  1. If Astros go the trade route, I’m wondering if Stanek would figure into the picture. Doubtful he will ever be better statistically thus value potentially at a premium. He is a free agent after this year and the 7-9 seems to be Montero, Abreu, Pressly now. Martinez is waiting for a spot if he isn’t traded also. Maybe one of the 6 starters moves to pen if we use 5 man rotation. Reliever market seems to have a premium. I haven’t seen it hinted anywhere but just something that occurred to me. Without a “GM” this week will be interesting. Usually a week for creating roster space or trading blocked guys, etc. Let the swap meet begin!
  2. That room is going to look A LOT different by August.
  3. Varsho>Reynolds especially if the Astros sign Contreras with ideas of him spending half the time at DH.
  4. Maybe we should let the UIL run college football. They do it in 6 classes with 2 divisions every year. I can remember reading sometime in the 80s or so, when college teams played 10 games, that the reason for no playoff was kids vacations and tests, etc. and it would be too many games. Now they play 12-15 anyway. It could have been done long ago but the bowls were too powerful. It has never made sense how every division of football known to man has a win and in playoff system except for division one college football.
  5. That Whitley kid is an up and comer.
  6. We should go all in on Reynolds. There are no OF free agents in ‘24 worth pursing except maybe Ian Happ from what I remember. Plugging Brantley in for a year just delays the inevitable. We hope one of our young guys is the next Peña from our system or we go get a guy for the next 3-5 years.
  7. Sorry. On my phone and didn’t realize I’d typed so much. That’s too damn long lol
  8. I’m not sure why we keep trying to put these square pegs in round holes in the outfield. If Contreras isn’t going to be the everyday catcher for the most part then I don’t see the point. We can’t keep getting more unathletic in the outfield. We can’t hide them all in Minute Maids left field. Yordan made some decent plays and throws but he’s probably not going to make the diving athletic catch to save a run or game and neither will Contreras. And I don’t want Yordan out there diving or crashing into walls anyway. And with potentially more ground balls getting through the infield without the shift, being able to run, scoop and throw to keep runners from scoring or taking the extra base will be even more important. Listen, I’m as much of a fantasy baseball GM as anyone and I like having a lineup of 9 guys hitting bombs but defense does matter in real life. Go get a real outfielder if Maldy is going to play everyday. If Contreras is going to DH then we probably will have to carry a third catcher which makes us even more unathletic or give less lineup versatility. Contreras is a great hitting catcher but as an outfielder I’d rather get same production from a guy who can play it. My only other thought is this is some chess/checkers big picture move and Crane sees Contreras the catcher after one more year of Maldy and we’re stocking up for the long run. Maybe that makes sense. We get by this year and we still have Meyers and Leon as young guys than play OF. This stuff is fun on a computer but it’s got to be a rush in real life playing this game. Next week should be a lot of fun at the winter meetings.
  9. Well it was a win.
  10. Finally!
  11. Let him go. Someone show me the difference he made this year. He regressed, got fat and happy or just quit. He is easily replaced.
  12. Gay
  13. Take a fucking shot!
  14. Wow. What a shit show of a second half. Referee was a joke but no excuse for that draw.
  15. F cancer. Prayers for your dad. Lot of good things happening in treatment. Keep the faith.
  16. JV unanimous winner for CY
  17. Longhorns sure do make me miss baseball
  18. We never have any timeouts
  19. He’s a freshman is some of it.
  20. What the fuck. We just scored, stopped them to get ball back and instead of just returning the punt we give them the ball back and then give up a touchdown. Terrible fucking coaching
  21. Sidearm bullshit throws
  22. Don’t worry guys. We’re making second half adjustments.
