one interesting thing...

the Astros and Orioles have zero playoff history...and basically zero rivalry and so forth

a series vs. Baltimore would be a chance to add another franchise / team to the victims list or haters list

I am for Giolito, especially if we think we can and intend on signing him as a free agent.

It's funny, I think Chas is a good player and he's been valuable for Houston. But the front office probably looks at stuff like this and thinks "yeah we can afford to lose that"

strange numbers

Chas' exit velocity seemed fine on the game-winning hits the past 2 days

I brought this up a day or two ago, but this is pretty important - I think.









edit: his career numbers in those categories tell a similar story

Chas was pretty "lucky" at the beginning of the year. He came back and wasn't great. But over the last month he's been fire and it ain't luck.

Over the last month
90.2 EV
108.6 Max EV
12% Barrel%
40% Hard Hit%

Just landed in Houston from Boston and going to my first home game today in a couple years. Can't wait.

I've been reading way too much Chas to the Yankees bits.

CWS wouldn't trade Robert for just Chas and Meyers. Astros would have to throw in a top prospect arm and/or possibly Gilbert to get them to listen. 4.5 years of control is an enormous amount for a player like Robert. Personally, I would hold on that and focus on a SP (like Giolito) and medium impact LH bat (or RH with good splits vs RHers).

The question is what are you giving up for Giolito? This is shaping up like a great sellers market because so few teams are out of it and several of those have nothing but hot garbage to trade. It's very likely someone else can beat any offer we make for an impactful player. They've already said they won't trade Gilbert for a rental but that may very well be the cost.

I just wish they would be the trendsetter and not be forced to play the market set by someone else. Get it done early.

There was an Astros thread on Premium. I guess the Rangerettes cried until it was deleted. So pathetic…

They are trying so hard to be relevant. Look at us, look at us! See their all star voting as exhibit 1.

Is Premium restricted to Aggie sports only? If so I guess they have a point. Still, instead of weeping, wailing and gnashing one's of teeth to get the Astros thread off, why not just start one dedicated to the Rangers?

It was a one-off troll by derm and was never going to last overnight. I am guessing a regular thread would be allowed

You bet it was against the rules, and Arlington fan's response is what was so funny.

Sounds like Yordan is only standing in, not swinging

I don't know if Urquidy will come back and give more than Bielak or Blanco has offered, but just having him here to lengthen games or be a multi-inning reliever to take up some slack will be huge.

The D/FW sports fan only cares about relevancy. It's why you see the excessive hype about the Rangers having all-stars. It's also basically Jerry Jones' sports business model for the last few decades.

I frankly would have put Kessinger in for Bregman. He looks mentally exhausted. That throw on the rundown yesterday was brutal.

He grabbed an Uber after Dusty told the bus to leave without him.

Amazing how much better any lineup automatically looks with Maldonado out of it.

We need to get Altuve more games at DH while Yordan is out. He's the second most important bat on the team and we can't afford to have him dinged up. Also makes sense to work in Dubon some at 2B.

The Rockies are the A's of the national league. We should feast on them (key word should)

But this is also the 1st time he's not been in one of Dusty's spring training AAA Sugarland lineups.

Maldy needs a break but we need a sub .200 hitter in the lineup. Kessinger get in there!!!
