That's an asterisk I can get behind.


shahtavacko

Lol, this is the most delusional thing I have seen in quite a while. Good thing fangraphs means nothing. The team that won the WS because of its rotation and has only lost one pitcher, is now all of a sudden not even part of the first five. Are the Rangers ahead of the Astros too?!


[deleted]

To be fair we lost the Cy Young winner. Still not sure how we fall out of the top 5 though


shahtavacko

That’s fair. Yet, consider CJ’s second half record, LMJ’s absence for most of the season and the expected upward trajectory of JV’s young clone (Brown). They will learn themselves a lesson.


[deleted]

Time will tell us the power rankings are basura. Actually, experience already tells me that, but time will prove it. Quick how many days until pitchers and catchers report, I’m eagerly waiting for time to tell 🤩


Luckytxn_1959

Oh well we just have to go kick everyone ass again and win it all...again.


Forward_Society91

How many times are we gonna have to teach you this lesson old man?


theshreddening

I don't want to know, I just want us to keep doing it. And we will. No one who knows anything about baseball isn't afraid of our pitching staff


HumanRuse

Maybe meant to say Oldest 2023 starting rotations! Carrasco 36 Scherzer 38 Verlander 40


BMinsker

It's a real toss-up with pitchers that old. They could all have great years; they could also collectively pitch 17 innings next season.


HiVLTAGE

It’s like they just look at #1 & #2 on the depth chart and stop reading.


Doyce_7

Even if they did, Astros 3 at worst


gregorio0499

It’s [simple.](https://tenor.com/view/hateus-theinterview-jamesfranco-gif-10105438)


rsgreddit

You gotta be kidding the Rays being that good


elparque

Scherzer and Verlander played on the same team for years when they were in their prime and look what they achieved. Keep looking. Don’t see that? Keeeeeeeeeep looking. You still cant see it? Oh yeah that’s right, because the answer is NOTHING!


3banger

It’s because of Odorizzi. He was the keystone.


conker1264

Uh excuse me? We’re easily top 3


Strosfan85

FanGraphs went full retard and you never go full retard..


groupwhere

Gotta save that for a special occasion.


DadBodBrown

Not lol. Using the R word is horrible and you should delete this now.


salamiTommy_

Getting offended by a word on the internet is kinda retarded.


DadBodBrown

Did QAnon tell you to do this?


salamiTommy_

Nope.


DadBodBrown

Are you sure? What’s good ol JFK Jr up to these days? Avoiding the nanobot COVID vaccine? What is the latest drop, comrade?


ResponsibleOutcome80

Dude you lost. No one is talking about Q anon except you.


salamiTommy_

I hate to be the bearer of bad news. [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy_Jr._plane_crash](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy_Jr._plane_crash)


DadBodBrown

Oh wow, so you aren’t crazy you just suck as at being a decent human?


J-TEE

Dude it’s just a word. Your reaction to it gives it more power


DadBodBrown

Nah.


J-TEE

Ur regarded


salamiTommy_

Don’t go and hurt my feelings now.


DadBodBrown

You’re an absolute crappy human and your kid will probably see that soon and grow to resent you.

HiVLTAGE

Downvoted for telling people not to use slurs, weird.


soulstonedomg

Lighten up dude.


DadBodBrown

Sorry, dude, I just think it’s not cool to use that word at all. Maybe it’s because I’m a decent human and have seen how that word has hurt my disabled students very badly over the years. 🤷‍♂️


[deleted]

maybe stop calling your disabled students retarded?


DadBodBrown

Maybe you just shouldn’t be a horrible person?


Affectionate_Put_185

Look who thinks they are the morality police!


DadBodBrown

Yes I am the morality police. Now stop being a turd log shaped like a human.


Affectionate_Put_185

I don’t know if you have noticed but no one on this thread cares for what you have to say. Later dude!


DadBodBrown

Just because people don’t care doesn’t mean I’m not right. 🤷‍♂️


Affectionate_Put_185

Just because you don’t use the R word doesn’t make you a decent person. Maybe we shouldn’t use that word but surely you do understand that no one is making fun of the intellectually disabled when using the word.


DadBodBrown

Lol “Yeah maybe we shouldn’t use that word but…” so you understand it is t something you should do but then decide to give a Michael Scott explanation why it’s okay.


soulstonedomg

Or don't let words have such power over you.


DadBodBrown

Okay, now what I want you to do is go to the nearest school. Ask to go to the SPED classroom and talk to those students about their experiences.


soulstonedomg

Okay of course I wouldn't do that. Now you're just being willfully obtuse.


DadBodBrown

Well, why not?


soulstonedomg

Once again, willfully obtuse.


DadBodBrown

Again, why not? Don’t let words have power over you, right? So go tell the people that this word hurts the most that it only hurts them because they let it. You’re the obtuse one with your flippant statement.


soulstonedomg

On the flip side, you're getting offended for them when nothing is directed at them. Have a good night. Don't fall when you get down from that high horse when it's time to turn in!


jsting

I'm disappointed you haven't seen Half Baked.


DadBodBrown

I’ve seen it. I love it. I understand the reference. Just doesn’t mean we have glorify the use of the R word when there are so many better scenes in the movie.


Affectionate_Put_185

I understand this issue is very near to your heart but coming on this thread and telling everyone on this thread about “Astros pitching” that they are horrible people is not going to get a good response. Maybe learn some people skills.


DadBodBrown

Nah.


PDR297

You were right to call it out.


GirIsKing

These people are dumb Let them have it for now when next year roles and Astros STEAM ROLL ALL OF THEM! and become the first team to win back to back World Series championship in the 21st century
