7, 8, 9 due up in the 9th

Need to shut down Boston in the 9th, and then get one of those guys on base for ALtuve

McCormick's approach has been much better of late, still need to replace his bat in the lineup. His ceiling is a 4th OF.

[tx 3 putt 77920]

Astros need to trade for soto and make them room mates 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Odo gone

[HtownHorn 14915]

Smith has been awful in July. Likes to give up BBs and HRs, he will fit right in with this bullpen.

 

Still way too much dead weight on this 26 man roster.

Smith has not been good this year and earns $13M next year right? I'm willing to trust Click but I wonder if a better lefty reliever was out there...

[Scraps 13598]

Jesus....Will Smith.

He will fit in great around here to get bashed cause he is donkey dick

It's a club option the Astros can buyout

[David Dennison 19117]

I'd rather keep Odorizzi. Braves fans are celebrating.

[WBT 20735]

For that return at that salary, I don't get it.

Smith has a 1.5 whip this year.

OK, that might explain it then.  If Smith makes the playoff roster it will just be to have a lefty for having a lefty's sake.

[HtownHorn 14915]

Not for nothing but he was unscored upon last year in the playoffs, and carries a 1.47 era in 18.1 career playoff innings.

[Mo Horn 8899]

Completely listless offense tonight. If not for bad defense, they're shut out. Pathetic

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Odo probably pissed a lot of people off in front office when he threw a hissy fit about getting left off playoff rosters last year. Bye bitch.

[elfenix 34385]

Well, shit

[TexArcher 38409]

Gross.  That game was gross.

[David Dennison 19117]

That was a very, very bad ninth inning.

[Gut Wagon 8105]

Good AB. Get 'em tomorrow.

I need a shower from just watching

[Guadaloopy 11039]

Yeah. That sucked.  Tomorrow will be better.  Or it could be that the August swoon is upon us.  Get ‘em tomorrow, boys.

Need another bat.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

It’s baseball. I’ll trade winning 3 out of 4 from the Sea bitches and losing one tonight. Sea bitches also lost. Nothing is fucked in the division race.

seems they just went for any lefty just because they needed any lefty.  Odo's last game was damn good, kinda sad to see him go, but most here wanted him gone. 

Seems Stros tonight had their minds on the trade world, lack of concentration.  They also lose focus when playing inferior teams, almost as if bored.  Need to have killer instinct against everyone.  An entertaining team but not going to win the World Series with this effort. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

That game was a buzz kill after the afternoon. Hit me again Click. 

[perfectchaos007 6713]

We've lost 5 of our last 8 games. I think fatigue is setting in, and no off day until next Monday.

Meh. It’s 162 game slog…

they will have the killer instinct to get 11 wins in the right month

Yet those those 3 wins were against the team trying to chase us down in second place in our division lol.

Yeah. Hoping he got his shit out the first half and we get that Will Smith.

still:

 

 

 

 

[Chuckie Finster 22759]

Love Click’s first two moves of the day, but I’m pretty sure we could have gotten more for Odo (or given up less for Smith.)

I'll give Click the benefit of the doubt after Montero

[Gut Wagon 8105]

Odo pitched some really good stretches for us. The reason I wanted him traded was because I felt he could bring us a solid return in an area of far greater need than RH starting pitching. We'll see if he did, but on the surface it looks fairly meh. 

[D3zii 3807]

Y’all Bashing Will Smith, which is understandable this season but career wise he’s a solid pickup 

[tx 3 putt 77920]

Yes, I’m sure we much better offers for odo, but they said ‘fuck it’ 

[Scraps 13598]

Well career wise Miguel Cabrera would be a solid pickup

[UTPhil2006 3828]

Korey Lee sent down

Alternatively, we’ve won 8 of 13 since the all-star break while beating the team immediately trailing us 6 of 7.  All while resting guys and sending two core players on paternity leave.

Well, Odor wasn't going to be on the playoff roster, Smith may be useful, and at least he will take innings from Maton.

Which goes to show you we need another bat. I don't need to see Meyers, Matijevic, Lee, or Jones play any more games for the Astros this season. Go get another MLB bat so you have realistic expectations for MLB caliber production when your main guys are sitting for rest.

[WBT 20735]

I'd feel a lot better about today if I thought there was a chance in hell we'd start the catcher with a wRC+ of 110 over the one with a wRC+ of 66.  Someone change my mind.

[tx 3 putt 77920]

Maybe Smith shows up with the red ass and finds his form
