I’d trade for him too. something like JV and 4M for Jason Alexander and Shay Whitcomb. the Giants are working with JV to send him somewhere he’d like to be. I have to think that the list is houston and Detroit. he could be our 5/6 guy. Framber, Brown, Cease, Arrighetti, Javier, JV. That works for me dog.

Pretty sure they can fuck right off. Cesar is a rental. Their catcher position is fucked and they went to compete now. They need catcher, OF and Utility guy and their chip is a really talented pitcher pitching like shit this year. In no world is Yainer Diaz going over there even straight up.

Urias could absolutely allow them to move Dubon in a Cease deal. Cease deal could be something like: Dubon, Caratini and Melton for Cease. The Astros would still be under the CBT. They could then move something like Blubaugh or Gordon or Gusto for Mullins and $3M. That team is under the tax and your playoff roster likely would be: Diaz, Walker, Altuve, Pena, Urias, Trammel, Mullins, smith, Yordan 9 best arms: Framber, Brown, Cease, Hader, Abreu, Arrighetti, Javier, Garcia, Sousa tbats a roster that can win the World Series this year. The only piece that might be important that you gave up to accomplish that would be Melton. That’s a fair trade to me. that deadline wouldn’t be as sexy as Correa but it would be effective.

He said float. The BLS couldn't possibly mess up the jobs numbers for the 29th time in the last 30 months. I don't know if I believe him.

I just want to say that if we get Carlos Correa it will be a very very very happy day at my house and all yall saying no to that deal should feel very bad for being very very wrong. It's too awesome to happen I'm afraid. I don't want to get my hopes up. But come on, make it so.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
I think if we’d have switched special teams with Georgia we’d have won both those games. They just dominated us so thoroughly in game 1 that it led to all sorts of problems that really did us in. Maybe that wouldn’t have been enough to win game 1 but they were awesome and we were terrible. Standard competence on ST and we win the title game.

Your best 9 bats until we get Pena back: Altuve, Caratini, Diaz, Smith, Walker, Trammel, Dubon, Matthews, melton. that’s it. No more guys other than that. I’m getting so sick and fucking tired of seeing multiple guys from that group of 9 sit every day for a week plus. Motherfucker this team is teetering on the edge. unless can smith shattered his arm in 3 pieces. Then whatever- that still doesn’t excuse the bullshit from the last week.

I predicted 4-3 this week. 7 of the last 8 weeks on the pod I’ve nailed the record. The only one I didn’t I said 5-1 the week before the All Star break and we went 1-5. Whoops.

It's elbow, not forearm. Walter is fine! (narrator's voice- he was not indeed fine).

Houston Astros 2025 Season Thread
Yes and no. That's not really right. He really only has 3 years and 100M left. The last 4 are all vesting options. They go 25, 20, 15, 10. They require over 500 plate appearances. So, if he sort of sucks in 2028 (the last year that's guaranteed) you just sit him 20 or 30 times or have him hit 8th or let nature take it's course, it doesn't vest and you don't owe him any of that....

I mean, Gordon seems to be the anti Walter and has a rabbit foot up his ass. Gusto has been fine. I will be glad when both of them are replaced by Arrrighetti and Javier. September 1 we should be looking at: SP- Framber, Brown, Walter, Arrighetti, Javier, Garcia Pen- Hader, Abreu, Sousa, Okert, King, Gusto, Gordon, France? (you get 14 as of 9/1). LMJ is on the IL for the year- those blisters man, they can be tricky. He gets a normal off season to go into 2026 where he's pitching for his life. Lineup: Diaz, Walker, Matthews, Pena, Dubon, Altuve, Melton, Smith, Alvarez. Bench: Caratini, Trammel, Singleton, Short, Guillerme. Paredes is pretty clearly likely out for the year. My suspicion would be the same for Meyers. Need 1 high impact bat that can play 3B. My goodness, is that Carlos Correa's music I hear? Allegedly Twins would love to move him, he has a NTC, Houston is about the only team he'd waive it for. Crane likes the idea. Get er done, Jimbo!

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
