Are you the same dude that said we were going to trade Correa for Luis Castillo at the end of 2019?

In all seriousness, was that something said? And was anyone dumb enough to believe it?

Regardless, I fail to see how something implausible like that is comparable to this, even if this doesn’t close. 

[Fudge Nuggets 19118]

It was definitely said and doubled-down on.  I don't think anyone believed it, rather we laughed at the poster.  Was just wondering if the poster was you or someone else.

Clutch fans saying Baltimore is up to 10/360. He almost has to sign that

He should take it, and then the Astros should go get Story for half that for near equal production.

I’d prefer long term deals for Tucker and Alvarez.

[HtownHorn 14446]

Why not both?

Yep, it was me and it was real. Believe Rosenthal at some point even confirmed there were discussions but the sign stealing punishments hadn’t been announced yet at Crane squashed it. IIRC they were trading correa and Reddick for Castillo and then make a big run at Rendon and Donaldson. Obviously glad it didn’t happen. Hell, I’ll even give y’all my source for it, Mark Berman

One of my good friends in high school used to fuck his daughter. Mark Berman that is. 

[Wulaw Horn 18963]

Also correa is just like all of us- he doesn’t want to work during the first weekend of the tournament. Can’t blame him.

100% you offer both a altuve/bregman deal

I just imagine him with long hair and find that disturbing.

If they do that, I want them to change it to where it starts with 1 out. So you have to get a hit. Not an easy get ‘em over and sac fly

Yeah, also the Astros suck at doing that

[kevwun 15595]

If pitchers started throwing underhanded, it would also be easier on their arms.

Heart response because he’s back at his job and not dead, not because I missed his coaching acumen at 3rd.

Agree and disagree

I didn't want to see 1st pitch anyway.  I hate how security theater has spread from airports to sporting events.

I don’t hate him there and he’s not Pierce level bad, and I’d rather errr on the side of aggression than passivity, but he’s got some bad sends on his resume. 

[WBT 20397]

Verlander should starts.  Kd Beau's boy

The only important takeaway from today’s game

 

[OB3 3608]

Is that Click about 5 rows up behind home plate?

K'd Goldy and deJong.  Walked Bader but only after he blew a high fastball by him when he swung on 3-0.  The other outs were on 3 weak grounders and a foul infield pop.

How's Correa look?

He’s probably injured.

JP France seems like he sucks

I can't believe Crane couldn't beat that offer. Minneapolis? That's not a Daniella kinda town.

ill give im a standing O on his first at bat back in minute maid and ill cheer even harder when we strike him out

 

[Gourmand 7774]

This deal is bullshit for Astros fans and makes so little sense to me why Carlos took it instead of sticking with his boys and running it back for another AL title.
