  1. the same people who buy merch at the ballpark? he's no Seth Beer
  2. The baseball side is what makes less sense, but it makes ABSOLUTE 1000% SENSE from a business/marketing perspective. Correa is still popular with most Astros fans despite leaving for the bag.
  3. You know there's a huge contingent of Astros fans that remember and and
  4. A's win again moments after Arlington beat LAA. Ms and Rangers now tied. 5 gms back
  5. this means Carlos has to come back now
  6. https://www.mlb.com/news/dylan-cease-could-be-on-the-deadline-trading-block
  7. I actually like it a lot. It's crazy to me how surly continually shits on Dubon but ignores how utterly fucked we'd be this year without him.
  8. the positional versatility is a plus
  9. Aaron Judge had a 30%+ strikeout rate in his first three seasons and has averaged 27.8 over his 10 yr career. I understand the contact concerns with Matthews but his exit velos when he makes contact and his athleticism screams "hold" to me. And the fact that he was Dana's first draft pick in the organization makes me think he's not going anywhere.
  10. Relatedly, it's worth remembering that the prospect Dana Brown deemed mostly untouchable in trade negotiations last year was none other than Jacob Melton. It will be interesting to see who he's more willing to part ways with between Melton and Matthews.
  11. I think it's a certainty that he's in the lineup on Fri
  12. three up, three down for Javier in the 2nd. Got his first swinging strike and K on Leo Rivas on a 94.6 four seamer.
  13. Javier struggled to throw strikes in the first inning. Infield single, walk, single, run scored.
  14. Quincy Hamilton released
  15. that guy is such a clown
  16. I do not envision Dana Brown trading Brice Matthews. Cristian Javier starting tonight in Sugar Land.
  17. So the home team is allowed to hit home runs after all?
  18. Losing Paredes really, really fucked this lineup of AAA scrubs and underperforming shitbirds like Diaz and Walker. His plate discipline and ability to drive up pitch counts in his ABs, let alone his Crawford Box power, is something we are sorely missing and I don't see any improvement thereof on the horizon. It's hard not to be pessimistic with all the injuries and no real hope of any lineup salvation on the trade front. Correa would help some of course, and maybe the change of scenery would see his performance at the plate improve.
