    Yeah, this is Trump pulling the strings. It’s just that it’s incredibly stupid and is going to hurt them all and Biden will come out of it looking better.

    Of course it’s Trump - He really is the idoit in charge of the Republican Party. Everything he touches turns to shit. McCarthy goes along to keep his speakership for a few more months. 

  2. I really appreciate Chas not taking Chandler’s bait. His quotes about Dusty being the manager, etc are all appropriately mild.

    Assuming this team makes the playoffs, the lineup decisions will tell who’s really in charge.

    He went from having the best year in his career with the Rockies to having his worst with the Angels. Do you really want to add a salvage operation to the team with 35 games left?  I don't think he's worth it, there's something wrong with him mentally or maybe he has a bad attitude since the trade. Either way, that is a phenomenal drop off over the course of a month, and the Astros don't really need him. If he were a gold glove first baseman I would say it's worth a shot, but we really don't need another outfielder. 

    This conversation went too far. It only started because I said he’s better than Julks. Because it’s an off day, I went looking at our 40 man roster and there are several folks who could easily be DFA’d in that group. I would not replace anyone on our 26 man roster today with Grichuk.

    He was hitting .168 for the Angels since the trade, which is worse than Maldonado, so no thanks. There's a good reason he cleared waivers.

    He has .774 OPS for the year combined with Colorado. Compared to most of the trash at the bottom of our 40 man - that looks like Lou Gehrig.

    Grichuk could still be released by the Angels and become a free agent. Would the Astros have any interest in signing him to a deal for injury insurance with Brantley or to replace Jake Meyers?

    He would be insurance for Brantley but I wouldn’t want to give up on Meyers to do it. It doesn’t look like there’s room on the 26 man roster.
