    16-7 when Diaz catches and Chas plays somewhere. While this isn't the best measure of a position player, if it makes sense at all, it is with a difference as large as Diaz over Maldy.

    How do you even get into 1st place with a bullpen like that?

    As someone with rubber ankles from years of playing ball, I think his sprain is likely to be mild. He rolled it inwards, and it didn't appear to extend completely. It's painful, for sure, but usually recovers in 7-10 days.

    Doesn’t seem as much an issue for other teams. Yankees hit just fine at mmp.

    Why doesn't it affect our opponents, if that's the issue?

    People always read too much into random variance, you are gonna get some weird results from season to season that don't actually have any underlying meaning.

    The Astros home OPS was 70 points higher last season with almost the exact same group. I don't think Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez suddenly forgot how to hit at MMP.

    EIGHT position players and THREE starting pitchers all having their best career seasons by far.

    Pretty much all players except Seager have regressed to their norm.

    Rangers had a crazy .400 BA wRISP too.

    Astros played many many games @MMP before the change. Tal's Hill was removed too.

    But home discrepancies hasn't been an issue since 2019. Astros have played well after the first two seasons. Those first seasons of underperforming stick out for some reason.

    Thanks....I hope so. Hated to see him give up up a HR but we need his arm.

    I am SOOO disappointed with Jose Abreu....hitting .232. Early on I saw a bases loaded ending ending out. I'm starting to wonder if he will get it going AT ALL. His dead bat is just a killer.

    Yep, they blame Dusty for everything. No credit for playing Dubon....in the 9th hole no less...and he is Willie Mays for a day.

    You are a clown. Tell me again how it was a great idea to PH for Chas with Singleton
