Go ahead and trade him to the Blue Jays. She's Canadian. Get Giminez and Loperfido.

Grew up a huge Astros fan in San Antonio, and have always lived in SA and Austin… so I’m not terribly familiar with the Houston sports personalities.

Recently stumbled onto the Stone Cold Stros channel on YouTube, with Charlie Pallilo, Brandon Strange, and Josh Jordan.  Is the feeling among Houstonians that these guys know what they’re talking about?  More than the Locked On Astros guys, I’m guessing?

(Acknowledging that nothing beats Breathing Orange Fire, of course…)

Pallilo was always fun to listen to when I still listened to AM radio. He didn’t suffer fools easily, whether they were callers, guests, or just athletes/celebs in stories of the day. 

That said, he pretty much could never admit when he was just wrong, and he loved having the last word on a caller who disagreed with him by cutting them off, hanging up on them and talking down to them when they couldn’t respond. 

He was famously dismissive of Altuve as a major league prospect while he was putting up big numbers in the minors. People would call in and ask about him being called up and Pallilo would say he wished they would call him up so he could flop and people would stop asking about him. I assume he did a mea culpa at some point, but I never heard it.

His catch in Philly will always be remembered.

Astros go down 2-3 in that series if it wasn't for Chaz and Mancini. They saved Ryan Pressly's ass.

I don't get Stros info as much as I used to but got a couple notes 

  • Everyone expects JV to come back on a 1 +1 deal (or straight one year with a wink and nod). He pitched well in the 2H, and honestly worth it for the innings 
  • Stros and Pirates have talked Mitch Keller for Christian Walker swap. Honestly, this makes too much sense IMO, Keller is definitely someone I could see the Astros sprinkling some fairy dust on
  • Zac Gallen is the main "Upper tier" arm target but kicked the tires on King, Cease and still kicking them with Suarez but that is unlikely
  • Christian Vazquez is an option at backup C if Caratini signs elsewhere

The radio guys the other day were talking about Paredes being traded instead of Walker because we could actually get something for Paredes. But they said it was because the lineup just can't fit all of these guys and it just doesn't work. I'm curious if they even watched any of the games last season and if they are aware we had 28 guys hit the IR. Assuming everyone is healthy at the same time (lulz) Isaac, Correa, Yordan, and 'Tuve can all rotate at the DH to make it work.... and they'll have to do this for like 5 minutes until someone inevitably gets injured again.
