  1. I for one celebrate the Astros treatment of the media. I actually think its not harsh enough. They all are on the money train making them out to be the villians, and they all get to eat shit sandwich after shit sandwich... the latest coming when Tucker squeezed that foul bowl of Castellanos's bat last November. 

    Seriously its the same media keeping Sosa, Bonds, Clemens out of the HOF when they capitalized on the enhancements themselves. Then they capitalized again when it was time to tear them all down. Then they sweep the Yankees and Red Sox Apple watch scam under the rug and crucify the Astros whn we have the trash can thing. 

    Its the same media thats going to keep Altuve from being a 1st ballot HOF because of his alleged "role."

    Fuck them. Fuck them all.

    Atlanta.  I thought about going with the Dodgers, but fuck them.

    This. Atlanta is the correct answer. As far as the spin the FO gives the media and fans, its frustrating but does not mean its a bad FO. We can have a well run organization, which we do, and be shitty in media relations. And it all stems from Crane, who I think is an awesome owner. Even Dusty's inability to provide an accurate explanation on Diaz and Chas ABs starts with the culture Crane created.

    Nice comeback.  I had a premonition about Tucker and him extending that AB made it seem inevitable.  He scares me more than anyone else in that lineup.  The kid is a player.

    I will close with one O’s observation.  No way should a SS be playing CF when you’re trying to protect a lead in the 9th.  There were options.

    I missed this..should Alvarez ball been caught by the CF?

    Well this is the Texas hater thread so I couldnt think of a better way to pile on than to share a story about snakes falling from the sky and subsequently being attacked by a bird of prey.

    1)  You jerks are hating on the greatest player of Palauan descent in MLB history

    2)  He's also the worst player of Palauan descent in MLB history

    3)  5-1 when he starts

     

    I just hope we don't look back and regret not having his 31 OPS+ and -0.2 WAR.

     

    We already have the best and worst Honduran in MLB history. He's filling both those quite nicely this season.

    I just want to see him get some play.  He can't fucking do worse than what Julks has done at DH.  

    Hell he may be a disaster and suck ass

    Julks had a really tough game a week or so ago.. He was in a small slump already, and hit like 4 balls on the screws that were caught by the OF.. I'm sure that's contributing to the mental aspect of his slump.. 

    That being said, he can work out of it in AAA by playing EVERYDAY.. Singleton deserves a shot..

    Great dude though.  I'm glad he got a ring with us.

    I took the boy to Chicago to see Wrigley and he was the most excited about Mancini (because Astros) .. We watched the replay of the catch he made off the Schwarber.... We talked about what a great guy he was an all that.. Crazy to think we may have been in person for his last MLB game..
