Pay me the league minimum, I'd be happy to plunk a dodger, yankee, bo sock with my 68 MPH heat. It might come on 3-0, 0-0, or 0-2 (only if they laughed as my 4 seam change up made it's way through the zone on some accident). Just make sure when they come charging the mound, the boys have my back.

Makes me wonder A) why is Elias moving this guy and B) who the hell is he gonna pluck from us?
I think the point was that Elias could know more about the Houston farm system than Click. There may be some hidden gem that Elias has his eye on.Marvin said:Ag_07 said:

I can't imagine it will be anyone of much value. He wasn't on the Orioles 40-man roster... let that fact sink in.

Velazquez was outrighted off the Orioles' 40-man roster last week and has now found a new home in Houston. The 31-year-old right-hander struggled to a 5.43 ERA in 34 appearances at the major league level last season, but the Astros' pitching staff has been ravaged by injuries through the first week of the 2020 campaign. For now, Velazquez will report to the team's alternate training site in Corpus Christi.

It's a PTBNL to get around the rule that you can only trade guys on the 60-man. The 'later' will be after that restriction is lifted.TREX01 said:
Elias hasn't been with us for 2 years. Lots of new faces in our system and if its a PTBNL that puts it as someone who came into the system in the last year so it wouldn't be anybody that he had any dealings with when he was with us.

I'm not trying to sound like a cliff jumper at all, so don't misinterpret this post.
Has anybody else's season expectations or predictions changed since opening day? Mine have with the news of JV injury, with the bullpen injuries, and the odd unknowns with Urquidy and Alvarez.
I had every expectation of us winning the World Series, and it could still happen. But my expectations have gone down a bit over the past few days. At this point I want us to win the division, play well in the playoffs, and find some good young arms for the future. I'd be very happy if each of those 3 things happen, even if it doesn't result in a ring.
I'm still very excited for this team, and the future. But I do think my expectations have lowered in light of recent events. If Urquidy and Alvarez are able to come back and be 100%, then I think we have a legit shot. Their situations are so odd that it's hard to get a grasp on when they will come back and at what capacity.
Totally get it - I was expounding on the comment of the previous poster...TREX01 said:

I am so sick and tired of the "World Series was stolen from us" narrative. They act like we were a little league team beating the '29 Yankees....that it was a foregone conclusion they would have won otherwise.
Remember, you did lose 2 of the 4 games at home where the Astros would not have had access to any video
Don't hit .205 for the series and you might have won.
Don't have your closer gack all over himself in game 2
Don't throw the ball into the dugout in the 1st inning of game 7
Don't waste bases loaded nobody out in game 3 and only get 1 run,,,on a double play ball
McCullers gave you 7 baserunners in the first 3 innings of game 7 and you peed down your leg and got nothing and went 1 for 13 with runners in scoring position.
How many more? How many chances did you have to just "do your job" where any video sign stealing had nothing to do with it and you didn't do it. Go home and cry me a river.
Doesn't matter. You are wanting facts when none of them matter unless they paint the Astros in a bad light.bullard21k said:

Wasn't manfords report and video evidence confirm that the video cheating didn't continues
into the playoffs?

Our little buddy Cody struck out 17 times in 28 ABs with a .565 OPS during the 17 world series. Of course he's seizing this chance to blame someone else for his failure.
