Yes, it's still very early in the season, but as things have played out the last 14 games, how much pressure is on Drayton and Purpura to get Clemens back in an Astro uniform? The bullpen looks like...

I think you have to look at more than 3 or 4 games before reaching a conclusion about how Williams will perform. Even in Williams' good seasons he frequently has streaks where he pitches very poorly....

I knew Woody would not be very good - but had high hopes he could pull it out. He's been an Astros fan for a long time, and really wanted to be on the team.Woody was proud to be on the team. So, I...

Quote:(By way of comparison, recall that Pettitte was putting up 6+ ERAs in first couple of months of 06, but ended the year in the mid-4's.)Yeah, but Pettitte didn't have 8 K's in 22 innings either....

I am not optimistic, especially with him being on the wrong side of 40. I would love to be proven wrong.

And...yes,he sucked last night....but...You must factor in the GABP factor as well...he's hardly the first to throw gophers thereSue Laws or Yvette???

You can't compare Woody and Pettitte based on K/9IP stats. Looking at the last five years Woody has a K/9IP of .66 and Pettitte has .83. Theyre different types of pitchers, so you cant use that as a...

If Woody was a bit lucky last year, so far the same FIP stats indicate that he is unlucky this year. His ERA is nearly 1 run too high, which admittedly isn't that great since it means his FIP-x ERA is...

Some of Woody's pitches were borderline and he didn't get the call, then followed that with some fat stuff that got drilled. He never broke a sweat, though. I liked the look on his face after the...
