Ludlow is a failure imo.

Predicted on a podcast during the Toronto series that this is a late, deadline-day type trade window. Thanks for the fun offense in the first half I guess.

Following string of tweets is from Joel Sherman this morning

Random thoughts on deadline day to follow, please forgive the string of conscious (insanity?)

Team under most pressure: #astros. AL's best record, but injuries, recent poor work by McCullers/pen. Need to re-energize (cont)


quote:

Think #Astros need at least 1 reliever and are on Britton because potential Oct difference maker, and maybe need SP too

I will melt so hard if Ludlow does nothing.

The Stros have had that 2:1 W-L ratio for the majority of the season, which is like a frickin unicorn if you're an Astros fan, and Ludlow is about to throw it all away because he's afraid to be wrong.

I think the team told Ludlow to go f*ck himself yesterday.

I tried putting myself in his shoes. He doesn't just want to be employed in 2017, but he wants to remain a GM in 2018, 2019, 2020 and so on, so he doesn't want to make a move like he did in 2015 and deplete his farm for nothing.

On the other hand, if you have a team with a record of 68-36, and you are leading the entire AL by 10 games, wouldn't you say that this is your year to win it all? Shouldn't you be all in on this one year? F*ck 2018, 2019, the time is now!

How many minor leaguers have been busts? Brett Wallace and Jon Singleton were supposed to the next Jeff Bagwell and Jason Hayward, and where are they now?

This 2017 team is the best Astros team I've ever seen, and I never thought we'd have a team better than the 1998 team, and here we are. The Stros are only a starting pitcher and reliever away from being a complete team, and Ludlow does absolutely nothing!!!!!! If he does nothing and the Stros don't at least make it to the World Series, I'll never be able to forgive him.

I was hoping the Astros would be my distraction from having to watch the Saints lose four or five heartbreak games in Sept and October, but the Stros season may be over by Oct 7th with Ludlow standing pat to preserve a future Brett Wallace. F*ck you, Ludlow!!! Make a move already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My man has been melting since last night and decided to let loose this morning


I'll add it to this thread since the old ones done. Assume we get Britton or hand and not a starter. I think we should add another lower tier reliever like bud norris just to add more depth to the pen

Good god man.

Do you need a training bra to go along with that tantrum?

I like your positivity, but Ludlow isn't doing sh*t.

He is afraid to pull the trigger after the Kazmir fiasco in 2015.

There is no way he makes a move today. He is gunshy af.

I'm so confident he will not make a move, I will self ban for a month if he does.

If Ludlow was going to make a move, he would have done so by now.

F*ck Ludlow.

Your melt is Ryno on Fisher day-esque.

I wouldn't look at myself in the mirror for a couple days if I were you.

Are you talking about trades in general post that move? You know he traded for Fiers, Giles, and McCann after that right?

Don't be sad to give up one or more of the prospects you covet then.
