I think the astros were pretty high on Glasnow. They stood their ground.

It's also interesting we were after Moreland and Ike Davis trying to upgrade 1B while people talked about the front office was trying to lose on purpose

Ortiz is nothing but a shite stirrer. He has to be one of the worst beat writers in the country.

Ortiz's purpose with the chron is to say stupid crap to get people to click links etc IMO. Kind of like Skip for ESPN.
For real Astros coverage I really like the new guy this year Evan Drellich he has done a good job for the chron and has neat bits of info on twitter regarding the stros.

Drellich is good. Only reason I follow JdJO on twitter is for when he's tweeting game updates. Not often do I agree with the garbage opinions he posts

Best guy at the Chronicle is Jerome Solomon. Well not the best but his radio show he does with Dave Tepper is great

Justice used to troll pretty hard too even though he was and is one of the best out there. Definitely seems like something comes down from the top

I despise Dave Tepper.
Crawfish Boxes writers are melting down. One or two says this could be the end for Luhnow for emails being leaked.
Little bit dramatic, IMO.
Luhnow is sharpening his sword though, some heads are going to roll.

If #Astros wanted to win now & Jim Crane asked Bo & coaches instead of GM, Domingo Santana would be in RF, Springer in LF, Folty in pen.
Santana would essentially be a replacement for the hole in LF even if he's playing RF. Yeah, his potential is an upgrade there but I don't think at this point he gets called up and is a win now impact. The weakness in his game is strikeouts. In a lineup full of strikeout kings, he'd have no protection. I'm fine with giving him nearly the entire season to work on things at the AAA level.
Folty has a ceiling of a #2 starter and he's performing well in a starters role at AAA. He provides more value to the team if he can eat 200 innings and post an ERA of under 4. It would be stupid to hamper his development as a starter to put him in the bullpen. He's been in 111 minor league games, 99 as a starter. You don't call up one of your best arms and throw him in the bullpen because the pen sucks.
I can think of a few recent examples of calling up a promising prospect too soon. Felipe Paulino was called up from AA in 07. He had pitched 112 innings and struck out 110 with a 3.62 ERA. The next few years he bounced around between minors and majors, bullpen and rotation and was ultimately let go. JD Martinez (.332 MiLB hitter) was called up from AA in a desperation move, didn't pan out. Jordan Lyles (our top prospect) was 20 and had pitched 94 innings at AAA when he got called up.

INcredible stat on Altuve. he has a career high 36 steals and its only June 30. he stole 35 last year and 33 the year before. he has a chance at 70-80 steals and franchise record (Gerald Young)...the most impressive stat? only caught stealing 3 times.

Ultimately Crane & partners must decide when to demand results from front office. Imagine NY or L.A. trying to sell 3 more losing years
I hate JJO but this is spot on. Give any GM 8 years to rebuild and the chances are good most would turn it around eventually.

I've been saying 2015 is the year we start to compete for a division or wild card. That's 4 yrs into the Luhnow Experiment, which IMO should be enough time to become competitive.

No one was going to give more than a bag of balls for a fringe #5 like Harrel. His ERA was >5 and his WHIP was over 1.5. He had zero value.

They're competitive at times now and they're all, for the most part, young.
Which makes me believe they will only improve. All about patterns.

Right. It's amazing what 2-3 youngsters and maturity of some rotation pieces can do. I'm really enjoying watching this below .500 team when I can. I'll be at the game tonight with my 6 month old 'stros fan.
Posted on 6/30/14 at 3:50 pm to Ruxin
are they trolling on Crawfishbxes saying Aiken might be hurt already?
Posted on 6/30/14 at 3:51 pm to Tiger Ryno
Speculation.
These are also the same writers that have flipped their shite over this email thing.
Starting to lose a little interest in those guys.
