We got very, very spoiled in 2019 and think that every roster has to be as good or better than the 27 Yankees because that one was

I think we need to seriously consider LMJ moving to the BP.. He simply cannot handle starter innings.. 

uh he apparently can't handle any innings

Do we still not have a SP announced for the game in 4 1/2 hours? lol 

Are we about to bring up one of these scrub ass dudes like Watkins to make a start or are we activating Urquidy? 

Not sure there is another option on the actual current roster.

When was the last time Gage pitched?

I don't know what the plan is but I'm sure it involves sitting at least 2 of Yordan, Chas and Diaz.

Not sure, but going straight bullpen day seems dumb when we aren't getting a day off tomorrow.  He's like what 2 inning max on a good day? 

I guess the positive is they all had a day off last night

I don’t consider LMJ even on the team. Just some dude in weird H‑E‑B commercials and slinging coffee until proven differently.

He should probably just gently place the coffee on a shelf or table, most likely gonna tear something trying sling it around

I looked at Gage's stats and he hasn't gone higher than 2.2 IP all season and 2 innings isn't common for him.  He last pitched on the 27th.


Start stretching him out

I think that the Rangers will be mentally broken once the Astros take over 1st place. Young teams if limited playoff experience usually don't react well when veteran teams finally chase them down and overtake them.

Rangers are losing players, while the Astros are getting our guys back.

Bielak is much better than Montero and probably Stanek too. Call him up, dfa the other 2.

No more Bielak/Blanco starts will be nice.  They did an admirable job eating some innings but yeah.. 

So JV, Framber, Javier, France, and Brown for 1 turn and then to a 6-man the rest of the year when Urquidy comes back?

Sounds pretty good, especially once Framber and Javier are unfucked.

Not so fast my friend

He's on the team like Orbit is on the team.

I must have missed something.  Why isn't Javier taking his normal turn?  Just an extra rest day?

yes they are making a point to give him extra rest.

World’s highest paid hype man. 

Crane is paying $16 million for LMJ and $12 million for Brantley to not even play.

Better be working every game slinging mad cocktails and lattes at that bar to make up for it.

I thought i read somewhere one of his drinks starts at like $25

I mean I know shits idiotic at venues, but do I get a handy from his wife too? Cause i am sure it tastes like shit probably

We were in town the weekend of Nolan's no-no against the Dodgers but I was unable to convince my parents to take me to the game.  They said going to my grandfather's funeral was more important.

I was there. I was very young, but I remember it well.

Trey Mancini DFA’d by Cubs

It’s a damn shame what we did to that boy. We plucked him from his comfortable perch in Baltimore, where he was a cult hero. We brought him right into a crucible of fire for World Series dominance, and the poor chap couldn’t handle the heat. And then we ditched him like the fat chick the morning after a drunk night at the bar. 
 

RIP Trey Mancini’s career.

Great dude though.  I'm glad he got a ring with us.

You know you're DH is really good when he's batting 9th.

This is exactly why we needed a bat. I’ve always said since Astros joined the AL, that if your DH is batting below 6, you don’t have a DH, you just have a guy taking up a spot in the lineup.

I took the boy to Chicago to see Wrigley and he was the most excited about Mancini (because Astros) .. We watched the replay of the catch he made off the Schwarber.... We talked about what a great guy he was an all that.. Crazy to think we may have been in person for his last MLB game..

He totally earned his ring with that one play.

But that one night was totally worth it... 

In the eighth inning, Mancini corralled a wicked, one-hop grounder by Kyle Schwarber down the first-base line, sprawled into foul territory and then tagged the bag to strand runners at the corners. “I had nothing going through my head,” Mancini, who had not played in the field since Oct. 5, said. “I just tackled it, basically.”  A late sub at first base after Yuli Gurriel got hurt — and playing in the field for the first time since Oct. 5 — Mancini stopped a grounder by Schwarber going nearly 100 mph. “Before the game, if you told me I contribute in a big way tonight, I thought it would come with my bat, not my glove,” Mancini said. “I’m much more known for my bat than my glove I’d say. “Just really happy to contribute. That was a huge win,” he said.

At least we will have the memory of the 1 play he made.
