I like chas, but drew is the future and we need a arm. Bad 

Counterpoint - by keeping Chas…we ensure that we have an above-average everyday player for the rest of 2023 (our offense needs all hands on deck now). Then we have a great all-around OF with Chas, Gilbert, Tucker when Gilbert is ready next year; Yordan DHs like he should; offense is stronger. 

Obviously we should move Chas in the right deal; I’m struggling to find starting pitching that is likely to be available (from teams out of contention) that get you similar value to Chas. Obviously the other team could add prospects or whatever, but in the context of 2023 that makes less sense to do for the Astros.

Yeah tough matchup today vs Logan Gilbert

I don't see us scratching out many runs

[Gourmand 7774]

 

[tx 3 putt 76345]

Good start. Has to be a quick trigger today, when three days off coming up 

[David Dennison 18655]

Arlington just lost.

1.5 back.

Great defense.

Screw Peña. He sucks

[Mo Horn 8807]

So much for getting a lead and having an easy game

[Gut Wagon 8052]

A good defense is strong up the middle. In other words, the opposite of us in this inning.

[Mo Horn 8807]

Shit

[Honeysucklerose 957]

I’m out. See y’all after the break. These scrubs don’t deserve our time

[Wulaw Horn 18980]

Not great Bob. Still, we were talking about with the pitching so dinged and the offense pretty marginal without Altuve and Yordan being afraid of a 1-5 or 2-4 finish. 3-3 and picking up a game on the Rangers is just fine. 
need to get healthy.

this reads like a yelper elite restaurant review with the cliched "we won't be back."

We need to get healthy and Yainer Diaz needs to start catching a majority of games.

We all agree, but we also know that's not going to happen. Dusty gonna Dusty

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

should trade Pena, not Chas. 

[David Dennison 18655]

Maybe if we keep saying it it will come true.

Oh no.

We got the wrong catcher DH’ing!

[Mo Horn 8807]

Nice to see Maldy hit his 2nd in as many games, but when he's the one we have to rely on for the big hit you know we're in trouble. 

[Scraps 13542]

Whats this fuckhead crying about now

Hes already thrown 2 pitches dicknose

[Scraps 13542]

Please ask Brown about Brantley lol

Somehow only 3 runs allowed in this game. Let’s go steal one 

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Watching this offense makes me think we gave up on Matt Dominguez too soon.
