Stand alone gas grill instead of built in. The spa is half drained and in need of repair. 2 visible mold/wtf stains that haven't been power washed.......

3/10.... WNB


I'd eat that after she ran a marathon

Yainer has an .812 OPS.

Only 5 Astros AT CATCHER ever had finished a season with a higher OPS (min 300 PA).

I didn't get to watch today. How did Dubon look at first? Any challenge plays come his way?

I wonder if Dana will be in STL to look at some players to pick. Flaherty would be a good get but don't know what we'd have to give up…

Probably not as much as you think. He hasn't been great this year.

May be ripe for a cheap picking then. I think he'd make a good 4. New scenery, team, etc

Over the last 2 seasons (he's been slightly worse in 23) he has a 4.73 ERA, 4.44 FIP, 1.603 WHIP, 89 ERA+.

Seems like a move for the sake of making a move. While I wouldn't mind another solid SP, seems pointless by itself. This team's issue is hitting. If you aren't addressing that then just ride it out and hope for the best.

Ok, trade for Flaherty and Goldschmidt.

Yeah, I don't get the love with Flaherty. Maybe as a short term free agent signing if you need a 4/5, but at the trade deadline needing a solid #3 arm? No way.

Maybe we want the Jose Abreu version of a starter.

Because he was a stud rookie and ace for a season before falling off and staying injured.

We're looking to trade for a solid #3 SP??? This is the first time I've seen this mentioned here. I think a solid 4/5 that can also provide long relief help. No?

I hope we're trading for someone worthy of completing with Brown, France, & Urquidy for the 3/4 playoff rotation spot.

Very conveniently timed for release right before the dodgers series. Rob can go to hell, so much for wanting to move on.

If the Red Sox fall enough to sell, James Paxton would be a good one to look at. He's having a decent year and on a 1 year deal

Offer Jake and a prospect for Jack Flaherty. That's what I'd do

I would rather spend trade capital on an impact bat (or two) than on a #3. Yes, would be great to get both but a bat has to be the priority. Paying a premium for a SP that can be a #3 here won't be cheap. Everyone will be looking for that.

You can't "reconsider" immunity. That's ****ing dumb. Makes every piece of evidence they found under immunity rendered useless. And by the way, has immunity ever been given to ANY other players while their team has been investigated?? Manfred can go **** himself.

Hopefully the choice is not either or. I think the supply of mid tier arms are much more readily available than impact bats.

If we get an impact bat where do you put it?

I think Yordan, Tucker, Altuve, Bregman, & Pena are locks to stay in their roles. We don't need Chas & Yainer to have their roles reduced. They need more if anything. That's 7 guys right there. Abreu & Maldy are not going to be fully phased out. That leaves Dubon, Meyers, & Julks on the bench and potentially Brantley.

I was at game 6 when we won it last year. Me booing the **** out of Manfred during the trophy presentation was the 3rd best part of the night beyond Yordan's blast and Tuck's last out catch.

If he had not offered immunity no one would have talked. The MLBPA would have built a wall that would have dwarfed the Great Wall.

And once given it can't be revoked. That's idiotic and insane.

Jim Crane should tell him to duck off. As should the players

And you know who they never offered immunity to? The steroid users. They couldn't open that can of worms.

And the Yankees, Dodgers and Red Sox. They didn't get it. And they never talked.

Just another article where Evan Drellich is trying to stir things up. A whole bunch of nothing in the article except his own bloviating about his original article and book.
