Thanks for giving us Ruiz and Folty for Evan fuging Gattis :)

 

The Astros have done some of this winning without their big bats at all until yesterday with the Caveman had 4 RBIs

 

Gattis, Springer and Carter have not existed thus far this year.  Get them all going and......

Of course the Astros have a good, young team with a small. payroll.

They've been the doormat of the MLB for a decade. They've collected prized high pick prospects for years and now they're all at the major league level on their rookie contracts. They're young and exciting and will win some games and show tons of potential.

Then in 2-4 more years they'll reject small arbitration deals from Houston and cash in as members of the Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox, etc.

 

Oh I know.  Small window for Houston until the vultures come in and pick em clean again.

 

They seem like a farm team for the rest of the league

Lance McCullers made his first start this week, Correa coming soon.

 

Even though they have the best record in the AL and only a half game behind the Cards for best record overall, I am not trusting of their closer.

 

Oh well, afternoon televised game today, so will tape it.

      It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that.  On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting).  The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt.

      That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering.  While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive.  Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however.  The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?
