He has a career OPS+ of 127 and a WRC+ of 128. That means he is 27% better than the average hitter and puts him at the 19th best active player....
10 games is a really small sample size in Baseball and if you're in the World Series you are playing very good teams. Valdez had no control...
Altuve had a really good line through Game 1 of the ALCS, Correa through Game 4 of the ALCS. Bregman was an 0-fer this game, but has hit safely...
Hitting is hard. Alvarez performance at the end of the ALCS made these slumps not matter. If you change the at bats where Tucker got his hits it...
That could have been worse. Hopefully Framber can settle down and regain some control. Would rather not give Morton a lead to work with, but it...
As I mentioned in the post above, I was not thinking about NL parks.
That makes sense. I'm stuck in the AL mindset and I didn't consider needing to pinch hit for the pitcher. Marwin is not exactly a good option,...
It seems unlikely they'd be pinch hitting Diaz for anyone but Maldonado, so Stubbs would accomplish the same and be a better defensive...
Stubbs is a better catcher than Marwin although arguably worse at the plate. Diaz can emergency catch though, so what added value is Marwin...
I still don't get it. The last guy on the roster probably doesn't matter, but a third catcher seems more useful than the current version of...
McCullers reduces the margin of error for the offense going into a slump. You could expect at least 1 shutdown game from him which means the...
The desire to play closer to home or potentially retire had been talked about prior, so I don't think that was a lie. A team he wanted to play...
Agree. With games in the NL you can't get away with no offense from the catcher position as easily and there will be more...
His fastball went from 94-95 to 91-92 between the first and second. The second grand slam is way put things out of reach, so I’d say Odorrizi’s...
So your point is they faked an injury by telling Garcia to throw his fastball 3 mph slower and put a man on base just so they could have Odorizzi...
Yep - it definitely seems less about the discount and more about the length of the contract. They seem willing to pay market value for shorter...
What exactly is the contradiction? I said there was zero reason to have him warm up on the field unless if they didn't think he was hurt. I...
I'm not disagreeing with that. Just saying the Astros only had 2, not 3 and their pitching depth was also just important as the two top guys. I...
I'm not a GM and my guess as to what Carlos will get paid is no better than anyone else's. That being said, if there was one stat to single out...
For the 2017 Astros, I don't think you can really put Morton on that list. Morton was solid that year and obviously pitched amazing in relief in...
