    Pretty perfect game to take a three year old to. Was over before he got too bored and got to see a couple homers. Thanks @UTPhil2006 for the suggestion about the first game certificate, had plenty of

    I’m just glad I survived another season of being the official thread starter. Thank you all for your continued support in this emotional time.   In more ways than one with tonight’s result:

Holy shit. Jose Abreu consented to a demotion to WPB to work on his swing and timing. He's off the roster.

I don’t see any chance he ever plays for Houston again.  They will either trade him or release him in the next few weeks.

I predict success for Jon Singleton.

Like Blutarskys GPA those chances are

Medical retirement incoming 

That would be awesome- especially if the contract is insured. I happen to think that’s probably the case btw. His back must be wrecked. 

And they're still managing to somehow play the wrong guy at 1st.

Man, I was so excited when we signed him.  It sucks it didn't work out.

Can he take Bregman with him?

Bregman had his best swing of the season on Sunday. He’s fixed and the Astros are going to win a ton of games in a row. He told espn that so we are good. 

They should send Dana brown to the minors for signing him to that deal. What a fucking terrible signing that was.

Yeah he barreled his first ball in what 300+ pitches? I am proud of him

Salisbury and LaLima were advocating for more time for Abreu just this morning.

Can we petition 790 to remove them? 

Haha. Man I always get excited/anxious when I don’t check the news and come to this thread in the middle of an afternoon and see I missed ~40 posts in the last couple of hours.

what’s happened?

is it good?

nah. Someone’s arm probably fell off. Or someone probably assaulted a female until her fell off. Or entire team is still suffering from Montezuma’s revenge and has forfeited tonight.

 

this time, pleasantly surprised!

That happened before Brown was hired.  It's all on Crane and Bagwell.

Edited by kevwun

Abreu being sent to Palm Beach is a win-win. We'll put a better 1B on the field and there's the small chance Abreu figures something out an gets his shit together. If not then bye Felicia. 

If Dusty was still here, his ass would be starting at 1B until infinity.

Man, I know he's a favorite whipping boy, but fuck, Abreu is a really standup guy.  Respecto20240426_002510.thumb.jpg.4ea10d00dba9a8277eebebbe0a5a02b5.jpg

If I’m Abreu, I’m blaming Mez

Yeah- hopefully the sarcasm was dripping through in my post.  Whatever- cocky Bregman is better than humble Bregman. But I'm not convinced. His head is pretty far up his ass...

It really is weird how erratic Abreu’s decline was.

probably so, but I would rather them just bring up Salazar and let Caratini play more (C, DH, 1B) with Diaz, Yordan, Loperfido all rotating their available positions....Singleton can be the new Kessinger and never play

You don't become this unplayable- even if you are old- without being hurt.  Period.  End of story. He's either nursing an injury that will get better, or more likely refusing to acknowledge that at his age the back stuff he has going on is probably career ending. I do not believe this is age related decline b/c of how terrible it is.

I don’t have for that Sunday but I do have for Saturday the 13th which is a 3:00 pm game. Yours if you want them. Let me know. 

Dm sent. You are awesome.

The smartest thing an Astro player can do is be nice to the media. Other than Astros Twitter, this is a very laid back sports town. Throw them tickets, invite them to charity balls, appear on their shows. 

975 on the drive home was advocating offering Bregman a 3 year contract today to “take the pressure off and keep him from pressing.” You can’t make this shit up if you tried.

What dollar figure were they suggesting should be attached to this extremely generous 3 year offer?

$18 million per year.

790 sucks except for Clanton and Wexler. Payne & Pendergast or John & Lance are the only options for morning drive sports radio in H-town.
