    I’ll never understand the logic in running just because it’s a 3-2 count. If you’re going to try to steal, just do it whenever you can get a good jump and they aren’t expecting it.

    Actually that is the good news. Leave him off a team that would overspend putting pieces around him like the Rangers, Yankees, etc. He'll waste away on the Royals team.

    astros are bottom 5 in the league at stealing bases.

    i know it's not one of their focus on offense but like you gotta be at least somewhat of a threat to cause distraction to the pitcher.

    Does Gordon throw anything other than this mid slider and a 91 mph fastball?

    He throws a curve and a changeup but relies heavily on the FB/SL. He’s just not that good; a Brandon Bielak-level prospect.

    Gordon may not go 4 innings. At least Taylor Scott won’t be pitching.

    That's how he usually does it for the last game of the series. On the other hand, my prediction for this series might be correct for once with LWL.
