  1. Yessir. and Jin texted me about 5 minutes after the article was posted about Gerald young. Damn it.
  2. Indeed. as to the tweet we are now AAAA astros 1 game back of being best team in AL ☹️
  3. Melton hit a 102 mph line drive out in his 3rd AB. He seems ready. I’m guessing off day tomorrow, plays CF 2 day, DH’s the other day and is in houston on Monday. Chas traded for a lotto ticket sometime before melton comes back or Hummel is DFA’d. javier 2 2/3. 50 pitches. 1 run. 2 hard hit balls. Only 2 swing and misses. Walked last 2 guys he faced.
  4. In el paso so far: melton 2-2 with a single and a double. 107 mph and 111 exit velo. Javier with 2 ip and 1 run, 2 hits. He’s thrown a lot of strikes but only 2 swing and misses. He’s 93/94 on his fastball.
  5. I mean, Espada hasn’t fucked this game up yet.
  6. Incredibly unlucky outing for Alexander. 5 dink hits out of 8- short not catching the stolen base that the ball beat him to score the first run. Fucked uo double okay to let in last 2 runs. he’s also gotten a fair bit of swing and miss.
  7. That’s why I said pirates would say no. But, i also would say no. I’m incredibly high on Arrighetti and Ullola. I think it’s likely that between Matthews and melton 1 guy will be an all star type and the other would be a major league regular. if you are the pirates and you knew you were getting a 2, a guy that was either TOR or back end of bullpen and a 4 or 5 WAR player and a 2 or 3 war player up the middle you’d have to do that, right? Since they need quantity of average to really good major leaguers for free. how about this- who says no to Cam Smith, Ullola and Arrighetti?
  8. So- let’s say the pirates called up and said- we are trading Paul Skenes what’s your offer… would you offer: Melton, Matthews, Arrighetti and Ullola? personally I wouldn’t do it if I were houston. Pittsburgh would say no. I think any discussion for Hunter Brown would look a lot like that.
  9. Holy shit. I thought melton was going to be 9/1, not 8/1. that’s promising. Nice to see Hummel fuck right off forever. Maybe they just trade Chas for nothing much at the deadline.
  10. Hoooo boy. That value would have to be really high. 3.5 years of club control at short money for a guy I think is an ace. I’d need 2 top 50 and a top 100. I can’t imagine anyone doing that. Maybe Milwaukee? They have like 8 top 100 guys, they’d love all that club control and they are legit WS contenders right now. They have that stud that he could be a tentpole for. I’d really have to swallow hard if they offered that. I suspect they wouldn’t.
  11. Value for a true ace (how I value Framber) at the deadline is top 50, good prospect, lotto ticket. if someone gave me the Tucker package I’d do it in a heartbeat.
  12. I would absolutely trade any of our starters in the right deal for prospects. That includes Framber. The value would just have to be right. I realize I’m all alone on an island with that.
  13. Perspective on that lineup from yesterday. https://medium.com/@breathingorangefire_71114/who-are-these-guys-how-did-we-get-to-where-we-are-at-fa4111f19fad
  14. No. That’s Sydney. I’ve met him like 2X in 15 years and PM’d twice ever.
  15. How did the speeding ticket go. That’s the main thing here.
  16. Holy fucking shit. If we don’t score here after Walker was on 2B and didn’t score on the Yainer double I will kill someone.
  17. we are getting shut out. I'm just glad we didn't end up getting no hit or had a perfect game shoved up our ass. 3-3 road trip with all the injuries isn't bad. 4 with the A's and 3 with the Nationals- you'd like to think that was 6-1 or 5-2 incoming, but we will see I guess. Literally was typing mine as you were typing yours.
  18. Dana says they expect Paredes and Meyers back in August. I absolutely do not believe him. Very vague on those guys. He was much more specific on the other guys. I had pens back in the Nats series, might kiss that by a series but should be soon. Yordan maybe 8/5-8/10. sounded like Arrighetti and Javier were 2 or 3 starts away pain free.
  19. Yeah there just wasn’t any service time related reasons not to do it (he’s not super 2- and if he sucks you send him down and just wait a month next year to steal that 7th year like they did with Tucker. and- I literally said- maybe he sucks and strikes out 50% of the time but whoever you are thinking of playing instead of him sucks. At least with Matthews the chance exists for him to run into a couple or draw some walks, steal some bases and steal you a win or two.
  20. Yeah. The only question is the most important one, but he has the traits to make it happen. Yep yep!
  21. I wanted him up as soon as Peña got hurt. I think it’s likely he will strike out too much to be a really good player. if he doesn’t though, it’s almost inevitable he will be a star with his speed, ability to draw walks and power.
  22. Why the fuck wouldn’t he? We have 17 guys on the DL
