“Spahn and Sain and pray for rain.”
(Shortened version of a poem about the pitching staff of the 1948 NL champs, the Milwaukee Braves.)
A starting rotation heavy with talent at the top, but questionable after positions one and two. That was the lament of the poet above, and it may well be the fate of the Astros in 2020. Sure, Lance McCullers was once the big bonus baby, and he threw 24 straight unhittable curves at the Yankees in the 2017 ALCS. But in 2020 he’s coming off Tommy John surgery. McCullers? This is the outlook on McCullers.
