  1. Traded for a minor league pitcher
  2. Pressly’s stuff has declined at a significant rate. His slider and curve used to be above league average pitches in the Stuff plus models. Both of those pitches are below average now and his fastball has never been great.

    Well this deserves a neg
  4. Pena and Altuve should both be told to not do that shit again.
  5. Sac Bunt? Coach Gus in the dugout. WTF?
  6. On his way home from the office, he can stop for a Dilly Bar at DQ.
  7. How does a front office scout for luck? Players that hit the ball harder are almost always better hitters. Top 5 in avg EV this year: Ohtani, O Cruz, Judge, Gunnar and Alonso. The bottom 5 are a group of guys that I’ve never heard of. Interestingly, Altuve is 11th from the bottom in Avg EV this year.
  8. There’s some truth to this. The real metric should be a combination of swinging at pitches in the zone and not swinging at pitches outside the zone. I would guess that’s being tracked somewhere but I haven’t had enough time to go find it.
  9. Come on - Going into 2025, the team had 5 hitters in the lineup with career slugging averages 420 and over. League average slugging last year was 391. The construction of the team is not the problem. The problem is all of the players expected to slug have started horribly. Last year this team was dead last in the majors in pitches seen per at-bat. This year the astros are just below league average in pitches seen. They had a problem and they tried to address it. This team needs Yordan, Diaz and Walker to hit.
  10. Keep it going tomorrow
  11. Dubon yelling back to the Astro’s’ dugout - “Fuck those Surly Assholes”
  12. I’m shocked - It’s Yainer with the big hit.
  13. Yainer can take some terrible ABs.
  14. Is Rogers hurt or does Espada believe Dubon should starts?
  15. Let’s get another W tomorrow.
  16. So they have won a few series lately. As Super Bill Bradley said “We dont give a shit.” Hook ‘em!
  17. Have you purchased a bag of fun size Butterfingers yet? That should be step 1 in your brisket journey.
  18. No it worked as intended- the consultants to the Dems made millions.
  19. It’s funny - when I originally starting buying PLTR, I thought this was a $25-30 stock trading under $10. I’m just happy to be on the rocket this time on the way up.
  20. I’m long PLTR. I acquired my position when it was under $10/share. I’ve sold some during its rise so that my current holdings are essentially free. At this point, I will sell covered calls on significant moves up to generate some premium income for a portion of my shares. The valuation is troubling. however I do believe in its growth prospects and anecdotally, I’m hearing good things about their non-government business.
  21. I won’t believe Javier or Garcia is coming back until they have a minor league rehab start. At this point, I can only assume the Astros are using some discount Tommy John doctor for these guys.
  22. Well, he does wear more makeup than most First Ladies so it seems appropriate.
