@jjcoop36
By bWAR: Astros lead the league in SS WAR (1.2). Carlos Correa has 1.0 of that 1.2....in 8 games.

btw Valbuena has 16 HR with a .184 BA

has anyone ever hit 30 driving on the interstate?

They have a prospect named "Brock Dykxhoorn."

Preston M. Tucker (Bamm-Bamm) impresses me every time I see him (other than vs lefties but that's understandable)

I may have been born and raised in LA but it sure feel awesome to sweep the shit out of the Angels!

I'm a little slow--just cluing into Correa the past couple of days (James mentioned him yesterday in a post on "The Best Young Player in Baseball"--which is not about Correa, but rather a system for identifying who it is at any given time).

slothroprhymes, Wednesday, 16 September 2015 03:11 (ten years ago)

well didnt see that sweep coming

HOU still has series at home vs LAA and TEX, finish in Seattle and Arizona, so they control their destiny.

Period when I liked Lance Berkman: 1999-2015. Fuck you, asshole.

skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 3 October 2015 11:22 (ten years ago)

Goldy may have just won this for AZ, but outcome is meaningless as long as Yankees lose, right?

skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 4 October 2015 21:56 (ten years ago)

ok, i've got it straight now -- HOU needs to win to host the game

skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 4 October 2015 22:09 (ten years ago)

Despite winning 17 of last 25 games, Astros have lost 1 1/2 games to the Rangers in the AL West.

2 HR IN 2 ABs FOR THE TUVESTER PUT HIM IN ALREADY

qualx, Sunday, 24 July 2016 18:59 (nine years ago)

Down six in the fifth, George ".429 Stolen Base Percentage" Springer attempted to steal second and...was thrown out.

Andy K, Sunday, 31 July 2016 21:09 (nine years ago)

Probably not as notable as the team being swept out of Detroit and losing last night's game despite having the opponent down to the last out, with none on base, down two, but...

Andy K, Sunday, 31 July 2016 21:11 (nine years ago)

alex bregman is 1/32, his only hit was vs mike pelfrey

johnny crunch, Thursday, 4 August 2016 12:29 (nine years ago)

carlos gomez dfa'd!

mookieproof, Wednesday, 10 August 2016 20:34 (nine years ago)

Altuve's hitting .432 on the road. I can't find any corroboration online, but the Jays broadcast flashed a graphic yesterday listing that as the second-highest seasonal figure ever, behind only Harry Heilmann in 1925 (.456).

(When I checked Heilmann's splits to locate the right season, noticed this: in 1923, the year he hit .403, he was .400 at home and .404 on the road.)
