    I also like that theres none of those stickers on the rear fender.  Way classier this way. Did you have them removed?

    At least Cleveland getting those players is better than Arlington claiming two or three pitchers

    Arlington could have absolutely used those pitchers. I guess Cleveland came first in the waiver order; not sure how all that works

    Waivers isn’t a major transaction. That’s what you don’t get.

    Its big enough to let a player and/or his agent know.. Somebody dropped the ball for ESPN to find out first.

     

    In other news, I picked up Jasson on my fantasy team based on you hyping him up.. We shall see.

    What a totally unbiased source. 
     

    Waivers isn’t the same as being released or traded or sent down and that author has no idea what the fuck they’re talking about. No team would sit a player down and say “we’re placing you on waivers”. That’s like sitting them down and saying “hey you’re probably not going anywhere but there’s a chance you might. And even we don’t know where”.  Not surprised an idiot like you ate that up.

    So the media finds out major transactions before the players? OK. And of all the shit you have eaten up the past few years, the idiot comment is pretty rich.

    But Bader didn’t learn of his fate in a traditional way. Instead, the 29-year-old revealed he found out he was being waived by catching a glimpse of a television.

    “I was in the lunchroom. Saw it on ESPN,” Bader told reporters following New York’s win over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday, per YES Network video. “I guess it popped somehow on there. So, that’s how I found out.”

  7. Not liking a player because of their talent level is pretty bush league IMO. Not liking them because they're an asshole is entirely different. 

    I didn't ever hate Ausmus and Everett, just the free inning the opposing pitcher got when he faced them in the 7-8-9 part of the lineup. 

    I also didnt hat Carlos Lee.. I hated that era of Astros baseball for sure though. 

  8. My 9 year old son is obsessed with the Astros. He watches the games, plays with them on MLB the Show, youtube highlights every morning, ect... 

    When he acts up, wife punsihes him by taking away all Astros media for a week. I'm working with her to try to find a consequences that don't punish me as well.

    I’d still try to extend Bregman, assuming he’d sign a reasonable deal. He’s almost certainly never going to have another season like ‘18 or ‘19. You also won’t have to pay him like that.

    He’s probably mostly like what he’s done this season, which may feel disappointing, but he’s going to finish up at around 3.5 WAR and he’s probably a 3-4 win player for each of  the next several seasons, 10-20% better than league average offensively. Who would you rather have at 3B? There probably isn’t a solution in the farm system by 2025, so you’re looking at signing a FA anyway, or acquiring someone via a trade, which generally means losing controllable assets; more often than not I’d rather they just spend money. 

    This. And Altuve has to be a lifetime Astro as well. Hopefully both are reasonable contracts.

    A big fuck you to the Angels for deciding they need to rest Ohtani’s arm during the Ranger series. Not trading him was one of the dumbest decisions in the history of baseball, but what do you expect from the fucking Angels. What a joke of a franchise. 

    Has to be the worst francise to he a fan of. What's worse? Pirates? Rockies?
