  1. This is starting to feel like the Christmas where all the presents you open up are socks and underwear and that pet mom and dad you promised ended up being a bird or a fish or something. I cried so hard during that Xmas- it sucked. I will cry at least that hard if our trading haul ends up being some overpriced shitty reliever and a shitty platoon bat.
  2. Except for this… it really didn’t sound like Dana had any intention to get a bat, and a couple perfect LFers got moved for dick and we didn’t make that happen. So… ugh what a fucking ugly 2 days so far with other teams doing shit and is not. 48 hours.
  3. They said hopefully before September the other day. Figure anytime before 9/1 to be a win, as much as nobody wants to hear that.
  4. Three. Unless you just want to save one or two for tomorrow and Tuesday.
  5. Blake snell. Giants are waiving the white flag. He’s been awesome his last 5 starts. He makes so much money with that option next year (opting out if he doesn’t get hurt but straight fucked if he does) that the risk is on the team side and it’s likely to be a very light prospect haul.
  6. I don’t know that we need a reliever. Forest Whitley is ready to shine. Also- if we get JV back then arrighetti goes to the bullpen and that stuff will play up down there. Starter, 1B, LF, RP in that order imo. Dubon needs to go back to playing 2 or 3 times a week and singleton needs to be a PH. Flaherty, Rooker, Paredes would be a really sexy haul. we’ve won 6 Framber starts in a row. Brown has been the best pitcher in the AL since about May 15, Flaherty would be really good and JV as a 4th starter in the playoffs is pretty sexy. the lineup would be the best in baseball and you’d have LF and 3B fixed for the next 3 years at all star caliber levels.
  7. Best win of the year. Everyone but Yordan with a contribution. Go get em tomorrow big fella.
  8. Ha. My brain can’t handle Biggio the lefty. 68 mph. It’s hard to hit one that soft pull side. we dinked the shit out of them in the 6th I guess.
  9. I hate baseball. Biggio hits one 67 mph for a run scoring triple opposite field. Meyers pisses all over an oppo rocket and it’s an out.
  10. I don’t understand any of what they are doing with JV.
  11. He could be better than TBA- but probably not.
  12. I mean- it’s a 1/30 chance to hang a trophy and they are in the bottom 5 of resources.
  13. I just texted with Andrew how much I love Tampa. They are reasonable. They do the right thing. They move guys without turning it into a circus and screwing over buyers b/c they dither around and won't ever make a decision (looking at you Cubs and White Sox), they have their own mind about the value of prospects and are usually right. Just a well run organization that does everything right, considering all their constraints.
  14. He's basically played like 95 or 98% of the games for his career before this injury. I assume he's neither a pussy nor made of glass and that this injury is a big deal. I'm irritated more with the lack of meaningful communication from the Astros medical staff than I am Tucker not being in the lineup.
  15. 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).
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 365 days is just days away. So is 730.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
