We should have tried harder to resign framber before the season started

Just to give y’all a heads up on Evan. Evan is actually one of my best friends and he is struggling right now with chronic kidney failure. He was in the hospital in Denver last week and had two chest stints installed in his right pectoral area for dialysis. Doctors said he’ll need two new kidneys eventually, sooner than later. Evan is not on drugs nor alcohol. As long as I’ve known him he’s always eaten clean and continued to exercise. His two main addictions in life after baseball are golf and skiing. I have no clue what caused the Twitter outburst, y’all please keep him in your prayers. 

Bryce Elder fucks. Damn, he's been lightening since he got called up last year.

He would be killing inattentive fans in the upper deck bleachers.

that will be the real test.

if yordan (or trout, or vlad, or schwarber) had ~50 homers heading into the last month, would they get those balls too?

So, for some of you who have been dooming about this team, after Sunday and Monday I came up with the following:

win 2 out of every 3 of Brown, Framber and Javier starts

Split the Urquidy and Garcia starts.

That's a 97 win season.  Conceptualizing it like that seems doable.

OH lord- this lineup tonight. Blah.  

Meyers, Maldy and Dubon at the ass end. 

Can we hire the A team to kidnap Meyers?

Doesn't make a shit when Javier and the bullpen throw a shutout.

To be fair, Dubon has actually been hitting really well lately. I'd say continue to play him while he's hot (especially because he's going to play even if he's not, unfortunately).

Fun with Numbers

Yordan has an OBP of .444

Meyers has an OPS of .481

Bregman has an OPS of .471

I mean he does nothing else above average, he's horrible at hitting, he's horrible at blocking pitches, he's ok at throwing runners out and he's an average pitch framer.

Below average pitch framer. This is part of why the astros are always on the wrong end of horsefuckery by the umps.  That can't happen if he's an average framer.

Are we sure Yordan's OBP is going to go down much?  If Abreu doesn't start hitting the ball over the wall I kind of feel like it won't.... 

Abreu's power numbers dropped down last year and it's continuing so far this year so if goes on much longer, it's just how it is.  Chas has the 3rd highest SLG on the team right now.  The Astros honestly can't afford to keep his bat out of the lineup.

Yeah but last year that crazy asshole in Chicago brought in a hitting instructor who wanted to make sure that the sox hit less HR for reasons, and Abreu's exit velo's and the like were all similar to career averages his launch angle was just down.  So, the hope was getting away from that nonsense he'd bounce back. IF he doesn't it's going to be a long 3 years on that contract.

Yeah, that's a great case for why he should be in the organization in an off the field role, not catching 100+ games.

MLB.com should have consulted the surly thread on that article 😂😂😂

Y'all keep talking shit about Bregs!

Marwin actually could hit extra base hits

Dubon is the new Marwin. Fight me.

He’s leading the team in batting average and it’s not even close.

It’s a ducking puff piece organizations have their mouthpieces put out because the player is catching heat. The fact that this article exists and was written is bad news for Maldonado.

He can but that isn't what Marwin did
