This. The Royals acquired Benitendi for a bag of Skittles. I doubt the Red Sox would trade with the Astros, but they should have been involved. 

I think the cost will be more than the Royals paid, but keeping him away from the Yankees would be the best part.

Meh on Benintendi. We have him and his name is Michael Brantley

He was a shitty CF for some of his first four years, so there's always that!

Yeah I was curious why we need another mediocre defensive Lf that’s doesn’t hit the ball out of the yard when we already have that on lockdown. 

Classic Astros thread trade scenario that will never happen

Benintendi will end up a Yankee, let's hope the Royals milk them for all their worth. The Yankees won't be able to resist one of the key reasons the Astros lost the 18 ALCS. 

That diving catch against Bregman still pisses me off

It may be one of the reasons the Yankees jettison their farm talent for a slightly above average outfielder.

Not as much as Joe West’s fan interference call.

This comment opened up an old wound.  I was in RF with my son at that game.  We were in row 3.  The fan that interfered was about 8 seats down from us.  Damn you Joe West.

Thank god that cocksmoker retired and can no longer rig games

Last update had Yordan trailing Ohtani for DH starter. You have until 1pm to vote. It’s  a travesty that it’ll  probably too little, too late  

 

Drinking my coffee, looking over box scores ….. it’s a damn great morning to be an Astros fan. 
 

It’s going to be a hell of a second half of the season. Can’t wait to see what the playoffs bring. 

Seattle has won 8 of their last 10. In that span, they went from 12 GB to 13 GB.

Currently projected to be the only other AL West team with a shot at finishing above .500. Pesky little buggers actually have a non-negligible chance of nabbing a playoff spot. We need to punch them in the mouth when we play them 7 of the final 10 games of July.

I'd prefer to avoid last season's scenario where we go into the final 15 games of the season with a magic number of like 4 and it takes until game 159 to actually clinch.

I was looking at league leaders and average launch angle is an interesting stat. Yordans average launch angle is 12.2 feet and Judges is 13.4 feet. The league leader is Mike Trout with 24.4 feet. Kyle Tucker is number 7. If Yordan could get some those ground balls he barrels into the shift into the gap he would be even more unstoppable.

Seattle is only 3 games back for that wild card spot. That’s their goal 

Just to save people the time the answer to the question is McClanahan. On the positive side he does speak highly of Verlander.

 

 

 

Not bashing your post, just the talk in general.  

People claiming who MVP and Cy Young/ROY etc. is right now is so fucking dumb.  We are halfway through the season.  Shit changes weekly.   If Ohtani has 3 more outings in a row like he has been having he will jump to the front of the line.  Judge has already came back to the pack of 3 or 4 guys.  Pena has fallen off and been passed by Julio Rodriguez.  

I get it...I just think it is stupid lol

I hear ya, in the video though they try not to be like that by asking him who his favorite is to win. Also it's a betting thing so you kind of have to pick someone.

Awards, all star games, hr contest, batting line ups in the middle of the season, who plays where, who’s resting in the middle of August, it’s all dumb and idgaf. Finish in the top 2 so we can stack our pitching, and win that World Series Ring.
 

Every other team at this point in the season, they’re about to make moves with the thought of facing us in a 7 game series. Fucking bring it. 
 

(I do care greatly about some of these bats continuing their upward trend)

As long as he’s in the bottom third of the lineup I am not gonna complain. 

Altuve made AL starter. Yordan did not

They should tape that to Yordan's locker and he'll just punish every pitcher for the rest of the year.

I don’t think there’s an offensive category that Ohtani is ahead of Yordan in.

Strike outs ?

I’m not surprised since Ohtani is the best baseball player since Babe Ruth

I'm sure all the people voting for all-star starters really crunched the numbers

I'm surprised Ohtani wasn't fighting it out with Judge for top vote-getter. He must not pull from overseas the way Yao did.

No Peña because… reasons?

edit: sounds like a cold.

Another annoying early-game ambush by a bad opponent. Pick it up, Jose.
