I think all he's saying is it's given Pena the chance to hit in the 2-hole full time and he's taken advantage of that. And long term that's super...
Just checking in to the thread. Hell yea! Let's go Stros!!!!!!
now seems like a good time to jump back on the thread. GO STROS!
I don't think he *wants* to be a catcher, but the org can definitely block his path at 1B/DH and get him to reconsider.
Agree with the idea that the Stros won't bring in external to cover CF. It needs to be a position they don't spend money on, cuz they're basically...
I don't think using Yanier at 1B full time makes a lot of sense. He should be groomed as backup C. Think there needs to be a dependable top 6...
Feel the same way. Dusty's managing in the first two series was solid. For whatever reason in the WS, he's leaning harder on his starters and key...
Lol. You disagree with me so I'm nitpicking. C'mon man.
It's such a weird situation. 39 y/o coming off Tommy John and a near 2-year layoff. There's no precedent for that.
I dunno. Running out Montero for a second night in an extended outing was iffy. I know Neris, Montero, and pressly are his safety blankets but...
phew.
Rizzo would be an interesting addition. He's basically Brantley's salary and production (more power/less avg).

They've been really bad at development overall. The baby bombers era completely fizzled. Compounded with not great professional scouting and they...
They've been known for horrible defense for a while. Castellenos, Schwarber are very weak defenders and their infield has also had its struggles....
After 7 playoff games, Yuli's at .367/.367/.567 with a 168 wRC+. Let's hope the Yuli vindication tour continues. :D
the Phillies obviously have a deep lineup but they’re gonna have to ride their ace starters and 2-3 trusted relievers hard. the Astros pitching...
Exactly. Especially when you watch Booney in the other dugout. Now there's a guy who's made some questionable decisions. He's literally throwing...
Good times. Lets keep it going boyz!
Anyone else love the commentary "Dusty has shown a lot of faith in Chas". Lol if only they knew. LETS GO STROS
