To associate *this* Astros team with anything from Houston's dubious sports past is remarkably silly. Some of you need some perspective. Have you...
France should've been pulled, absolutely. But you want to burn Ryan Pressly in the 4th inning of a game 7 to maintain a two-run deficit?...
This is such an empty complaint. They never had a lead after the second inning of game 6, and they didn't know the status of Abreu for game 7. So...
With Abreu's potential suspension, it could've been costly to burn him in game 6 when you never had a late lead. I'm at a loss where he would've...
Goodness. Kyle Tucker is one of the best hitters in baseball and a really good defensive outfielder. But we're upset he doesn't have more "swag"?
In their four losses, Maldonado had two what I would deem "crucial" at-bats: - game 1, bottom of the 4th inning; bases loaded, 2 outs. He struck...
I think they'd be foolish to build *any* plans around Lance McCullers. I'm not terribly enthused about their starting rotation, actually. JV...
There are half-a-dozen reasons the Astros fell short this year - but their lackluster offseason might be #1 on my list. It screamed complacent....
I think there's a decent chance all five of our pending free agents - Brantley, Maldonado, Maton, Neris & Stanek - will be gone. And I think their...
Brown being new to the organization - and, presumably, handed the keys with Baker gone - it wouldn't shock me if he charted a new path. He comes...
Did you really watch last night’s game and somehow determine the #9 hitter was the problem??
I feel fairly confident Stanek, Blanco and any 1 of our lesser starters would’ve been worse than Montero, who was very good last year and was...
Yeah; I would’ve gone Chas for Peña and Diaz for Maldonado. I wonder how much Chas’ awful AB in game 2 was prejudicing Baker? If there’s already...
Because you’d be asking a starting pitcher - none of whom have lights-out stuff - to fill an unfamiliar role in a high-leverage situation. That’s...
Diaz has struck out 5/12 plate appearances this postseason and, generally, is a free swinger (his walk rate is 3%). He was never going to see a...
He's on their roster because a) the Astros' system is not deep; b) he destroyed - and I do mean destroyed - pitching in Sugar Land (.446/.692)....
The one wrinkle is that you're going to need two PHs back-to-back - so how do you sequence them? ***IF*** Singleton can draw a walk - which ties...
***IF*** Baker is back... I wonder if they'll try to flip Chas for pitching? He's their one seemingly decent asset who could bring back some real...
I'd like to see them put Bregman 2nd and Alvarez 3rd; then Abreu, Tucker and Chas. If there's ANY chance Diaz plays tonight, I would lobby hard...
I was at my son's baseball tournament (they were literally getting their rings *during* Singleton's AB, lol - it was TENSE!) so I wasn't "in" the...
