THSfanatic Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Yup Whitley is right up there as the biggest let downs in Astros history. From the #2 MLB overall prospect to a longshot to ever reach the majors. What a letdown. Just 2 years ago him & Tucker were in the top 10 prospects.

topher805 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Here is a sliver of hope...Astros ink Lance McCullers to a 5-year, $85 million extension to keep him in Houston... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild74 Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 Zack looked really good last night and the Astros came out swinging. Had a couple of errors on the infield one by Yuli that cost us a run. Bullpen didn't look bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild74 Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 Astros totally dominated the A's and their booing fans. Pitching, hitting and fielding for the most part was outstanding, a very good start to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THSfanatic Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 This was a great start. A statement series sweep against the team that won the division and ate their lunch last year. Get at least 1 win vs the Angels and it will be a fantastic kick off to the division race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 My fantasy baseball team is liking the start Tucker, Bregman and Correa were having. If the Javier kid can come around watch out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sold on Tucker yet, he leads with three HR but has been slow on base hits only batting .192 and defense is a little shaky, I don't know much about the Javier kid I hope he is a good one.

Wild74 Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 What started off as a promising start has turned back to the grapefruit league start. Bad combination no hitting and bad starting pitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THSfanatic Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Safety protocols have gutted the Astros so I'm reserving my outlook. But one thing I am 99% sure of is Straw is a liability offensively and defensively. He is fast but has none of the defensive instincts Marisnick had. The sooner ANYBODY is put in CF the better off we will be. And I never understood why the team supposedly missed RP Joe Smith last year and why anybody thought he would be a big boost this year out of the pen. A floating fastball thrown from a sidearm angle is just as easy to hit as a floating fastball thrown overhand. He is useless for anything except mop-up duty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is useless for anything except mop-up duty After teasing us with a quick start the Astros have settled into last place with their division leading payroll. Tucker continues to stink at the plate, and I agree Straw cannot hit and if you can't get on base your speed is useless. Outside of Brantley and Yuli nobody is hitting, Maldonado I don't think has had but two hits all year checking in at a .088 average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THSfanatic Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Astros have battled back to just 0.5 game behind the A's with a 3 game series coming up. The A's have had a distinct advantage in home games. Gotta get 1 out of 3......really need 2 out of 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are having a good run right now, Tucker is starting to hit a little better and Alvarez is hitting for a good average with his long ball not quite there yet. Yuli is driving in runs and hitting for a good average with Altuve and Alex doing ok. Correa needs to pick it up if he wants that big contract. Pitching is holding together and the Stros are scoring well and that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTV1 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I just found out today that they Astros have hired Reggie Jackson as a special adviser. That will make rooting for the Astros even better for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
