1.) What is the most devastating pitch you’ve seen an Astro throw?
I asked this on twitter the other day, here were a few of the responses - let us know yours!
It’s the @LMcCullers43 curveball. Not a question. Dude threw 24 in a row IN THE PLAYOFFS.

2.) With the changes to the rules this year limiting or eliminating the value of LOOGY’s and the addition of a 26th spot, what ideas do you have for the new added flexibility in roster spots?

Do you think this will increase the number of Jake Marisnick / Myles Straw type - super speedsters with defensive replacement value? Does this inherently change their market value in your mind? Does this further drive the Opener / shorter inning style of play?
