At least the Astros are getting a good season out of Bregman before he leaves.

Bregman loves August. Career 1.002 OPS in the month, also 37 38 HRs the most of any month in his career. Also, has 68 69 2Bs in the month, also the most by nearly 30 2Bs.

Appears one fan is less than impressed with Kirby's effort.

[billfromlaketravis 11291]

Bregs is really, really well liked by the casual fans and he doesn’t have a metal ankle like Correa. Crane is going to catch some major shit if he lets him walk.

More like two good months, and a bunch of JAGgie effort thrown in.

Depends on what he wants, he's making $30M, and until this late surge he wasn't going to cover that cost in WAR this season.

WAR doesn’t measure clubhouse presence , on the field swagger and leadership

Ok Maldonado.

[billfromlaketravis 11291]

Perhaps the best part of this whole hot streak is burying the Rangers. They unwisely didn’t sell at the deadline. Now they get to watch the playoffs at home without any new prospects.

Dubin is our 5+ run closer.

I'd resign him over Verlander in the offseason.

[billfromlaketravis 11291]

The hardcore baseball dorks that argued Kikuchi had the second best stuff of SP available at the deadline appear to be correct.

I was close to telling Scraps I’d Venmo him 50 if he showed proof that he took him out.

we have an above any pitching staff / analytics team 

[HtownHorn 14340]

Holy shit, that wasn't even fucking close.

[Mo Horn 8717]

Safe by a mile

[tx 3 putt 75521]

Safe

[Mo Horn 8717]

Predictable horrible at bat by Jake

[UTPhil2006 3773]

DFA Meyers. 9th batter at least. 

[Mo Horn 8717]

Huge wasted chance

[YChang 3394]

Well that was poor

[HtownHorn 14340]

This has to be the worst OF threesome in baseball.

He and McCormick are in a desperate race to the bottom. Just inept for weeks on end. 

[Mo Horn 8717]

Pressly gonna Pressly

[Guadaloopy 10802]

Shocked that Pressly grooved a 2-strike fastball.  

[YChang 3394]

Pressly being thoughtful and making it interesting for our entertainment. 

[Honeysucklerose 955]

Pressly. I love him. And I hate him

[Scraps 13490]

Presslys such a fucking choad

[Gut Wagon 8038]

He used to be good. Then again, so did Joe Sambito. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Here we fucking go. 

[WBT 20278]

Maybe a dp?

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

We dicked up our bases loaded chances because we cadavers at the bottom of our order and now our dipshit gives it back. 

[Guadaloopy 10802]

Load the bases for the 3-hole.   Smart baseball Press.
