Question from long time player fan.  Pitch Philly picture threw to Vazquez I believe.  He swung & fouled it off, but it would’ve probably hit him.  Question is - If batter swings & makes no contact & pitch does hit him, is it a strike or does he get the base?

I’d bet a strike but I don’t ever remember seeing it happen before.

Strike

Yes

At the end of July when Astros were playing Mariners the Astros Rafael Montero's pitch hit Julio Rodriguez while he swung at it and Rodriguez went to the injured list.

That was a Big dinger.

Anything that flies that high and far should have a stewardess on it.

Very questionable, a very stupid play

I borrowed that line from “Bull Durham”…..Kevin Costner told that to Tim Robbins after Costner tipped the pitch he was going to throw. That was a good movie.

It's my duty as a Rangers fan to always root against that other Texas team. 😎

I like it. Now just need to do something about that DH spot. I've heard rumors about Nimmo and Conforto. Market value for them on Spottrac is pretty high. I would prefer Nimmo out of the two if they are going to do that. I like the idea of bringing Yuli back for 5-7 million. Something about that man in the playoffs and he's a big part of the culture. Abreu and Yuli could be the 1B/DH option on most days. You could put Yordan as DH and play Myers in the OF on some other days. We shall see what they do, but I do think they sign Nimmo, Conforto, Brantley, or Yuli for a positional/DH spot.

Verlander to the Mets.  Oh well.

86 mil for 2 years

As much as I would have liked for JV to stay, Astros pitching staff is good enough that it isn't necessary to pay 43 mil a year to a 39 year old pitcher.

Just glad I got to see him SO 11 in Alcs gm1

For someone wanting to be in the big apple with all that money, fame, and a supermodel wife. This could be a bad decision. Mets can't keep pitchers healthy. Bet dollars to donuts he doesn't finish the next 2 seasons.

[rupert3]

Exactly what I was thinking.  Kate will like NYC.  But they will live in the suburbs.

[mat]

He wanted a three year deal. I would have expected him to stay in Houston for two year deal.

[rupert3]

No way Astros were gonna pay that kind of bread.  I don't beleive
