Seriously, fuck that guy for so many reasons. I'm seriously starting to consider conspiracy theories about Seattle sucking Houston's dick.

I just think it's weird that we always face King Felix / iwakuma and the Astros barely ever do.

Hell of a job by the bullpen, btw.

And intentionally arrange their rotation that way. Did you see the play cano just booted? Just watch it and get back to me.

We were given free tickets to the last game of the year. I hope this is similar to the line-up I watch. I don't want any drama.

Newp. I want Hamels resting to pitch game 1.

We really can't complain. Oakland and Seattle didn't get swept. That's all we could hope for. Houston will lose at least once in Arizona.

The fact that Houston finishes up the season playing Arizona is just a bit unstable to me.

They may be without Gattis. They've got to decide whether to stick him in LF. Yes the ball flies there, but that's a big outfield to cover.

Ask BA: Jays Go All-In; Is Lewis Brinson's Breakout For Real? - BaseballAmerica.com

So Brinson hit in a place that’s great to hit. But there’s more to Brinson’s development than that. Over the past three years he’s steadily put together better and better at-bats. Where he once simply assumed that every pitch was going to be a fastball and swung accordingly, he now tracks breaking balls. Once a man of a thousand batting stances (including a baffling crouch that cut off much of his athleticism), Brinson now has a simpler setup with high-set hands, a smaller, simpler toe tap timing mechanism and a swing that better allows his hips and lower-half to get involved. His high-set hands gives him a long way for the bat to travel to the strike zone, but Brinson’s bat speed allows him to get away with it most of the time.


What’s impressive is we still haven’t seen all of what Brinson can do. He’s battled leg injuries in each of the past two seasons with a quad injury hindering him in 2014 and a hamstring injury costing him time in 2015. Defensively he could improve on his routes and reads in center but he’s already a solid center fielder who could end up being well above-average.


Brinson has always had bat speed and power. Now that he’s doing a better job of recognizing pitches, he’s adding a developing hit tool to the power he’s always had. As a righthanded hitting center fielder with speed and power, Brinson is one of the better prospects in baseball. He’s not a .600 slugger in the big leagues, but he can help a big league club in the future in a lot of different ways.

How this team has won 86 games is beyond me...but I pray they can find a way to win two more.
