The Cardinals are still selling. If both sides are unable to come to an agreement on terms, St. Louis will trade Hicks by the deadline. #STLCards https://t.co/E1Yef62xcO

Would rather have Chas and Breggy as the 1 and 2. Dubon and Pena......oof.....
In my super knowledgeable and educated opinion they don't want them to play in an intense series like this. They're waiting out the clock. Boys will be back Friday for the Tampa series.
I'm guessing if we win tonight, Yordan and Altuve might wait until Friday. But if we lose tonight I bet we see one of them if not both tomorrow
I wonder if we're just waiting for the Luis Robert deal to be finalized so we can drop Altuve, Robert and Yordan into the lineup on the same day
I am starting to think just a LHH bench player would be a good idea. No need to buy Bellinger. Maybe someone more like Charlie Blackmon. Let the Rockies cover part of his salary and they can give him away. Its a nice vet who can have professional ABs on the bench and get an occasional start at DH/LF. Same deal for Ji Man Choi. More power (and Ks) but can be Abreu insurance too.
He must have felt some kind of soreness after playing those games in Sugarland. That's the only thing that makes sense.
If the Astros were being overly cautious then they wouldn't have played him at AAA.

Yup. Even if you just simplified it to OBP.W said:
starting your lineup with...
.672 OPS and. 658 OPS is quite bold
and quite dumb
.292 & .288
I bet no one else in baseball runs out 2 batters with a combined .580 OBP.
Yankees - Mets on at 6:05 (TBS) might be worth keeping an eye on. JV on the bump for the last time as a Met.

Could have been second first time as an Astro
What makes no sense to me is, if Yordan is here, and Meyers is not in the lineup today, my not designate Meyers and let Yordan pinch hit? Or why didn't Yordan play in Sugar land yesterday if he was resting today?
SL is on the road. Meyers isn't being sent down.
Because Sugarland didn't have a game last night.

Stop ruining my points with facts

I get the need for two center fielders on the roster but am I mistaken it didn't Dubon play center last year? Survey he's good enough to rest Chas every 5 days. Hate to lose Julks over Meyer.
Dana Brown on payroll flexibility at the deadline: “We have some space. We definitely have space to add and next year there's even a little bit more space. But I'm not sure if we're going to be acquiring that type of a player that’s going to require to eat up a lot of our budget”

Duh! He got the Mets to pay it.
I mean, he said "I'm not sure" - so he's like 95% sure, just not 100% - I get it.......EastCoastAgNc said:Dana Brown on payroll flexibility at the deadline: “We have some space.

Hour and a half before game time and Dubon has already swung at the first pitch.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

We have walked 3 Rangers. And their fans are still *****ing about Tucker scoring the winning run last night on their version of Jake Meyers.
And some of our "fans" have already started the wave.
Honest question..Is Dana dictating all of this to gauge how much help he needs to acquire..is this a last second chance for guys like Jake to prove their worth? (As if the first 3 months wasn't long enough to gauge)
I think it's just a meaningless sound bite. I'd take all of that with a very small grain of salt.
I know..I'm just being very impatient and want our studs in the lineup
I still can't get over the fact that at some point tonight, maybe more than once, we will send 3 consecutive batters to the plate who have OBP of .237, .292, and .288.
Designate Myers…! That's never happening! What on Earth would make you think they're going to cut him when Bligh still keeps a spotJ Peterman said:

you have to allocate 10 championships/titles among your favorite teams/athletes for the next 5 years — how do you do it?
