  1. Return of machete twitter follies also some dude came on here and started selling Astros trucker hats for $8 apiece, made a killing
  2. Almost like those two franchises being shit ass clown shows didn’t happen by accident
  3. Sure, hold on to him for 2 more magical months of .500 baseball ending up 4th runner up for the wildcard and lose him for nothing out of spite. Or, they’re a bunch of doofuses that are posturing but are eventually going to take the best offer currently on the table, and everyone knows it.
  4. So my current read on Astros-related things based on twitter accounts of actual reporters and mlb live: - only reported connection is talks for Wheeler with the Mets. Competition is supposedly Rays and possibly the Yankees. - Bumgarner situation unclear, Giants gave up a major league reliever for a prospect so may be tentatively selling or standing pat - Oakland picked up Tanner Roark from the Reds, trying to catch the Astros/get that WC spot - D-backs picked up a pitcher in exchange for a prospect (no longer sellers after their talks with Yankees about Ray collapsed?) So there's always the possibility of something coming out of nowhere, but as of now looks like Wheeler or nothing.
  5. well to be fair, it's mostly putt. Putt, is this HR girl real or is it just someone trolling you on twitter?
  6. take it easy, don't do anything crazy
  7. If it comes down to Astros vs Yankees for Wheeler, should the Astros up their offer for the additional benefit of blocking the yankees/costing them more?
  8. Take it easy, Putt. Why don't you sit this next one out, stop talking for a while.
  9. bro, that's a clown account
  10. that supposed tweet wasn't even dated from today (date on the picture of the tweet was 7/30). hard to imagine they were keeping a minor league prospect that far in the loop and yet nothing got out about it for more than a day. edit: yeah, just had a look at Tucker's twitter account and the last time he tweeted anything himself was October of 2018. Only 8 retweets since then. Not exactly a hardcore twitter user. Also "what's good NY" sounds pretty different from all of his other tweets.
  11. so we have 3 people saying they heard it from a friend who was in 31 flavors, but nobody who heard it themselves, and still nothing on Twitter at all about it.
  12. Oakland adding Tanner Roark from the Reds. Still nothing on MLB network or twitter about Wheeler.
  13. yeah, not seeing anything about this anywhere. What's the source for this?
  14. Looks like the Giants are making a trade with the Brewers, getting a shortstop prospect. not sure what the Giants are sending out, so it's not clear what this means in terms of Bumgarner's status. Something to keep an eye on, I guess. edit: not for Bumgarner or Will Smith edit2: for Drew Pomeranz, apparently. So still not sure what it means for buyer/seller status of the Giants.
  15. 2 HBP in a 3 batter span. How is Hurdle still in the game? At least he removed the pitcher, but they certainly should not have the benefit of the doubt- why wasn't there a warning in place at the start of the game? Seems like they should have ejected the pirates pitcher on the first HBP rather than letting him hit another batter a few pitches later, then letting Hurdle take him out instead of ejecting him. but to get this back on track here, would we be satisfied with no moves, if none of the other contenders make any more moves either? Have to admit I have visions of Bumgarner getting blown up by the Dodgers in the series, he's not on a good recent stretch against them.
  16. Rumors of the Yankees going after our old buddy Ken Giles, him coming into a late/close game between the Astros and Yankees in the playoffs would be interesting. yeah, I'd imagine they were wanting something crazy for what are basically the two faces of their franchise. Would have been hard to get value from that. And yeah it's seeming like it's gonna be Wheeler, Ray or nothing at this point. Twitter saying that the Yankees were in talks with the D-backs about Ray but that those talks are now dead.
  17. Haha, pirates just plunked another Cincinnati hitter.
  18. Greinke made his start, currently pitching in the bottom of the second. Gotta think that if there were serious discussions going on, he’d be out of the game.
  19. Well I guess I’m happy for Kemp, going to a potential playoff team over in the NL where I don’t have to root against him. Wonder if this means lower likelihood of Wheeler since the Mets supposedly wanted players who could help at the major league level right away.
  20. Grienke is supposed to start the d-backs game against the Yankees in less than an hour.
  21. What you have to remember is that nobody on here is paying and everyone loves prospects.
  22. I think the straight shooting Cole has done was to say “I’m not going to discuss it, you’re welcome to talk to my agent, Scott Boras, about it any time you want.” which effectively means he’s probably not re-signing with the Astros, so I’m also on board with the Greinke idea. Not as enthused about the Bumgarner possibility, although for a very cheap price I’d say it would be worth taking a shot.
  23. Phone signal? Dude better be set up in the “it’s happening” bunker.
  24. Isn’t he under club control for 2 more years?
