They're gonna have to lengthen the pitch clock or come up with some kind of rule change. It clear the current situation isn't tenable for starting pitchers. It's not just happening to the Astros, though no one has it this bad. Most human beings just can't throw as hard as they can at the current rate pitchers are expected to.
It's the thing the good small programs do. You know the type of program that we pay to blast by 40 points in the beginning of the season and then they go on to win their conference.
Paredes could play 2nd or 1st and we would be back to having an elite infield defense that can also hit. It's not my money.
Edit: Correa's deal is front loaded and the last 2 years of it are 15 and 10 million.
We fuck up in evaluating the talent of highly ranked recruits, but we're going to nail it when it comes to unheralded players. That really instills confidence. I hope Venables has another mediocre season in him because this is going to fun to watch if they're not good again.
He's definitely been neutered. I imagine because they can't afford his buyout yet. I haven't seen anything to indicate Nagy is going to be a good gm though which is nice. There's a lot of ingredients for a real big mess simmering away in Norman right now. This season goes poorly and it's going to get ugly.
Pena and Correa on the same side of the infield, man I'd like to see that. So would the pitching staff. Not a knock on Paredes, as he's good in the field.
Williams supposedly came up with a fix for their overheating issues, but it hurts car performance. Sainz' car broke immediately on his first lap in FP1, so maybe the fix isn't working so great.
