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!

All that talk about Appel getting promoted?

The Astros could still end up signing first overall draft pick Brady Aiken, and ?the expectation from those close to the negotiation? is that the two sides will reach an agreement around the time of Jacob Nix?s grievance hearing, Fangraphs? Kiley McDaniel reports (Twitter links). The MLBPA filed the grievance on Nix?s behalf last month, and the hearing will reportedly be held during the offseason.

How are the Astros allowed to come to an agreement to sign Aiken? Under what loophole?

INVESTMENT CLUB

The Houston Astros aren't winning, but owner Jim Crane and G.M. Jeff Luhnow say that it's just a matter of time.

(By Molly Knight)

http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/9357636/houston-astros-hope-strong-farm-system-improve-club-espn-magazine

This thread was started in June of 2013.

As the 2014 season winds down, the Astros front office has to be at least modestly pleased, as the team has definitely shown some signs of improvement over the previous 3 seasons, all of which were WELL OVER 100 loss seasons for the team from southeast Texas.

I've stated before that in 2015, I suspect that the Mets will step up into contention next year with their young, talented, starting pitching staff (especially with Matt Harvey coming back to the team.)

Perhaps the Astros will follow the Mets in 2016.

And of course, watch out for the Cubs next year.

OK they just lost me.

Here I thought this was an analytics driven franchise.

TWO YEARS LATER:

The Astros are treading water early in the season (5-6.)

Dallas Keuchel and Collin McHugh have both gotten off to excellent starts early on.

Too early to tell. Chicago is 4-7, Cleveland is 4-7, and Seattle is 5-7. Only two teams in the AL are appreciably over .500 (Detroit and KC). Houston's actually in first place in the West at 6-6.

It probably won't last, but the Astros are in 1st place in the A.L. West after 15 games:

      2024 Ongoing Lineup Thread

      Can you imagine that same lineup but with Mayo, instead of Urias, at 3rd?  🙂

      Good summary. This would be my guess as well. Won't stop people from repeating proposals that make no sense and then getting mad when they don't happen.

      As poorly as we played...when he Yankees lose tonight....

      By Malike · Posted

      Toronto up 8-1, hate rooting for the Jays. They blew a 5 run lead last night and got destroyed. No matter the results, the Yankees pitching has regressed badly.

      Your logic totally eludes me.    He was excellent last year.  He has been excellent in May and June this year.   He’s not the same pitcher he was in 2022 and before with the Orioles.

      The end of the first half of the season also marks the end of the third 27-game segment.   Here's how our players have done in each segment:  [Note: I am editing this to get the columns lined up right, so come back later if this looks funky] Name PA rWAR Rdrs OPS fWAR OAA wOBA xwOBA Rutschman 119 1.2 2 0.816 0.9 1.2 0.361 0.383 226 2.0 2 0.815 1.7 1.2 0.353 0.343 348 3.4 5 0.830 2.9 6 0.359 0.346 Mountcastle 103 1.1 1 0.906 0.6 -3 0.393 0.395 205 1.3 3 0.788 0.8 -2 0.342 0.342 319 1.9 4 0.786 1.1 -5 0.339 0.351 Henderson 124 1.8 0 0.959 1.9 2 0.408 0.389 243 3.7 5 0.938 3.3 3 0.399 0.390 367 6.0 5 1.002 6.0 7 0.428 0.398 Westburg 101 1.4 1 0.903 1.3 1 0.394 0.422 209 2.3 2 0.859 2.2 4 0.373 0.374 312 3.0 4 0.853 2.6 5 0.364 0.362 Cowser 80 1.0 0 1.037 1.4 3 0.439 0.390 177 0.9 1 0.772 1.7 6 0.337 0.365 253 1.3 1 0.768 2.2 6 0.332 0.362 Mullins 100 0.7 1 0.717 0.7 2 0.311 0.304 173 0.1 -1 0.564 -0.1 1 0.249 0.244 250 1.1 1 0.664 0.8 3 0.288 0.269 Santander 113 0.3 0 0.728 0.3 1 0.319 0.302 209 0.6 1 0.706 0.4 0 0.311 0.293 322 1.4 -2 0.796 1.4 -2 0.341 0.322 O'Hearn 71 0.7 0 0.929 0.7 0 0.403 0.502 154 1.1 1 0.802 0.9 2 0.347 0.398 240 1.7 1 0.807 1.4 1 0.349 0.382 Hays 50 -0.8 -1 0.311 -0.7 -1 0.149 0.286 80 -0.9 -3 0.430 -0.7 -1 0.194 0.266 132 0.0 -2 0.686 0.1 -2 0.300 0.312 Urias 44 -0.1 0 0.484 -0.3 -1 0.215 0.214 68 0.3 1 0.608 0.0 -1 0.272 0.295 131 0.3 1 0.649 0.9 -3 0.286 0.297 McCann 43 0.0 -1 0.651 0.0 -0.3 0.284 0.323 83 -0.3 -2 0.501 -0.4 -0.9 0.217 0.289 119 -0.3 -2 0.551 -0.3 0.3 0.240 0.301 Mateo 39 0.3 0 0.733 0.3 -1 0.328 0.292 119 1.3 5 0.734 1.0 1 0.317 0.305 169 1.3 2 0.729 1.0 0 0.311 0.286 Holliday 36 -0.5 -1 0.170 -0.3 3 0.089 0.155 36 -0.5 -1 0.170 -0.3 3 0.089 0.155 36 -0.5 -1 0.170 -0.3 3 0.089 0.155 Kjerstad 5 -0.1 0 0.000 -0.1 0 0.000 0.057 17 0.0 1 0.437 -0.1 0 0.143 0.229 29 0.3 1 0.745 0.1 0 0.334 0.269 Stowers (2) 19 0.1 -1 0.924 0.1 0 0.388 0.448 36 0.1 0 0.763 0.1 1 0.321 0.370

      Good heavens, why didn’t you understand that? When he was with us before he was terrible.you can see his walk rate was never good with us. I was overjoyed when we traded him to the Marlins, and except for last year,  he was a headache with them too.  So I am concerned, and with reason, that if we buy him back, he will again be bad with us, so no thanks.
