Projecting the Astros Hitters at the Quarter Mark
Thomas B. Shea-USA TODAY Sports I thought it would be fun to take the first quarter stats of the Astros and project those numbers out for the entire season. OK, I can already hear you scream: “You can’t do that. Nobody has four identical quarters. Forty games is too small a sample size to project.”
I hear you. I heard you a long time ago. But damn it, this is a Houston Astros fan blog and we love our Stros. So don’t tell me George Springer can’t hit 52 home runs. Hell, he might hit 62. Or that Michael Brantley can’t hit 40 home runs. Or Justin Verlander can’t get 24 wins. Quoting our first African-American President, I say “Yes they can.”
