Did one on how the bullpen got to Houston that I thought was interesting. did a deep dive on pitching today that will be up tomorrow. I had no agenda when I started writing it. Like the hitting, I’m concluding that what we are doing is sustainable and we aren’t getting lucky.

Most of the history of franchise you probably only rostered 9 or 10 pitchers, right? The fact that we have 7 out of 13 pitchers that are LH is pretty incredible.

5 pitchers- all left handed/ 4 of them with a sub 3 ERA is pretty incredible.

And the reverse jinx for the win there. I mean- a line drive- a roller that was a little unlucky on placement and an infield hit. Not horrible pitching to load the bases.

I mean- he saved a run with a really nice play. delayed a run anyway.

And here’s where it goes to shit. too bad we wasted Gordon’s best start of his career so far.

Astros going 2-2 in that series never having trailed or even been tied was pretty wild. we got our revenge for not sweeping them when it mattered.

Correa was the perfect candidate for 10/100 while he was in the minors. Alas.

Eh- he’s been pretty lucky but I think he’s leveled up from a 4 win guy to a 6 win guy. 5/105 seems pretty steep but I’d do it. He’s looking at about 30 in his last 2 arb years so that’s 3/75 for his FA years. That’s generational wealth for him and if he’s still good at the end of that contract he could probably get another 5/100. If not he’s really rich and that’s guaranteed.

We didn’t. Water is wet.

So- this is a pretty amazing number… the Astros are something like 15-24 when scoring 3 or fewer runs. that’s a 61 win pace. Most teams win at like a 30 game pace scoring 3 or less.

Not really. He might have the title but the M and M boys are in charge of everything pitching in the r tire organization down through the minor leagues. I’m not saying he’s not good (I have no idea if he is or not) but he’s a guy tasked with implementing not being in charge of big picture strategery.

2024-2025 Houston Rockets thread - Prepare for Liftoff 🚀 [Now Featuring Kevin Durant]
So I was joking about taking credit for the Durant to Rockets trade but I did talk to Ishbia about it and asked him if his picks back and salary cap matching would be something they would do. He said “fuck those picks I don’t want them back we are going to be good and they are going to suck”. Obviously he got this years pick back but that was already a known quantity. That’s his thought process- not saying he’s right.

2.5 years. Unless you are trading him like Tucker going into his walk year. Dana was never a dumbass, Espada is still a moron.

He didn’t get any more options or anything but he’s ok with being stashed in the minors unless and until we call him up.

Just so yall know I made this deal happen. I had 5 minutes with Ishbia last month and told him he needed to trade KD to the Rockets. Now, KD is with the Rockets. You are all welcome.

I believe that’s right. I’m allowed to enter early with mine- if you hit them from someone, probably?
