  1. So I was joking about taking credit for the Durant to Rockets trade but I did talk to Ishbia about it and asked him if his picks back and salary cap matching would be something they would do. He said “fuck those picks I don’t want them back we are going to be good and they are going to suck”. Obviously he got this years pick back but that was already a known quantity. That’s his thought process- not saying he’s right.
  2. 2.5 years. Unless you are trading him like Tucker going into his walk year. Dana was never a dumbass, Espada is still a moron.
  3. He didn’t get any more options or anything but he’s ok with being stashed in the minors unless and until we call him up.
  4. Just so yall know I made this deal happen. I had 5 minutes with Ishbia last month and told him he needed to trade KD to the Rockets. Now, KD is with the Rockets. You are all welcome.
  5. That doesn’t seem like a serious lineup. let’s get home 3-4 on the road trip fellas.
  6. Do it. He can play 3 times a week until Yordan returns.
  7. How dare you besmirch Caratini? Pistols at high noon.
  8. I believe that’s right. I’m allowed to enter early with mine- if you hit them from someone, probably?
  9. I mean- when he stops striking out all the time?
  10. Souza! Been so good man.
  11. Not after 2 up downs last night and warming him up Wednesday up 11-4.
  12. This ump is such an asshoke. Struck trout out on strike 4
  13. Hate Hader here. Allegedly challenge system coming next year. Allegedly.
  14. I want to murder this umpire.
  15. Yall need to respect his process. also- Hader shouldn’t pitch until it’s a save situation. Not sure Espada is smart enough to get that.
  16. The fact that we don’t have robot umps infuriates me.
  17. I just texted buddy felt a back foot slider hit by pitch coming. He missed that by 3 feet.
  18. Hunter should have 11 or 12 wins through 15 starts. Some shitty run support and horrific bullpen behind him.
  19. This ump is garbage. Also- we ain’t winning this game. If only.
  20. I don't see any particular reason the open stance would help his actual numbers overperform his expected numbers- unless the point of that is to hit more pull side flyballs then, maybe? I think he went from an average hitter to an above average hitter this year, and I think he did it from controlling the strike zone. I think he's had good fortune that makes his "above average" hitting look elite- but maybe he's learned some sort of hack like Paredes and Altuve where we should expect that going forward. Note- it's pretty unusual for someone to always and consistently outperform their expected stats. Pena's expected stats are good. The actual are great. Hopefully they don't converge too much.
  21. I think Yainer could be the answer at 1B when we give up on Walker if the other guy gets ready. Like- maybe 2027 Yainer moves to 1B most days and back up catcher for 40 or 50. I think there's a ton of talent in Yainers bat and I think it comes out- but maybe not. I don't mean 750 ops- that's pretty much a guarantee to my way of thinking- I mean 850 or 900 and knocking on the door of MVP if he does that at catcher. Like- Pena type year this year.
  22. Deep dive on batting order and whose getting "lucky", who we should expect to outperform their expected stats, whose getting "unlucky" and who we should expect to underperform their expected stats. Enjoy. Read, subscribe, share etc. https://medium.com/@breathingorangefire_71114/whose-lucky-and-who-isnt-94da0214bb76
