Hopefully we can use one of these guys to get MadBum or Stroman

[Horn80 6356]

Go sit down.

[Scraps 13799]

Yeah Straw is only an asset for expanded rosters and playoffs.  He is just a play toy right now

Agreed.

12 healthy position players looks like this:

Chirinos

Stubbs OR Stassi

Yuli

Altuve

CC

Bregs

Diaz

Uncle Mike

Springer

Jake

Reddick

Kemp OR Straw

If they go with 13, Yordon has to be no. 13.

 

 

[henrygandorf 29225]

so then pitching looks like:

sp - jv / cole / peacock / miley

7-8-9 - osuna / pressly / harris

rp - rondon / smith / james / mchugh / devo

that's 12 pitchers to go along with 13 batters.

if you go get a legit sp3, then you slot peacock down to rp, and bump devo or james.  you still have a couple guys who can go multiple innings.

This is honestly why I didn't think we would actually see him up until September.  With him in the minors he can get consistent ABs.  Up here he isn't going to get consistent ABs most likely (when Springer/Diaz/Altuve are back mainly).  

Straw or Fisher - much more valuable to this roster than Alvarez 

[tx 3 putt 78676]

Mayfield !!!!!      

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Super Jack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[elfenix 34749]

mayfield!

[kevwun 16437]

Fisher is redundant when Springer comes back.

[runthebone 8376]

Holy crap.

[tx 3 putt 78676]

Fisher and straw are showing teams they’re ready to be every day players 

 

kemp too 

[Horn80 6356]

HR Astros!  5-1

[Mez2 4048]

Super Jacked!

[Dennis Taylor 19346]

Holy shit

I'd prefer to trade Fisher and Kemp and keep Straw. Straw's speed and defense is truly game changing. 

[henrygandorf 29225]

that was some commitment to the bit on the dugout silent treatment  well done.

[WBT 20972]

Good for Superjack

[Planet Houston 4950]

That was awesome.

If you watch the replay, the ball bounces back into the field of play, and Jack is watching it thinking "I better get my hands on that fucking ball."

[henrygandorf 29225]

and fisher gets picked off.  fucking baserunning.

we are so good at so many things and so bad at that.

[TonyTexas 10760]

Their fatty is better than our fatty

 

[rvm96 1643]

Verlander a very unlucky 3 earned runs today

[WBT 20972]

First inherited runners Harris has allowed to score all year

[elfenix 34749]

goddamnit

[henrygandorf 29225]

god what a shitty way to get a 3 in the er column for jv.

meanwhile, we're about to be tied.

fuck, harris.

[tx 3 putt 78676]

Lock it down pressley 

[cabowabo 4689]

Great job Will.

[Mo Horn 8937]

Harris fucking up a good game. JV should kick him in the nuts. 

[Lat22 4086]

Nice job Will.

[HtownHorn 15230]

Good decision to remove Verlander.

I'd rather ditch the Sooner than ditch White. Unless he can pitch better than White or something...

Sooner has as many homers as fat boy in like 1/6th of the plate appearances now.  Pretty fucking shameful.  

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

 

[henrygandorf 29225]

hey tyler white got a single!

note - for those predicting a tyler white homer, the astros are 1-0 this season in games tyler white has homered in, so that's a good call.

undefeated.

[tx 3 putt 78676]

Damn, so close 

[tx 3 putt 78676]

Come on mayfield 

[elfenix 34749]

Where the fuck is the strike zone?

[cabowabo 4689]

What the fuck?

[tx 3 putt 78676]

We need a DP 

[UTexasFight 9817]

We need a DP 

Lets try it again.

[HtownHorn 15230]

C'mon Kemp, you got to turn that.

[tx 3 putt 78676]

Pressley is hot, he has the right to be 

[tx 3 putt 78676]

One more easy out please 

[UTexasFight 9817]

Let’s play add-on.

Mariners are due for a defensive gaffe or two

[tx 3 putt 78676]

One more easy out please 

[tx 3 putt 78676]

Insurance run would be nice 

[UTexasFight 9817]

There’s one.

[UTexasFight 9817]

Lead off walks to 9 hole hitter

Christ

[tx 3 putt 78676]

Fucking walks 

[UTexasFight 9817]

Mitherfucker

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Shit
