  1. Trade deadline days under him sure are a whole lot of fun. I guess that goes hand in hand with having a contender, but it’s like after the dejection in the clubhouse (and fanbase) after doing Jack squat on July 31, 2017 , it lit a fire to always make the trade deadline one of the most exciting days of the year and that hasn’t fizzled out going on 8 years now.
  2. I was at Loandepot park last Monday. You are correct “almost major league park” that place cost $600M to build and it looks it. Sucks it gets to host a WBC final next year. At least it has a roof and the AC is good. The whole time all I could think about was “this is like a 21st century version of the Alamodome.” the ambiance was worse than a minor league game. They didn’t even try to get the crowd in to it. (Not the worst thing… no one needs to hear “errybody clap yo hands”). But it was still bizarre at how little attempt there was to get the crowd to be part of the action. I guess a 2-1 game in front of 11k is about as snooze worthy as it gets. at least I saw a Stowers homer…. And machete double.
  3. Are you ready for the best part? …. make sure you’re sitting down….
  4. Previous owners left me their washer and dryer when I bought my house in 2017: washer has been great but has had a leak in to the bowl for a while that my SO finally got on me to do something about. did some research, replaced the water inlet valve. No leak. saw this thread and decided to look to how old the thing is: Holy shit:
  5. What package are you guys getting with these cheap deals? I like the All Access but only got that for ~$10/month last time I renewed
  6. I do respect the Padres “we’ll figure out tomorrow… tomorrow” mentality
  7. I look forward to the team presenting him his much deserved ring when the Marlins come to town next year.
  8. Yeah, doing all of this and the most significant piece we gave up was our 13th best prospect? Yes please. I'm really excited about Sanchez. contrast with: “Also striking was the activity of the Yankees, who, all told, forked over six of their top 30 prospects in the deals for David Bednar, Jake Bird and Camilo Doval.”
  9. Smart money is on October 7. mariners host a playoff game and earthquake ensures their 24+ year streak without winning a home playoff game continues
  10. The A’s are going to be a problem for those of us rooting for other teams in the AL West by the time they get to Vegas (assuming that ever happens). they're already a fun team to watch and will get even more so when De Vries is ready.
  11. It’s possible he did, but crane said no more salary for buxton or Ryan
  12. Arrighetti got knocked around tonight 79 pitches though, 50 strikes 4.2, 5 ER, 4 BBs, 5 Ks, 2 HRs 9.64 ERA during his rehab. Hopefully we get him back in the mix for the last game in Miami, not sometime at Yankee stadium
  13. It’s a shame we only have 3 more with the Mariners. at least it’s games 154-156 when we should have our rotation back and ramped up. Some combination of Brown/Framber/Arrighetti/Javier vs J.P. Crawford, Julio Rodríguez, Cal Raleigh, Randy Arozarena, Josh Naylor and Suárez. yes please
  14. Espada has got to be orgasmic right now. the amount of lineup mutations he was just gifted today with these three acquisitions?!?!
  15. and bottom holy crap! 8 straight hits. 8s are wild. still no outs
  16. So rewind to Nov 2, 2021: 78D35CC7-EA8D-4B91-A7DC-E29CBC98BAB82021-11-02_22-28-23_000.mov I wish I could go back to the moment immediately after that video and tell myself you’ll lose Correa…but only for 3.5 years. In the meantime, Astros will win a WS and make it back to another LCS while his replacement wins a WS MVP and turns in to an All Star. Oh and by the way, you’ll resign Altuve through 2029. When Correa returns in mid 2025, you’ll have Altuve locked up through 2029 owing him $103M over that stretch and Correa through 2028 for $71M.
  17. I want to like this…. But I can’t. Stop reading here if you don’t want the Debbie downer post…. The clubhouse and fanbase definitely needs a spark. I just don’t see how he’s going to transform into the guy we all fell in love with. When the more likely scenario is his 2025 stats are who he is and Father Time is catching up to him, a guy who could never stay healthy anyway and you put him in this organization and it’s medical staff and you’re much more likely to see him on the IL in Sept and Oct than you are hitting bombs and tapping his wrist
  18. I’d rather have gotten springer if we were going to do this
  19. When I heard yesterday “the Astros and twins are faaar apart”, I knew this was going to happen
  20. Would definitely help the “# of pitches per plate appearance” metric without Paredes.
  21. Who’s the left handed bat we’re chasing? dana has been talking about needing that for months
  22. If the Astros are seriously chasing Cease, they better have actual doctors and not their own medical staff overseeing the physical. I don’t trust a team that’s currently in the playoffs trying to move a guy that finished 4th in the Cy Young last year and 2nd two years before that.
