[kevwun 15,620]

Trout looked like he was chipping on to the green with that one.

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

High Roller

[Horny Bull 2,759]

Damn I thought Marisnick had that one. That would’ve been awesome.

[henrygandorf 29,174]

marisnick is like the guy sheen played in eight men out.  goes crashing into the wall to make a catch in a regular season game.  the mgr is like, "hap, save it."  and he's like, "save it for what?"

[runthebone 7,932]

Speed kills.  Slide feet first.

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Singles hitter my ass

[DaysOff 7,851]

I like it a lot after last night

[Rip76 4,913]

Springer has lost power.

[alphahorn 1,637]

At Minute Maid really nice crowd most have stayed.  

Springer launched that. I swear Gurriel is the best hitter with runners on that I've ever seen

[DeadArmadillo 907]

I feel a little bad for Parker Bridwell. Panhandle kid and Tech football and baseball signee. And a good dude by all accounts.

That was a moon shot.

Just like that aggy pitcher for the dodgers we rocked in the WS

[Mo Horn 8,807]

Magic number down to 6 and clinched a playoff spot. 

[DaysOff 7,851]

Don't care about any wildcard talk.

[Stros 153]

Playoffs here we come, time to get hot and healthy.

[runthebone 7,932]

Good win tonight.  Big wins are relaxing and fun. 

[perfectchaos007 6,596]

I come to my first Astros game in 2 years and we clinch a playoff berth nbd

[tx 3 putt 76,314]

keep racking up W's !

[TonyTexas 10,481]

Yuli”s little brother hit 2 homers tonight for the Jays. Bet 2 brothers hitting 2 HRs in the same night hasn’t happened often if ever.

[Slacks 6,791]

I thought the point of signing Yuli was to get Lourdes... Am I wrong?

[ckhorn 208]

If Correa is not healthy enough to hit in the last 4 or 5 games and swing the bat with bad intentions. He doesn't need to take up a spot on the play off roster. We'll roll with Marwin and Breggs. He probably is going to need surgery. I bet he has a disc issue or torn muscle.

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Congrats on the playoffs. Let's get the division

He's dating Madonna's kid?

Kind of like signing D’Onte just to get Armanti.

[Jshep34 2,304]

Correa is done for rest of homestand. Great game by Yuli. We were 2 rows behind dugout. Nice energy at the park. 

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Twins just put up 6!

[Mez2 4,021]

To my block, from Holloway, Bellfort, to Scott
Reed Road to Phlox, we know the spots

Dude...

[TonyTexas 10,481]

Dude...

I don’t understand your “dude”. What other 2 brothers each hit 2 homers on the same night?

[Mez2 4,021]

It was posted earlier on this same page by elfenix?

Should have traded him for Machado when we had the chance.  The same time all you dumbasses negged me for considering such an idea.

I guess you prefer guys that have an OPS of .480, 1 HR and 13 RBI over a guy that does .803, 11 and 31.  To each his own.

[Fudge Nuggets 19,146]

Goals for a successful season:

1.  Make the post season

2.  Win the division

3.  Win the pennant 

4.  Win the World Series

As 3 Putt says, keep racking up W’s

[ckhorn 208]

So you want a guy that you will get for 2 months versus the player you under contract for another 3 to 4 years. Don't interview for a GM job anytime soon.

I don't recall ever negging you, but you are a dumbass.

If they were both free agents after the year is over, then sure...but obviously nobody is trading a star-level player (yes he is, despite his lost 2018 season) with years of team control for a rental. If the club doesn't believe in Correa long-term, they should trade him - not for an imminent FA, but for a useful veteran or two plus a team's top 2-3 prospects, because that's the kind of return you should get for Correa. But that isn't happening anytime soon either. 

If your argument is that Machado is the better player, I doubt anyone would fight you much. But their "value" to a team necessarily includes their contracts

[Hank Chinaski 6,310]

What they should have done was acquire McCutchen and his .917 OPS he's posted as a Yankee, which is a horse I introduced and beat to death on this thread.
