There's a lot of ways I saw this season going, but our pitching staff getting BETTER without Strom was not one of them.

It's too early to know, but I wonder if Strom was overrated

I don’t know about the Diamondbacks off-season changes to their staff but their team ERA has gone from 5.11 to 3.87. Of course ours has gone from 3.86 to 2.84 so who knows.

No way.  Look at the diamond backs improvement. Strom built the entire infrastructure, trained the guys to take over for him, then said that they were ready for the job, were going to kill it, and then they did.  That's awesome work by him.  If anything he's underrated.  Plenty of guys can be good themselves, but to build an entire system is awesome.


Thats my take anyway. Could be wrong.

both teams have improved. Astros scouting / drafting / signing of players has been elite level.

can we stop talking like Strom invented baseball and is responsible for everything in Astros baseball ?

he didn’t improve the concessions, total cluster fuck 

He was a great pitching coach, had a ton of success here.

I'm over the CityConnect pajamas.  The caps are cool but the rest sucks.

100 percent this. I could even deal with the jersey but the same color pants are horrible. White or gray pants would have been better. That solid blue is Puke City not Space City.
