Looks like I missed an exciting one tonight.
Now that the season is effectively over, is it time to tank for a #1 pick?

Astros 2016 somewhat probable, kinda conceivable march to the World Series

Barring a miraculous turnaround, I definitely think we'll be sellers at the trade deadline. The only problem is, who can we sell? We have a lot of dead weight that no one wants.
Most Likely
Fister
Gattis
Gonzales - hate to lose him, but he has value and likely will give way to call ups later in the season
Maybe, if someone wants them for the bullpen
Fiers
Feldman
Only if they stop sucking (pipe dreams)
Valbuena
Gomez

Gomez won't get a qualifying offer and he doesn't want to be in Houston, so we will just need to cut our losses with him at the deadline. thats a trade to forget for Luhnow.
"In 10 years, I've never complained about pitches, if it's a strike or a ball. I am always quiet and put my head down and don't say a word. But they want respect and when you they think you showed them up, they get really upset about it. So why can they do that to us, especially when I'm not a rookie. They should respect us. I said, 'If you respect me, I'll respect you. But if you don't respect me, what do you want me to do?'"
I think he was referring to arguing balls and strikes, which to be fair, I cant recall him ever doing.

That's cause he swings at everything and doesn't give the umps a chance
These unis!
Great white doing things
Better than the orange unis.
Rasmus with a two out, two strike bunt

****ing walk him every time
Said it last night that he's our new Pujols. Just walk him and don't let him beat you. Anyone but him.
White just needs to stay in the 7 or 8 spot in the lineup.
Altuve getting intentional walked
Springer saying repeatedly "I can't see" yet he stays in to hit against a major league pitcher.
Good decision.
Good decision.
George couldn't see, but still saw that pitch better than the ump. What a bad call.
I don't watch a lot of ball besides the Stros, but are all home plate umpires as bad as the ones we have every game? Seriously it seems every game we have the absolute worst calls.
Umps have always missed the outside pitch and always will. At least it's better than during the Maddox and Glavine days.

I still joke with my dad about how mad he used to get at home plate umps and the outside phantom strike call when the braves were playing
Speaking of the braves, mchugh on the mound today in these unis looks like he's pitching for the braves.
as an astros fan born in '84, I still have nightmares of Glavine, Maddox, Avery, and Smoltz and having them boot us from the playoffs every year.

Caught the tail end of his at bat! Why can't he see???

He had no contacts, which is why he made none
Lefties hitting .348 against our lefty specialist
High fives for Astros

Four quality starts in a row. They have given up 7 earned runs over 26.1 innings.
