Because they suck this year- he's only got 2 playoff runs left in him before he's gone, and they are likely to enter next year picked to finish 5th in the division. He's worth more to a dozen teams right now than he is to them. It would be dumb not to trade him, unless you think you could extend him (they won't).
-
It's such complete and utter nonsense. They haven't been remotely close to anything approaching accuracy with any injury in like a decade. Now we get "hope Tucker is back by September". Remember when Garcia was going to be back by June and JV and Tucker might not be put on IL b/c they might not need that entire time? Yeah that was 2 months ago. Ughhhhhh.
-
I have him on ignore. I talked about trading Jake and Chas on the context of about 5 or 6 different spots where the team could sort of be improved l, because those two are essentially redundant. I’m not responding to him nor will I ever again.
-
Holy shit that’s dumb. That should be the price for Paredes Diaz and arrozorena (whose gone I know) if we wanted to do some sort of one stop shopping with Tampa.
-
365 days is just days away. So is 730.
-
We have lots of holes and lots of fish to fry. LF, 1B, SP, RP, and if we want to upgrade CF and trade away both Jake and Chas for a guy that’s actually an all star level guy and not merely, “above average” regardless of what some stories some people make up in their heads comparing “above average” to team mvp nonsense that would be cool too. But, that’s about 5th or 6th on the list of things anyone should give a shit about with this team. Sure. It’s not like there is a limit to the number of avenues the team can explore to get better. We can do all those things. Especially if the price for a guy like Arozarena is that light.
-
Also, don’t look now but one Forest Whitley is snapping necks and cashing checks down in Sugar Land. I think our boy is all grown up and ready for the Catalina fucking Wine Mixer.
-
His lowest OPS plus in a full season has been 121 or something like that. He’s like 105 this year- but that’s with a horrific start. He likely ends up same place he’s been his entire career- between 120 and 130. that price was minimal. We are dying in LF right now. Wish we’d have done that deal.
-
Crochet will not pitch in the playoff (or bullpen) without a contract extension per his agents. What a fucking cunt. he deserves to get shit stuffed down his throat in Chicago as a huge fucking loser.
-
Its' possible Chas hasn't lost the ability to play baseball over the last offseason at 28 or 29 years old and this is just a prolonged slump and a lousy 150 AB's. If I was the Rays or someone like that I'd definitely be interested in him.
-
Not particularly. If they were ever going to do it it would make sense that it would be for him. I don't think they are ever going to do it.
-
No he won't sign a 6 year deal. Astros should offer him 10/300 and if he doesn't want that figure he's never coming back and plan accordingly.

There is no such thing as a "deserving golfer" on a sponsors exemption. Sponsor's exemptions are specifically for them to put a couple dudes in the field that they think will benefit them in some way. If Charlie drew eyeballs then he would be doing exactly what that sponsor's exemption is meant for. I don't care if LeBron wants Bronny to be on the team- he's pretty freaking awesome and has earned the right I guess to put him on the team if that's his thing. I'd probably do it for my kid if I was him and had the juice to do it. Seems like fun. My only issue with the whole thing is anybody publicly pretending that he's good or has earned the spot in some way. The 15th dude doesn't matter so on some level who cares? Just don't make it something it's not.

Always I think the best preview out there. If you've never read it before I highly suggest it. It's informative and funny. Good big picture analysis of where the program is at and the overall landscape in conference and then lots of in depth stuff on Texas guys (which most here probably already know) but also informative deep dive on everyone else on our schedule and in our conference. Plenty of good one liners, zingers and very informative. If you like the preview mags at all, or reading, it's the best out there of it's kind. Highly recommend. I'm not a fan because we work together- we work together because I was a fan of what he has done online for 25 years in the longhorn community, going back to hornfans.com and all along the way. Hard to believe it's been that long. Congrats on being done with this for another year @Scipio

This is just a reminder that the Astros crack medical staff took like 4 or 5 days to IL him because they weren't sure he was going to need a full 15 days on the IL.
-
Everyone bitched about arrighetti but he wasn’t the main problem. The A’s have scored at least 5 runs like almost every game in July- 4 in 6 isn’t getting it done- but I’d take that from the 5th starter most days and say you have to find a way to win 40 or 50% of those games. that lineup was putrid. need Tucker and 2 more good bats or 1 all star caliber one.
-
We ain’t winning this game.
-
Assume Tucker is getting a Pistorious style blade below the knee that he used to win the real Olympics. As long as the crack Astros Medical Staff amputated the correct leg to prepare for that surgery he should be ok. No word on if they got the right one.
-
Rooker would be a middle of the order bat for 4 playoff runs - that’s worth doing, imo. Any one of the 3 would be good.
-
Loperfido/melton/blubaugh/whitley/Leon for Rooker Chas/Montero/Mathews for Vlad Jr. Areighetti/Ullolo/Baez/Gordon for Crochet astros new roster: crochet/brown/framber/blanco/bloss (JV) Diaz/vlad/altuve/Pena/Bregman/Rooker/meyers/cabbage/ Alvarez (Tucker) Hader/presley/abreu/scott/martinez/king/Dubin Dezenzo to replace Bregman next year- roll it back out for 2025 a little worse. Not a single joke on the big club. Not a single shred of high end prospects in the farm. Better hope Dana can develop. My gosh that lineup would be sexy, the bullpen really good at the top end and 3 guys you can squint and think of as an ace.
-
Thanks for the explanation. I did not know that.
-
He’s a gold glove caliber CF worth 3 war per 600 plate appearances for his career and has an ops of almost 750 this year. And I said he should hit 8th or 9th. How the fuck is that dick riding you paint chip eating moron?
-
Niiiiiiice.
-
Fucking throw strikes asshole.
