The deployment of Abreu in the postseason was one of the biggest surprises and developments. He is closer is waiting with four more years of club...
in the playoffs, Abreu was deployed as the classic, highest leverage fireman. He could go 7th or 8th inning, depending on where the most...
There is a lesson in recent playoffs… even really good relievers get hit with usage and batters seeing them more often in a long series. It’s...

It has been an absolutely glorious two days. Long post to follow. As a kid, I was crushed when the Astros lost to that Philly team. Names like...
Ok, it’s going to be the feel good story continued. JV got his W in Game 5. Mancini gets his shot at some magic at the plate. Astros redemption...

Talked to a knowledgeable PHI fan at the game. He said that wheeler took a come backer in the leg in the SD series and that could be why his...
