June Predictions

[koolade2]

I think the Astros need to bring up that Win total on the 7-15 when scoring less than 4 runs. Need to be more efficient in low scoring games. that will probably be the norm in the Playoffs

[astrosdoug]

A win tomorrow would mean the Astros match their 2017 record through 75 games at 50-25.

Actually surpassing the 2017 team's pace at this point would be hard; that team got up to 52-25 before losing another game.

But if any Astros team could do better than the 2017 Astros, it would be this one.

We can pass 2017 Astros fairly easily in late july and August. But September would be tough to match.

I agree I could see us win 21 of the next 26 games to bring our record to 70-30.  That would allow us to go 31-31 to close out the year and match last year

It looks like a lot of KABOOMS are in your future from the top down.  Yes 

Tonights game helped in one run game winning %, extra inning winning %, and 4 runs or less winning %.  Good night for stats.

I wonder who the last team was that scored over 800 runs and allowed fewer than 500.  

[astrosdoug]

The run differential now sits at +169. At the ASB last year, it was "only" 162.

The non-MMP games show the Astros have about the best offense around; but there is something about MMP that makes it hard for that offense to shine through.

I still think a really good bat added to the team could be the difference maker on making it to the WS.

Obtain Abreu, Castellanos, Avisail Garcia or Beltre to this team...plus Tucker comes up and shows why he is the next big thing....How bullet proof would this lineup be? All players above, except Beltre, are under control through 2019.

Then I trust Luhnow to acquire one good bullpen arm.

Over the course of the season things change and move around a bit.  For awhile it looked like we needed a guy to dh and play first so Abreu made good sense.  Then Gattis started smashing the ball and Gurriel has slowly begun to increase his slugging % to the point where now he has an ops of 759.  So perhaps that broken bone in his hand really did cause his drop off.  As we move closer to the trade deadline there are lots of guys who have experienced a drop off from last year but are still doing pretty good and then there is Gonzales and McCann.  Gonzales is exactly 200 pts of ops less than last year and McCann is off 120 pts of ops.  And then there is Marisnick.  

Over the past month I have slowly started to change my opinion of what we will need at the deadline as folks performance has increased or dropped off.  At this point it would appear as if it is time McCann was put on the dl for a while so that he can get a rest and recharge himself for the final push.  Stubbs has earned a look and that dl stint would go a long way to help us see what we can expect from McCann for the final month of the season and the playoffs.  And to take some of those Gonzales and Marisnick at bats the promotion of Tucker may do the trick.  Giving Springer a few days off sure would not hurt either in the big scheme of things.  Expecting Stubbs and Tucker to both experience success might be a bit too optimistic, but if one does then we will know what we need to do for a bat.  

But on the other hand we all can agree that we need late inning help.  If it can come in the form of a left handed power arm that has had success and is doing well this year then Hand is the guy and Britton may be another option depending on how we does over the next couple of weeks.

I see the Yankees as the Russians in the Cold War area, but I can not call it the Arms Race, because that would imply pitching, so it is the Bats Race....

Astros have a good lineup and most would say they are in good shape...but I think they need to be better than good....I am on the side of picking up that bat that gives them that extra percentage...But comes down to it, it is all about having the extra percentage....Games are won or loss with that percentage...Now who can give us that percentage (<----- Pacino paraphrase from Any Given Sunday)
