  1. What a shitty year. I mean I’m not crying for him because he’s been behind every hitter, gave up 2 other solid contacts and that’s what happens when you play with fire, but son of a butch does every half mistake we make have to get punished to the maximum?
  2. Then Bregman pisses on one and it’s 3 feet foul.
  3. And there’s the other side of the buzzards lick we’ve had. I assume that’s a f7 for an out in 26 or 27 other parks. But this year it sneaks into row 1.
  4. I hate this management team and field staff. Like- this is JV day you fucking assholes. 4 days rest. Pitch and play your best players until this shit gets stabilized.
  5. You don't become this unplayable- even if you are old- without being hurt. Period. End of story. He's either nursing an injury that will get better, or more likely refusing to acknowledge that at his age the back stuff he has going on is probably career ending. I do not believe this is age related decline b/c of how terrible it is.
  6. Yeah- hopefully the sarcasm was dripping through in my post. Whatever- cocky Bregman is better than humble Bregman. But I'm not convinced. His head is pretty far up his ass...
  7. Bregman had his best swing of the season on Sunday. He’s fixed and the Astros are going to win a ton of games in a row. He told espn that so we are good.
  8. Someone at IT cashed against him last year. Said he’s legit good, would play right away and is a draft able level dude for sure.
  9. That would be awesome- especially if the contract is insured. I happen to think that’s probably the case btw. His back must be wrecked.
  10. Whitley to the 60 day DL. if not now- call me a precog.
  11. They should have that resolved by 4:00 pm tonight or 60 day DL him or dfa. I mean- I think you are probably right but if they had balls that would be the deal.
  12. I don’t have for that Sunday but I do have for Saturday the 13th which is a 3:00 pm game. Yours if you want them. Let me know.
  13. I said on the podcast- watch this be for them to IL Chas and this is about Loperfido being the 4th OF or some such nonsense. This org is really testing my patience. None of this is difficult. We've got plenty of dudes that could play 1b not as an abject joke. If they were serious about winning it would look like this (if chas were hurt) P- JV- normal rest tonight- lineup facing a RHP Altuve-2b Yordan- DH Diaz- C Tucker- RF Bregman- 3b Pena- SS Loperfido- LF Caratini- 1b Meyers- CF. If chas is healthy substitute Loperfido at 1b for Caratini and see what happens If LHP substitute Dubon for 1b. Ugh. Dumb dumb dumb.
  14. The rates went up today because hourly wages went from 0.9% to 1.2% (expectation was 1.0%). That’s driving inflation which is driving rates higher today. interestingly enough tax receipts are lower, consumer expectations are at a 2 year low right now and one real life number has jobs down 100k over the same time period BLS has them up 500k. So- there’s some disconnect between what is actually happening and being observed vs what’s being reported which relies heavily on modeling. inflation is actually the opposite right now- the government number is coming in significantly higher than what’s being seen by the dudes looking at 10M factors v 780k factors. Thats to say that maybe the government is simply getting it wrong and not intentionally. none of this is original thoughts be me, passing along what the market tea leaf reader I pay says. Is he right? Dunno. It sounds plausible. rates will improve Wednesday if fed slows down balance sheet reduction and starts buying treasuries and MBS. The thought is that will definitely happen, but when? Habib seems to think that could be at tomorrows Fed meeting announcement.
  15. No, no we cannot. It's such a beat down. Just one good solid week. That's all we need.
  16. For fucks sake. Why not blanco Thursday Framber Friday, Javier Saturday and IV Tuesday and Sunday? So irritating. Back to normal on the episode. I think it’s good. We talk problems and solution for the Astros.
  17. Let me see if I have tickets left for that day and I will get back to you if so. We have some pretty sweet season tickets and I will send them along if I have them for a first Astros game ever.
  18. How many boys you got? Where you coming from?
  19. I've never thought he wanted to be here long term.
  20. The answer for why pay Tucker market for 6 wins if you are better off losing is "if you are paying market you can always trade him," and if you are paying market you can always trade him and pay a lot of his salary and get some prospects that you really like- which in a market where you can't trade guys for draft picks is a market inefficiency every rebuilding club should aspire to. Also- I think with the base of this team we wouldn't be likely to prefer losing to Tucker's 6 wins, but if it went that direction that's the lesson to take from him having that deal- imo.
  21. Bet on over. You also aren’t factoring in 1 or 2 guys from the portal that are not on the roster yet. Helms going to get drafted too I’d bet for sure. Another WR.
  22. Holmes can be our placeholder then for whoever starts opposite Manny- either him or a corner from the portal.
  23. Gerry has 11 getting drafted, Blue not coming out and none of the portal guys going. He sits down to pee. He and Bobby were like “maybe we get 7 or 8 guys drafted all pre season- which was pretty laughable when you consider they had Quin and Barron gone for sure. for him to have 12 guys shows you just how stacked it’s going to be. also- my guess is we have 2 more drafted guys coming in this round of the portal still that haven’t yet been identified.
  24. Glad we have bases loaded and no outs and cabbage, Abreu and Chas up
  25. After setting a Longhorn record today for a 7 round draft, next year will be much better than this year in all probability. Our highest ranked guy this year was #16. We had 11 guys drafted. Both should be eclipsed fairly easily next year. Call your shot here and now… Total- 16- new record for a 7 round draft Quinn, Blue, Helm, Golden, Bond, Boldon, Banks, Major Sorrell, Collins, Barron, Makuba, Savea, Holmes i think all those guys get drafted. Give me one more offensive lineman that ends up being a 3 year guy (Campbell or Williams) and one more defensive player on the line. Quinn and Banks go top 10 and one of the receivers sneaks in to first round. After all that happens we go into 2025 more talented than 2024.
