Any update on Uncle Mikes status?


Hate to say it but the official announcement he's done for the season will likely be made Aug. 2nd.

That the Astros are still looking for a bat and the dearth of info on his return ('hey he ran the bases') tells you all you need to know.

Hope I'm wrong.
someone please tell this to Julia

she's been giving optimistic and glowing (and wrong) reports about Brantley's health for 4 months

Pretty sure Julia's job is pretty much 24/7 optimism and glowing.

I think Dusty will want both of them to DH to "ease" back into things. Id still play 44 in LF and Tuve as DH but the hell do I know.

Julia just reports what she's seeing Brantley do and what she's heard from interviews with Dusty, Dana, etc. Plus she's hot.

heard Dana on 790 this morning and it sure sounded like to me that yordan and Altuve would be in the lineup tonight.

Yeah probably but it makes no sense.

What's the point of his extra day BS policy then?

Get these guys in the lineup, let them mash, assert your dominance with a sweep over your division foe to pull into a tie and LFG!

Our offseason acquisitions/signings.......wow.......

Almost like not having a real GM all off-season impacted analysis and decision making.
we won a World Series without a real coach so we should be okay

The ONLY acceptable and correct response!
I disagree
Fightin' Texas Aggie Baseball - 4
Fightin' Texas Aggie Football - 4
Houston Astors - 2


My list:

Year 1: Astros
Year 2: Astros, Aggie FB
Year 3: Astros, Aggie FB, Aggie baseball, Aggie basketball
Year 4 Astros, Aggie FB
Year 5: Astros

Make year three the first year of the sips and okies in the SEC and that would be epic

this would definitely be the smart thing to do --- especially with a chance to clinch the tiebreaker

but we know Dusty is looking at that off day on Thursday...

Now the Rangerettes are talking themselves into getting JV.

They get JV, Robertson, a bucket load of cash for 2 single A players.

I would think JV would want to be on a championship caliber team.

I think at this point in his career JV isn't going to any city that he's not familiar with.

As I mentioned earlier, our series win and possible sweep is going to make the Rangers desperate to make moves.

You see that guy I'm pointing to? That's Dusty Baker. He's in charge and I take my walking orders from him.

Except grapesoda, who likely was high at the time, saying he would rather have Max because JV has "Astros taint all over him."

I wonder if that idiot knows Max has been busted for cheating. Oh who are we kidding, they have a girlfriend beater as their closer, they are hypocrites of the highest order.

Remember in school when they taught about the importance of an apostrophe. This is a great example.

completely disagree. Rangers are a dang good team and I could easily see JV accepting a trade there knowing good well they are World Series contenders.

JV has a no trade clause. If he knows there are offers from Houston & Arlington, all he has to say is he'll wave for the Astros reunion and that deal could get done even if the Rangers make a better offer.

That's debatable about the Rangers

I was just more speaking to relocating to a city he's not familiar with. If he has a choice (which he does) I can't imagine he'd be on board to uproot the family again and move to a city neither of them have any familiarity with.

Hell he was hesitant to do it back in 2017 before he had a family.

I know he has a no trade clause. That's why I said I could see him "accepting" it and going to TX if it is a possibility.

And I agree that if he has the option between Houston and the Rangers he'd most likely choose Houston.

Brice Matthews had his first game today in the rookie league. Started at SS and went 0/3 with a walk and a k. Stole a couple bags.
