Too much.

center fielder Carlos Gomez, right-hander Mike Fiers and an international bonus slot (valued at $287,500) to Houston in exchange for outfield prospects Brett Phillips and Domingo Santana, right-hander Adrian Houser and lefty Josh Hader.

Not too much, but I'd like to slap him.

Prospect report includes video of Reed's homer last night. Look at the easy swing/power.

Carter has a easy swing with power. We all know how he hits

But now I wanna get into it, and since I wanna start fresh I'm thinking about staying local and going with Astros as my team to follow now. Good idea or no?


A fun team to follow. Always something to put our own "expert coaching" opinions on, so just be ready for an emotional roller coaster. They can bring you up so high to then drop you hard as a motherfuhker.

One of my favorite things about the team is that while we have a huge amount of talent, there is no one guy that steals the spotlight. Yeah, they highlight Altuve and Correa greatly, but at the end of the day anyone on this team can be the catalyst that shoots everyone else into Orbit (like what I did there?). It's a team of regular players that carry personalities the fans can relate to and feel connected to as a fan base.


So I say, welcome and Geaux 'Stros

So far, much of this season can be summed up with that Debbie Downer gif

yall need to fricking chill


its one road series and halfway through the first home series.

Lets see where we are after one month. We get a starting pitcher back and maybe let Tucker play more and this can fix itself

It's one road trip and one homestand.

But I know what you mean. Nobody is panicking...but there are some alarming things that are attracting focus from the fans. Nothing wrong with that.

Honestly it's time for a lineup change. Some of our guys' plate approaches have been trash. Move them to a spot where they don't have to rely on power. This is what I'd do.

Springer (he's more comfortable here)
Altuve
Correa
Rasmus
White
Tucker/Gattis
Valbuena
Castro
Gomez (break up 3 lefties in a row for 7-8-9 by moving Gomez down)

Of course the downside of that is you get Gomez and Springer back to back, which ain't real good right now.


I like Bueno's glove, but honestly the guy is a big pop low average hitter and is just a placeholder until Moran comes up.

Swinger still starting in the 2 hole

Hey George, I'm no hitting coach but look for the slider in a 2 strike count. Don't chase it. You're welcome buddy.

He'll continue to struggle until he changes his walk up song. Horrible

Was really hoping Springer would get the night off tonight. That means he'll probably hit two bombs.

I was kind of thinking it would be Gomez getting the break, but hopefully they can both break out of their slumps tonight.

The Kid throwing at home,.. time to loosen up at the plate. Stop swinging out of you're shoes and just be a hitter. New team coming in, hopefully the poor play this past series has woke a couple of these guys up.

Found free parking two blocks away.
