Was it discussed already that we got Juan Ramirez as the PTBNL in the Verlander deal.

Quote:
Ramirez, now 18, landed with the Detroit organization as an international free agent back in 2015. He landed a $185K bonus to sign out of his native Dominican Republic. Ramirez saw 46 games of action this year in the rookie-level Gulf Coast League, turning in a .301/.385/.362 batting line with twenty walks against just 14 strikeouts. Despite the clear lack of power, that sort of approach holds obvious appeal.


Still can't believe Luhnow not only pulled it off but won the deal.


This feels a lot like when they picked up Martes.

Just got back from MMP and it was rockin! What a fun game!

Favorite part was after Marwin threw Bird out and holstered his gun! Did they show that on FS1?
I got home and pulled up the DVRed game to look for it and I didnt see it.

It's a shame, only those at the game got to see that greatness.

Well, last night my high school team shoved it to the other team. It was personal. We hung 74 on them (would have been 80 if not for a phantom holding) and the Astros won. What a great little Friday night.

Edit:
Marwin's night was better, haha... see below.

Marwin raced to the hospital after the game to be with his wife as she gave birth to their 3rd child. Wow, that is one helluva night.

Astros on projector, Ags on TV until the game ends. Then switch. That is, unless I decide to go to the game at the last minute again.

I still have 2 seats for this afternoon. 400 level in right field. $100 each. They're listed higher on StubHub, but if anyone on here wants them, I'll pull them down.

Never watched there but we've had pre and post game drinks there plenty of times. At least then it's not too bad. With all the TV's they have it would be a perfect place when college football is on.

"I am thinking of naming him Jose Altuve or Dallas Keuchel," Gonzalez said in Spanish, a reference to the Astros' All-Star second baseman and ace lefty, respectively.

It was a boy so if he names him Jose Altuve Gonzalez I hope Luhnow was in the waiting room with a contract ready for the newborn to sign

Rocking the rainbow throwback.

Hinch just feels bad for Yanks and giving them a chance with the free out

The prediction: The Yankees will win this game because, for most of the season, Severino has been a better starter than Verlander. On top of that, the Yankees will have their full complement of bullpen arms with David Robertsonand Aroldis Chapman expected to be ready again. You add those two things together and the Yankees win.

....this is from ESPN. Immediately after saying Severino had a better season than Verlander, they showed a graphic depicting that Severino had a 10.57 ERA against the Astros this season, his highest against any team. And there wasn't a single mention of Verlander's stats since he was traded to Houston. The east coast bias is alive and well.
Yuck the Fankees

Not to mention we feast on fastballs over the plate. If we are patient and make him throw strikes with the fastball, he's right where we want him.

I feel alright about this game. It'd be fantastic to head to New York up 2-0.
Joe West is a fat piece of **** and a waste of oxygen.

I have a good feeling about the game today. I think our guys will come out ready to go and hit a couple
of homeruns.
