July 5, 20223 yr Hopefully Odo can recapture what he had going when he got hurt. He was suddenly (and shockingly) dealing when he hit the IL. I don't really look for it, but that at least showed he's capable of putting together multiple strong innings. If he could get back to that, it sure would improve our chances of dealing him for value.
July 5, 20223 yr Took our LL team to game yesterday. What a comeback and then finish!! That HR was an absolute bomb. Just crazy. Great time had by all. Dusty got bailed out for his decision to sit Verlander.
July 5, 20223 yr I was just looking at random Astros players stats and ended up on JV's page. If he hadn't gotten hurt he would be a lock for 300 career wins. Here's to hoping he can get win totals in his 40s similar to the big unit.
July 5, 20223 yr putting aside correa's clubhouse presence, team leadership, and undoubted clutch abilities (i know those aren't really measurable but you can't tell me it's coincidental), here is an objective look at his side-by-side offensive statline with pena's. correa - 259pa, 9hr, 29rbi, 35r, .291/.363/.461 pena - 244pa, 11hr, 30rbi, 35r, .278/.329/.475 don't know their defensive numbers but pena has been impressive, and we don't really know what he'll be like in the postseason. considering the salaries and flexibility we're looking at moving forward, hard not to see this as a huge win for our scouts/front office who said pena was ready. and correa will probably opt out or sign a big extension with the twins, which is shit we didn't want to deal with.

If Pena hits in the playoffs this is a slam dunk no doubt about it huge win for the organization. If he's overmatched, unread or shits down his leg then that's a problem, obviously. Pena has been a lot better than what I thought he would be. Other than some careless errors that come with being young I'm sure he's been all you could want.
July 5, 20223 yr Got 2 sets of 2 tickets tonight. First one who wants 2 that PM's me are yours. As always, free. As always, please just claim them if you actually are planning on going. I could sell them myself but am trying to give them away.

July 6, 20223 yr Someone explain to the kid that he’s in scoring position standing on 1B when Yordan is at the plate. like that steal a lot more if its Bregman with 2 outs as opposed to Yordan with 1 out. great tag. He still didn’t look out to me. Edited July 6, 20223 yr by Wulaw Horn
July 6, 20223 yr Whoever wanted to trade for Melendez on this thread I've got something to tell you. Good luck with that.
