I'll take Trevor Bauer if Dusty makes him throw 9 innings every game he starts.

[Scraps 13561]

Id just sign Keuchel and lose all his starts before Bauer

[tx 3 putt 76957]

Have to win get away days 

[TonyTexas 10512]

The future is now!

 

[Scraps 13561]

I will be at the game today. If Abreu hits a homer I will buy his jersey

Abreu needs some days off too

I’m very ok with Diaz and Lee. Maybe berryhill or price can be somE prime trade bait or get moved to 1st 

[kevwun 15788]

I don't know where the stuff about his defense came from last year when he was in the minors.  I bought it, but he'll be fine behind the plate.  It's going to be weird as shit having a catcher who can hit.

So we traded a mlb starting CF for Maton and Diaz. Indians are still are winning that trade by just a little

Myles is basically Chas 

[kevwun 15788]

And a catcher who can hit is worth his weight in gold.

I'd take Jake Odorizzi back if he demanded to throw to Diaz.

1.6 runs for San Fran. SO- good news- last night they beat us 0.4-0.  That feels much better. 

[UTPhil2006 3807]

So Dusty can cuss out our scoreboard operator but can’t get off his fat ass to yell at an ump? 
 

Fire him yesterday

What?  Statistically, Chas is basically Barry Bonds at the plate compared to Straw the last two seasons.  Hell, even Jake Meyers has better numbers than Straw.

[Hank Chinaski 6315]

Diaz looks good enough defensively…and Fangraphs gave him a 50-grade “fielding” tool in the preseason (he was their 80th overall prospect), which is average. He’s fine defensively.

[Scraps 13561]

Oh and just to cover all bases.....If Hensley hits a homer today I will not buy his jersey

[David Dennison 18860]

Hot take Wednesday is heating up.

[runthebone 7982]

What would happen if two lefties hit back to back?  Something terrible, apparently--even worse than having Abreu in between.

[hornmpa96 2618]

If Dana wants Diaz to play more, he’s going to have to trade Maldonado.

Peter Quill dropped a mad bomb to break the Yankees’ winning streak record. 
I believe Hatteberg had more total bases than Peña for the rest of that season (?), which helped the A’s make the playoffs. Astros will need better analytics to determine how much of a batting discount is Maldonado’s defense worth.

Their owner is still going to be a tight ass.  He will just be making more money off the club.

Note for y’all : the new team store in center field is stocked with some damn nice stuff. They’ve picked up their purchasing game.

Next time any of you chucklefucks doubt my baseball knowledge know this- I have the #1 rated Astros Podcast in Pakistan.  2% of my listening audience lives in Pakistan.  Let that marinate for a minute or 2.  

Also- the UK is checking in.  Another 2% of my listening audience lives there.  People say this show is big in the UK.  Really brings on a heavy responsibility knowing all my international fans are counting on that content creation.  

On a serious note- the internet is pretty cool.

Bregman is #1 bullshit
