Getting the 2 seed is important enough to not completely punt once every 5 games. From everything they've said (and done), they have no desire to go all out to get the highest spot possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that doesn't count anymore DK's demise is not on Hahn. DK has stopped believing in what he does and lost confidence. He should be no where near a playoff roster if he can't right it. I dont think he can at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He racked up games against the terrible AL Central. Now, he can't even do that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure you can trust him in the bullpen either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are also allergic to hit and run, putting runners in play. We have become the quintessential station to station team. Not so good with a high ground ball rate.

fathom Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Keuchel gave up 3 or more runs once last year in 11 starts. He's done it 15 times in 27 starts this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be completely wrong, but in that Astros book that came out, didn't they mention him as someone that would talk to their new pitchers about what they could do to "improve"? If I am wrong, I apologize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude shouldn't be on the postseason roster. But he was also integral in them reaching the playoffs last year and to deny that is just kind of revisionist history. Both things can be true. He can have a shitty season this year and also still have pitched really well last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am wrong, I apologize. It's pretty obvious they were one of the first teams to find the good sticky stuff for their guys. I remember teams leaking complaints to the media about pitchers they traded away losing a ton of spin after leaving and now we know why. But I think they were (and still are) doing things with pitch data, coaching, and player development that puts them ahead of many organizations in the game right now.

mmmmmbeeer Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Is Hernandez pitching that well or did the Sox come out expecting to lose due to DK starting? If the latter, it's time to give him the hook. The leaders in the clubhouse can answer that question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's hit the "rookie wall" I'd keep running Vaughn out there every day, but in the playoffs (as things stand right now) I'd rather see Sheets in the lineup vs RHP than him.
