  • This postseason has become more sentimental for me and my wife's family.  My father in law is the biggest Astros fan I know.  He watches every game without fail, even DVRing them if he can't watch liv

Might be high for a DH, but seems an overall bargain in today's MLB. 

I thought it was a law we couldn’t do a contract longer than 5 years?

glad to see that’s not actually a thing. Now get Tucker done (narrators voice- they aren’t getting Tucker done). 

Just keep those knees healthy!

It's only 3 free agent years.  We've done these type of extensions before, as you know.

Lock up Ted next.

Man i am gonna have a raging boner for a week. Yordan is easily my favorite Astros player behind Altuve and there isn't much of a gap for me there. Dude is such a beast. Glad I will get to see him up close and personal through 2028.

Crane, has taken this franchise next level. Two good gm’s, a minor league system pumping out prospects, some damn good scouting. He just needs to be improve $1 hot dog night

what a hell of an owner 

If all goes well at the end of that contract Yordan should be pushing for 2nd behind bagwell in all time Astros home runs

Will never happen. They can figure out analytics and all kinds of shit, but the logistics of selling hot dogs are above their mental capacities

Crane is printing money, too. He makes nearly $750K a season from every company that is advertising behind home plate, and they only get 1/2 an inning.

bring back the stand behind the Crawford boxes. Mustard and relish pump stations by ALL hot dog stands !!!!!

Judge breaking it off in the Yankees after this season, is now even funnier 

What is it that you are supposed to do if your erection lasts longer than four hours?

That fucking Coke Zero radio ad makes me want to jam a barbecue fork in my ears. I don't understand how a team of well-paid pros can make an ad so stupid.

She pauses speaking before he even cracks the bottle cap off!

there should be a delay *after* that happens.

 

and don’t get me started on the fucking blue bell commercial this year. I didn’t think it was possible for anything to be worse than last year’s…. But then again, never underestimate the suck of aggy.

He’s already pushing for 2nd behind bagwell in all time Astro trades

You know I love you dawg but what difference does it make. It’s still a 6 year commitment. 
the real reason we did it that way is total money which is all my argument has ever been. Buying out arb years is cheaper than FA. That’s why they did it. They would do a 20 year contract if the number was right. They just are couching it in years when it’s really about total dollars. 
This contract is fantastic for both parties imo. 
astros get a bargain. Yordan mitigates risk of injury and gets generational money. 
So happpy this got done.

Keep edging

I hope there is a requirement that Yordan participate in winter ball, focusing exclusively on playing first base. 

I just hope he continues to mash the fucking ball

These numbers help illustrate how great a deal this is for the Astros. They might actually be saving money on the 1st 3 years vs what they would have to pay in arbitration. Getting him for 3yr/$78M for his prime FA years seem a bargain.

It makes a big difference. Because of our philosophy, if we let a player get to free agency, he's gone unless he will agree to a contract no longer than five years. 

And I'm fine with that.

We have a core in place, with young players still feeding the machine (Pena, Mayer, Jones, Chas, brown, Martinez, Lee, Siri…). And plenty of pieces left to make a move or two. 
 

i have a feeling they’ll revisit Tucker

He didn't help himself with his old man yelling at clouds routine whenever advanced metrics came up.

That always was weird to me.  Because the metrics crowd would have gone apeshit over Morgan's game.  

If they could get a similar deal done with Tucker, it would be incredible that they keep getting these amazing talents during their peak years at below market rates. Just keep that Caribbean and South American farm system churning!
