I think they are just babying tChuck because he's so fragile.

Purely spit-balling here but I wouldn't be surprised if he and Jabroni even alternated starts for awhile to start the season.

I definitely agree on the light load on our pitching staff. Outside of Verlander, I don't see us exceeding much over 150 innings w any of our pitchers if we keep the present wealth and health we have.

And the Altuve deal is the first most important step in figuring out how to keep as much of this core together

Considering Boras is his agent, I think Altuve did his part too, giving up some leverage w this deal in order to try and make some other pieces fall in place

Morton wasn't very sharp today

4.2IP 3H 4R 2ER 3BB 4K


Stros have made 3 errors today and have only 1 hit through 7. Springer lead off the game with a double and nothing since.

The minor leaguers score 6 runs with 2 outs to tie the game in the top of the 9th.

Awesome rally!


Why wasn't a 10th inning played?

So Jose Altuve is guaranteed to be an Astro until at least 2022, correct?

Morton wasn’t very sharp today


quote:

Charlie Morton is developing a changeup as his fourth pitch. Tried it in the third and fourth inning Saturday. "He doesn't like using it because his other pitches are so dominant. It's a force feed for him, it'll be effective," AJ Hinch said


A little context

Here's how the Astros will line up their rotation to begin the season:
3-29 at TEX: Justin Verlander
3-30 at TEX: Dallas Keuchel
3-31 at TEX: Lance McCullers Jr.
4-1 at TEX: Gerrit Cole
4-2 vs. BALT: Charlie Morton

quote:

“I wanted Charlie to pitch the home opener,” A.J. Hinch said. “I think that’s something special that he’s earned."

quote:

Kyle Tucker and Jack Mayfield will be among about 10 minor leaguers the Astros bring with them to Houston to play in their two exhibition games against the Brewers.

The "gold" jerseys, hats, and other merchandise posted earlier will go on sale Monday at 12:01 AM according to Astros Twitter. Pretty sure just at MLB shop and Club store at MMP to start.
