They've got some revenge coming their way after last weekend and the series in San Diego last year.Beat40 said:
Man, the Padres series sucks in that we couldn't win the series with the chances we had, but a split a against the Dodgers and a series win against the Red Sox is really nice!

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Dusty is gonna give Bregman the day off tomorrow. I don't think he's had a day off in a while, can slot in Diaz for him.

Best option by a very large Grand Canyon sized margin is pitching now. This is all his.
Oh ya no doubt. Just trying to give some "live" updates. Great series win(shows how much I pay attention)

Does she look a little like Kayce?
That girl isn't great above the neck but come on don't insult her like that
4th win I think when scoring fewer than 4 runs. Great game!
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
They'd expect Diaz. Garcia it is. /DustyEastCoastAgNc said:

Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.
One of the most boring games I've been to in my life. But I'll take a boring win over an exciting loss any day. Good night at the ballpark

Yeah definitely a pitchers duel. Which is crazy given how the first inning went for both teams. Thought I'd be there all night at the rate they were going. Seeing Framber work tonight was awesome. And Correa making difficult plays look routine is always good to see

The Red Sox came into this series with the #Astros sporting a team 110 wRC+. After 3 games it has dropped to 106.

For you guys that missed it, that was Mr. Myles Straw with the GWRBI last night.

I’m 5’4” and don’t exercise but I’m pretty sure the Rays could turn even me into an extremely high strikeout type relief pitcher who throws in the mid-90s with wacky movement.

Still don't understand how they do it

I'm happy to see him playing a little better recently but he still hasn't eclipsed the .600 OPS mark. His days as starter have to be numbered.
Y'all may surprised to learn that Straw has more RBI than Brantley.
However, Chas has more than both of them ( and a .710 OPS)

Brantley OPS+ 123

They aren't really in the same stratosphere

I don't know why but It feels like Brantley has been out a lot longer than he actually has been.
And he was listed as having tired legs from this craptastic fake turf in Arlington. Something tells me there is more to the story.
Speaking of Straw, he's had 202 plate appearances, 0 HR, and 1 barrel.
Going back to 2010, there have only been 5 seasons where someone has had a lower SLG%. (Qualified)
2020 Nicky Lopez .266
2010 Cesar Izturis .268
2021 Elvis Andrus .269 - future HOFer per Arlington fans
2021 Jackie Bradley Jr .269 - His defense is totally worth it and his ceiling is high - Farmer1906
2021 Kevin Newman .269
2021 Myles Straw .278
The next lowest Astro on the list is 2014 Matt Dominguez .330.

I feel like even I could run into one in 200 PAs.

...and speaking of barrels, Bregman does not appear to be seeing the ball, or his timing is off. Only 3% of his balls have been barreled?

He's batting while drunk on tequila salsa
He's never really been a masher. He doesn't have crazy hard hit and high barrels like most of the top-tier guys. His "down" #s are a combination of the balls reducing HRs and him hitting the ball on the ground too much.redline248 said:

The year he hit 45 HRs, he was only expected to hit 31.7 based on his quality of contact. 23 of the 45 were "doubters" meaning they would have gone out in 1 to 7 stadiums. Basically, he was abusing the Crawford boxes.
As for the groundballs, he went from 31.7% in 2019 to 33.6% to 46.8%. That's not going to help his power #s. Most of the reduction is coming from his line drives.
A few other random notes, he's swinging at first pitches more and swinging more in general. Now, he's not chasing, but just being more aggressive on pitches in the zone. It's all relative though. He's still far from a free swinger.
Been out of the thread and not watching every night a bit lately as I am in the middle of changing jobs, but Astros seem to be playing good ball lately. Going for the sweep today!
