Stacking their lineups? With what, the '27 Yankees??? The entire damn batting order rode him like a hobby horse for a month straight. Stacking a lineup... come on.

I get protecting your player and all, but that's crazy talk.
To be fair he usually got pulled before he got to face the 9 hitter... in the first inning!

RISP

League Avg

.788

Astros
.268
.353
.503
.855


Being barely above league avg ain't good. Hitting with RISP has been our weakness
Barely above?

67 points in the OPS is barely above?

There is no doubt in my mind that AggieEE was yelling for springer to be dropped in the lineup for World Series in 2017

Let it go. He's stuck on it

And as soon as a runner doesn't score from scoring position he'll come on here with the 'I told y'all we're awful with RISP' post.

I don't get too concerned about any particular player having a bad stretch (unless you're Reddout with a year long slump).

I hope he kills it this year though.

Being "barely" above average isn't bad either especially when you consider the 'Stros have the highest BA & OBP in MLB. In other words being "barely" above average in RISP combined with more opportunities is usually pretty good.

Of course I remember that. Very big hit. But I also remember 5/49 against the Yankees and Dodgers. He wasn't a very productive player in the 2017 playoffs. Hopefully he will be this year.

That's definitely my upset pick, and nothing would make me happier than seeing the Brewers sneak into the World Series; they are by far the weakest in the field.

That being said, the Astros and Dodgers are historically good, and a 2017 rematch should make for an epic World Series.

And you've got to start reading the posts before your before you repeat information.


I posted a few seconds after you did. Your post wasn't up when I started writing. It's not like you invented the wheel with that info and I needed it to make my point, which is EE posts a lot of stuff that contradicts the facts.

Anyway God forbid someone post redundant information on this forum. Nice job policing that.

How good are the Astros?
Ben Lindbergh said:


But wins and losses don't always accurately reflect a team's true performance. Baseball Prospectus's archive of third-order records extends back to 1950, encompassing 70 seasons and 1,742 teams...The Astros and Dodgers rank first and third all time, respectively, in third-order winning percentage.

Reddick batted .375 in the ALDS in 2017.

In the 2017 ALCS and WS the Astros batted .187 and .230 as a team respectively. It's not like the team was a bastion of production.

I was wondering what Cletus McLame has been up to lately. Maybe with all those sour grapes he can open up a whinery in Waco with Chip and Joanne.

Despite our disagreement on whether or not Josh Reddick was good in the 2017 playoffs, we can agree that we both hope he succeeds this year. If he stays focused on using all fields, slapping singles and turning the lineup over in the 9 hole, he'll be alright. If he goes back to "swing for the upper deck Reddick" mode like he does from time to time, he might be on the bench after a few games.

Jim Crane definitely tanked, he had zero hits on the whole season

I guess McLame forgot the part where the team was 56-106 during his last season as owner...but sure it was Crane that tanked it.

No disagreement here. I am saying the whole team outside of 2-3 guys each series was pretty stank-o-rific.

Maybe if Uncle Drayton didn't leave the team bereft of MLB ready talent maybe Crane would have had more options in building a quality ball-club.

Screw Drayton. He was terrible. Dude before him was worse. What was his name, mcmullen?
McInnis

Yes, McMullen ran off Nolan Ryan. He was worse. Drayton started out OK. He signed Swindell and Draback to big contracts which both backfired. But his comments about A&M leaving the BDF soured me on him forever.

I wonder if they got the line wrong and took it down

Bregman trout not available

But that line for CyYoung is correct
