I think health is so important. It’s been ignored as this Astros team has been ~90 win team the last couple years just how snakebit we have been from a health perspective. Fuck gamblers fallacy- we gonna be healthy now because we haven’t been the last two years. Science! 

Have we been snakebit any worse than an average team?

I’m going to try to apply this logic with my insurance company - “sure my wife rear-ended someone each of the last two years, so you should drop my 2025 rates because because there’s no way it’ll happen again.”

Exactly.

Javier, Garcia, LMJ, Urquidy, France, JV all missed basically the majority of at least one year of not 2 in the last 2 years. I would say having 6 of the top 10 guys on your organization chart as of 2023 have season/career ending injuries go down is much worse than average injury luck but maybe not. 
it’s worse than we’ve ever had happen in a 2 year period that I’ve been following the Astros for, I think.

That’s fair.

but maybe the two of us are in our own class

They for sure are.  I’d argue harder hit than us even. Nobody pays attention because both teams chug along and make the playoffs. We aren’t uniquely hard hit but way worse than average is suspect.

What if I told you that that injuries to (1) a guy who has thrown more than 128 innings exactly once in his 10-year career and (2) a guy north of 40 years old should have been considered neither surprising nor particularly “unlucky”?

You seem like a real good time. It doesn’t change the fact that they still were injured and would be top of the rotation if they were healthy. Verlander also pitched 175 and 162 innings the previous two years

I don’t consider the LmJ injury unlucky to your point. JV could go either way as absent TJ which he was fully and CY young caliber recovered from he’d always been a workhorse. Call it 4.5 out of 6 that wouldn’t be considered to be expected.

1-2-3 1st inning for Arighetti against the yanquis including a backwards k of Judge rung up by the lady ump.  We're on space city phone home today.
