Ball was hit at 92 mph and travelled 257 feet.

[Scraps 13561]

Fucking weirdos staring at the field when they have full plates

[billfromlaketravis 11456]

Jake Meyers is a dead ringer for the cook on my committee. Please take off for 1) To give him shit 2) The Astros prospering .

[WBT 20561]

Sparky was just talking about how Ohtani holds the bat really high.  He said that Craig Counsell held the bat so high that he looked like he was trying to climb a rope in gym class.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Chaz channeling his inner Myles Straw.

[Mo Horn 8832]

Jake just missed his 2nd hr

[Smax 3800]

Grienke would have fielded that..

[WBT 20561]

[Gourmand 7774]

I fucking knew this guy was a player

[Mo Horn 8832]

Jake should starts. He's here to stay. That was crushed. 

[Guadaloopy 10960]

Let’s get a little Slam Diego streak going.  

[Guadaloopy 10960]

Anyone have any reservations left about trading Straw?

[Rimbo 25919]

Straw’s dad and Dusty.

[dr99 560]

Dusty will probably bench Jake tomorrow

Oh I agree.  I’m just referencing the big deal they were making in pre-game about Kyle going on IL. 

[Stros121 4]

[Rip76 4925]

I wanted Buxton but I will say that I've seen quite a bit of Jake Meyers and that dude can rake AND play defense. I think y'all are gonna like him. I just don't know how long it will take him to transition to the next level. 

 

On 7/30/2021 at 3:22 PM, Gourmand said:

There is not a thing Straw does that Meyers won't do better. He's a better defender, he has speed, he can hit for average and he can hit for power. Experience is the only issue.

Remember when surly hated Myles Straw and wanted him dumped in the Gulf of Mexico?

Jake Meyers is better than Straw. 

 

[WBT 20561]

Diaz needs to walk so we can go for 2 GS in the inning

[Scraps 13561]

Do we get a trophy for this?

[Starfleet Command 441]

lol the Astros farm gets consistently ranked in the bottom 10 and it’s produced McCormick and Meyers this season with Hunter Brown, Leon, and Lee waiting in the wings. 

[Gourmand 7774]

It still cracks me up that so many Astros fans got so bent out of shape over Straw getting traded when he was just getting in the way of two outfielders with a similar floor as his but much higher ceilings because they can actually hit home runs. 

I like Straw but he's another Willy Taveras in CF. 

[Starfleet Command 441]

Also, to be fair to Straw, he’s cost controlled and likely a league average player moving forward with his speed and defense, which is pretty valuable. Indeed, he has the sixth highest WAR of all CFs in the majors this season. The fact that they were willing to move him shows how highly Click thinks of McCormick/Meyers. 

[runthebone 7968]

That got out of hand...
