When will Espada fucking learn to bunt with shitty hitters.

He is just now mastering how to properly fill out a line up card to include the correct pitcher and how to buy plane tickets on line.

All 3 AL division leaders are tied in the loss column

Yep.  After all of the angst over the past couple of weeks, no one in MLB is more than a game better than the Astros at this point.

Dana says they expect Paredes and Meyers back in August. I absolutely do not believe him.  Very vague on those guys. He was much more specific on the other guys. 
I had pens back in the Nats series, might kiss that by a series but should be soon. Yordan maybe 8/5-8/10. 
sounded like Arrighetti and Javier were 2 or 3 starts away pain free.

Oh sure, piss on our hopes with those last two words.  That is the Holy Grail of recovery for Astros fans in just one of the 17 lost souls on the IL.

He didn't say which August.

I mean, you right.  He left the door open to say that when August 2025 comes and goes.

"Oh, did you assume I meant this August? Well that's on you"

he doesn't want to win manager of the year by a landslide, wants to keep it close and build up some suspense

I know they are talking about “Robo-umps”

Can we not do a “Robo-Mgr” and just plug all (edit-had originally said GM, mean manager)

players and their stats into an AI model and just spit out lineups, bullpen rotation and situational hitting calls? 
 

Can’t be any worse than this dude

You referring to the GM who has a roster with 17 players on the IL and somehow has cobbled together enough talent to have a lead in division?

Oh,  I am not completely certain that most of the things you referenced in your 3rd line are decisions making by the manager and the coaching staff and not the GM.

Fairly certain no one on this board foresaw that lineup for the Astros in July and I call bullshit if anyone claims there would be a better chance of Brice Matthews hitting in the 5-spot for a MLB division leader than Yordan Alvarez.

please talk more shit about this line up 

pick up the pace  

the other day, the tv crew said Trammel had never hit 5th in a lineup before.

Joe says hold my beer!

The thing about it though is every one of those guys except Chas and Whitcomb, so far, have had their big moment in the spotlight. They will all be able to say they actually contributed this year and not just sat on the bench and were “on the Astros”. If Astros somehow smoke and mirror their way to the World Series, teams will be trying to sign Trammell just for the juju.

Joe just keeps lighting explosives with progressively shorter fuses. It's as if he's obsessed with finding out where the absolute escapable limit is. At most, we have to be within a few millimeters of it today.

If my roster was decimated by injuries, I would probably make adjustments to the off day schedule to make sure 2 regulars weren't out of the lineup on the same day.

Especially if one is 24
