Asking if anyone knows how to hit a baseball.

Brantley was due for a trip to the IL for "old guy maintenance"
he only played in 121 games last year...and he is/was on pace to play around 140 --- this IL stint will slow him down

I do not like splitting up yordan and Tucker. I guess dusty saw that worked well and figured "well I have to stop doing that". They should be giving JJ a chance to start in left or let yordan play in left and DH JJ. Send weird to send Chas down, yet favor him over JJ in the lineup.
woof...Yuli still with just 19 RBI on the season in 242 at-bats.
that is next level terra-bad.
I think Click knows what to do

Some good stuff here from Chas McCormick when asked if he was surprised if he was sent down Sunday. pic.twitter.com/DqQkqlmbNI

Chas McCormick was sent down Sunday but didn’t leave NY. He’s back now with Brantley on IL. pic.twitter.com/QXAe2oeZhS

The challenge with Yuki is similar to that of Maldonado. A player who isn't producing offensively but it's a solid defensive player. Pulling maldy would have a negative impact to the morale of the pitching staff. Pulling yuli would negatively impact the morale of all the Cuban players on the team and throughout the organization. He is revered as a god by Cuban players for his heritage with the Cuban national team. It's a very delicate situation.
Enoli Paredes is back with the Astros. In 25 appearances in Triple-A this season, he had a 0.93 ERA with 41 strikeouts, .152 batting opponent average and a 1.07 WHIP. pic.twitter.com/MUnBDJ6fCQ

among 1B, C, and CF --- Click has to address one of these positions at the trade deadline.
and with Dubon's flexibility to play CF and SS...I think first base is the spot to upgrade.
not sure there would be room on the roster for Diaz, Yuli, and a new first baseman

I can't see Diaz or Yuli going anywhere.

Diaz might have some trade value
that's what I'm thinking.
Diaz is a free agent at the end of the season.
Dubon kind of makes him expendable
(and Diaz' sub-.600 OPS also makes him expendable)

If we are trading with a non contender, why would they take on a utility player who is a rental? I do wonder what we could actually get back for him that would be useful at the major league level.
Of the two, I could see Diaz given what Dubon has done to date. I agree neither are going though.Farmer1906 said:

I think you try to find a 1B/DH type like Mancini.
You can then basically play musical chairs with yordan/yuli and player X between DHing and 1B and LF

I bet they try sticking JJ in LF a time or two at minute maid.

Ok boys, representing at Citi Field tonight. Lots of Astro fans out tonight. Let's get a win!
It's crazy comparing those BAs to the Astros' record.redline248 said:

He sucks. That's all there is to it. I'm not worried about ruining some perceived Cuban pipeline. These guys generally go wherever they get the most money.

Refrain =/= abstain.

Ok. She has my permission to let it loose!
That might be the best swing Tucker has had all season. CRUSHED
Traditional AL 3 run HR for NL park
Tucker really is the "3 run homerun guy"
