  1. Dana is playing 4D chess, raising the price on Cease and Alcantara then trading for...Verlander
  2. I'm surprised that no surly poster has bitched yet about how great Twine Palmer is and how we gave away too much.
  3. Urias Pena Dubon Walker is a Gold Glove infield! Of course, so is Urias Pena Altuve Walker
  4. Rome: Urías raises the floor of a depleted Astros roster and strengthens one of the sport's best run prevention machines. Only four infields entered Wednesday worth more outs above average than Houston's — a byproduct of moving Jose Altuve to left field and signing three-time Gold Glove first baseman Christian Walker this offseason. Urías has been worth three outs above average at third base this season, according to Baseball Savant. According to Sports Info Solutions, he's been worth six defensive runs saved. Playing Urías primarily third base would put him alongside Gold Glove shortstop Jeremy Peña, who could return from the injured list on Friday when the Astros open a three-game series against the Boston Red Sox. Presuming Urías and Peña comprise the left side of the infield, Houston could shift Mauricio Dubón — a utility Gold Glove winner — to second base, where rookies Brice Matthews and Shay Whitcomb have been splitting playing time.
  5. Can I interest you in a lightly used...Salazar?
  6. Urias is like Christmas in July
  7. Half those guys are dead
  8. I don't know what the fuck you guys are talking about. Paredes will be back in time to beat the Yankees in the ALCS.
  9. Yordan s hitting progression is probably practicing taking pitches.
  10. Sir, I will not stand for antisemanticism.
  11. I'm going to have a good afternoon with my kids and embrace the sweep because it worked in 2022.
  12. This is what this dogshit lineup really is. The Astros are lucky not to be about 10 games worse.
  13. Brown fucked up giving up a whole run
  14. You act like that's good. I think it'd be sad, never getting to use your imagination
  15. Thanks I’ll be living in a VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER
  16. Dumbasses should have kept Salazar to close out this game
  17. Late July 2022, we got swept by the A's. Obviously, it won't happen because today is Gusto Day, but I won't even be upset if history repeats itself. Maybe I would be fucking pissed.
  18. I can only assume Rosenthal is referring to my post. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6513618/2025/07/24/arizona-diamondbacks-mlb-trade-deadline-sellers/ Diamondbacks plan to be sellers at deadline, but extent is still not known: Sources By Ken Rosenthal The Arizona Diamondbacks are telling rival clubs they plan to trade at least some of their veterans. However, the extent to which the Diamondbacks will sell is not yet clear, according to league sources briefed on their plans. The number of deals Arizona completes before next Thursday’s trade deadline will hinge on a variety of factors, including the level of interest in their players, whether the proposals they receive for their qualifying-offer candidates exceed the potential draft-pick compensation and the assessment of club officials about the team’s ability to compete for the third wild-card spot. After getting swept at home by the injury-depleted Houston Astros, the Diamondbacks (50-53) sit 5 1/2 games behind the San Diego Padres (55-47), the team currently in the third position.
  19. Still have to make contact. Forgot that part.
  20. It is bizarre. The worse the lineup, the better. Arizona should thank us for letting them know they are sellers. Sell, Mortimer! Sell!
  21. Congrats to Verlander. At his current pace, will get there, only needs 629 more starts
  22. So Sark told the Texas high school football coaches not to be such bitches?
  23. Is Melton made out of eggshells?
