    The results don’t help his case… and yes, that’s all that matters. I was prepared for Sousa as well (and yet if Sousa gives up the run, people would be wondering if he was the best option).

    But I do think Sousa will elevate as the season goes on… and ultimately be like a lefty version of Maton in terms of situational usage. The fact that he’s been selected to close games when the others have been used or unavailableshows a little bit more on the “trust” factor

    He is sleeping on a pillow case stuffed with cash.
    If he cared he would still be in Houston.
    It's all about the money.

    How does the Astros keep doing this with half of the pitching rotation injured? This is amazing.

    Fun fact:

    Altuve has lit up Philly pitching during his career to the tune of a .321 average. He has never hit a HR however, the only team not named the Astros in which he has not homered.

    Can we hire a hypnotist in the dugout to convince Jake Meyers there are no runners on base every time he comes to bat?

    Hunter Brown leads the league in lowest slug pct against 1 particular pitch type:

    4 Seam FB
    .133

    That is not a typo.

    As a reference point, Sanchez and that killer changeup .172, 3rd best.

    Cy Young a real possibility for Hunter. Glad he wasn’t traded!

    Valdez/Brown
    23-9

    All Others
    25-24

    Since we started this run of 31-15 over our last 46 games, Valdez/Brown starts are a phenomenal 14-2. One of those losses was a 1-0 defeat to Texas, started by Brown. We have won our last 9 Valdez starts.

    Home Games: 30-13

    Day Games: 18-9

    Bring it on. If we're good enough to make the postseason, I won't mind us getting the midweek day game starts.
