  1. They already did in some form. Ok, Alberto is a poor man’s Altuve, but it’s a start. ? At a minimum I never would have expected what he gave them. Altuve is a rare case, signed for very little, has great bat speed and a tremendous desire to succeed. One of my favorites.
  2. If 2019 was mostly about landing Rutschman and overhauling the organizational structure to suit Elias’s vision, then how about 2020? Well, the club will be picking second in the coming draft and can surely look ahead to another lofty pick in 2021. But now’s also the time for the new front office to make shrewd assessments of its own sub-elite prospects, identify some diamonds in the rough, and perform the kinds of subtle roster tweaks that can make a big difference down the line.
  3. Other than the HR allowed Bundy has been perfect and pitch efficient, too.
  4. Important Notes *FG main WAR for pitchers is based on FIP with INF flies counted as SO.... Also, https://library.fangraphs.com/war/limitations-war/
  5. So, strike outs are meaningless? Got it.
  6. Lol, ok. Well, I’m so relieved I have your expertise.
  7. Alvarez has been consistently productive for a good team. If he wasn’t they’d likely have other options. Means had a stretch of forgettable games after the break and the defense or the bullpen had little to do with it. But, I’m I believer in WAR. Oh, btw Fangraphs has it 4 to 3.1 for Alvarez.
  8. Where’s the, “Trash Chris Davis With Impunity” thread? It’s a joke!
  9. Unimpressive right up until the 4th and 5th innings when he struck out the side twice.
  10. Gausman often pitches like he already has that.
  11. Gausman gets a start for the Reds tomorrow.
  12. Well, got back on track tonight. That’s a good sign for the Astros heading into the playoffs. Picked a guy off 1B, too. Remember that move to 1B? Nasty.
  13. Surprised at Piazza being on this list. Great offensive catcher, but his defense was regularly knocked as below average.
  14. How can they be expected to tank properly if Davis doesn’t play?
  15. Wade Miley starts today for the ‘Stros. After pitching solidly for most of the year his last two starts have been disasters, his ERA going from 3.06 to 3.74 and a cumulative line of .1 IP 12R 12H 0 SO 1BB. Yuck
  16. Let’s see….where have I heard that before?
  17. What! No Davis again??? I want my freakin money’s worth, yo.
  18. Hasn’t missed a beat since coming back, 4-5 with two RBI last night.
  19. How come Williams gets the start vs a lefty as opposed to Stewart?
  20. I hear ya. I went to a BWW today and it’s nearly impossible to get a baseball game on tv during Football Sunday.
