  1. It appears that the only item which is completely clear is that the family was mostly concerned with ensuring Oher was eligible to play for Ole Miss. 

    It has yet to be seen if they actually received the alleged money from the movie. If he was really part of their family as portrayed, they could have given him a share after his Ole Miss career was over.

  2. I give Dana a pass on Maldonado for this year. I’m certain that Dusty has been provided all the data. They are choosing to start Maldy to avoid the hurt feelings on the starting staff and I’m certain Dusty believes he has final say on the lineups/on-field decisions for the regular season.

    I won’t give Dana a pass if Maldy is brought back next year in any capacity. Go find an Erik Kratz or anyone else. There should be an experienced backup catcher available who can avoid generating negative WAR.

    Are you saying you aren't disappointed in the play on the field for 100+ games and 5 months thus far? And being behind first place in your division wire to wire thus far? 

    Bless your heart. I thought Astros fans expectations were a little higher than moral victories from gambling website projections, but...well...bless your poor little heart.

    It’s telling that you think this is a victory for your fan base. As an Astros fan, you’re dam right I’m disappointed about being only 17 games over 500 and in second place at this point. However, I’ve also seen this team come alive in October when it matters.

    Does Arlington throw parades for being in first place in August?

    Bench will be players already here or from the system 

    Those players have demonstrated that they are at best AAAA players. These are the potential backups on our 40 man roster today:

    Bannon, Dubon, Hensley, Kessinger, Singleton, Julks 

    Others at Sugar Land:

    Leon, Madris, Matijevic, Dirden

    Almost all of those guys have proven that they aren’t competent Major League players. We have at least 3 position players taking spots on the 40 man that no one in baseball wants.

    If Dana doesn’t find something better, that’s going to be on him. I think we learn a lot about him as a GM this off-season.

    Well they are FAs, and I doubt either gets resigned unless it's an under-market deal. All the savings that the Astros get after this season need to be used on Tucker and Framber. I wouldn't even consider a FA bat, because I think Loperfido will be our next Chas. Obviously with the potential for 8 or 9 healthy starting pitchers, you can move two of those guys to the pen, and hope that Montero has a bounce back year.

    I’m hoping we upgrade the bench in this offseason. Watching us run out lineups with 3 non-competitive hitters at a time is depressing.
