  1. Hummel is slow as shit, it was a bad send. Meyers is not and should have been sent last night, even Beck was conceding the run.
  2. How bad is Whitcomb at 2B, that Altuve is the play over him?
  3. Who is underperforming other than Walker? Alvarez is always hurt that is not a shock and Altuve is clearly entering his decline years. Every other hitter is right at their career norms or is overperforming what their career norms have been.
  4. Which means our record is a mirage mainly due to our bullpen of misfits pitching above their talent. If they can make a full season pitching at this level it will be a big surprise and Crane will immediately offer all of them stupid contracts.
  5. We need a two with size, VanVleet, Thompson, Reed, Durant, and Sengun can all initiate offense in the half court.
  6. Can't walk players in this ballpark.
  7. How is Meyers not scoring on that hit?
  8. Trade Alvarez for that OF bat. Altuve needs to be the fulltime DH on this team moving forward. You might get a decent prospect and ready for MLB OF. Matthews should be the 2B moving forward as well.
  9. Their unprotected 2027 belongs to the Rockets though.
  10. I hate to lose Sengun, but Durant and Giannis would completely wreck shop. My biggest doubt is Giannis actually wanting to leave Milwaukee.
  11. Yes capela is a 100% a replacement for Landale. They prefer another defensive big that can get offensive rebounds and play pick and roll with Durant.
  12. They want to play a shit load of two bigs. Maybe we see a lineup of Thompson, Eason/Smith, Durant, Sengun/Adams/Capela.
  13. He has no rotation spot anymore. He's not a guard and the wings are now Durant, Smith, Thompson, Eason, and Finney-Smith.
  14. Yeah, that would be unbelievable for the Astros. That dude's head was never right this season, hopefully the Astros can un-aggy him.
  15. I don't see how he makes sense, when we need guards and not other forwards, unless we are trading Eason and/or Whitmore for that guard. He's a great role/bench player and I would like to have him, but VanVleet and Sheppard are the only true guards on the roster at this time. Tyus Jones makes much more sense and has shown to be a more consistent shooter, Ty Jerome would also be a better fit.
  16. Well, when Altuve isn't playing in the field, the Astros have one of the best defenses in baseball too.
  17. Bullpen is the only reason we are 16 games over. I expected bounce backs from Abreu and Hader, but the lefty cabal we got working has been amazing. My #2 is Brown becoming an ace even though baseball refuses to recognize it.
  18. It was reported no team or player options a true 5 year deal.
  19. Love the deal for Jabari. He's a quality rotational player but not a star. If he develops into a elite 3 and D wing, the contract is great.
  20. How they ace their offseason: You could make the argument Houston has done it already. In a period of two weeks, the Rockets traded for Kevin Durant and agreed to new contracts for Fred VanVleet, Aaron Holiday, Jae'Sean Tate and Jeff Green. They also signed coach Ime Udoka to an extension. The Durant trade was significant not just because the team acquired a top-10 player but also because its depth was kept largely intact. One move they should make: Let's expand this to multiple moves. The first is to sign Dorian Finney-Smith (if he opts out of his contract with the Lakers) to a two-year, $28 million contract. The VanVleet restructured contract (they reduced his $44.9 million team option to nearly $20 million) gives Houston the flexibility to use the full non-tax midlevel exception and not exceed the first apron. The team would, however, need to waive the $8 million non-guaranteed contract of Jock Landale. The second and most important move is to sign Durant, Jabari Smith Jr. and Tari Eason to extensions. Smith and Eason are eligible to sign until Oct. 20, and Durant has until June 30, 2026, to take a two-year deal.
  21. Cleveland just traded for Lonzo Ball, could mean that they expect Ty Jerome to leave via FA. I'd take him over the guy from Minnesota.
