  1. Is Diaz still up? I guess his off-season started a month early.
  2. Hopefully Yuli is taking whatever is making Pujols hit home runs at a higher rate than he has in over a decade. MLB said it’s juice time boys, the post season is here! We need runs! Im kidding. Sorta.
  3. Aledmys is Yordan’s support animal. He may have to be here next 10 years.
  4. Yep, there’s the rub. But I would say to that if you have pitching to trade you aren’t knocking on doors begging. Arguably, or maybe unarguably, the most coveted commodity in baseball and a conversation starter at the least. Click may have exhausted all avenues but that’s really up to Crane to decide at the end of the day. Hard to believe with pitching you couldn’t shake something loose if you really wanted to but in Clicks eyes I guess nothing worth trading for and trading for trading sake is wrong too. Im working on reports waiting to watch Hunter tonight just babbling away at what if scenarios. Feel free to ignore me lol
  5. There’s a saying that everything is for sale. I’ve bought many a truck or boat or whatever by just asking if someone wanted to sell it. If Click beat the bushes to make someone available in a trade that may not have had a sign around their neck, no one knows except those in the know. But saying no one was available just because they weren’t advertised as such isn’t always the case. GMs job is to find out.
  6. The focus for the off season should be first base. Serviceable outfielders can and will show up to a certain extent, maybe even Meyers, but 1B is historically a position of run producers with some emphasis on power. Need some of that back in the lineup next year. First basemen with low averages and no power are a drain on the lineup, no matter how well liked.
  7. The kid doesn’t seemed to be overwhelmed by any of it. As they say on the Twitter these days, he does seem to have that dog in him.
  8. Seems to me a 6’6-6’7 guy who can move and throw well enough to play shortstop could play a little left field. You sure wouldn’t put any of our left fielders at short stop.
  9. Let the rook DH! update: the rook is DHing
  10. Yordan scratched. Hand discomfort. Why are they even trying to play him right now?
  11. How fast is he? Bench bat and pinch runner in extra innings maybe. I mean I guess I’d rather have him pinch hit for Maldy than JJ or Dubon or somebody. Yordan LF, Mancini 1B, Conforto DH? I’ll waste all night on this. Need to take advantage of no game tonight to get some work done. Just when I think I’m out, they pull me back in.
  12. Boras has said that he will sign this year. But if all he can do is DH that is worrisome for how they feel about Alvarez. His surgery was on his throwing shoulder. But I did see a rumor that he had a closed workout with the Astros on Monday and hit live pitching. Four months off of shoulder surgery on throwing arm is not encouraging for playing outfield. Just what we need is more walking wounded. But could be a bench bat for playoffs or a move for next year also. Probably just Boras stirring the pot.
  13. Yeah I saw 5 contending teams were inquiring about him. But I doubt any have the opportunity in the OF that the Astros do. But I don’t know I really don’t pay much attention to others.
  14. I saw that Click was pumping the brakes this morning on Y. Diaz being called up. I wonder if because something going on with Conforto. If he’s healthy he’d be a fool to pass up a chance to come back to a World Series opportunity. Unless he thinks he would get more than $15 mil next year coming off an injury. I believe he is a Boras guy. I think that’s a more than fair offer though.
  15. Off topic but I wish they would wear gray pants with the Space City tops. Would eliminate the pajamas look. ok back to the game.
  16. Why Click keeps beating the Jake Meyers is a top of the heap center fielder is beyond me. He’s going to be 27 next year I believe. He’s Lewis Brinson with a Beatles haircut. I predict he will never play another regular season game in Houston. They will definitely upgrade the outfield this winter and either he will be thrown in a trade as a guy who needs a change of scenery or he will go to spring training and not make the roster. But if we are trotting him out to centerfield next year Click should be barred from Minute Maid. One of two things is true for Jake, he is either not a very good player or he was not fully healed. In either event, he should never have spent so much time here clogging up the lineup and that’s on Click. Our best pitcher won’t even allow him to play behind him. That’s all you need to know.
  17. Just put them all on the IL and be done with it. Piece together lineups for a couple weeks and deal with it. Let everybody come back in a couple weeks, get tuned up for October and kick ass. It’s not like Yordan has been hitting anyway. And Maldy is Maldy. He won’t be here forever. These pitchers gonna have to trust somebody else at some point.
  18. Corso can’t complete a thought or form a sentence and he sounded smarter than Howard.
  19. No hitter no hitter no hitter. I don’t know if the jinx works if the team being no hit says it but what the hell.
