  1. I was 100% positive the astros would end up with wheeler if MadBum or Grienke didn’t happen. I know it’s the Mets but shit, what could they have possibly wanted that prevented Luhnow from making that deal?

  2. He's not signing for $25 million per year for 3 years. Lunhow has shown no interest in signing pitchers to long-term deals. 
    Cole is going to want 5-6 years minimum. Lunhow isn't going to guarantee him $25 million for his age-34 and 35 seasons this offseason. 

    That’s why I threw in the if. Cole has no desire to pitch for non-contenders. He was miserable in Pittsburgh even though they made the wild card game. He and his wife like Houston and he wants a ring. If Luhnow offered 125/5 Cole would sign. It’d be idiotic for Luhnow not to jump on that.
  3. I’ve detailed the 2020 payroll issues before. We have $120 million committed to 7 players. Correa and Springer arbitration will be at least another $25 million. Other arb and pre arb players will probably amount to another $30 million. Cole will command close to $30mm/yr on a 5 year deal. I just don’t see us with a $200mm plus payroll.

    To be fair, before 2017 happened, I never thought I’d see Houston win a World Series either.
  4. That was intentional in a blow out game, on one of your star players 

    Ah yes because Munoz (while at full speed) slides, stops himself and actively tries to avoid Correa, and then accidentally toe taps Correa’s elbow means he should be thrown at.

    It’s called breaking up a double play and Munoz did everything correctly (he could still easily reach 2nd base) except Knick Correa’s elbow with the tip of his shoe.

  5. I don't understand the Pujols hate either. Yes, he had that one at bat in 2004


    It was October 17, 2005.....my 15th birthday. I went from such a high when Berkman went deep to take the lead to such a low from that HR. People don’t forget

    Houston is also winless on that day in franchise history, I blame my parents.
  6. I’m stuck watching the rangers feed at a friends. Their announcers are insufferable. First it was bitching about MMP dimensions and then they shifted to Houston left the roof closed all day to make it cooler and dampen the flight of the ball.

     

  7. Chirinos has just been awful for 2 months. Hitting somewhere around .170. Strong candidate for surly whipping boy once White is gone.

    I’ll give him a pass until he starts playing shitty defense. He’s caught a lot of games. Catchers have it rough
