  1. I had Hunter brown and Skenes winning the cy youngs. That’s not bad. Who could have seen Skenes coming? I mean- Hunter Brown was the obvious pick but the other was way off the board.
  2. Just a reminder- we still hate our team. More or less. Most of the time. but we didn’t threaten death on LMJ. That was Philippine degenerate gambler. Probably.
  3. I’m trending 4-0 right now, I think. I had under on yanks at 91.5. That’s pretty damn close one way or another. ha. Just did the maths… yanks on pace for 91.37 wins. Thats a winner. Science.
  4. Ole DFA Jake clearly the straw that stirs the drink around here. Facts!
  5. Is Florida closer to where the Tommy John surgery happens for Dubin? Not the dumbest lineup we could have trotted out there.
  6. Sorry- didn’t realize that was intentional but yeah- that’s pretty funny. I’m not high on the guy but he should be pretty solid defensively and hit some HR and steal some bases (at least against RHP) but that’s all pretty theoretical as his track record since joining the org is that he’s made of glass.
  7. Anyone ready for a palate cleanser? This is my favorite article I’ve got so far. 10 games that tell the positive story of the astros season. Read and subscribe please if you like it. https://medium.com/@breathingorangefire_71114/top-10-moments-and-themes-from-the-astros-first-half-f32493a5ff03
  8. That’s a cool story. Punch your buddy in the balls now for being responsible for Walter giving up 2 HR in the first 3 hitters bc he was distracted by the ashes.
  9. It gets better if you know how he sprained his ankle (and it’s melton btw)- he sprained it turning around and watching a HR fly out of the park. Something like that. Maybe jogging back to the fence to watch it sail over the 20 foot high wall in LF in MMP
  10. This guy has had stuff before the media before on the Meyers deal. He’s not lying about having heard it. His info source could have gotten it wrong but I doubt it.
  11. Astros guy that knows things online- grade 2, September absolute soonest.
  12. True. List wasn’t meant to be exhaustive.
  13. So, if it’s a grade 2 calf strain (and I don’t believe yet that they have any idea it’s not torn or an Achilles) we are looking at 8 weeks. Call it early to mid September if nothing goes wrong i think you have to plan for finishing the year without him. that tells me that we definitely need Chas back at the end of the all star break so we see if we have to fix CF or not. I don’t love Mullins but he plays CF passably (same as Chas) and hits left handed. Hes basically almost a must get at this time. Ideal would be a platoon with he and Chas at LF, but one can play center and one can play left if Meyers, Yordan and Melton all don’t work out and if Altuve gets shifted to 2B in playoffs. probably ideal playoff lineup Peña, Paredes, Altuve, Yordan, Smith, Diaz, Walker, Chas/Melton, Meyers/Mullins PH- Caratini (DH if Yordan is dead of has a hook for a hand by then). PR- Melton if he doesn’t start 3rd catcher- Salazar- never plays, utility/defensive replacement- Dubon this requires one trade for a mediocre dude that nevertheless fits us perfectly, plus Yordan, Chas, Melton, Meyers and Pena to all get healthy. All of their timelines are such that they should easily be healthy by then according to what the team is saying. But, Astros medical staff.
  14. If that’s all it is thank goodness. You’d think they’d be able to figure out if it’s an Achilles or a torn calf, but you’d also think they’d could ID a broken hand or broken ribs, so who knows.
  15. His era was a little worse than Abreu, his FIP was much better. He was 2-0 and none of the 4 games he gave up runs were important to the game, whereas every time Abreu gives up a run we lose.
  16. Going into today he had been our best reliever. True story. You can even look it up.
  17. Not gonna be today man.
  18. Hummell and Trammell have combined to go 0-4 with 4k’s on 13 pitches. Impressive. Andrew and I could do better I would bet. He wouldn’t likely swing. I might try to bunt. Definitely would have with 1&2 and one out.
  19. By the way- this ass hat pitching for then has a 52% hard contact rate. We look like we are swinging nerf bats.
  20. Did you see him leave the field? Sure as shit looked like Achilles. also you’ve been mocking me for months about the medical staff… believe me yet?
  21. Call Chas up and play him every day for the year. I bet he will be ok. He was average to good until last year and he got hurt and never got consistent AB’s. He probably didn’t forget how to play at 28 years old. He can still get there. It’s time for us to lose a 3-2 game.
  22. Paredes says shut your mouth.
  23. Too bad he’s not LHH.
  24. Just a reminder- this team had scored 15 runs in their previous 10 games coming into the icebox.
