  1. Yeah, so he gets an extra year for $16M, seems like a decent deal for both parties if they are happy. Reduces his figure from $44M to $33M, unless I don't understand the extension correctly, which happens all the time. The NBA salary cap was invented to give accountants that got tired of tax season a full year of work.
  2. We need a better more consistent bench. Tate, Whitmore, and Landale can be improved.
  3. Yet right. Green shit all over himself in the 2nd half. He’s the worst starter on the team, he does nothing when he isn’t making shots. Fucking Luke Kennard out played him tonight.
  4. He’s also falling tripping all over himself and turning the ball over on top of taking horrible shots.
  5. Eason with the high basketball IQ play, after Thomason’s huge rebound.
  6. Green shitting all over himself this half.
  7. Seattle caved all over Polanco. That contract is horrible.
  8. Maybe you shouldn't make blanket stupid statements that are easily rebuked and then cry about it when it is brought to your attention. All of those pitchers were cheap international signings that took place under Luhnow. All of them have outproduced what any of the "talent" evaluators ever expected for them. You could have easily said that it doesn't appear that the Astros have had the same success they did in international signings from the early Luhnow years, and everyone would have agreed with you, but then again that also would not be a good way to evaluate results.
  9. Urquidy, Valdez, Garcia, and Javier disagree.
  10. Poor Astroworld.
  11. Fox makes little sense, because the Rockets are keeping Van Vleet for the duration of his deal. Ime loves him. The guys that are available that make the most sense for the Rockets would be Williams, Johnson, and Lonzo Ball.
  12. Reds signed Austin Hays today for 1-$5M. I'd reach out to see if we could get Benson on the cheap. Perfect guy to platoon in RF.
  13. Shouldn't we count Dominguez as one of us considering the bomb he hit in MMP.
  14. I am sure the Hero Kanu commitment, especially when he didn't even give them the time of day, will bring some lulz today.
  15. Or you could pocket that money over the next six years and get a longterm deal done with Brown and/or Framber. We have replaced Bregman's offensive production twofold in Paredes and Walker. What we don't need is Altuve or Paredes playing LF, instead go sign a real MLB caliber OF to play LF or at least compete with the OFs already in the org.
  16. You 100% build this team around Amen and Sengun. Green is a trade chip after this season to add another more consistent rotational player.
  17. Spiers, Truby, Berry, Ensberg and Walling as well.
  18. He finished Top-10 5 times and 11th another time. Considering their is only 1 MVP for the entire league, Top 10 is nothing to sneeze at, but if you told me today that Thompson would become a HOF'er I think everyone on this thread would take it. What is interesting is how their 1st two years have been very similar.
  19. He'd likely be in the top 10 but clearly behind Altuve, Biggio, Bagwell, Wagner, and Ryan.
  20. Lulz at Bregman thinking he can strongarm the Astros into a better contract. I would tell Boras that every week that passes, he loses a year and $5M.
  21. Nah, the key to the season so far was Thompson taking over in the starting lineup for an injured Smith. Amen will be the unquestioned team leader next season, and is likely the star we have been after. He can guard 1-5 and has high level basketball IQ on both offense and defense. If he ever gets it to 33% and 80%, he's a MVP level player. Would love to see Thompson, Whitmore, Eason, Smith, and Sengun on the floor together.
  22. Johnson and Williams would make this team very deep.
  23. What a great day for basketball. UT storms back to beat aggy after trailing by 22. UH beats God's gift in 2OT in Lawrence. Rockets hold on to beat sweep the best in the Association, 2-0 in back to back.
  24. This Oregon vs. Minnesota game is horrible for the eyes.
