If we won today and extrapolated our winning percentage against the Yankees this year over 162 games we’d win 115 games. That seems low, right? 

You have to do it by innings led...show me a loss?!

No. Besides the power that’s the most impressive thing about them (offensively) I think. 
we going to see Bielak today for 3 or 4 innings?  

They are a collection of lumbering oafs in the field.  Yeesh.

Yeah. Adding Soto wouldn’t help that either. I mean, it would be worth it obviously offensively but it doesn’t help the other side. 
they really should have signed Correa and Springer and gotten 2 way studs up the middle. 
not sure what the point in having all that money is if you let the guys who buttfucked you for years, that play positions of need for you, end up signing for good but not huge money in Toronto and Minnesota of all places.

Yuli has fallen off a cliff offensively but his defense has also gotten worse. All that said- if you look around the diamond most days we are average or better at 7 or 8 of the positions defensively. 

Fuck the notion of Springer playing for the evil empire.  There is still good in him.

I don’t know how the MVP can be anyone other than Ohtani, unless you want to just eliminate him bc he is an Angel and they suck, but if it’s not a Ohtani fuck Judge- he can’t carry Yordans jock at the plate.

Dafuq is Yordan swinging at?

Yea, he had decided to swing before the sign was even given.

i want judge to win it to drive up his next contract and it'll give @Helobious something to celebrate / cry about

Whatever WAR defensive numbers they have showing Peña ahead of Carlos must be fundamentally broken. He’s not a great defensive SS (yet?) man.

There's some things you still have to rely on eyes for.

Good job getting through 5. 

He got through the last 2 innings pretty clean I would certainly send him out to start the 6th

Only 44 career appearances for Bielak?   Feels like he has been in more often than that. 

That’s another fucking strike dickhead. I can’t wait for the automatic strike zone. If the yanks score here it should be an unearned run charged to the umpire. 

Didn't Pena go to Maine? They are the Black Bears. He's the mystery Astro

He did. Yes.

Chas>Jake>Siri. Sorry Wulaw 

Recency bias.  Jake is much better.

They are actually damn close if you look at stats.  Jake has 50% of Chas’ WAR in 40% of games played.  Slight advantage Jake.  So I was incorrect in saying “much” better.

I’m not opposed to Chas. I thought he should be in a strict platoon with Brantley for a while now. Let’s let Jake get fully reintegrated before we make any definitive statements. 
Siri is a weapon as the 26th man in the playoffs on the basepaths and as a defensive replacement. That should be the extent of his contribution to the team (and injury fill in). 

Judge got totally screwed in that at bat NTTAWWT

It would be amazing if bielak could go multiple innings 

All whiff!

plus, he has some lightning in his bat to go with epic batflip potential. purely instinctual on my part but Siri has some fairy tale scripts ahead of him imo. 

Everyone in the Astros sleeps on Bielak. I think I’m the only person that ever mentions him (maybe @Snake Diggity too). 
You cannot convince me that he couldn’t be the spare guy that comes in and pitches 120 innings a year for guys that get hurt without burning it all down. 
his existence makes me ok with trading Urquidy if we could get something valuable for Urquidy. He’s a poor man’s Urquidy. That should have some value for the org and make it so you don’t have to spend 10 million a year on a guy like Odo as your insurance policy.

That’s pretty amazing considering Red Sox/Yankee history.  

C’mon, Yordan. Been a while since we’ve seen the Chapman grinch face.
