I just read they would option Salazar.

That could have the added bonus of forcing the old man to play Yainer more .

My assumption (completely guessing here) is that Luis Garcia is moving to the 60 day IL

That seems like it would make the most sense.

I guess it's also possible Whitley could go on the 60 day? Also wonder when Enoli and his 8 ERA at Sugar Land will get the DFA.

Lol at the samurai helmet. All I can think about is the pimp cane thing from the UCLA game 4 or 5 years ago. Then I get pissed.


Just about every team has something now. The Samurai hat is at the very top. Especially when Shohei wears it.


We need one. An astronaut helmet would be awesome.


Catching up on the thread...

Ohtani had the samurai helmet made by a legit armor maker in Japan. It is the real deal. He paid like $4k for it. I think it is pretty cool.


That's awesome, I'm sure the samurai armor guy could use the business


Sounds like they make most of the stuff used in TV and film. And looks like it was about $2400...I was remembering incorrectly.

That is really awesome.

I've always wanted to commission a master crafted samurai sword. For no other reason then to say I have a master crafted samurai sword...


...oh, and zombies, you know, JIC.

That's also true and makes sense.

With Father's day coming up if anyone needs anything let me know. Doesn't have to be Astros specific. Got coasters, cutting boards, tumblers all ready to be done and shipped in time for next week.

Yainer now with a greater wRC+ than Julks, and overall the team wRC+ is at 99.

Another fantastic outing from Spencer Arrighetti in Corpus Christi last night. 5 innings of shutout ball. Seven strikeouts.

I remember hearing the organization felt like they got a steal when they drafted him. We just might have something if he keeps progressing.





He had a rough first 2-3 starts at the beginning of the year (it happens) but he's figured it out in a big way since then.

TED needs to pick up the power numbers. He had 3 homers in the first week of the season, and 4 since then. Only 2 of those have came in the last 37 games. Lowest OPS since his rookie debut.

Batting average and on-base is decent, but we need more pop to protect Yordan and carry Abreu.

I called it out when the warning was placed on ranger thread OP and in the title. There is a tradition in baseball, when one bench gets warned, both benches get warned!!!

Staph is baseball illiterate!!!

xSLG is 87%. He's got one of the largest gaps in SLG & xSLG (29th @ -0.067). His major flaw is hitting the ball to the wrong part of the park including 2 403' outs. I would probably put him down the ist of guys to worry about.

For the roster move for Kessinger, maybe Whitley to the 60-day IL? Dana did say he was going to be out about 3-4 months.

I know one thing...I'm not at all worried about organizational depth and development on the pitching side of things.

The way we find and development young pitchers to come up and be successful is incredible. From Framber, Urquidy, Javier, Abreu, now into guys like Brown, France, and Blanco is insane.

It really is like 'Oh hey the Astros are bring up another stud to throw into the rotation again'.

Also -- side note -- I like what Dana is doing with the system. He's giving some guys that have been in the minors a while a shot at the bigs to see if they stick. If they don't, then they get DFA'd (see JJ). Also, those looks could entice potential trade suitors.

How do you know she wasn't banned?

Well, for starters she posted this morning on the other thread. Also, staff posted this: [We don't allow trolling on these threads and this is the only warning that you get without a ban. -Staff]

That warning was posted on the person's SECOND comment on this thread. Like I said, must have been an oversight.

Abreu is still at 50. Hopefully the off day did him some good.

With Salazar being sent down there is even less chance Daz plays now than there was before. Certainly the 1B opportunities will drop to 0.

Thought the same thing. Even any DH opportunities disappear. It's catching or bench.

This is not a good for any hopes that Diaz was gonna get more PT.

Let's be real. Dusty failed to use the roster like Dana intended. The lions share of Yainer's PA have come from starting behind the plate. This will either force Dusty to catch him more and sit him a little more.

Right now Yainer's only on pace for ~200 PA

Correct me if I'm wrong, but every day a guy like JP France is on the Major League roster he makes the league minimum correct? And every day he's back in AAA he makes 1/6th? Is that correct? I bet he's enjoying the big bucks.

League minimum is like $750k, right? That's a big difference if so…

Same song, different GM. Crane can't get rid of the old man fast enough

Yes, I believe so, I just don't know how it's paid out, if it's by game or like a salary divided by day. If it is by game he's on the active roster; he's making a cool $4740 a game.
