  1. Don’t yall see what is happening here? The trade isn’t for Cease. It’s for Machete! Cease is the throw in. Scoreboard bitches! This is chess not checkers!
  2. Lefthanded outfield bats are good to have I heard. Strikeout rate down to 17%. Who knew. Progression like that from Smith and Matthews and will be lookin good next year.
  3. It’s unbelievable to me but a lot of Astros X fans are actually ok with trading Framber and even advocating for it. If Dana was considering it the sell job to the fans won’t be near as hard as it would have been a week ago. Everyone sees the writing on the wall. I think it’s prob only 10-20% chance of happening. He did slip in the comment he would have to trade off of the major league roster. Of course all our prospects are on the major league roster at the moment. It’s really simple to me. If doctors say Yordan will return with a 100% clean bill of health with no caveats for reinjury, then you keep Framber and go for it. If there is any doubt that Yordan returns or returns 100%, you trade Framber. Without a healthy Yordan in the middle of the lineup, adding any bat will mean nothing in the playoffs. And MLB really should move the trade deadline back at least to Aug 15 after adding the wildcards. Even two more weeks would define teams playoff pictures more clearly.
  4. Ryne Sandberg passed away. Can’t be that old. Not him. Me. Ugh.
  5. I haven’t done a scientific study but clean shaven Altuve always seems to suck
  6. Trammell was damn near playing centerfield for a left handed batter. Like to see that scouting report
  7. Short’s time here is short
  8. Let’s score first for the first time in 3 weeks. Baby steps
  9. What in the Siskel & Ebert is goin on in here?
  10. Solid point about Tigers. Glory goes to the bold. 🏆 Nobody ever made a movie about a GM that did what that idiot Chandler “Mr Smartest Guy In The Room” Rome said.
  11. The last time one had 18 guys on the injured list and didn’t know if/when any would be back, how healthy they would be when they came, how they would perform when they came back, had a farm system with little talent and had just gotten demolished in 4 games by a last place team. That time. And I thought Brown was an ace too. I don’t think trading Framber is a white flag. The Tigers traded Flaherty last year during pennant race and I believe they beat us in the playoffs. They got back their starting shortstop and a catcher in Baseball 100. All I’m saying is if the Dodgers or whoever offer you one of their top two outfield prospects and a pitcher for Framber then it’s at least worth considering. The unprecedented nature of this Astros season should leave anything possible, as crazy as it sounds.
  12. I’m with you. I’d at least listen and try to rape the Dodgers, Mets, Phillies, etc. If they want to send a package because Framber is their missing piece then do it. What is our upside if he stays? What’s a successful season for keeping him? Missing playoffs and getting nothing? Or even win one round? These same people that say don’t trade will be bitching that we have no pitching and no farm system next year. If you knew 100% Yordan, Paredes, Pena and Meyers were coming back then that’s a whole different conversation. Wishing something and reality are two different things and we have 4 days to decide. Who says we can’t make playoffs without Framber? Still could. We could also trade him, get prospects and sign him back. Tigers just did it last year. Maybe he leaves, misses Julia getting him peanuts, and wants to come back. To dismiss any trade of him is shortsighted and frankly a derelict of duty if you’re Dana. Maybe he stays and we get healthy and we win a few. And maybe we don’t. Which side you want to be on? There probably isn’t a definitive right answer. I’ve given Dana plenty shit but in this case I won’t either way. But he will catch hell either way.
  13. Trammell has a 40% strikeout rate and is our best hitting outfielder not named Altuve, if you consider him an outfielder.
  14. Well we finally have a full lineup alternating left and right handed hitters. Dana for GM of the year!
  15. I was writing something almost exactly like this but you said it well. This is the reality.
  16. Losing 3 out 4 (at best) to the Homeless A’s should make you a seller. Throwing away assets on rentals to not make playoffs or lose first round is dumb. Save your powder. Good gritty run but 162 game schedule and injuries will expose all.
  17. Their guys hit balls to and over the wall. We bunt. If Chas and Hummel are on this team Aug 1 it’s a failure.
  18. Wow. Kurtz is a one man wrecking crew. I has jealous. Yordan doesn’t even hit oppos like that.
  19. I don’t think anyone wants to trade Framber for any other reason than he’s gonna be another one who leaves with nothing in return. If they sign him that would be great. I like winning.
  20. Im pretty sure it’s internet click bait to begin with but I don’t want Correa anywhere around this team and especially not for $30+ million a year. Pay that money to Framber if you’re gonna spend it. Correa has 0.1 WAR. His running ability and pop are both disappearing. Has 1 stolen base since 2019, has not hit 20 homers in 3 years. Brittle. No thanks. We had the best years of him. Watch a highlight.
  21. That one was meant for the bull
  22. Needed at least one there
  23. Way to build the anticipation Diaz
