I hope Bags received the standard 10% on Abreu’s contract.

I also think he will be fine, but i would much rather it be sooner than later. Waiting til August when he normally goes off is not gonna work

[Mo Horn 8899]

Julks

[tx 3 putt 77919]

Julks !!!!!

[Scraps 13598]

Hey brother....whatcha gonna do when the Julkster runs wild on you

[billfromlaketravis 11601]

Can Julks play 1B?

[Mo Horn 8899]

Maldy just crushed one

[Scraps 13598]

Machete shit all over that ball

[billfromlaketravis 11601]

Lol. 

[tx 3 putt 77919]

Anyone talks shit about maldy, I’m fucking stabbing you !!!

[David Dennison 19117]

I think he got all of that one.

[Scraps 13598]

Machete over here droppin bombs off Cy young winners

[rvm96 1643]

Is there where I claim to be king of the universe after Machete and Julks go deep?

[Wishbone 4839]

Personally, I am in agreement with Bagwell that Abreu will probably be “fine”. However, not yet convinced that will include his stint with the Astros.

[tx 3 putt 77919]

Maldy might end up hitting .300 in May !!!

 

[Scraps 13598]

Rowdy tees off

[Mo Horn 8899]

Damn

[Mo Horn 8899]

So much for the shut down inning Bagwell was asking for

[billfromlaketravis 11601]

Rowdy looks every fat bald dude with a beard I’ve ever worked with. There have been many. 

[tx 3 putt 77919]

Jake !!!!!

[Mo Horn 8899]

What a catch Jake

[billfromlaketravis 11601]

And… Jake is out another 9 months. 

[BrickTop 477]

Jesus what a catch, didn’t he fuck himself up on a similar catch?

[Scraps 13598]

Our training/coaching staff will sit him a week now with discomfort

[kevwun 15943]

That's how he messed up his shoulder.

[cabowabo 4578]

Contrast that catch with Tucker who won’t even run after a shallow fly ball…..

Put your hari-kari on TikTok. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Givin Jake all the props. Never been happier to eat my words. That dude was completely lost for a while at the plate and the field. Have to give him credit for becoming a legit major leaguer.

[txduck87 999]

Man I love baseball. Go Stros!

[Wishbone 4839]

Nice patience on that breaking pitch Julks hit.

[Mo Horn 8899]

Great play by the 3rd baseman 

[Mo Horn 8899]

Not sure that was a strike there ump

I think the douche factor/bat flip shit knocked him down some. That stuff bugs the f** of baseball purists. 
 

Let’s say he continues to knock the cover off the ball in Corpus, could they promote him in September and keep him eligible for Super 2?

They could promote him in late June and he still wouldn’t be super 2. September is a layup

All Javier 4seam fb are missing way high

I think someone on here said wait on Jake- he might be a player. 
I did, however, lose faith literally the day be turned his career around. So yeah. That’s what’s going to happen to me when I sell the last of my Whitley stock.

I'm starting to believe that he just wasn't ready to come back from the surgery last year.  Neither are big samples but 2021 and 2023, he's been about 110 wRC+.  That's comparable to Chas and definitely playable for CF.

[HtownHorn 14915]

We are laughing at Abreu now.

[Mo Horn 8899]

With his defense and a 110 wRC+ I think he is an all star.

The clubhouse jokes should be fun. 

[Wulaw Horn 19230]

Burnes used to be a really good pitcher, right?

2nd on the team in position player fWAR.  Of course Tucker's defense right now on there is stupid low.  I think in general they should regress all of their defensive numbers about 50% toward the mean.
