Checking in with the Astros players to see which ones we think can keep up the pace and which ones need to get better.
For the third straight year, the Astros have had a mediocre April. At just 8-9, they need to go 3-2 to equal the 11-11 starts of the last two seasons. For a team as consistently good as the Astros, it is an odd anomaly. For fans, it's nerve-wracking to see your team struggle and wonder if this is the year it all goes wrong. This is Houston after all and when Houston sports things go south, they go all the way south.
So, it feels like as good a time as any to play a little game called sustainable or unsustainable. As in, are these players going to continue as they have in April or we will see regression/progression to the mean? Let's make some predictions.Watching Jose Altuve's temporary replacement rake has been a pleasure, but Dubon is a career .250 hitter, his best season coming in the COVID-shortened 2020 season when he hit .274 for the Giants.
