Yeah. He’s getting lots of opportunities to knock in runs where he is hitting, so I don’t see it as a problem that a good hitter is batting there....
That Pujols homer is probably still orbiting the earth. I mean it just wasn’t when he hit it, but how he hit it. That was a lot different than two...
Teams are going to look at his production over the entire season, not the playoffs when making decisions. Post season performance might matter on...
Why? They have 4 solid young pitchers (Javier, Urquidy, Framber, and Garcia), Odorrizi should be a competent number 5 if he starts the season...
They won two games in LA, so maybe. A few things go the other way and they win in 2019. They cheated. It is what it is, but it’s probably not...
The good news is Greinke can pinch hit tonight.
Kyle Tucker also leaving 12 men on base this series more than any other Astro. He’s had plenty of opportunities in the 7th hole to break open...
The Astros had 15 winning streaks of 3 or more games, so certainly possible. Had you told me before the series that the Braves would lose...
Ultimately it comes down to execution and the Astros haven’t. You can also point to some luck on batted balls (Altuve’s not homer, Greinke’s...

He wasn’t yanked. He was pinch hit for. Before the game they said he’d face 12 batters at most. He wound up facing 14 and threw 58 pitches.
At least they made Atlanta pitchers throw 27 pitches in an inning. That does help with 2 bullpen games for them.
Seems like Correa and Tucker are just as responsible.
I wonder if Dusty is trying to give him extra motivation to stay in the game long enough to hit.
I’d normally say having the pitcher hitting 9th can potentially get you one extra inning on the mound without having to pinch hit, but I don’t...
Gave up 3 hits (one HR) and 2 runs. Also 3 strikeouts.
I meant that they had better chances to score and couldn’t get the ball out of the infield in terms of it not mattering. It certainly seemed like...
In real-time I didn’t think either team benefited much, so that seems to be confirmed. I’m surprised with the consistency score as the zone felt...
It’s weird. Anderson was throwing a no hitter, but he didn’t actually look that good in terms of stuff. He wasn’t getting swings and misses and...
I think this is a combination of selective memory, recency bias, and the fact that the best major league hitters still fail 70% of the time....
