James Click awoke on July 27, 2021, with a serious problem on his hands. The Astros were 61-40, one game behind the Red Sox for the American League’s best record. They had the league’s best offense and the American League’s best rotation. The bullpen, however, could best be described as shaky. The night before, Click […]

Like we said - why not both. Bats for arms. Mead for Early In losing Mead they lose a power bat whose prospect history suggests could keep this up. The major league results are spottier but he’s young enough you can see a team still buying into scouting In gaining Early the get a rotation worthy arm who’s probably more a 3/4 but a 3/4 with lots of control left. A spot that doesn’t have to be filled with cash or FA gambles. That is if he can stay healthy. He ...
For five scoreless innings at Rate Field on Saturday night, the game was a question of which hard-throwing right-hander would crack first: Sean Burke or Hunter Brown?

Or any run support. The post Astros 4, White Sox 1: Second-straight suspect sixth sin...
