The Astros are prominently featured in the article and have been doing this for years, guided by the analytics department and medical staff (much to the uncomprehending chagrin of many posters here): With clubs learning every day, ESPN asked MLB executives, managers and players what the increasing interest in load management means to their sport -- and how their teams are using the data. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/40145890/mlb-load-management-next-big-thing-rock-baseball
This is kind of an interesting way to look at how cheap your owner is at least in terms of FA spending: http://tangotiger.com/index.php/site/article/team-depending-on-free-agency There is something positively slimy with how well optimized the Braves are - not even necessarily around being the best but being the best at being efficient. Probably how fans of other teams felt about us all those years. How the tables have turned.
Stros only 5 games out of first in the AL West. Knew this team had too much talent to stay in the cellar!
remind me of pena and altuve blunder in 2022 world series. coincidentally also against the phillies lol
