You're in itIs there a 'Stros Trade Deadline thread? -
I hope that party at Joe Smiths was worth not scoring the first 4 innings with the best lineup in the history of the franchise.....you guys are being a disgrace.
Should have about 13 runs by now -
I thought we were gonna score in every inning the rest of the season with this lineup.
WTF -

As long as Houston offers Cole 25 mill a year he’s not going anywhere.
lol you underestimate Boras and greed

So by my calculations the Astros are trading for Thor, Boyd, Greinke, Bumgarner, Mancini, Greene, Wheeler, Stroman could possibly be in play because who the hell knows what the Mets do.
Thats a hell of a pitching staff.

I don’t think tucker puts up as much production next season as reddick
That would be fucking sad because Reddick has sucked for 95% of the season at the plate

Mine are definitely not mccann and mccann....and neither is that one lolMy favorite is still last year’s where instead of the faces of McCann and Gattis (mixed in with everyone else) it’s a picture of McCann and...McCann.Edit: best pic I can find until I can get home and get a better quality version. McCann on the left. McCann on the right...

Seems like an unusual move, but perhaps this would help us the mitigate the potential loss of Tucker in a Thor trade?
Yeah if we make this move I would guess they are trading Tucker to whoever and/or Josh Reddick to an NL contender (Braves?) that needs OF help. No reason to keep him if we were to get Mancini. Plus you can get a scrub or two back for him an hope they turn into Tyler White.
I would actually welcome grabbing Mancini and flipping Reddick.

Rosenthal just came out with an article in the Athletic that claims we are working hard for Wheeler:
Why Wheeler makes sense for the Astros
Two sources said Monday that the Astros were working hard to acquire Mets right-hander Zack Wheeler, though no deal appeared close. The Athletics, Rays and Braves are among the other clubs that have shown varying interest in Wheeler, who, like Bumgarner, is a potential free agent.
The acquisition of a rental would be somewhat curious for the Astros, who already face the possible losses in free agency of two starting pitchers (right-hander Gerrit Cole and lefty Wade Miley) and four relievers (righties Will Harris, Collin McHugh, Héctor Rondón and Joe Smith).
The Astros’ preference surely would be a starter they could retain beyond this season, but even if they added a Robbie Ray (one additional year of control) or Noah Syndergaard (two), they still would face numerous holes. Younger pitchers such as Josh James and José Urquidy will help fill the gaps, and Lance McCullers will return from Tommy John surgery next season. But the Astros know they will need to add more pitching regardless.
There also is a benefit to acquiring a rental such as Wheeler — it would come at a lower acquisition cost. The Astros’ farm system ranks seventh in the majors, according to Baseball America, but several of its top pitching prospects experienced injury and/or regression this season, reducing general manager Jeff Luhnow’s trade leverage.

Standing pat is a pussy ass move even if no one else does anything. Go win this thing. Adding a guy will bury any team in a 7 game series (as long as everyone is healthy).
Speaking of....I'd add someone based on that alone. God forbid Verlander or Cole get hurt we are fucked. Waste of a year.

Today is the day we've all been waiting for.

Not to interrupt the tittays but
Does anyone know why the card in New Jersey this weekend starts at 11am central? Main card is at 2pm central. Am I missing something? Just seems odd
-
He wasnt that bad and he can thank the last 2 runs to the dumbass they brought in who gave up a grand slam
-
Ray is Coles replacement and after getting with Strom it really aint gonna be that big of fall off. Ray will probably start the AL all star game next year.
*Now none of this will happen -
