FTC @ Astros - 5/15

Hell of a job by the pen.

Great to see Abreu, Chas, and Bregman drive some balls and do damage.

Neris was such a good signing. I hope he wants to stay.

Don’t forget Dubon’s three hits and two runs scored

Getting wins when your ace craps the bed is hard to come by. Good team win.

I will be the first to admit I am wrong when the time comes, but I still think Abreu will help this team.

Still a lot of season left. I know I’ll be rooting for him.

I’ve been thinking quite a bit about Click’s legacy and how the transition from Luhnow to Click to Brown will look years from now.

This morning I am specifically thinking of the decision to bring in Neris and NOT pursue Graveman.

At the time I was disappointed and confused at that decision (I almost always want players to stay with the team unless they stink).

But he, and the Astros pitching brain trust, sure got it right.

The way he rebuilt the pen on the fly was fantastic.

Man, two pitches FULLY in the zone called balls, and he was almost 2 percent better than the average umpire.

He didn’t miss many but the ones he missed were BAD

Just look at the first pitch of the game (doesn’t make that list)

To be fair, it’s there, just not the top 3.
