I would not assume Yankees or Red Sox win against Mariners when Mariners likely use Paxton and Diaz. I'd give them a slight edge over Mariners in a Wild Card game.

He had an OPS over 1.000 his last week in May. I'm not going to make much out of a bad stretch of 8 games when the preceding 6 were amazing.

 

Gattis became the first Astro in franchise history with 5 RBIs in b2b games.

 

And they would likely use Severino/Sale in the WC game, so that would delay our seeing them by a few games.

 

This is honestly one of my favorite gifs on here. Mostly because it means we are destroying the other team, but I also can't help but laugh every time.

 

It was something about catch percentage.

 

Jake's expected catch percentage is 89%. His actual catch percentage is 96%. That 7% difference leads the league. Regarding, Deshields high ranking, his expected catch percentage is 82% and actual is 88%.

It was ADDED catch percentage

 

??

You clearly didn’t get my joke

 

The Astros offense has restored order. Up to 2nd in wRC+.

Second best offense, best pitching is a decent formula for success I'd say.

 

This explains what another poster had questioned. DeShields is ranked highly because of the *difference*, not talent.

 

That wrestling era was after my time, but that's some good brutal sells there, not surprised it's Bret Hart doing his job.

 

Dislike a subpar OF in this ballpark.

 

Too easy

 

Should have waited a second there Margo

Nevermind, saw that it was a run on contact play

 

Thank you!

 

Forgot that they have Coco Crisp out there pitching for them today

 

As long as they can cover the 5 acres of foul territory...

 

When’s Minute Maid Park going to become Craig Biggio Park/Jeff Bagwell Park?
