In terms of actual results on the field, their pre-deadline era and wOBA were 4.11 and .309 which were middle of the pack. Their WHIP was 1.33...
He didn’t get Scherzer, but since the deadline the bullpen has been overworked and overall has still held up well. It’s gone from a clear...
If his next 3 starts are the same, then sure. That seems unlikely at this point, but you never know.
I don’t see a scenario where Greinke is not in the rotation, but his last two games do not inspire confidence. They were both against the same...
Only 8 this year (now 9). Abreu leads the AL with 25. Maldy strikes out in about a third of his plate appearance. You actually have to make...
The A’s with a big collapse last night certainly helped. With this lead the Astros should be fine without Brantley, but having him healthy for the...
I assume people are still upset about his comments after last game, but I agree with you. A fifth / sixth pitcher who can give a team a quality 5...
I won’t argue further on 2015 and we can agree to disagree on the definition of contending. They were third in their division in 2016, so I don’t...
Don’t know that you could call the 2016 team really contending. The 2015 and 2016 teams were good, but the offense was really feast or famine....

I’m generally against these massive, really long contracts and I don’t think the Astros should do a 10 year contract. Given the season he’s put...
So he’d be making a decision to prioritize money over anything else. That’s perfectly fine, but he still is making the decision. It’s completely...
They have spoiled us, but they have the second best record in the American League and the best run differential. They’re pretty good and no team...
I logged on to check the score and I see the Astros were facing a rookie pitcher with an ERA over 5 who had given up 14 runs in his last two...
I’m not sure at what point they decided to trade Straw, but i doubt there was anything much better out there. There was some indication Maton...
Most of these contracts are structured where a team under pays at the beginning and overpays are the end. If you look at the last few years, they...
Good point. The recent poor performances are probably less regression to the mean as much as natural variation. The Astros don't have a Gerrit...
If there is a concern about starting pitching, I think that is only because of a small small sample of recent results. Astros starting pitching...
