DAT 7/22: Astros (Sketti) @ A's (Hogans heroes) 8:40

Ticket question for the DAT. So I’m looking for tix for Frida nights Dodgers game. Is one ticket site any better than another? I was trying to get 5 and the fees were like $260 bucks. This was on gametime and seatgeek I think. Ridiculous.

They’re obviously not trading Framber. How many guys in the current rotation do you feel confident in starting in a 5 game series? Starter is the clearest area they need to upgrade

They can get both a SP and 1B. They are not mutually exclusive

We won the series against the Twins and Mariners and fought well against the rangers…so this is where we crap the bed and lose three to the As, right?

I’m all for acquiring any starters but I will continue to scream from the rooftops that we need to address 1B

It’s been talked about a ton in here so no reason to do it again but at the very least a righty to platoon with Jon


On that note…:anybody wanna look up Ty France’s advanced stats against lefties?

This does nothing for me. Dude looked washed in Oakland. But Kessinger was pointless. It's late July, he's spent most of the season on the roster and he's got 15 at bats in 15 games. 2 starts.

I would try to go to one of the team's Facebook fan pages. There are 2 very legit Astros FB resale sites where tons of STHs resell their tickets, sometimes for more and sometimes for face. You get by without fees. You can do a bit of research (profiles going back for years, posts in the groups for years selling) and help ensure that you aren't scammed. I lot of people are scared of this, but it's the cheapest way to get the best seats. I've bought Astros tickets that way for years and sold as well when I was a STH.

I agree and Ive been right about EVERYTHING

I do agree we need pitching depth because JV is not back Blanco has never gone this far ..etc etc
There's many many more unknowns on the pitching staff than there is at first base
Barring an injury to Singleton I don't know what's out there that is worth anything that the trading team would take for them and even if that deal were made the injury issue remains. Dubon would be worst case scesnario now and if it got worse there would be a whole lot more going wrong

You know the way it looks now most if not all playoff teams in baseball have dealt with injuries this season. And given the Astros age and window I don't see an upgrade at first space this season worth what would be given up into the pitching staff a injury laden staff might still get to the ALCS

if Tuck is out or limps through a playoff run that makes iy vv tough regardless of any moves

See

And people think that the Secret Service secret agency is being secretive and conspiratorial
