Other than Mike Fiers, I couldn’t agree more. I especially wanted Correa to be an Astro for life after the way he stepped up to become a leader...
There should be no ill will towards Springer leaving the Astros. If you had earned a significant raise multiple times at your job and every time...
It is an absolute blessing to have the Astros owned by someone committed to winning championships. Jim Crane is always looking to improve, and he...
In this post you quoted, @sealclubber1016 was talking about J.P. France, not Hunter Brown. His point was France’s underlying metrics looked a lot...
He’s the guy that torched the Astros in the 2021 World Series as a member of the Braves. He tormented Framber Valdez in games 2 and 6.
Before last season, Jose Urquidy had pitched far better than a run-of-the-mill #5 starter. Hiis ERA’s were: 3.95, 2.73, 3.62 and 3.94. His...
That’s fair, and I would happily take that from France. Either way, that’s still a MLB-quality pitcher.
Yes, McCormick has a poor arm. That doesn’t make him overrated. He had the third-highest OPS among centerfielders with at least 400 at bats in...
Chas McCormick is not overrated and one of the better center fielders in Major League Baseball. He had an .842 OPS last season in 113 games. In...
J.P. France is not a AAAA-caliber pitcher nor was all his success at the big league level due to good fortune. Metrics like FIP and xFIP are...
In an interview with Brian McTaggart today at Fan Fest, McCullers said he is throwing from 80 feet and targeting a July return. So, his timeline...
Good idea. You would need someone to tandem start with McCullers until Garcia returns in the second half of 2024.
I agree with you about Pressly’s importance in the 2022.. For his career, I believe Pressly has a 0.00 postseason ERA. That’s ridiculous and...
Once Jose Abreu swallowed his pride and went on the IL for a back injury, he started hitting with far more power. He hit some big home runs...
Agreed. Unless J.P. France craps the bed in Spring Training, he’s likely beginning the year in the Astros’ rotation because he profiles better as...
The good thing about Brown is he has the ability to be a dominant reliever even if he doesn’t pan out to be a quality starting pitcher. That...
It’s still good and perfectly acceptable for a sixth/seventh inning reliever.
I love Ryan Pressly, and he has been as good one as can be in the postseason, but let’s not forgot that Chas McCormick saved his bacon in a...
Was I expecting the Astros to sign Josh Hader this offseason? Absolutely not. But, I couldn’t be more excited and happy they did. It is so...
If the Padres’ front office hadn’t changed course at the trade deadline, the Astros had a deal worked out to acquire Hader. Crane has wanted him...
