next SP in the pipeline. Arrighetti should be back soon. Walker/Altuve/Alvarez were supposed to carry the team and they are flirting with the Mendoza line lately. Dana definitely needs to find a bat. Imagine this lineup with Arrenado in it.
