re: DAT 5/18 Astros (Javier) @ A's (Manaea) 8:40 PM CDT

Compared to Less Myles, Jake is Willie F. Mays.

He had some trade value at one time. The Mets made a good offer to get him and ended up w Marisnick instead, b/c we wouldn’t let Straw go

We removed all doubt in 40 games on what his value is

His career is over

2 pitches 2 outs after Javier caught up in total pitches w Manaea

Astros baseball

It’s games like this why we trail an inferior team

Typical Astros offense. Pound out 8 hits but only 3 runs. You work manaea fir 72 pitches starting the 5th and then you come out swinging first pitch and allow him an easy inning here.

Jake, Reddick, Maybaw....any of these would be an improvement over Straw.

See how easy that is, Myles, you fricking tool?

Hell, we can platoon ChAAAz against lefties, too. End the experiment.

There's no doubt Buxton would be a huge get. He has become what they hoped way back when. He just can't stay healthy. Of course, the bright side is that it brings his price down.

if we lose correa ,we can shop for 3b or SS and move Bregs


Verlander and Grienke so we'll need to find a #1

OF Uncle Mike is getting old so we need to sign 2

and a catcher but why would the Astrs ever want to be set at backstop

Tucker is smoking everything lately
