If I'm a pitcher happy where I'm playing and I don't want to be traded and I was facing the team that wanted me the most...I'd throw hanging sliders all night. Maybe he's telling Oakland he doesn't want to be moved?

Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

You're overthinking it
No ML pitcher wants to go out and get rocked.

Just not sure we'll ever see the old Sonny Gray again and certainly don't want starts like this for us.

So you throw a game to show your current team that you really want to stay with them? That's some warped logic there rookie.
What I can't have a hot take?

Absolutely. I won't judge a bit her for one rough outing.
No chance I trade martes, none

So as much as we love winning.... should we tank games to lose home-field advantage for the playoffs??
Only half-kidding, but you really have to wonder with this team...

Post some TOFA and you can have all the hot takes you want.
Let's be real too, Astros road hitting is legit. Even some guys having pretty good years have been hit hard by us on the road.
I heard today Verlander is now on our radar

Why do we still pitch to Davis?
The reason this account exist is cause Pnsagdad got a bad rap and several bans from posting on the rangers thread
This offense seems so much more relaxed away from MMP.
Don't let these guys go to their homes for home games. Put their asses in a hotel and simulate the away game routine.
I'm still not convinced that the new batting eye isn't part of the problem.

Only if they pick up a hefty amount of that contract.
I'm not giving Martes and taking on that salary.
Pitchers are better at home. Win low scoring games at home and score runs on the road.
If you don't give up a lot I'd take sonny gray all day...as long as that's not the ONLY move you make.
The guy was on the DL the first 5 weeks of the season and has had some very good starts and a few clunkers. Which is exactly what you would expect out of a #3 on the Astros rotation. He's not an ace anymore, a #2 type guy on average team and more of a #3 type guy on a WS caliber team like the Astros. Which is exactly what type of prospects or money beane is going to have to command if he wants to deal him to Houston.
And just my opinion but gray looks like a guy tonight who knows he is auditioning for us. He only walks a batter every 3.5 innings and he already has 3 tonight and looks out of sorts. His first pitch he throws to the backstop? I haven't seen him do that at any point this season.

What other move would you want to make? Surely, not another starting pitcher.
How awful for Rajai Davis to go from hitting that homerun for the Tribe in Game 7 of the world series to playing for the Oakland Athletics.

Give them what you would give for Quintana but get Gray and Madson
What is so bad about it? Not dark enough? The Astros logo? Sight of Torchys too enticing?mathguy86 said:

90 something degrees here and my yard is scorching. Those people in the stands are wearing jackets. I hate them.
Bullpen arm. I've said that for 2 months that's a bigger issue than starting pitcher in my eyes.
You roll into the playoffs with this bullpen and you are going to end up fishing instead of playing baseball in the fall classic or even ALCS.

If you have the best record in the majors, you should get to decide which stadium your "home" games are played at.
Play em all in this A's stadium. Get 7 total road games.
I agree we need a lefty arm out of the pen.
