If Maldy helps JV win the cy young again this year, i don't really care what he hits. I think its pretty clear that the Astros FO believes Maldy...
Seems like a good situation to get him up and hanging out with JV for the next two years.
He played 37 games last season, 67 if you include the winter league. Seems pretty reasonable to give him regular rest now in the build up to a...
Super early stat blast but the Astros centerfielders are collectively 3rd in the majors in WAR so far: Hitting .391/.440/.652 with a .261 ISO and...
Agree. Cautiously optimistic is the way to go. Happy with what he's done so far but def gonna be keeping an eye on his walks and strikeouts. 5 K's...

The Effectively Wild episode 1815 had Fangraphs prospect guys Eric Longenhagen and Kevin Goldstein on. They made a few references to Korey Lee (as...

Best case is he wins a ring this year and next year.
garcia threw his last/badass start on 5 days rest. Wonder if they’re thinking the extra rest will be magic in a bottle again
Eh, it's the least of their worries right now. That option will still be there in a month. It wouldn't move the needle for Yuli one bit right now....
Can't find the article but i remember reading some stuff that said that Josh Miller is highly regarded. He was elevated to co-pitching coach with...
Freaking love it! GO STROS!!!!
Guys in the first year back from Tommy John are usually a shadow of their peak performance. I wouldn't pencil Verlander into all-star level...
Think so? They usually don't consider guys who didn't play a game in the post-season on the roster. And he didn't play regular season either....
