What's Buzzing

Michael Schwab

Bagwell isn’t against analytics. They just think analytics has a place and shouldn’t be the end all be all. But that ends up being like 80% baseball knowledge and 20% analytics. It can’t work that way anymore

SFA has never lost to Duke in men's basketball

12h

Answer me this. If Bagwell has so much influence in the Astros front office, and he’s 100% anti-analytical, which many Astros fans seem convinced of, then why were the 3 Driveline employees and Flores hired?

Rangers super utility star Ezequiel Duran wins the Gold Glove at the utility spot. Well deserved. Jacob deGrom, Evan Carter and Wyatt Langford were all finalists at their positions, but did not win.

Jacob deGrom, Wyatt Langford and Evan Carter were Gold Glove finalists at their respective positions but did not win. Carter may have been GG worthy, but Ceddanne Rafaela is really, *really* good in center field.

Chronicle Astros

The Gold Glove is the fourth of Christian Walker's career and his first in the American League. He joins Jeff Bagwell and Yuli Gurriel as Astros first basemen to earn the honor. https://t.co/QmAwltMxE4
