The "good" news is it clarifies your trade deadline plans. I'm not as concerned about a bench bat as I was a few weeks ago but at least they do know for sure the Brantley fantasy is over.

Maldy needs a break but we need a sub .200 hitter in the lineup. Kessinger get in there!!!
I'll take it!

Kessinger due to break out!

Anyone who thought Uncle Mike was coming back was delusional.

At least this year it's definitive for the front office before the deadline.

Would have been really nice to still have Yuli as a veteran bat off the bench as well as spelling Abreu, especially early in the season when he was on the struggle bus.

You could almost make a case Yuli could have been the difference in several games and we might be tied or in the lead right now. Oh well, at least we know we can't count on Uncle Mike this year.

Do we think Brantley's contract was insurable given he was signed with an existing injury? Or is that totally dead money for Crane?

Crane isn't paying. Bagwell is.

Not good. Tuve just can't seem to stay healthy this year. Approaching the age where that's going to be more common.

Too much trouble for Dusty to alter the lineup much. Julks, you bat 2nd

Not sure about you, but I'm ready for this first half to be dead and buried. The Astros are in position to make a run, but it damn sure hasn't been because of lucky breaks.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Yeah, I've been told for a while that Brantley's return was pretty unlikely which is why I kept saying we should tap the brakes there. It sucks. Not sure why he just can't seem to get right.

The Altuve thing is beyond frustrating. This whole season is beyond frustrating. Just find a way to take care of business today and keep at it.

Hopefully Tucker takes his place @ ASG. He deserves it.

What's the deal with these injuries? Some seem legit and others are head scratchers. Peña still not back from sleeping wrong. It seems like we sideline people for the equivalent of a hangnail.

It just doesn't make sense. Is some of this just a ploy to give players extended breaks during the season so they're fresh late?

Stupid take.

To put all the blame for the injuries on the "medical staff" shows total lack of experience not only in baseball, but in sports in general.

Our sports medicine and athletic performance staff is one of the most respected in baseball. It's also the same staff that has helped us win 2 World Series and kept the franchise healthy enough to become a dynasty.

Hamate. So Trout will be out 6 weeks from the date of surgery and basically have reduced power for 6 weeks after that. In other words, the rest of the season.

Hey Crane. Could you spare a few bucks and put AC in the 1st level restrooms ? Fricken sweatbox.

If hurt during batting practice I would guess he hurt his oblique again.

In the upper deck while you're at it. It's got to be 85 degrees up here.

I noticed the A/C was pretty crappy during the Nationals series. Rumor is that they are waiting on parts. I have no idea, but it isn't great.

The biggest injury had nothing to do with age.

He's getting hurt so often he's beginning to lose any realistic shot at 3000. He was already on the wrong side of 50-50.

Does anyone have a realistic shot at 3000 anymore?

Guys sit more and batting averages are lower. The active hits leader under age 30 is Lindor at 1240.
