He never looked right in the WBC

There you go TA. Way to go with that pitch.

Elvis Andrus homer coming

Well you know Grandal would just call all fastballs if it was all up to him.

Yeah Framber gets grounders from everyone. I'd at least wait a few weeks before judging the new hitting coaches.

That's on purpose. They did this s%*# in the playoffs too.

Good AB from Benintendi. He actually worked the count.

Even Clemens knows the Astros wet the field to get slower grounders.

That's a good way to describe Astros baseball. Cold and corporate.

How does the pitcher pitch com work? Is there a screen on the catcher pitch com telling them what the pitch is? It can't really be audio based since the hitter can hear it.

Nasty stuff from Dylan

Grandal is gonna get run on so much this year.

Nice fastball to get Bregman

30 ft/s for Robert down the line. That's well above what he averaged last year, but he also didn't try running all that hard last year.

Good lord that got called a strike?

Good thing he didn't get hurt running to 1st.

It's so true though. Nobody grounded out to 2nd better than Leury.

Fun fact: FanGraphs had their rotation ranked over the Astros and White Sox. It was such a bad projection that the writer who was doing the write up was like why are our projections like this?

If only we had Arsenal's depth. We'd need some major contributions from guys we do not expect it from if we end up with Arsenal's injury luck this year. They lost Gabriel Jesus and it didn't really hurt their results. Can we do the same if we lose a top 3 position player or pitcher for an extended period of time?

Stroman is way better than Clevinger.

Off Fulmer too, so it's not exactly off a nobody.

He's got the same problem as Beckham. Their swings always looked similar to me and I think the hitch in the swing basically made it impossible for them to catch up with high fastballs. Hiura, like Beckham, came out of the gates on fire. Then the league caught up and they could never adjust.

lmao, wow so I guess Leury's staying on the team after all?

Say what you want about the Bulls this year, but Pat Bev has made the team entertaining.

Thank the baseball gods
