Monday is turning into a great day for prospect debuts, but this one is the most great.
Michael Conforto returns to New York, Justin Smoak stays in Toronto, and Yuliesky Gurriel might be an odd fit in Houston.
Notable starts this week from Stephen Strasburg, Dallas Keuchel and Anthony DeSclafani
Early struggles gave way to a very hot stretch and now the Astros are serious contenders again.
Beltran continues his reboot, the Astros are bona fide hot, and Andrelton Simmons makes a play.
A year ago today, Francisco Lindor was recalled. Since (roughly) that day, the position has gone from a dead spot to historically great.
Which offensive stat is most important to a hitter’s value? Not the one you may think.
Is anybody doing anything interesting, or are we all just waiting for the apocalypse?
Matt Albers delivers the big double. Meanwhile… the rest of baseball stops what it’s doing to consider Matt Albers delivering the big double.
The Mets erstwhile ace gets back on track, the Braves are on a bona fide not-cold streak, and Wood beats Wood.
The Astros strike out a slew to set one record, Fernandez whiffs a bunch to tie a franchise mark, and Jackie Bradley is back to being a regular guy.
Atlana has odd timing in firing Fredi Gonzalez, Francisco Cervelli shows how much he loves Pittsburgh, and Tony Kemp arrives in Houston.
So Strasburg is off the market. A couple of the best framers in baseball aren’t, and they’re not looking for seven years, either.
20 Ks, y’all, 20 Ks. Also: Good for the Astros, Good for the Giants, Good for the Mariners.
Is the #process going to suffer the same fate as every other broadly embraced tactic?
