Coors is the last place you want Yordan playing in the field. It's huge!
.

Man, I wish he could play the field because Coors is definitely where I want him to pick the hitting back up after the layoff.

I'd rather have his bat in the lineup than Straw's defense

Move Tucker to CF for 2 games in Denver, Brantley to right and Alvarez to LF

or alternate Brantley and Yordan at left each game, McCormick at CF and Tucker at RF

Just put Yordan in LF and tell him to not ever move.

Straw can play left center and cover both. He doesn't catch balls hit to straight up CF anyways so WTF. He's fast enough he'll be there to play any ball hit to LF or CF off the wall. Same as if he plays just regular CF.

Interesting way to compare our pitching vs other staffs in the league.

Our guys have been equally bad. But overall, it looks like we're pretty average.

Let's check in on our defense.

2021


2020-21


What stands out to me is Correa. He was great in 2020 and suspect this year.

Straw has to step up if he is going to provide any value to this time.

Surprised by Yuli. They don't take into account his scoops.

Also gives me the sads to see George again.

Don't like it, his hitting is going to suck just like when he had that terrible mustache.

I remember Correa being kind of average - below average as a hitter last year in the regular season. Postseason is when he mashed

You're not wrong, but this is a defensive metric.

While I agree, the league just went over the top in holding them out over BS contact tracing rules when they were already vaccinated and tested negative.

Your first appearance back on social media shouldn't be sans-mask if you're primary goal is playing baseball again ASAP

No one ever said all 4 of them were vaccinated. It hasn't been released who is/isn't

So apparently most of our team has gotten one dose (some got the J&J before it got recalled)

According to rules .... allegedly.... if a player is fully vaccinated then they do not have to miss time due to contact tracing.

Our issue is most of the players have only gotten the first shot and to be "fully vaccinated" you need to be at least 14 days after your second dosage.

Seems like MLB realized they whiffed, so they're trying to make it up to us now. We'll take what we can get these days.

Don't listen to Dusty. Everything he's said about this has turned out to be opposite of what actually happens.

Either he does it on purpose or he has no clue what's going on. Either way I'd take his word on this with very large block of salt.

the Astros have not been a good regular season team under Dusty.

it feels like a situation where the sum-of-the-parts is greater than the whole
