Hello

That Gattis trade is looking like a W for us after all. After 2018 I was worried we were going to regret it.

Astros are selling the franchise and will be moving to San Antonio - per Chandler Rome.

So we are selling the franchise but are actually moving to Katy?

Velocity is way down. Not sure he's healthy, but maybe it's a mechanics issue.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Have all our RPs been stuck too long in quarantine and have been cranking it out.

Wacha wins his first start for the Mets.

5 innings, 5 hits, and 1 run allowed. 1 walk and 4 K's
I was hoping we would get Wacha in free agency...oh well.
he'll be a free agent again after 2020 -- only signed a 1-year deal with NYM

He doesn't scream Astros FA signing to me. No crazy spin, Velo, or huge movement.

yes, Wacha would be a long shot.

possibly a pitcher that would not break the bank and also might want to pitch closer to home

checking in with the Angels (1-3)...

LAAA only scored 11 runs in their 4-game set vs. the A's. Rendon did not play in any of the games. Still hurt.

perhaps encouraging...the Angels' pitching staff only gave up 17 runs to Oakland.

the Astros should miss the Angels #1 and #2 starters. They're both expected to throw vs. the Mariners midweek. They were both good vs. the A's

  • Luis Garcia
  • Ralph Garza
  • Andre Scrubb
  • Jojanse Torres

Is our offense potent enough to get us through this season? The pitching right now has me very worried.

It's enough to get us into the playoffs But I don't know if it's enough to get us past the second round

Hard times really does change your perspective, right? If we could get back a healthy Verlander, Pressly, Urquidy, Peacock and Smith, I would say giddy up.

I think he is. He was a non-roster invitee to spring training earlier this year. Just not on the 60-man pool roster it appears. Maybe he's playing in one of those beer/collegiate leagues right now.

I am guessing that the test results are on a delay. Either that or they got them back and it doesn't look good. Most likely the former.

and more positives from the Marlins....



and at least one possible false positive....

The Yankees would be using the same locker room that the Marlins just occupied.

The Marlins were in Philadelphia when they tested positive.
I'm assuming they haven't have time to completely disinfect the visitors clubhouse yet, so the Yankees aren't taking any chances.

Based on what we know about how it transfers on surfaces, I think a quick cleaning and the locker room would now fine. Maybe they're worried the philly players are positive and don't want them to spread it to NY. You'd think they'd do tests to figure that out.
