McHugh is nasty. 

He deserves an all star birth but I’m afraid he’s not going to get it. Middle relievers get no love. Plus, as Blummer detailed, the pitching staff is where MLB will fill the squad so every team is represented.

Didn't take long for Tucker to buy in on the Astros base running philosophy.

Kudos to Marwin's last 2 hits, both of which lead to runs scored by the Astros.

I don't care who ya are...

 

That's badass that his momma and daddy got to see this crowd support their boy like that... along with the production he brought to the game today.

 

Well done.

This is the reason you should go back to lurking on this thread. JFC

 

Thank you for the great explanation.

 

It's far too difficult to simply reply, "A balk only affects baserunners"

 

No Questions At All.  Go Astros!

The fact that you even had to ask the question...

Ah, never mind. There’s room on the bandwagon, even for fucking idiots like you.

again, thanks for extending the spirit of the thread.

 

Now you can finish deepthroating Helobius.  Sorry to have interrupted.

You get to keep one guy, Correa or Bregman, who do you take?
I wanted to trade Correa over Bregman when the "Bregman for Sale" trade talks started so I am gonna stick with that

I appreciate that this was edited and still doesn't work (at least on my phone)

Yeah, I tried to fix it once and failed.  Apparently, there is a limit for edits and then your shame is locked into the interwebz forever.

60-31 thru 91 games.

last year we were 61-30 thru 91 games.

then we went 10-15 in our next 25.

13 game stretch leading up to the asb, i wanted 9-4.  we need to go 4-4 to achieve that.  please do better.

I’m not loving Tucker’s swing. It seems long and slow.


Just wait until he’s settled in and adjusts. That smooth lefty swing is going to be a thing of beauty.

We're hitting into double plays and still kicking their ass

This should be this team’s new motto. Pretty much sums up the season to date. 

Great to see Ted get a hit and RBI in his first game. We. Are. Loaded.

Marisnick will make the postseason roster irrespective of how Tucker performs. They might have sent Jake down at this point given that Kemp only has one option left. 
Sorry if this has already been addressed but there are no limits to moving players with options if that player has options left. It counts against his option year only and the player can be moved an unlimited number of times in that given year.

The Astros have shown interest in White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu, according to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe.

I call bullshit on this. The only way this could be true is if Correa’s injury is more serious than is being portrayed.

Yeah that seems strange...unless, to your point, they think Yuli can play 3rd most days and Bregman can play SS... 

Abreu wouldn't be a rental - he has at least another year on his deal. Would there be that much difference between what we'd give up for Abreu compared to Machado? Because if this is all about Correa being out, wouldn't it make more sense to acquire the guy who can play SS or 3B? 

Probably just doing their due diligence, I guess...

pretty sure the abreu rumors are a few weeks old.  i heard the same (and posted about it).  i think yuli has solidified things in the past month.

i do wonder what's up with correa, since he's eligible.

I agree that a third baseman would be better because it gives them more lineup options if something is up with Correa.  Yuli at 3rd isn't ideal for any length of time and it would make them not have to count on Marwin's bat.
