Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't see any way this team goes from 106 wins to 94. Yeah, JV and his 18 wins are gone. And maybe the bullpen regresses some. But the lineup is significantly better. We're gonna turn a few 3-2 losses into 4-3 wins along the way.
If the over/under is 94, I'ma rob a damned bank so I can put it on the over. This team is still stacked and you know we'll make moves at the deadline if we need to.
Put me down for 101.
Another factor working against us is the time off/fatigue from playing into November 2 years in a row. And this year you add in the WBC which players have to report even earlier. I'm on the 101 train if there are no serious injuries like Yordan or Breggy, but I think 96 is more realistic as there are several on out roster with a history of missing significant time throughout the season.

pitching will be at a premium at the trade deadline and the astros might be taking calls .....
Dumb question immunity.. When the media yammers on about how shitty of a farm system the Astros have does that take into account our Dominican league and international players?

My boys wanted Astros baseball cards, and in the pack was...Niko Goodrum.
The equivalent of a lump of coal.
My son got a pack of Astros baseball cards. Thanks for the heads up now I need to screen them like Halloween candy..

I did scratch Roadhouse off the list last week.

We're getting to the point that what we already have is better than what's left. The organization has confidence in Chas, Meyers, and Leon in the OF and Lee/Diaz at C. They got this right with Pena last season..

I recommend everyone prepare emotionally for Lee as the back up catcher to Maldonado. It'll be less disappointing when it happens.
If Lee turns out to be worse than Maldy then you know Dusty will give him more starts.

I'm predicting there was buyer's remorse on part of the Giants, they found a way to pull out of the deal, and Boras picked up the phone and called the Mets and asked them if their offer was still good.

I was thinking of doing 500 miles, just jogging or running. This is a cool concept at well.

Woody's is a great stop for gas and everything you may need as a half way point between Dallas and Houston. Kolaches are solid and you can always get a traditional lunch meat sandwich and chips. Jerky good too, plus clean bathrooms. The BBQ is nothing fantastic but it'll work if.your hungry. As an added bonus, it's not absurd crowded like Bucees, official home of the 40 dollar bathroom break.
But if you expect Franklin BBQ every time you make a pitstop then keep driving I guess.

I hope they give Chas the starting spot and don't screw around with the committee thing. But who am I kidding we all know what Dusty is going to do LOL.
Yordan, Tucker, Chas, Brantley, Meyers, Dubon, and Hensley.. Throw in Pedro Leon and I think we are set on OF.

I rode a 2-prop puddle jumper from Dallas to Amarillo onetime, so this hits close to home.
Did you get there by morning?

That's what the national media seemed to miss in their omg the tanking astros are ruining baseball stories. By the time Crane took over the major league roster and the minors were really, really bad. What was the alternative?
Signing free agents and continuing to be be 10 under .500 in perpetuum.

Vegas going to bank on people betting the dodgers
which AL team has improved the most so far ?
The Rangers have improved but not enough to be relevant for the playoffs.

If the season started tomorrow, who the fuck are our left fielder and backup catcher? Yordan is your every day LF and Lee is our backup C? I don't love either of those.
Catcher- Lee or Diaz
OFs - Tucker, Chas, Yordan, Meyers, Dubon, Hensley

I don’t think people realize that Varsho is just as much a catcher as an outfielder. What are our two biggest needs currently? C and outfielder. Viola! BOGO
True, but for the right package lets do it. 2022 Starting pitchers and BP are off the table if I'm GM.

I would not trade Urquidy or LFG. I think they provide more value than the disparity of talent between Chas and Varsho. They are reliable regular season arms that have a ton of playoff experience and success. Plus, the 6 man rotation is gone..and it's a legit 6 man rotation with proven starters and not some bs with 1 or 2 AAAA guys.
IMO wanting to trade Urquidy/LFG for somebody like Varso is like my 7 year old wanting the cheap plastic dump truck from wal mart when he has several good Tonka's already in his closet.
I'm all for bringing in Varsho, but just for the right price and package and not guys responsible for hauling in the hardware.

I'm going to continue to be optimistic even though the Vasquez miss is frustrating. Maybe there's confidence in our farm catchers.

The love affair this organization has with finished players such as Maldonado, Brantley, and maybe Gurriel is comical.
The price tag may have been way too high for Vasquez. And the latter 2 are still FAs.
-
that is a horrible, awful proposal for Varsho. Out of all the CF's in baseball, the list is very damn limited to whom I would trade Javier for.

Yeah, that's the documentary on the series airing on FS1. The blurays also include all of the WS game broadcasts and the clincher of the ALCS.
I may pull the trigger on this, but you can guarantee I won't be watching games 1 and 3 again.
