MLB game power is a lot more about quality of contact than raw power these days. 30HR power is a pipe dream with his current quality of contact.
Okay that's fair. The Astros were notable the other year for having the least negative WAR in baseball. I don't necessarily think that moves the...
Not sure I understand or agree with that logic. The best way for a bubble team to increase their playoff odds is to increase their ceiling, not...
Double post
I flat out disagree. I’m not saying it’s a super common strategy, but it’s definitely a known thing to try to put extra pitches on a tiring pitcher.
It is a known strategy. If a hitter puts 10-15 high effort pitches on a pitcher and the pitcher isn’t removed, the pitcher is more liable to serve...
Diaz ain't gonna be putting in significant time in CF. He's played 9 major league innings in the outfield; he'll be in the LF rotation.

Hopefully the FO identifies a new batch of grizzled veteran leaders that have some on-the-field skills left.
Imagine they’re just looking at massive overpay offers. Madbum ain’t going anywhere for a Cole-like package.
Definitely not ideal but he actually did a really great job of not giving them the chance to blow it open. There weren't any random meatballs down...
Beer. The cause of and solution to all of life's problems.
The Brewers look surprisingly good and have a great vibe going, not all too dissimilar to the Astros last year. I wouldn't be surprised if the...
I really think this is the narrative that MLB and TBS were trying to avoid. The Astros just beat the tar out of the opposition in an almost...
