They will lose a game two against bad teams so don't chalk up auto wins yet.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
Ronel Blanco would be on five days rest to start tomorrow, if the Astros summon him. They would need to put a pitcher on the injured list to do so, though. Blanco hasn't been down for at least 15 days.

Interesting point on Blanco...they could IL Javier for "arm fatigue"
Yep. We will too. Kicking off a trip to Arches, CanyonLands, Bryce and the North RimKC_Ag14 said:And I'll be at Coors the 18th!W said:
nice 2-game sweep of the Rockies
they are a bad team.
'stros will seem them again in 2 weeks
Did I miss an announcement on switching Valdez from Thursday to Saturday?
Is Dusty trying to manipulate it to not have him pitch in the All Star Game? He had been announced as the Thursday starter, which would have put the All Star Game on his normal pitching day.
As far as tomorrow's TBA, you pretty much have to IL Javier for tired arm or make up an injury to a reliever or else you have to start Mushinski/Martinez tomorrow and make it a true bullpen game. Both Blanco and Dubin are ineligible to be recalled before the All-Star break without an injury.

Of course we almost did too today.

I'm assuming Blanco comes up and starts?
I thought pitchers had to go down 15 days?
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.
MAGA
MAGA
Also, you have to figure that even if Altuve avoided anything serious, if he is not going to play before the break, they should be ILing him retroactive to Tuesday so that he can be eligible to return to start the second half.
Bannon for Altuve? Or just stick with Kessinger as a middle IF back up and bring Salazar back?

That is for IL stints. For shuttling between majors and minors it is 10 days for both position players and pitchers unless there is an IL posting that forces a move.
EDIT: Actually as I posted this I remembered that they changed option windows at the same time as the differentiated IL lengths. So yes, a pitcher has to stay down 15 days before he can be recalled.
In this case it doesn't matter as none of our obvious candidates can be recalled with an IL posting as they have all been down on the farm for less than one week.

LMAO Chandler Rome is throwing out trading Yainer Diaz to get a starting pitcher on 790… he just loves for people to hate him

Well we know that he's just going to ride the bench when Yordan comes back. Might as well get something for him.

Sure. As long as we get Zach Gallen or Spencer Strider.
I don't think Yainer is untouchable, but I highly doubt we move him unless we're getting impact guys in return.
I'd consider as part of a package for Cease and Robert (for example), but there aren't many potential deals that would merit his inclusion.

Yainer, Abreu and Melton for Goldschmidt, Contreras and Montgomery.
I'm joking. Sounds like the Cards are not enjoying the Contreras catching experience….

Just a reminder that we got Maton and Diaz for Straw.
James Click was a very good GM.

Now the Guardians need a CF again. I've got a shiny Jake Meyers for some low A talent that wants to become an Astros All Star in 2026…..

I think I know why they changed their name…they got tired of hearing "the Indians got fleeced on a trade."
The Astros optioned left-handed pitcher Parker Mushinski to Triple-A Sugar Land.

To make room on the Space Cowboys’ roster, right-handed pitcher Jimmy Endersby was transferred to the development list again.
Who are they going to try and bring back up?
Diaz should only be dealt for someone like Goldy or Robert.
Now Korey 'The next Realmuto' Lee can be the catcher trade bait.

Would they have had to transfer that other guy off the roster if the Astros were calling someone up?EastCoastAgNc said:The Astros optioned left-handed pitcher Parker Mushinski to Triple-A Sugar Land.

I'll accept and sign and trade for Oh.
Interesting. There is no one they can bring "back" up by this as none of them have been down for long enough.
This tells me Kuhnel or Watkins, one of the two fringe guys we picked up and stashed on the 40-man, is about to make his Astros debut.

Saw this and thought folks around here would appreciate

Mariano Rivera's career WHIP was exactly 1.000. Ryan Pressly's career WHIP with HOU is 0.918.
Don't trade Diaz, don't trade Chaz! I have no doubt we'd have a 3-5 game division lead if those 2 had been playing every day with only a rest day here and there - not the other way around.

Kuhnel has a 2.25 ERA in 3 games with Sugar Land. Doesn't say much but Watkins has a 45.00 ERA in his short time there.
I actually think it'll be Gage and they do a bullpen day
While that is possible, I am not sure why they would switch out Mushinski for Gage if the point is to eat innings as a long reliever. That is what Mushinski is already there for.
Gage has started 119 games in the minors. Maybe that factors in if that is indeed the move
That is a good point. It has been a couple of years, but he is a former starter.
Of the two newbies, even though the numbers are ugly, Watkins is the only starter as Kuhnel appears to have been a reliever his entire minor league career. Admittedly, I know next to nothing about either guy.
