Question that I don't fully know answer to.

 

When Machado whiffs at that bunt then runs 10 ft out of box....if machete would plunk him with a "pick off to first" would we get a free out?

Not if Joe West is behind the plate.

 

but generally, the answer would have to be yes, right? Batter interference just like any throw to second on a steal attempt here the batter leans out over the plate

I would wager to say yes as it would have to be batters interference and he had no right to be there. 

[YChang 3430]

Well whatever promise of that inning quickly went away...

[WBT 20419]

Damn that was a nice dp they turned on Altuve

[Scraps 13542]

Walking leadoff hitters as a RP is not gonna extend your career

Well that series sucked 

[Scraps 13542]

I would say we need to stay the hell out of California, but we have a 9 game road trip coming up in September where all we do is play in California.  

fuck california 

[Halohal 498]

If the Astros come up short in Cali, Games 48 through 60 can make up ground. Just need to see whose available to play. Need our Ace, DH step up, and stay out of extra innings.

[Scraps 13542]

Well we don't get to see Vogelfat anymore...he is now with the Blue Jays 

[tx 3 putt 76351]

10 game win streak would be nice

Banging anyone right now.

Bad bullpen is back. Though offense is still really inconsistent. Padres bullpen is trash, but they nearly shut down the Astros completely.

[UTPhil2006 3791]

What trades do we make before next Monday?  SP? BP? OF? Sign Pence?

[kevwun 15643]

Trading away any useful prospects is throwing good money after bad for this season.  There are too many holes to fix.

[Jshep34 2304]

We trade springer, correa. Jv and grienke for prospects

Trade Phil too

[Scraps 13542]

I would hate to bail, but this fucking team ain't winning shit.  Between the shitty BP and all the fucking injuries it is a lost cause.  

If we keep sucking ass this week I would trade Springer, and that is saying a lot from someone who wanted him to be a lifer.  

I would also ship Yuli if someone wanted him.  Hell someone could even have Reddick for an A ball player for all I care.  

 

2020 sucks dick so let's just top it off 

 

Edit - the problem is though we could play blindfolded and get 2nd in the West so we are going to be in the playoffs regardless what we do lol

Yeah, not only for the holes/injuries we have now, but also because the postseason is even more of a crapshoot then most years.

The old regime (Luhnow/Mejdel) always said the playoffs were a coin flip (in a normal year). 
This year with the extra 3 game series at the beginning, it’s going to be even more chaotic.

That, combined with there being no guarantee a postseason is even started let alone completed, I can’t imagine there being many moves by anybody over the next week.

For Trout?

[Bevo&Pevo 5026]

I'd keep Alex B and Uncle Mike for sure.  The rest of 'em make me an offer and I'll think it over.

Bergman?  He’s locked down for 5 more years. And doesn’t even make all that much money as far as those things go. 
plus, nobody is paying shit by the way in prospects for this season. Nobody.

I’m an idiot. Read it wrong. Sorry. Uncle mike is a FA at years end so..: what ever.

[TonyTexas 10482]

Bunch of quitters here. 

[WBT 20419]

Lulz at giving up on the season.  The playoffs are going to be a complete crap shoot.  Why not us?

[Scraps 13542]

Trout shut the fuck up

Wife deadpans, “ That guy needs to trout right back over to the dugout because that was a strike.”

I just giggled.  She is right, but has no idea who Trout is.

 

Framber seems rustled... in a good way.

so tired of superjack.  He should have been a pe coach a long time ago.

Nice D by framber too.

[Honeysucklerose 957]

So so lazy

Little league D this inning.  

[Guadaloopy 10921]

Trout owes us a three run jack right about now.

Pujols is so slow now.  This inning has Tom Emansky turning over in his grave.
