That and when they cheered when Altuve was hit. Satisfying to see that free runner trot across home plate…

Went to high school with Clint, Mama Stoerner is a riot! And y'all are right, she's probably had a few Coors.
The casual Go Stros at the end after ripping the Sox gets me every time.
What do you think Rodon goes for in free agency this winter?
Any reports out yet about LaRussa getting another DUI last night? He looked drunk during his little tirade in the 8th inning.
What a temper tantrum that was.
That whole charade was nothing but Tony being butthurt he's losing to Dusty. Though it was great that Dusty never even got up out of his chair.
If he was so pissed at getting warned they should've reminded him that they hit Altuve first. If Altuve had not been hit there wouldn't have been a warning for Abreu.
Both of which were unintentional so WTF are you bltching about?

LaRussa was out of the dugout for so long I got a silver alert on my iPhone.

La Russa looked and sounded old yesterday. Old and slow. Good thing he gets the rest of the off season to recover. He is now yesterday's news.
On to Bahstin.
On to Bahstin.
Good question. He's was such a big-time prospect coming up, but it never quite clicked for him until this year. Spotrac shows his market value at 4/96 M. I think that is a little rich. I'd guess something similar to what Lance signed.Deluxe said:

What could have been for Chicago? They all but had AJ signed then went in another direction.Mathguy64 said:

We all know why Crane hired Dusty. I dont understand at all why Chicago hired La Russa.Farmer1906 said:What could have been for Chicago? They all but had AJ signed then went in another direction.Mathguy64 said:

Good morning to everyone except Chicago, #ChangeTheGame fans & @RTepera. That was quite the can of worms you opened, wasn’t it? Enjoy your offseason and the paint chips you’ll continue eating; @TeamCJCorrea & and @astros will continue their unfinished business. #ForTheH pic.twitter.com/OGk7b8qz7T

I hope the majority of players feel this way
He knows he's a FA and wants an opportunity to come play…
Yeah that could make sense.
The report says they stopped banging after the CWS game in the regular season when their pitcher figured out what was happening, and that it evolved to include other methods of relaying. I did not see details on those other methods or if/how they might've been communicated during the playoffs.
Thinking back though....if both teams were stealing signs....the way game 5 of that series happened makes a lot of sense. I obviously don't know anything, but that game was something else.
Either way, my understanding is that this stuff was much more like college athletes getting paid under the table than an exclusive travesty.

I was driving home last night and the radio was on 790 and the azz clowns that were on the (9:30ish) Fox Sports Radio….absolute trash.
1. They kept going on and on about the Astros still stealing signs and how once you e tasted the sweet nectar of cheating to win you never go back. And how we're still stealing signs but just doing it to the most possible within the rules etc etc
2. Then start talking about how the Giants were up with a chance to blow the game open…and I bet they weren't doing it by cheating. Riiight the team that was supposed to be dead last and has a 36yr old SS who's playing the best season of his life sounds totally up and up
2. Why does a Houston sports talk station have on a national show and allow it to just destroy their home town team. 4th largest city on the country and we can't stick with local shows at 9pm

So not cheating, got it

The way he was referring to it was that we were still finding way to do stuff others weren't doing or others weren't willing to do because all in all were just a horrible organization and no other teams are. It was pathetic
Any guesses as to game time on Saturday?

Yea. Pre-2021 LMJ is probably a decent comp. Obviously he has nasty stuff and high upside potential. Just hasn't shown the ability to stay on the mound.Farmer1906 said:Good question.

Was wondering if maybe we could snag him for a 2/$30mm type of deal. Or maybe he gets to the end of the free agency period with no bites on a long term deal and is willing to do a 1 year prove-it deal. We could manage his innings, give him access to our baseball nerds and tone down his chest pounds a little. Could be a win-win.

No.
Absolutely not
That being said, isn't it MLBs call in playoffs, not the Astros?

So, can forearm tightness/pain come from anything other than ligament damage? A pitcher doesn't typically pull a forearm muscle, do they? I know we'll find out more today but I can't stop thinking about this. Having Chris Paul injury flashbacks.
I like where your head is at. With the tax goes down and the market is flooded with some serious talent, we may be able to find some deals.Deluxe said:Yea. Pre-2021 LMJ is probably a decent comp.

That is if we don't blow our load on Correa.
I think the model we need to use to convince Correa is what Arenado got. 8/260 M, front loaded, opt outs after year 3 and 4. We'll probably just need t increase everything by about 10-15%.

Good stuff from Danielle.
Quote:
Garcia's bounceback from the hellish Game 3 was most notable. The righthander, inserted in the middle of an at-bat, was proof of Baker's bullpen mismanagement Sunday. He made Baker look smart Tuesday by dispatching the top of the White Sox lineup on 21 pitches, including an 11-pitch battle against Tim Anderson.
Astros pitching coach Brent Strom said he and catcher Martn Maldonado crafted a strategy for Garcia to avoid another disastrous outing.
"He really fits well, especially in the top of the order against those three righthanders, and he pitched exceptionally well," Strom said. "Before he warmed up, we called down there and said, 'Follow the plan,' and 'Maldy has a plan.'"
Maton retired the side in order in the sixth inning on 12 pitches with one strikeout. The former Cleveland Indians pitcher has yet to allow a run in three postseason appearances with the Astrostotaling three innings.
"A lot of credit goes to our GM and our analytics people that recognized that Maton is a righthanded pitcher who has a uniqueness to get lefthanded hitters out, and I think that plays well for us," Strom said. "Whereas Yimi is very solid against righthanders, Maton, he kind of takes the place of Will Harris, when I had Will Harris and (Chris) Devenski in the previous years. It's like having a really solid lefthanded reliever even though they throw from the right side."
He also said he didn't think it was his ligament. We probably won't know anything until media day (I think that'd be Thursday).Farmer1906 said:Lance said it felt different than last time.AggieLit said:

Yes it can be. Could be common flexor tendons or muscle strain but the ligament is a real concern for pitchers.
What's the recovery time for those?aggiederelict said:

I'm no doctor, but I'm gonna guess it's longer than the remainder of the postseason.AggieLit said:What's the recovery time for those?aggiederelict said:
