Astros are his slump buster for some reason...

I don’t think he’s had a lot of slumps lately. He’s currently tied for 6th in BA in MLB

Astros getting some beneficial calls today.  Straight up.

 

Who asked for Montero?   It's ass kicking time, in a good way.

let's go bregman, they walked a guy to pitch to you !

[rvm96 1643]

I think if Pena got on base with a walk or single in the 9th last night the Royals still would have walked Yordan.

[Ojo Rojo 1965]

Breggy hates that.  Make them pay!

Yordan's dong was a true Crawford Box special:

 

Berkman used to do that quite a bit.  Oppo into the Crawford Boxes.  Or at least that is my recollection.

Yep. I recall Berkman muscling several balls that were low on the outside of the plate with a bunch of backspin that carried into the Crawford boxes

[tx 3 putt 76952]

Benintendi Upped his trade value this series 

 

take notes : odo and chas !!!

[rvm96 1643]

Yanier Diaz and Hunter Brown will be the Astros representatives in the future star game

the early 1980's Oilers needed to trade for a power rusher.

The article also lists the Rangers and Angels as contenders.

Yep. Crawford Boxes will help Alvarez more right where they are than moving to right field. Might be an exaggeration but when he launches one to right he doesn't need a short porch. But his routine flies the other way will get out a bunch because of them, and he's one of those power hitters who hits high backspin fly balls the other way.

80 games left, we plays the A’s 16 times I believe. Let’s get it !!!

20% of our games left are with those twat waffles. Nice. 

[WBT 20566]

I'd be worried but all the guys that felt like they were the better team are gone

[runthebone 7982]

Be careful what you wish for, those guys were division champions like...a year and change ago.

[HtownHorn 14681]

The Astros should trade for Benintendi. He hits very well against the Yankees. His OPS against us is in the high 600s. Let Meyers be the 4th OF, defensive replacement for Brantley. Then resign Benintendi (he's currently making $8M, combining Brantley's two deals, 4-$64M, with the Astros would be a good start) in the offseason to replace Brantley and Jake can be the CF again.

This. The Royals acquired Benitendi for a bag of Skittles. I doubt the Red Sox would trade with the Astros, but they should have been involved.
