Hopefully Correa returns to the Astros today and we will be one step closer to moving away from this Fresno lineup...

Marwin and White are the heroes of the week so far. Way to step up to the plate when the team needed them most. Great end to a surprisingly successful road trip.

FYI I needed to start this thread early tonight due to meetings all morning tomorrow.

Crowns have been handed out to a few worthy candidates the past few years, but never forget the one true King.

I wouldn't expect Correa to play tonight if he's called up

Gotta get in a rest day after playing 2 games

It's time for the home bats to wake up. Do we need to call up JoBu? DAT Community Leaders? Geaux Astros.

It's obviously only three appearances, but Ken Giles is sporting a 20.25 ERA early in his Toronto career.

I wouldn't expect any firm announcement either way.

I could see them wait til Fri, Sat, or Sun to actually put him in the lineup, hoping to capture as many of the walkups as possible.

They've obviously not been feeling any sense of urgency.

There’s really no reason to, TBH

We’ve still got 6 more games vs the As, and Altuve, Correa, and Springer will probably all be available for them

The Giles save vs non save narrative has cranked up and running in Toronto

"Blue Jays pitcher Giles seems to need pressure to thrive"


Mind you that headline was written AFTER giving up 5 runs in an extra inning game

They are stupid if they actually believe that a statistical anomaly is some defining indicator. Pitchers pitch.

Watch out or that cool guy “Altuve’s Tongue” will block you for even thinking we should have Osuna on the team.

One of the Crawfish Box writers, Jason Marbach, I think has gone full blown retard of the situation.

Says he won't watch a second of the Astros while Osuna is on the team.

Is a shite bag. Virtually nobody likes the guy. I have it on good authority he is loathed by a popular Astros beat writer. I have the proof.

Wasn’t he the one who had a full blown meltdown when the Astros gave up Jacob Nottingham in the Scott Kazmir deal

I don’t think he’s right mentally

Wouldn't surprise me.

Most of the folks over at the Crawfish boxes are unhinged from reality it seems. Stopped reading them around 2015 or so I think.
