A birthday to remember! 🎉

What’s more memorable than a TL filled with that discussion for weeks? Vote the meet-up.

So you’d rather never win a title, be mediocre but win regular season games then tank a few years, win a title plus be setup for a decade?

#Astros Lance McCullers Jr. 2018:
3.71 ERA & 1.294 WHIP

April 11th:
19.64 ERA & 3.545 WHIP

Other five starts:
1.78 ERA & 0.923 WHIP

Don’t be fooled by one bad start or let the raw numbers trick you.

Far more telling:
2.98 FIP & 2.70 xFIP

If you don't care about facts and logic, whatever I respond to you will do no good. https://t.co/yc3VSXJ8sv

@ndnpro64 About 79 percent so far.

[Astro Insider @TexSR_Astros]

@ndnpro64 He shot 81 percent in the regular season this year and is at 82 percent for his career. Wouldn’t call that mediocre.

[Astro Insider @TexSR_Astros]

@cloudnme Three rough outings after a stellar first couple weeks. He’ll be fine.

[Astro Insider @TexSR_Astros]

Joe Smith will want to forget this week ASAP. Rough stretch for a really good reliever.

[Astro Insider @TexSR_Astros]

@AstrosFan86 @astros_dude He’s got a recent history of starting slow in March/April and then heating up. Stay the course, my friends.

[Astro Insider @TexSR_Astros]

@bill_hooser @KeuchelDBeard @ErinAstrosFan Yep, his 4th start, against Baltimore.

[Astro Insider @TexSR_Astros]

The Astros are 8th in MLB in runs scored and 6th in wRC+ https://t.co/FzvIukbHTA

[Angie, PTA/AT (athletic trainer) @AngieATC]

@ErinAstrosFan We need a new hitting coach. I am not worried about our pitching (maybe Keuchel) but our hitting is not the greatest.

[Astro Insider @TexSR_Astros]

@strosfaniknow @willmoriarty86 Don’t you dare put that evil on Hudgens.

[Astro Insider @TexSR_Astros]

@klkdave @ErinAstrosFan @Aarcraft9 That “off” offense is still 8th in MLB in runs scored and 6th in MLB by wRC+

[Astro Insider @TexSR_Astros]

@ErinAstrosFan @klkdave @Aarcraft9 I mean, about 1/4 of their strikeouts have come from one lineup platoon spot (Fisher/Marisnick) and a player who isn’t even w/ the big league club right now (J.D. Davis). So I don’t really think it’s a “team-wide” approach issue.

[Astro Insider @TexSR_Astros]

But wait, I was told he was a better option than Giles. https://t.co/h6tBCnxFHS

[Bob Nightengale @BNightengale]

Greg Holland’s struggles continue as his ERA climbs to 7.11 ERA as #STLCards blow 3-run lead in 9th to #Pirates

[Astro Insider @TexSR_Astros]

Suffice to say Joe Smith is having a tough week.

[Astro Insider @TexSR_Astros]

@cprhou @BenDuBose Before the LAA debacle three days ago, he’d given up just 1 run with a 0.88 WHIP and a .158/.238/.158 line against him in the previous 7 outings. The last two have sucked, but come on.
