2018 Houston Astros Season Thread

Would have liked to have seen Marisnick in today instead of Kemp. He gets a good day at the plate last night and Hinch sits him the next day. Screw the book sometime. Let him see if he can get hot and build on something. Marwins ass should be sitting. But I know without Correa it’s problematic.

So many guys throw mid-90s or better now. You'd think a guy who's decidedly slower but "crafty" would mess up a lot of swings. But maybe the "crafty" part is now gone.

If you don't go up and down,  no homo, these days with launch angles and such, you're gonna run into problems unless you have stupid stuff. DK doesn't.

Talking out loud, I wonder how someone like maddux would do today

I was a hardcore Astros fan here in Atlanta for that whole huge Braves run. I got so sick of watching Glavine get strike calls on pitches a RH hitter couldn't reach with a fly rod. Maddux was a far better pitcher, though he also got the benefit of many marginal strike calls.
