They have nowhere to go from here but up.

Very interesting because the plan worked. Did anyone notice what was mentioned during the broadcast about the analytics department relaying information to the coaching staff?  The Astros org

Congratulations to the Astros on making it to the WS, and thanks for knocking off the Yankees!

After starting the season at an awful 7-17, the Astros have gone a blistering 35-20 since then, vaulting themselves to a respectable 42-37 overall record.

Subsequently, they are currently sitting just half a game behind the Red Sox and the Blue Jays for the #1 Wildcard spot.

The Astros are 48-29 since that 7-17 start to the season.

That's .623 baseball over almost half a season (77 games.)

They could have had winning seasons by now without putting themselves through so much awful baseball. They need to win in the postseason for the strategy to pay off IMO. And that's where the fault lies in their logic -- once you get in, anyone can win.

Maybe, maybe not.

Overall, the Astros had 6 consecutive losing seasons between 2009 and 2014 before putting together back-to-back winners in 2015 and 2016.

The Orioles, the Pirates, and the Royals all went through consecutive season losing streaks of much longer than that before finally turning their franchises around.

I think that it's easy to say after the fact that they could have taken a more efficient route to putting a contender on the field.

Keuchel was cruising until the 5th inning, when the Yankees scored an unearned run when Keuchel's defense made TWO gaffes.

The first batter of the inning reached on an error. Then with 2 outs and the bases loaded, the Yankees scored a run on catcher's interference (Brian McCann's glove was touched by Jacoby Ellsbury's bat when he swung.

 

He pitched one additional shut inning in the 6th before departing.

17 out of the 18 outs that he recorded came via the Strikeout and the Groundout ........ 17 out of 18 !!! ) O.o

      Elias: Hyde will be back

      By Pickles · Posted

      I'm a big fan.  It doesn't mean I have sources in the clubhouse. Do we have any idea who her sources are?  Does she have any kind of track record of having reliable sources?

      Elias: Hyde will be back

      I don't know who this woman is and I don't do Twitter. And this is what I touched on in the other thread: I don't know what the best path forward is b/c I don't know exactly what the problem is. I don't think Hyde needs to go, but if this is true- and I have no idea if it is or not- he should be gone. The talk of veteran leaders brings questions.  What was insufficient of the leadership of Satandaner, Mullins, Burnes, and Kimbrel?

      Sig for me is notably rigorous trying to combat this.    I feel pretty sure he had a say in crafting his very geeky title, a reflection of his personal brand. We'll see how it goes here if it becomes recommending Adam Frazier and Kyle Gibson as correct for the roster once again.

      Elias: It's on me

      Again, I'm not sure what the point of contention is. They won 91 games and lost in the Wildcard round.  That puts them smack in the middle of what I forecast as their most likely outcome, though I did hope for more playoff success.  I'm not sure how that is proof I misevaluated anything. Further, again, lecturing me about the importance of depth, when I'm one of the biggest hoarders on this board, and you're one of the biggest opposite of that, is ironic to say the least.

      Aaron Judge whined about it so I’m a fan.  The older I get, the more I think people just exist to look for confirmation biases. In all avenues of life. Paul Simon wrote “a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.” I’m sure if we beat the Royals and advanced and Walltimore robbed three or four homers from the Royals, we’d be extolling its virtues and how great it is.    But that didn’t happen. If anything, there were a couple instances where, if anything, it worked against us.    So here we are.

      I mean I wouldn’t be concerned about her opinions on which FA to sign or which players are best. But, she’s definitely a big fan and is just passing off info given to her. If it didn’t track into some other things that make sense, I wouldn’t pay it much mind. Of course, someone with an agenda could’ve just told her those things to spread rumors. Maybe Rick Dempsey haha.

      Do you think any team is too stupid to account for home park dimensions when evaluating pitchers?
