Ick!

I really haven't paid much attention to the Michigan thing because I just hate them, but Taubman should have known his audience. I could hold my nose and cheer for Osuna, but Taubman was an idiot.

Bring back the beard.

I’m all aboard the Kid Keuchy hype train.


Results of Arbitration Avoidance day:

quote:

The Houston Astros have reached agreements with six of their arbitration-eligible players, per The Athletic and KPRC in Houston.

Those six players were outfielders Kyle Tucker and Chas McCormick, along with pitchers Jose Urquidy, Luis Garcia, Framber Valdez and Bryan Abreu.
quote:

Tucker's deal was reportedly a $12 million one-year deal after losing an arbitration hearing with the Astros last offseason. It's still a $7 million raise over the $5 million he got in 2023.
Valdez agreed to a $12.1 million deal.
Urquidy - $3.75 million.
McCormick signed a reported $2.85 million for 2024.
Garcia will get $1.875 million in 2024
Abreu will get $1.75 million.

Trivia:

Which lifetime .300+ hitter did Mike Scott retire for the final out of his no-hitter to clinch the NL Western Division for the Astros?

What connection did this player have with an Astros hall of famer?

Will Clark and he hit a HR off Nolan Ryan in his first MLB AB in the opener of that season.

Jordan Hicks signed with the Giants for more than $12 so Crane was out.


Stanek, Neris and Maton have departed from the pen and we've added...

Declan Cronin
Dylan Coleman

Looks like they signed the #49 international prospect who is out of the DR, Anderson Paula (17)

Also looks like there were a couple of Cuban LHH outfielders they signed too.

Did I see some chatter about the Astros and Joc Pederson?

He’s in good shape

Unless there’s some regional aspect to the releasing of the vote count

Wagner should have been already by now. A few years ago.

I mother fricking hate the hall of fame voters with all my heart and soul. A lot of them act all smart and arrogant as frick when they really don't know any more than anyone on this board. They better do the right thing and vote him in this time. Him and Helton.

Yeah, not a good thing, but honestly had forgotten him

Has been a non-factor

What do we owe him for how long?

Brutal. We need to sign at the very least two MLB relievers now but I’m not holding my breath

We’ve had a helluva run

It’s somebody else’s turn

Pulling against Dodgers, but it might be time to let the Yankees sniff it again
