Would be a great post-waiver add... plus then Peacock could be used as a multi-inning guy out of the bullpen, so effectively helps there as well.

Verlander hasn't cleared yet, but word is that Altuve has and will be dealt for several more prospects for Luhnow to hold onto until it is way too late.

Need to claim him not bet on clearing. Spend Jim Cranes money!

Well, it's not my money, but yeah. Although, the only team that would possibly claim him that the Astros would be ahead of in terms of priority would be the Nationals.

Dodgers aren't going to do it with Darvish added, no other NL clubs are going to, Yankees and Red Sox both would have priority over the Astros.

All AL clubs have priority over NL. Cubs nationals have the need and might would pay.

Yankees have claimed in the past just to screw others but has the priority over us anyways

The Astros have made me sad about baseball ever since Monday. I don't even wanna talk to them right now.

Just got an email from the Astros promoting the chance to register early for postseason tickets. Seems kind of presumptuous/speculative at this point, no?

Hmmm, let me check the standings...


Nope, not really presumptuous at all.

They will not lose the division at this point. Now making serious noise in the playoffs? That is a different story. The west would only catch them if they cannot win anymore games and they themselves win every night. That will not happen. And they will eventually hit again.

Reports are that hunch went off last night. A staged reenactment with the team's name changed to protect the innocent

Jake was rapping, aj reed pigging out on the buffet line etc the clubhouse was truly a mess

We will see if it pays off

I'm pretty down on making much noise in the playoffs at this point. Those numbers Tags posted last night

A near 5.50 ERA over the last 50 games. Just 16 quality starts over those 50 games. Our pitching is unreliable shite at this point.

Planning to out score the opponent against Kluber or Sale etc isn't a great plan

One step to try to get the pen right would seem to be having Devo not come into games with runners on base for awhile. I think he needs to get his confidence back first.

Of course, Harris needs to be healthy. Luke has also shown some signs of getting right. Liriano needs to adjust and not be a disaster.
