Astros, Josh Hader agree to 5 year, $95 million contract

I said it then (look it up!) that Hader was the one guy they would regret putting in that trade. Now he's an Astro again!

 

Re-sign Neris and drop mutha****in soupbones on 'em in the late innings.

 

Any relation to Bill Hader?

 

Echos of Lidge/Dotel/Wagner. It didn't last long enough, but it was sweet for a little bit.

 

All hail BIG BALLS CRANE.

 

That team didn't even make the playoffs...

 

A move we had to make since Abreu is suspended for 2 games to open the season.

 

Maybe this bodes well for Tucker . I don't know.

 

YESSIR!!!!!

 

But it wasn't because of the bull pen.

 

So, the Astros finally decided to actually do something this offseason.

Welcome aboard, Josh Hader.

 

Teams better score early because we gonna lock them muthas down

 

Indeed... although the Astros were as guilty as any team last year of either winning a game if they have the early lead or automatically losing games (especially home games) where the other team scored first.

 

So much for the "they are looking to tear down the team after 2025" narrative?

 

2 hours and 15 minutes

 

They won 90 games, 36 were comeback wins.

 

Astros got tired of the all the non stop media and fan attention the Texans were receiving....and wanted to jump into the spotlight some.

I'm still in shock they actually signed him. Amazing, that opposing teams will basically 6 innings to try and score on the starter before being shut down.

 

and how many at home?

That stat also includes any 1-0 deficit comeback, so lets get a little granular now with things!

That late season comeback in Baltimore though... epic stuff. As was game 5. Alas all forgotten in a year they aren't winning the last game of the season.
