Saw that. Mets got him for the equivalent of a bag of balls.

Doesn’t make up for the drop, but a good place

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



Big DAT topic. I don't think we want Bregs at SS defensively. Would give us a way below average middle of the infield.

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


I think Verlander comes back. We'll have enough money and the contract will not be long so it fits.

I don't think they necessarily do that until it's time. They may rotate through the Chas/Dawson/Siri/De la Cruz bunch first to hope to find good cheap labor.

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


They signed Maldy to an extension because they fricking hate us.

We're not playing the Rangers. We will pay for our stupidity tonight.

Maldy has good numbers vs Manaea too

So fricked up for a guy that has been horrible for a team that statistically kicks arse playing a team that has run across nine lanes of 5 o clock traffic w a blindfold

I love Brantly ,,the type of move the Astro should be looking for an older his current team doesn't value

but when the end comes its gonna come quick

This will be a 3 and a half hour waste of time. 1st and 2nd no outs, can’t score. 1st and 3rd 1 out, can’t score. It’ll be tied or worse by the time Laureano is finished batting.

If only we had a speedy player on 1st base who could have kept us out of the double play.

Hell, he could have gotten himself into a rundown to try to steal the run. But he's useless.

Ideally Yed can platoon w Brantley in LF home vs away and trade DH roles

Yed has the foot speed to play an adequate LF

Sadly for Javier, he makes bad misses. His shite isn't 95+ but he acts like it.

This team needs to play small ball with 1st and 2nd base no outs, or with first and third and 1 out when your shitty hitting catcher is batting so that mistake pitches like the one just thrown doesn’t cost you the ballgame.

It’s a broken record. We double the other team on hits but have the same amount of runs.
