mtutiger Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Mentioned in the other thread, but today is the day the Astros get their rings... one imagines they will be fired up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theroundsquare Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) Perhaps they'll feel complacent. Or the rings will weigh down their hands and make their swings slower. Call me an armchair body language expert, but I thought everything about Wingenter said "nervous" last night. He didn't seem that way on Monday. Maybe being out there for the ninth felt different to him? I guess we probably won't see him today anyway as he's pitched two consecutive days.

Cabrera makes a lot of sense, the general consensus is that he'd average a game a week, and he had his game last night. Baez has been scuffling so an off day makes sense. As for Schoop, sooner or later he's gonna be gone. The real question is whether they pull the trigger when Tyler Nevin is ready to come up or whether it happens afterward.

Dtrain72 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) It's cool that our #1 "ace" pitcher would be a #3 - 4 on most MLB teams Edited April 5, 2023 by Dtrain72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdog Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Harris and Hinch have a lot of faith in McKinstry. I guess they don't have other options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdog Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 That run is a result of improved baserunning. No hard contact from either McKinstry or Maton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allows 5.8 hits per 9. K's 11.15 per 9. WHIP of 1.05. Harris... you better be able to find guys like this. Isn't this what you meant by "controlling the strike zone"? I want one. Or two, or three...

Like I said earlier...ERod is a #3-4 rotation guy. Hopefully Harris is good at his job, along with hopefully one of, if not both, Mize/Skuval becoming a #1 and/or even 2 guy in the rotation.
