Interesting re: Pence. Wonder what type of contract he'd be in line for? Almost 37 but was an all star last year and his 126 OPS+ last year is close to his career high.

Maybe we found a taker for Reddick or are potentially looking to include Tucker in a deal for a pitcher. Just guesses.

Where would Pence fit in on this team?
Click has no emotional attachment to any of the players... this could mean some get sent packing.


Unload Reddick somehow?

Wonder if he was looking at him for Tampa and now that he has real money, he want's to pull the trigger.

Yea. It's reasonable to think we would have made a couple moves (even if just minor ones) over the last month if the s***storm hadn't happened. Click has some catching up to do.

I can't imagine he wants a long term deal but I doubt he wants another 1 year prove it deal.

I'd think he'd want maybe a 3 year deal to finish out his career.

Not sure what it would look like money wise.

The AL Champions trophy promotion is cooler than the rings IMO. I love my 2017 replica ring, but that trophy looks cool.

This is a smart move after the offseason they just had.

Not trying to make this thread political ...but this is also a promotional night this year. Pretty much every stadium had one last year and St Louis had theirs during our series. It was basically just a special tank top with a rainbow cardinals logo for the first 10k fans. Hopefully our fans and posters on here don't make this into a negative promotion. Pride night won't take away from anybody's fun baseball experience that night. But I know some people will avoid going to this game because of it. Sounds like a good night for baseball against a good team!

Thanks for posting. Can't be too careful in making sure my family and I don't catch the gay.

You seem to be worried about something that hasn't happened. Do you think so little of the posters on here and the people in our city?

It won't be hard to find someone upset about it. The majority don't care and just want to watch baseball.

"Journalism" died on November 3, 2016. Maybe before.

Pence works better as a L/R platoon with Tucker too

I bought a Pence jersey in 2007 just ahead of a trip to Chicago with 2 of my buddies to see a trio of Astros-Cubs games at Wrigley.

Several hundred dollars to see a three-game ass whipping. 6-0 loss to Zambrano, who I believe was 29-0 with a 0.00 ERA for his career against the Astros while hitting .865 with 12 HRs. 9-3 second game as Alfonso Soriano hit a homer off Roy Oswalt that landed yesterday. The highlight of the third game was that Jeff Garland threw out the first pitch and sang Take Me out to the Ball game. Astros led 5-0 after 1-1/2 innings, lost 7-6.

Despite it all and his 2011 trade to the Phillies, my Pence jersey has survived multiple attempts by the wife to throw it out. I lost my world series hat while clowning around on Splash Mountain at Disneyworld 2 years ago. Is this my chance to be hip with Astro merchandise again?

Maybe we'll move Josh to SD or LA depending on who misses out on Mookie.

We could just move him for Mookie.

I find it doubtful this is related to Reddick. If we could have found some one to take his contract we would have done that months ago, with or without Pence. It makes me worried that Springer or Brantley could be gone for some pitching.

With Jake gone, I doubt Springer is going anywhere right now.

Sad to see the Astros organization getting blackmailed into hosting a pride night. Baseball is for everyone and I think having theme nights for gays, Christian faith night or Star Wars tards are all equally stupid. Yeah even Aggie night is dumb.

This is of course about micro-segmentation of a certain demographic and making money like all other promotional game events. Nothing more.

Major League Baseball doesn't need theme nights; that's for minor league baseball.
