If tweet fails to load, click here. I wonder when this was done? It would be the most Crane thing ever to refuse to pay the buyout.

Do we melt or not?
Any good manager candidates out there?

Throughout the week, some league sources said Kleine has sought a president of baseball operations title in Houston. Crane has not given designation to either of the Astros’ past two general managers.

What’s @ASTROSBAW saying?

Excellent scout who assembled a great farm system sounds familiar

Signals to me nothing is changing. One dana replaced by another

Cards have drafted well and have a good farm system.
Seems like a very bright guy with a good background as a player, scouting, and technology (founded a sports video tech company)
Sounds good, hope it works out with Crane is about the best opinion you can give on the situation.
Got an industry buddy that thinks is a good hire. Had worked with Dana in the past too and said Flores is much much sharper. Hope that’s the case

Even though I am underwhelmed with the hire (given who the rumored favorite was) you’re right. Crane is the primary concern no matter who the GM is.

Will the Cardinals even want the passwords this time?

Saw that he replaced Correa who is still doing prison time 
Kleine sounded great, can’t blame him for wanting POBO title
Also can’t really be mad at the Astros for not giving into demands on top of paying for a buyout for someone that hasn’t run an org before. Maybe the dude ends up somewhere and is flips an org upside down but that’s a big ask in a negotiation IMO
Idk anymore. It’ll probably end up being the wrong decision for the org because Crane didn’t want to give that title to someone

The whole process stinks, making all these player development front office hires on their own before they hired a GM. Nothing has changed and the whole structure is still fricked it appears. Flores could be a great potential candidate to head a front office, none of us really know, but the biggest issue to me is that’s not what he’s being hired to do

Yupe. As the resident Homer/optimist stinks thinking that the hires they made meant they were getting the top target. It’s just still so backwards
Off topic, saw all the teeth gnashing from Dodgers fans about game 5 of 2017 on Twitter and doing a rewatch now with a couple of cocktails. Funny seeing how McCann had to go out multiple times with no one on second base in MMP to switch up signs. But muh Kershaw got no whiffs

game 5 of 2017
Best game I ever watched.
Talk about the gamut of emotions. I remember being so pissed at Springer for that ill advised dive, then elated just a few minutes later when his homer joined Pujols’ ball in orbit.
And Chris Taylor…FFS

That sequence was George in a nutshell. One of my very favorite Astros ever
He has been noncommittal about whether he play next year. Interested to see if he calls it a career

Yep. And after game 1, there were literally murmurs (never seriously) about benching him…then he proceeded to go off the rest of the series.

Was talking with my wife before she went to bed that I remember being in mass that Sunday night and doing the Lord’s Prayer and she asked why my palms were so sweaty and I had to be honest and say because I was so nervous 2-2 in the World Series and they had Kershaw going.
