    I'm not entirely sure why Arrighetti wasn't called up last week but whatever.

    It's great to see any good start right now.

    Can't wait to see those highlights! Wild how the Stros are tied with the Mariners in the standings after that miserable weekend.

    Because he wasn't he is now a FA after 2030 instead of 2029.

    However, the official reason is his throwing schedule did not lineup with a day they needed a starter until today.

    He also had a late start to spring training due to a minor injury then his child was born and set him back a little more. He needed at least 2 of those Sugar Land starts to ramp up to starter level workload. The extra year of control is real nice!

    Half of Rockies wins are from beating the astros.
    Half of the Mariners wins are from beating the Astros.

    Yikes.......

    I'm pretty sure the HR projections don't account for the thin air of Colorado. A lot of balls don't get out of the stadium in models that absolutely would have gotten out in real life.

    Agreed; need some of these guys to seize and run with the opportunity afforded to them!

    That was such a big time performance by Arrighetti. Man. Crazy how one good pitching performance can suddenly make you feel more optimistic.
