2022 Houston Astros Thread

for those scoring at home, the astros are 75-41 with 46 games remaining.

to get to 100 wins, we'd have to go 25-21.  to break our all-time win record (107) we'd have to go 33-13.

if we got to 100 wins, we'd have done it 4x in the past 5 (eligible) seasons.  the 5th year (2021) we only won 95.

the covid season screws things up, but excluding 2020, i would love to see the teams that have put up similar 5 year win totals.

currently, the cumulative record (excluding 2020) is 481-283.  19 more wins to get to 500 over a 5 year span.  that's crazy.  200 games over .500 over 5 years is also crazy.

KEN GILES RP, MLB

According to Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet, the Blue Jays are among the teams showing interest in right-hander Ken Giles.

Giles elected free agency on Sunday after refusing his outright assignment to Triple-A Tacoma. Giles spent two and a half seasons with the Jays from 2018-2020 before signing with the Mariners, so there's already a strong familiarity on both sides there. Expect him to sign somewhere within the next couple of days.

release all the gifs!

There's always going to lead on Mondays in the summer with their Sunday Night Baseball Game. It's the best historic rivalry in baseball to be sure, but the Sox are in last place in their division. They deserve zero media attention right now.

By my count we have six starting pitchers.  Only four of those will be on the playoff roster, right? Or would we carry a starting pitcher to come out of the bullpen?  Maybe Javier would come out of the pen and Garcia would be the odd man out if the playoffs started today, right?

We would carry all 6 starters with 2 in the pen imo.

For sure, no doubt about it. Those guys are all good enough that you want them on the roster.  ALDS the roster should only be 12 pitchers historically.

IMO it will be

Locks:

JV/Framber/LMJ/Javier

Presley/Montero/Neris/Stanek/Urquidy/Garcia/Abreu

Borderline

Lefty specialist:  Smith or Maton (the guy they seem to like best as a righty on lefty guy if Smith can't get unfucked.  

 

I hold out hope that neither of those guys make the post season roster and it's Brown instead after he comes up and shoves it up the leagues ass in September as a multi inning weapon and a power arm/strikeout guy, but don't know if that's got a chance at reality or merely my wishful thinking fever drea.

They should interview Espada asap and offer 

WTF?  
 

With regard to the playoff schedule, you can pretty much take it to the bank that our games will be early ones on October 11 & 12, especially if the LAD, NYY and NYM are the other home teams.

They need to fire the GM tying up half a billion on 2 players that play the same position was like Sacramento Kings level stupid.

Correct

We wouldn't play the 12th.

13th would only be AL so even if we are early it should be late afternoon

For the 11th...yeah we will be one of the first two games to start

This is odd considering they are on pace to win what everyone expected, 72 games. Not sure why they think Woodward is the problem here and not sure who could be more successful with that roster. 

6-24 in 1 run games. Managers do matter.
