March 28, 20187 yr Something I just realized, if we only have 25 posts per page here, this thread might get to 2000 pages long.

To be fair, it is a "weakness" compared to every other unit on the team (including dugout reporter)...World Champ problems

March 28, 20187 yr Also as we saw in the playoffs there is no such thing as a done deal closer anymore. Well not against us anyway.

March 28, 20187 yr Just cancelled a couple meetings to completely clear tomorrow afternoon. Hell yes.
March 28, 20187 yr From The Ringer: ”So the Astros bring back their Pretty Much the 1927 Yankees Offense, get a full season of Justin Verlander, and add former Pirates workhorse Gerrit Cole and veteran reliever Joe Smith, whose track record of excellent relief work stretches back more than a decade now.” Is that good? I can’t decide if I’m excited.

Fangraphs Bullpen Projections Not per fangraphs--according to their model we should have the second best bullpen in baseball. First, left and regression from Reddick, are the areas that could stand to improve.
March 28, 20187 yr Not entirely astros relevent, but Ted isn't the only Tucker that tore up spring training this year. Preston had a great spring for the Braves. Wouldn't be surprised to see him have a good year playing full time for them. Always thought the guy could mash given enough at bats.

Do you not remember 2 years ago when there were stretches when he was hitting in the 3 hole on the reg? He got his chance with us. Now if he ends up going JDM I'm sure people will gnash but they can GFT
March 28, 20187 yr He tears up RHP, not so much on LHP, like the majority of lefties, that said I hope he does well for Atlanta

Now if he ends up going JDM I'm sure people will gnash but they can GFT He was playing with a bad shoulder. The year before he hit damn near .250 in his rookie season. His only healthy prolonged stint in the majors. Not saying the astros made the wrong move getting rid of him, just saying I think he will prove himself worthy this year in Atlanta.
March 28, 20187 yr There's unfortunately a little component in baseball called defense, and P Tucker can't play it very well.
March 28, 20187 yr Preston was an average hitter in the PCL last season and is a terrible out fielder. I hope he does well in Atlanta but I wouldn't hold my breath.

March 28, 20187 yr I think Preston can be a solid player. I was excited for him his rookie year and he never really had another healthy stint on the big league team with us. I hope he does well.
