If Bud Norris could pitch against the Cardinals every start he would be the prerennial Cy Young award winner.

I am starting to think that they have fallen in love so much with the rebuild model that they just don’t realize we are not going to support a 100+ loser for too many years in a row. They’d better start keeping some talent.

If the Astros were not moving to the AL, I’d say the Cardinals should get him just so he can’t pitch against them. Had Norris been able to pitch all his games against the Cards he’d have a chance to be the first unanimous choice for the HOF.

He has swing and miss stuff, and could easily breakout this year. He consistently puts together long stretches where he is good. Really bad short stretches kill his era, and those stretches can be fixed.

Don’t do this one or Jeff Lose-now (credit to Stex52 for nik.) will start to stick.

And…. He kills St. Loui.

It will never happen, but if Luhnow could put together a package that got Myers from the Royals, I’d crap my pants.

Bring on the ‘thumb downs’. An Astros’ fan can dream. Hell, right now it’s all we have.

Come on Astros , what are yall thinking. Trading away one of our better pitchers. Between him and Lucas Harrel we dont have a good rotation. I understand we are trying to rebuild, but trading away out best pitchers will kill is.
