Two in a row when I don't watch. I guess I'm not watching tomorrow either. Spaghetti will need all the help he can get.

Don't let the ease of winning the Boot every year distract us from it being time for Joey L to come up

So as bad as we have played and as hard of a schedule as we have had, we are 2.5 games out of first place in the division ... the exact same distance out of first place we were last season on September 27th!

Hector came on in the 8th to hold a one-run lead for the Cubs in Seattle and has walked the first two.

And with 4/5 starting pitchers out. Split Braves series and we're back baby!

Walked the bases loaded and then got the GIDP to escape. Classic.

Did he get in the players face after he got out of it?

Loperfido was working out at first base earlier today in Houston, not sure if that's been reported. He's not called up yet obviously but nice that Sugarland is so close he can work out at the Juice Box.

Tucker, Altuve, and JA have been excellent at the plate thus far, with Altuve leading in WAR of the three.

DWar is a bit of an art, but somewhat hilariously Altuve must have a -.1 and Alvarez a +.3 on baseball-reference since their overall bWar numbers are 1.3 and 1.2 respectively, while the offensive numbers are 1.4 for Altuve and .9 for Alvarez. I assume base running is in the offensive war numbers.

Jordan might have the best dWar on the team, on baseball-reference at least.

Edit - he does along with Bregman for position players.

I'll never forget Lidge walking out to a similar graphic with Drowning Pool singing "Here comes the pain", only to get shelled for like 3 runs.
"H-A: In return for the flattery, can you reduce the size of your signature? It's the only part of your posts that don't add value. In its' place, just put "I'm an investing savant, and make no apologies for it", as oldarmy1 would do."

Very fair article. The leadership portion is especially true- and I believe I stated that as a concern on here a few times.

Hopefully this will serve as the athletic equivalent of the chronicle tombstone and we will go on a tear. You are right though, he makes valid points.

So we are missing leadership from guys like Maldy, Neris, and Donkey? I feel that guys like Bregs, Altuve, Tucker, and Yordan would be more than enough

This. We've had this core for a long time now, leadership should not be an issue.

Boils down to a bunch of stuff we already know + "they're 6-11 and have pitcher injuries" and suggesting the sum is a critical mass of "mini-dynasty" (lol) killing. I get why he has to sum it up for a national audience but it's not groundbreaking work. The fact he did it after this series win feels rushed to get it out before the record gets any better.

They could get shelled for three days by the Braves. They could score on Vines all night and steal one against Lopez or Fried because it's baseball. Then pitchers start coming back and the schedule lightens up. It's way too early for this, but after living in an AL run by the Astros for almost a decade, I get why the hope of freedom is being put into writing.
