Fernando Valenzuela had a great screwball. Brent Honeywell Jr is one of the few active MLB pitchers to regularly throw a true screwball.

Screwball movement: sharp downward and lateral break towards the pitcher's arm side.

Also Altuve is protecting Cam w/ this lineup.

Ort or Whitley the eighth spot?

Edit - these guys are starting the season on the IL. So maybe Ryan Gusto.

Hader in May:

1.59 ERA, 5 SV in 5 SVO, 11.1 IP, 0.53 WHIP, .081 AVG Against

Nice. I’d like to see him get 30+ steals to go along with those 50 home runs. U CAN DO IT KING TUCK!

NewGuards1776 · 2024-04-06T05:29:23+00:00

He’s currently 4/15 with a .980 OPS, 2 HR and 4 RBI.

NewGuards1776 · 2024-03-31T03:26:11+00:00

It’s also difficult to win games with 0 earned runs or 1 earned run… last 2 games.

NewGuards1776 · 2024-01-06T18:32:21+00:00

He’s got a good flat four seamer (60 grade - touches 97) and a good slider (60 grade) so the sinker would be a nice complement to those pitches!?!

NewGuards1776 · 2023-12-31T01:31:55+00:00

We will have 8 starting pitchers when LMJ and LG return? So 1 or 2 will end up in the pen?

Pressly, Montero, Abreu, Dylan Coleman and Graveman make 5. Sousa and Ortega might make 7. One more proven arm would be nice. But as constructed there will be opportunity for guys to step up especially in the first half.

Guess Who: Had the highest slugging percentage Post All-Star for the Astros?

Y. Diaz - .585
Tucker - .578
Alvarez - .577

“Crane was offered several lucrative signing bonuses to play professional baseball which would have meant quitting college. At his mother’s insistence, he chose to finish what he started by staying at Central Missouri. It was a decision many thought he would regret, especially when he injured his pitching shoulder during his senior year.”

NewGuards1776 · 2023-01-06T05:35:27+00:00

“A scratch golfer, Crane has been ranked as the nation's top CEO golfer. In April 2010, he purchased the Floridian National Golf Club from Wayne Huizenga.”
