    Yeah hopefully I’m wrong and he makes me look stupid. JP France had a nice run in 2023 and out pitched his advanced stats. Maybe Gordon can do the same.

    That said, it’s not going to get easier than facing the Royals and Rays lineups.

    Stros were 52-19 when he pitched last year (personally 8 losses, 4 blown saves, which would add into the losses, right?)

    I'm thinking Yordan will not be back for a while and we gotta leave Altuve at 2nd, we need hitters in the lineup, Dubon only to rest the infield.

    Not necessarily because they could have won a game where he blew a save

    Right. I didn't do all that math from last year, sorry. 19-0 was pretty easy though.

    A lefty SP Houston picked up off the scrap heap after Boston cut him loose. Actually has decent stuff; limits hard contact. You never know.

    He’s pitching well in AAA and he’s left handed. Their best bats this season are left handed so might be a good choice.

    I assume as I saw no stats for 2024 he’s got his Tommy John surgery out of the way?

    OK...so there's 4 OFers: DZ/Jake/Chas/Cam

    Shouldn't be that difficult to find PT for them

    This years Stros are one of the worst coached team I've seen in a long time.

    Nah, he pitched a full season in 2023/24

    2022 was his first year out of college.

    Base running

    Swinging at the 1st pitch when the pitcher just got through walking 2 batters in a row. Stupid

    Imagine where this team would be without the pitching staff
