  1. Yeah, enough fucking around today.
  2. Team looks like they’re trying to push a giant boulder up a hill wearing roller skates today
  3. I would like a Greinke cam please, I feel like we have the technology
  4. The fuck we don’t. Greinke’s at 3 right now, once he gets a chance to talk hitting with our professional hitter(s), I’m sure his HR rate will go up. They can use him at DH once in a while to give Yordan some rest, maybe a spot start at short when Correa inevitably gets nicked up- he is a reigning 5x gold glover, after all. Some pinch hit AB, of course. And make sure he gets a start in MIL. He may need to get the last one or two in the series, do postseason HR count?
  5. Love that this was the first game for these guys from the blue jays and they were both in on it along with machete. Pretty good trade deadline.
  6. If there’s a bigger way to say “we don’t give a shit about a no-hitter” than pulling the starter after 6 and then trotting out Harris, a new guy and then Devo to close it out in the ninth, I don’t know what it is.
  7. Watched that clip like 15 times already, even with all the annoying personalities in it, it’s amazing
  8. I think this is pretty good
  9. lolmets forever
  10. Probably asked for Yordan but were willing to be talked down to Tucker+Whitley as their backup
  11. Return of machete twitter follies also some dude came on here and started selling Astros trucker hats for $8 apiece, made a killing
  12. Almost like those two franchises being shit ass clown shows didn’t happen by accident
  13. Sure, hold on to him for 2 more magical months of .500 baseball ending up 4th runner up for the wildcard and lose him for nothing out of spite. Or, they’re a bunch of doofuses that are posturing but are eventually going to take the best offer currently on the table, and everyone knows it.
  14. So my current read on Astros-related things based on twitter accounts of actual reporters and mlb live: - only reported connection is talks for Wheeler with the Mets. Competition is supposedly Rays and possibly the Yankees. - Bumgarner situation unclear, Giants gave up a major league reliever for a prospect so may be tentatively selling or standing pat - Oakland picked up Tanner Roark from the Reds, trying to catch the Astros/get that WC spot - D-backs picked up a pitcher in exchange for a prospect (no longer sellers after their talks with Yankees about Ray collapsed?) So there's always the possibility of something coming out of nowhere, but as of now looks like Wheeler or nothing.
  15. well to be fair, it's mostly putt. Putt, is this HR girl real or is it just someone trolling you on twitter?
  16. take it easy, don't do anything crazy
  17. If it comes down to Astros vs Yankees for Wheeler, should the Astros up their offer for the additional benefit of blocking the yankees/costing them more?
  18. Take it easy, Putt. Why don't you sit this next one out, stop talking for a while.
  19. bro, that's a clown account
  20. that supposed tweet wasn't even dated from today (date on the picture of the tweet was 7/30). hard to imagine they were keeping a minor league prospect that far in the loop and yet nothing got out about it for more than a day. edit: yeah, just had a look at Tucker's twitter account and the last time he tweeted anything himself was October of 2018. Only 8 retweets since then. Not exactly a hardcore twitter user. Also "what's good NY" sounds pretty different from all of his other tweets.
  21. so we have 3 people saying they heard it from a friend who was in 31 flavors, but nobody who heard it themselves, and still nothing on Twitter at all about it.
  22. Oakland adding Tanner Roark from the Reds. Still nothing on MLB network or twitter about Wheeler.
  23. yeah, not seeing anything about this anywhere. What's the source for this?
  24. Looks like the Giants are making a trade with the Brewers, getting a shortstop prospect. not sure what the Giants are sending out, so it's not clear what this means in terms of Bumgarner's status. Something to keep an eye on, I guess. edit: not for Bumgarner or Will Smith edit2: for Drew Pomeranz, apparently. So still not sure what it means for buyer/seller status of the Giants.
  25. 2 HBP in a 3 batter span. How is Hurdle still in the game? At least he removed the pitcher, but they certainly should not have the benefit of the doubt- why wasn't there a warning in place at the start of the game? Seems like they should have ejected the pirates pitcher on the first HBP rather than letting him hit another batter a few pitches later, then letting Hurdle take him out instead of ejecting him. but to get this back on track here, would we be satisfied with no moves, if none of the other contenders make any more moves either? Have to admit I have visions of Bumgarner getting blown up by the Dodgers in the series, he's not on a good recent stretch against them.
