Chris Godwin's injury report promoted Emeka Egbuka from the most underpriced player in fantasy football to the most underpriced player in fantasy football. A first-round talent in a high-scoring offense with a lot of vacated targets. Situations don't get much better than that.

The pretty obvious move is to throw Hunter Brown tomorrow, leaving him available for a potential Sunday decider, and Framber Valdez on Thursday, in case Brown starts Sunday.

I’d be curious to see if Espada makes the same mistake Dusty made when choosing between a veteran and a younger, more productive pitcher for an extra playoff start. Dusty chose Lance over Javier in the World Series. Espada needs to choose Blubaugh over Javier.

You need both games. Don’t do this.

Absolute misery

If only the rest of the team wanted it as much as Zach Cole and AJ Blubaugh wanted it.

25 consecutive quality starts. Six consecutive quality years. Sheer dominance on baseball's biggest stage. What an incredible run for Framber Valdez.

The Astros traded Kyle Tucker for a better future and then punted away a chunk of that future for the "present" because they couldn't wait two and a half weeks to promote a guy with 32 minor league games of experience. All to miss the postseason. A directionless organization.
