Call me wacky, but the Astros are about to be overloaded with Starting pitching. How bout we trade one of those for that lefty hitting outfielder or even prospects?

I would absolutely trade any of our starters in the right deal for prospects. That includes Framber. The value would just have to be right. I realize I’m all alone on an island with that.

Hoooo boy. That value would have to be really high. 
3.5 years of club control at short money for a guy I think is an ace. 
I’d need 2 top 50 and a top 100. I can’t imagine anyone doing that. Maybe Milwaukee?  They have like 8 top 100 guys, they’d love all that club control and they are legit WS contenders right now. They have that stud that he could be a tentpole for. 
I’d really have to swallow hard if they offered that. I suspect they wouldn’t.

Holy shit. I thought melton was going to be 9/1, not 8/1. 
that’s promising. Nice to see Hummel fuck right off forever. Maybe they just trade Chas for nothing much at the deadline.

So- let’s say the pirates called up and said- we are trading Paul Skenes what’s your offer…

would you offer: Melton, Matthews, Arrighetti and Ullola?  
personally I wouldn’t do it if I were houston. Pittsburgh would say no. I think any discussion for Hunter Brown would look a lot like that.

That's not enough for Paul Skenes.

That’s why I said pirates would say no. But, i also would say no. I’m incredibly high on Arrighetti and Ullola. I think it’s likely that between Matthews and melton 1 guy will be an all star type and the other would be a major league regular. 
if you are the pirates and you knew you were getting a 2, a guy that was either TOR or back end of bullpen and a 4 or 5 WAR player and a 2 or 3 war player up the middle you’d have to do that, right?  Since they need quantity of average to really good major leaguers for free. 
 

how about this- who says no to Cam Smith, Ullola and Arrighetti?

Trammell staring that down instead of running cost him a 2B. Don't understand why players are so fucking lazy in this generation. Just fucking run.

Combination of bad luck, bad defense and unclutch hitting

Incredibly unlucky outing for Alexander. 5 dink hits out of 8- short not catching the stolen base that the ball beat him to score the first run. Fucked uo double okay to let in last 2 runs. 
he’s also gotten a fair bit of swing and miss.

You forgot to blame Joe Espada.

In el paso so far:

melton 2-2 with a single and a double. 107 mph and 111 exit velo. 
Javier with 2 ip and 1 run, 2 hits. He’s thrown a lot of strikes but only 2  swing and misses. He’s 93/94 on his fastball.

just tuned in... why are we losing to oakland?

Well it starts with the fact that Jon Singleton is in the lineup, and goes downhill from there.  Oh, and a meh outing by a pitcher just called up

this team plays up and down to its competition so bad... we're gonna get swept by the A's, aren't we?

Oakland is our kryptonite. When they make the playoffs in fantasy land we are fucked. Making sevo look like a god. We are rolling out a aaa pitcher and lineup.

Melton hit a 102 mph line drive out in his 3rd AB. He seems ready. 
I’m guessing off day tomorrow, plays CF 2 day, DH’s the other day and is in houston on Monday. 
Chas traded for a lotto ticket sometime before melton comes back or Hummel is DFA’d.
 

javier 2 2/3. 50 pitches. 1 run. 2 hard hit balls. Only 2 swing and misses. Walked last 2 guys he faced.

Value for a true ace (how I value Framber) at the deadline is top 50, good prospect, lotto ticket. 
if someone gave me the Tucker package I’d do it in a heartbeat.

The two things in the entertainment world I hated most about Covid:

cancelled a Tyler Childers and Sturgill Simpson show I had tickets to at the Erwin Center that was never re-scheduled and

A’s being the AL West champs in a 60 game season breaking up what would otherwise be an 8 year division championship streak (assuming we kicked it in gear and stopped fucking around playing .500 ball all year)
