Any news on McCullers after his first rehab start? I've seen nothing but his stat line


I watched his bullpen from row 1 of the stands

He was a dream, fantastic flow

He said his biggest takeaway was the velo getting back to where it needs to be and that he feels good

Lowest OPS of any park in which he's played over 5 games at .757 and a .206 average in 64 career games. 11 homers, though
I wonder how many top tier AL hitters have their worst career OPS at MMP
our old friend Kyle Seager had an .851 career OPS at MMP in over 300 at-bats. He enjoyed the stadium and Astros pitching.

on the flipside...he only had a .632 OPS at Angels Stadium in Anaheim. Could not hit Angels pitching. Strange

Please be Montas, he's beatable in the postseason. According to this: https://www.statmuse.com/mlb/ask/frankie-montas-career-postseason-stats

9.53 ERA in the postseason.

Edit: that mad dog guy doesn't know a thing. He's gone the way of first take...hot takes for days. Throw crap at the wall and see what sticks.

If I'm Trout, I wouldn't be in any rush to return. He needs to sit out the rest of the year, get healthy, and demand a trade.
He actually has a no-trade clause. If the Angels want to blow it up, then they have to have him agree to any deal. That could limit suiters for him.


Theoretically (because no way the Angels would trade Trout to us), who would you give up a bigger package for? Soto or Trout? Keep in mind Trout is signed for longer and Soto will have to be reupped in 2.5 years or before. But you also are already on the hook for Trout's old years.

Trout can't hit in mmp, been awful here his whole career. Not sure I want to sign up for an expensive hitter who is going to suck in half his games, not to mention his injury issues that are only going to get worse over time.
Lowest OPS of any park in which he's played over 5 games at .757 and a .206 average in 64 career games. 11 homers, though
Trout is an old 30. Do not want.


Can see Trout pulling a Barry Sanders and retiring early because a few more $37 million salaries and what's the point?

Richard Bleier and Steven Okert are two decent lefties in that bullpen

Garrett Cooper. I said this a week ago. Not the pop of Bell but he's also not a rental.

Dusty would not have replaced Grienke with Harris.

How do his defensive stats compare to Yuli / Josh Bell?

He's also not quite the same player as Bell. I think that makes it a wash.

He's a ****ty OFer. Looks to be solid at first.

I wish he had a little more HR pop, but he hits for average, is okay at drawing walks, & hits the ball pretty hard. Way too many ground balls and is pretty slow.

Bell (as of last week) had already hit into 18 GIDP. That's 50% more than Bregman. He's not exactly a fly ball machine.

I don't think he is a big enough upgrade over yuli considering team chemistry to actually pull the trigger on

Considering we would have him for next year as well and that would essentially replace Yuli as a transition, I think its worth it.

Bell hits too many ground balls too.

Talking about all trade rumors... just talked Bell. There was talk a deal was really close to being done yesterday.

Astros are the main team in that. Mets on outside looking in.
