That Reynolds deal is such a steal
Much like one the Astros worked out last year.

Maldy is turning into a passed balls machine. His defense was his biggest asset, but that is failing him. And with the new rules, it doesn't even matter if he's a strong defensive catcher.

Dusty refuses to see the obvious.

tonight is game #24 of the season for the 2023 Astros

game #24 last year was the second win in the 11-game win streak that erased the 2022's club slow April start

Funny thing is... if we still had Grienke, we would 100% be better off DHing for Maldy and letting Grienke hit

Hensley has to be a better fielder than Abreu, he just has to be. Put him at 1b and DH Abreu

Interesting point. We're basically playing under old NL rules with Maldy in the lineup everyday.

This is obviously just for fun...

But Grienke had a career average of .225 with a .262 OBP and .598 OPS.

Maldonado has career numbers of .208/.284/.631

Mike Hampton? .246/.294/.650

Brandon Backe? .256/.317/.731

Dontrelle Willis and Carlos Zambrano also had higher career OPS than Maldy

Maybe he should check and make sure they didn't give him the Altuve or Chas replica ring that fans got - I wouldn't have a problem with that.

Out for the year.

Click maybe didn't make the best move signing him, but he was brilliant moving him.

Hensley at DH has to be the worst idea in the world. His only asset is that he plays like 12 positions, he's a terrible hitter. Why in the name of God put him at DH?

Eh, congrats to Odo. The dude ate up some innings, and though his performance at times didn't reflect it and he was way overpaid, the guy is a competitor and helped where needed.

Sure would be nice to get Diaz some ABs at DH. Could you imagine back to back games? He's only about 25 PA behind Hensley.

Zambrano hit .536 for his career against the Astros with 37 home runs.
He also went 23-0 against the Astros with an 0.02 ERA and threw 14 no-hitters against us IIRC.

So I'm in deep enemy territory for work, I got in the Uber at the airport and after a few minutes he asked where from. I debated just saying Texas, but I didn't. A moment of silence, a big sigh from the first seat… "You're an Astros fan ain't ya?" I laughed and said yup "Well ****, they did exactly what they was supposed to do, Phil's weren't even supposed to make the playoffs and y'all did exactly what you was supposed to"

I've debated trying to get a ticket to the Phil's tomorrow evening but I'm not very close to the stadium. I consciously did not pack any Orange/Blue which is rare for me


Sorry for your week in Philly. Hey, at least there's cheesesteak.

It's not all bad. Conference early today. Then walked down to the art museum and the rocky statue. Swung by the Catholic cathedral basilica which was beautiful.

Tomorrows free time is heading towards independence hall and Liberty bell

He's been bad this season but he is not a terrible hitter.

I went to Independence Hall years ago with my wife. There was a group of students there as well. The tour guide mentioned that Abraham Lincoln's body had laid in state there as it was transported back to Illinois from Washington DC.

A few minutes later, we heard one student tell another, "I knew Lincoln was shot here, but I didn't know they buried him here too."


If you have a sweet tooth, I highly recommend the Franklin Fountain.

Of course if we win the next two then we can't switch back.
