Trying to convince the wife we need to add Hulu (of course we already have Prime, Netflix, Disney+ and HBO Max) so we can watch it. Still have freaking DirecTV so I can watch the Astros in the DFW footprint, which is nice with no blackout rules, but dropping too much coin for TV.RED AG 98 said:100% this could be one of Matthew Rhys' aliases in the The Americans.Prosperdick said:
Debut of J.P. France tonight but this picture suspiciously looks like Alex Bregman pulling a Johnny Football undercover look:
Have we seen Bregman and France at the same place at the same time?

According to just watch (link) it is available to stream for free on DTV and Hulu. They are wrong sometimes but might be worth checking if you haven't recently. We thought it was fantastic.
ETA: LOL - just watch .com censored because the TA filter is leading edge 1999 technology.
ETA2: I freaking give up trying to share the url. Just go to "just watch.com" without a space and search... TA really needs to fix this.

Luis Garcia needs Tommy John surgery

Oooooooff
Big blow to the season. If only Whitely lived up to his potential. Jim Crane "you can always use more starting pitching" and then promptly didn't pick up starting pitching. It's one thing to pass on JV but this was a real possibility that someone gets injured. Urquidy should be the insurance pitcher, not part of the starting 5
I guess the good news is that he should be good to go sometime next season ?
Did you really think we needed a 7th starter on the 26 man?
Yes, can never have too much pitching.
It's all but obvious LMJ will never last an entire season so I would've never included him in the starting five mentality going into the spring. Anything you get from him these days should be considered gravy on top.
Pitchers get hurt every year. When was the last time a starting rotation went an entire year without someone going on the IL? Prolly never.
Hence why I was banging the drum before the year started to get Bauer. This team needs another proven arm. Hopefully Brown can make a move soon for someone.

If we had made that deal we wouldn't even know Contreras sucks at calling a game yet because he'd only be playing once a week.Farmer1906 said:
Glad we didn't make that deal.

His toxicity has nothing to do with allegations of cheating and everything to do with him being a crappy piece of human debris who gets off paying women who let him beat them up.
So he has a sexual kink "allegedly" that some people don't agree with? Hopefully the entire MLB isn't forced to publicize what they enjoy in there private time.
MLB teams have a public exposure. It's considered family entertainment and they need people and families going to games and buying hot dogs, cokes, beers, shirts, hats, ice cream nachos and god knows what else. They don't need the bad PR of a guy whose private live of liking to beat up women for jollies has now been exposed very publicly. They certainly don't need women's groups calling them out on it or it being the headline in the news.
Legal has nothing to do with it.
Oh no the Astros might get boo'd on the road or make people angry.
I don't know if what you're saying is true. but I know he isn't in prison or has never been convicted of anything so I'm going to lean towards that over Twitter and what not.
As far as making people angry.
Boo louder!
On a positive note I think we'd finally move past the cheating scandal.
The negative side of it is that we would now start getting booed at home as well.
What he's saying is 100% true. They'll never do it because of the financial consequences.

He's clearly being blackballed by baseball. It's not happening.
As a fan, I want to actually like the players on my team. I understand the value Osuna brought, but I despised having him on the Astros.this would be like that all over again.

Did you hate having Biggio on the team because he drove drunk and tried to bribe the cop? Which of the two is worse? If Biggio had worse luck and crashed & killed someone that day instead of getting pulled over, would he be any better or worse of a human?
If Osuna had stuck around and done a bunch of good with Houston kids, would he be back in your good graces?
At the end of the day they are all flawed humans like the rest of us.

Exactly.
But yet you somehow managed to get over your hate for Osuna and still supported the team.

I don't buy it. Sure we're all sinners. But that doesn't mean some people as scum who have no moral compass while others generally try to do the right thing.

No, I did not get over it.
It's going to be a tough debut for France with no CF.........
The picture it cropped. Just click on it.
I agree with that, in general. Biggio is a good dude that made a mistake. Why cant the same be true of Osuna?
Don't forget that Julio Lugo got run out of town over similar allegations which his wife later recanted. She admitted she made the whole thing up to get back at him for something rather. I can't remember details, but it was all bogus and he ended up having a good career with no further issues.

I read this in Yoda's voice
What happened with Biggio?
Just checked on Lugo's Wikipedia page to see what he has been up to and apparently he kidnapped a couple at gunpoint at one point. So maybe not a good dude after all.
He also died of a heart attack a few years ago. I missed that obit.
Anyway I think the organization has a pretty good moral compass as far as personnel goes. I'd rather not have Bauer (but mostly because I think he's a dewsh). But I will root for him unabashedly if we sign him. Which we won't..

He was 23 and has lived an examplary life since.
Free money
Man I never knew that, we always loved him in my house growing up because he was Catholic, did a lot of work with the Sunshine kids and went to Seton Hall.
For some reason my parents never liked Bagwell much, even though I loved him because I had his rookie card.

38 to win 5 is a lot of things but free it ain't
Would love to see Hensley have a good game at the plate. He's due.
Is federal witness protection handled by the US Marshals Service?
You know Abreu dings tonight.
is anyone else worried he might just be done as a great baseball player?BadAggie said:

I mean obviously he will turn it around some but has anyone ever non-injured hit this bad for this long and then come back to play at an all-star level?
I always thought Lugo was crazy jacked and wouldn't doubt if he was a roid freak.
For sure. I think this organization had a pretty strong roid culture. I think they were all juicing.
But I mean, so was most of baseball so…
But I mean, so was most of baseball so…
I think he's done. When you play at an elite level it doesn't take much of a decline to be completely worthless, I also wouldn't doubt that he's older than 36, Cuban records on that kinda stuff being what they are.
I believe he claims he started playing professional baseball in Cuba at age 21 or so, but I wouldn't doubt he was 16-18 years old and is pushing 40.

I think it's free. -775 odds is about an 88.5% chance of happening, which means there's an 11.5% chance he hits a homer, multiply that by 162, and that equates to about 19 hr a season, I don't think he'll reach half of that
Y'all remember when Julio was the new face of baseball? Some of the MLBN guys were talking about how close he was to overtaking Trout as the top CFer.
He has a 94 wRC+. Below Pena & Bregman yet just above Dubon.
