another great thing about the Astros' win today...
the 'stros take a 4-3 lead in the season series
there are no more game 163's
so these tiebreakers are very important

Beilak better not throw batting practice, can't afford to stress the bullpen yet again.

Dana Brown should be fired if he trades McCormick. I was concerned when they let Springer walk and I haven't been the biggest McCormick guy, but he looks like the everyday CF to me. If they trade him now, after ignoring cf in free agency? Woof.
Dana better be talking to him...loudly, about shifting Diaz to catching the majority of games and also telling Espada to be more forceful in letting Dusty know when to yank a pitcher.Marvin said:W said:

Dusty has no defense for playing Maldy at this point. It's just a man ignoring the facts. He has convinced himself of an absolute lie.
If alive today, Hans Christian Andersen would write a story on him... something about a leader wearing invisible clothes.

Of course, this all comes back to Dusty's worst trait, his stubbornness, which is on steroids now that he finally has a ring. We can't wait for Yordan to return to take the DH and let Diaz start catching, every game counts and we can't have that ****ing noodle bat and pass ball catching albatross screw up any more games.

This is exactly why I'm fine with Pena struggling a bit with his bat. SS and catcher are the two positions where defense usually trumps offense but now with Maldy letting pass balls go by left and right and only throwing out as many runners as Diaz there's no metric that any manager could use to play him regularly other than just saying "fan stuff." Infuriating!!Marvin said:Prosperdick said:Dana better be talking to him...loudly, about shifting Diaz to catching the majority of games and also telling Espada to be more forceful in letting Dusty know when to yank a pitcher.Marvin said:W said:

I looked at defensive stats earlier. Can't remember the metric, but Maldy was ahead of only two other catchers that play full time. He has to be at least league average with no offense. Give us something.
Oh believe me, I almost put in a qualifier when I posted that and yes, I fully expect the donkey to keep trotting Moldy out there when Yordan returns.Beau Holder said:Prosperdick said:Dana better be talking to him...loudly, about shifting Diaz to catching the majority of games and also telling Espada to be more forceful in letting Dusty know when to yank a pitcher.Marvin said:W said:

It's funny you think Diaz will catch when Yordan comes back. Get prepared for Yordan to DH and Maldy to continue catching anyway.

Gotta get Chas to the plate....
Definitely...happy to be the first to star your post.tjack16 said:
To me the positions that should be locked down right now
1B - Abreu
2B - Altuve
3B - Bregman
SS - Pena
RF - Tucker
CF - Chas
LF - Dubon
DH - Yordan
C - Diaz
That should be your starting 9. Rotate Dubon around and give other guys DH spots if you want to give them "rest"
Would love, love, love to have Salvador Perez. The problem is that he just signed a 4-year $82 million contract. That might cost the Astros twice- in prospects and payroll. I'm not sure that fits with Diaz as a primary catcher or the team cost in the coming years.Wabs said:
Once again, Dana needs to DFA Maldy during the ASB and call Lee up. Or work a trade and bring Perez from KC in here. Maldy gives this team nothing and is a black hole at the plate.

And like clockwork, the Rangerette thread has devolved to the "Astro Aggies are little men" tripe.
When you get that ass whipped, go home and cry to mama. Well, at least they're used to it.

Trade for a starter and reliever. Maybe a cheap lefty off the bench bat but you can roll with that starting lineup and be successful

Bunch of whiny little *****es. They should just be happy with their 52 all stars.
