August 3, 20223 yr Damn 69 players got traded today, and the only team not to make a trade was Colorado.
August 3, 20223 yr I really like this deadline by the Astros. Also gave very few prospects including none in the top 5/10( I can't remember if McDermott was top 10).
August 3, 20223 yr 3 minutes ago, rvm96 said: Only draft pick to not sign was 18th round high schooler Isaiah Jackson He was the over-slot back up plan if Clifford didn’t sign.
August 3, 20223 yr I wonder if Tommy Pham and Will Smith will pause and share slap strategies during the pre-game tomorrow?

August 3, 20223 yr Looking at the box score, the Dubon Mancini McCormick Vazquez bench looks way better than two days ago.

August 3, 20223 yr 4 minutes ago, Tommy Nobis said: How much longer do we get to watch Jake be an auto out at the plate? Wulaw is out of town so we can blast away without fear of a 200 word rebuttal.
August 3, 20223 yr 1 minute ago, TonyTexas said: Wulaw is out of town so we can blast away without fear of a 200 word rebuttal. I’ve said for 10 days to 2 weeks he’s shot, not right, and needs to not be part of any plans this year.
August 3, 20223 yr Can we get Brantley a new arm from some prisoner in a country that doesn't respect human rights? Just spitballing here.
August 3, 20223 yr 2 minutes ago, Wulaw Horn said: I’ve said for 10 days to 2 weeks he’s shot, not right, and needs to not be part of any plans this year. Oops. Go play with your kids.

August 3, 20223 yr Just now, David Dennison said: It's August and they know they are going to win the division. It’s like clockwork for this team.

August 3, 20223 yr We need bats. Is the trade line over? Tucker needs to strain something. He needs a 10 day vacation and get his head right.

August 3, 20223 yr 18 minutes ago, perfectchaos007 said: This team is exhausted. They aren't exhausted, they are playing with 2 automatic outs while Altuve and Tucker are in extended slumps. Even with Gurriel riding a hot streak, it's not sustainable. He's producing a .741 OPS with a robust .343 BAbip. No HRs and only 3 BBs in his last 22 games. Gurriel's last HR was July 1st, since the Astros are built to score runs with HRs, having a guy that can't hit them anymore seems to be the wrong decision. Edited August 3, 20223 yr by HtownHorn
August 3, 20223 yr This team is exhausted. So what about the teams in August that win games? They’re not just as exhausted? Gtfo with the excuse.
August 3, 20223 yr I think Blum hates Esch more than me. He doesn't even speak. Telecast drops to like a negative 3 with these two dudes together. TK is senile, but at least its not totally dull and awkward
August 3, 20223 yr Just now, David Dennison said: Exhausted or bored? Depressed from reading the surly thread
August 3, 20223 yr Dusty is going to fuck around and not play Mancini and Christian. That was two perfect pitch hit ABs.
August 3, 20223 yr 9 minutes ago, tx 3 putt said: he has one more minor league rehab start ? Maybe 2. He’s got 30 days from his first one.
August 3, 20223 yr 1 minute ago, UTEX_ME said: Glad we made those moves for no reason at all, what’s the goddamn hold up? Probably the huge division lead, but that's just a guess.
August 3, 20223 yr 1 hour ago, HtownHorn said: Glaring holes? The Astros have gigantic holes at LF, CF, C, and 1B. At this point I would give Leon or Julks a shot over Jake Meyers. You can't game plan around his noodle arm and horrible plate discipline. 1B: Gurriel is hitting well the last 2 months; he is the 2021 batting champion and a clubhouse leader; I wouldn’t call that “glaring” but regardless they went out and got Mancini and Vazquez to upgrade the position. LF: Brantley has a 128 wRC+ on the year; McCormick has been well above average at 111. Again, wouldn’t call that glaring but they addressed it with Mancini. Catcher: it is clear the Astros have a totally different value on defense, gamecalling, and pitcher management than fans (and most other teams). But again, they addressed with Vazquez. CF: With Meyers being hurt this is the only reasonable spot you can say they have a “glaring” hole. But McCormick has been well above average here. And even with a gimpy arm and obvious rust Meyers grades very well on defense and merely bad (not horrible) on offense. If you assume he just needs a couple of weeks to get healthy and into a groove then this wouldn’t be viewed as a glaring hole. But even if it is, what would you have had Click do? Give up Luis Garcia for Harrison fuckin Bader? No star CF got moved. To beat out SD for Soto it would have taken something suicidal like Garcia, Javier, Brown, Leon, Whitley, and Diaz, and even that probably would not have beaten out the haul Washington got. Who knows what the asking prices for Mullins and Reynolds and Happ were but they were high enough that no other team pulled the trigger. So I guess it’s something to whine about but it doesn’t appear there was any realistic alternative to standing pat other than getting raped. Edited August 3, 20223 yr by Snake Diggity
August 3, 20223 yr Bregs’ kid was born at 7:08 last night odds he was in front of the tv at 7:12 for the first pitch of last night’s game?
