  1. Cmon Yordan rub some dirt on it. Thats like the toughest bone in your body.
  2. Holy shit maybe breggy did find it down there. 1st inning hit a HR but foul by 3 feet and now great success! Earl Weaver kind of game.
  3. No doubt. But not that high. That’s why I said a bit unlucky. I’ve seen guys fail to hit 500 in batting practice which is what the league is doing to him on balls where contact is made.
  4. I mean- yeah- both things can be true- Brown has generally been shitty and he’s also been a bit unlucky.
  5. What a shitty year. I mean I’m not crying for him because he’s been behind every hitter, gave up 2 other solid contacts and that’s what happens when you play with fire, but son of a butch does every half mistake we make have to get punished to the maximum?
  6. Then Bregman pisses on one and it’s 3 feet foul.
  7. And there’s the other side of the buzzards lick we’ve had. I assume that’s a f7 for an out in 26 or 27 other parks. But this year it sneaks into row 1.
  8. I hate this management team and field staff. Like- this is JV day you fucking assholes. 4 days rest. Pitch and play your best players until this shit gets stabilized.
  9. You don't become this unplayable- even if you are old- without being hurt. Period. End of story. He's either nursing an injury that will get better, or more likely refusing to acknowledge that at his age the back stuff he has going on is probably career ending. I do not believe this is age related decline b/c of how terrible it is.
  10. Yeah- hopefully the sarcasm was dripping through in my post. Whatever- cocky Bregman is better than humble Bregman. But I'm not convinced. His head is pretty far up his ass...
  11. Bregman had his best swing of the season on Sunday. He’s fixed and the Astros are going to win a ton of games in a row. He told espn that so we are good.
  12. Someone at IT cashed against him last year. Said he’s legit good, would play right away and is a draft able level dude for sure.
  13. That would be awesome- especially if the contract is insured. I happen to think that’s probably the case btw. His back must be wrecked.
  14. Whitley to the 60 day DL. if not now- call me a precog.
  15. They should have that resolved by 4:00 pm tonight or 60 day DL him or dfa. I mean- I think you are probably right but if they had balls that would be the deal.
  16. I don’t have for that Sunday but I do have for Saturday the 13th which is a 3:00 pm game. Yours if you want them. Let me know.
  17. I said on the podcast- watch this be for them to IL Chas and this is about Loperfido being the 4th OF or some such nonsense. This org is really testing my patience. None of this is difficult. We've got plenty of dudes that could play 1b not as an abject joke. If they were serious about winning it would look like this (if chas were hurt) P- JV- normal rest tonight- lineup facing a RHP Altuve-2b Yordan- DH Diaz- C Tucker- RF Bregman- 3b Pena- SS Loperfido- LF Caratini- 1b Meyers- CF. If chas is healthy substitute Loperfido at 1b for Caratini and see what happens If LHP substitute Dubon for 1b. Ugh. Dumb dumb dumb.
  18. The rates went up today because hourly wages went from 0.9% to 1.2% (expectation was 1.0%). That’s driving inflation which is driving rates higher today. interestingly enough tax receipts are lower, consumer expectations are at a 2 year low right now and one real life number has jobs down 100k over the same time period BLS has them up 500k. So- there’s some disconnect between what is actually happening and being observed vs what’s being reported which relies heavily on modeling. inflation is actually the opposite right now- the government number is coming in significantly higher than what’s being seen by the dudes looking at 10M factors v 780k factors. Thats to say that maybe the government is simply getting it wrong and not intentionally. none of this is original thoughts be me, passing along what the market tea leaf reader I pay says. Is he right? Dunno. It sounds plausible. rates will improve Wednesday if fed slows down balance sheet reduction and starts buying treasuries and MBS. The thought is that will definitely happen, but when? Habib seems to think that could be at tomorrows Fed meeting announcement.
  19. No, no we cannot. It's such a beat down. Just one good solid week. That's all we need.
  20. For fucks sake. Why not blanco Thursday Framber Friday, Javier Saturday and IV Tuesday and Sunday? So irritating. Back to normal on the episode. I think it’s good. We talk problems and solution for the Astros.
  21. Let me see if I have tickets left for that day and I will get back to you if so. We have some pretty sweet season tickets and I will send them along if I have them for a first Astros game ever.
  22. How many boys you got? Where you coming from?
  23. I've never thought he wanted to be here long term.
  24. The answer for why pay Tucker market for 6 wins if you are better off losing is "if you are paying market you can always trade him," and if you are paying market you can always trade him and pay a lot of his salary and get some prospects that you really like- which in a market where you can't trade guys for draft picks is a market inefficiency every rebuilding club should aspire to. Also- I think with the base of this team we wouldn't be likely to prefer losing to Tucker's 6 wins, but if it went that direction that's the lesson to take from him having that deal- imo.
