So he's rocking a 200k watch, a ring with a value of who knows what, a tailored suit that I bet costs at least $10k and he's drinking hotel coffee out of a paper cup.Farmer1906 said:

I know absolutely nothing about watches other than how to tell time, but why would JV's watch have a dark circle in the upper left side and your image doesn't?
Never mind - his is "upside down" in the picture. /duh
Astros optioned OF Corey Julks to Triple-A Sugar Land after yesterday’s game. A corresponding roster move will be made prior to tomorrow’s game.

Singleton getting the callup?
Dana Brown hinted at it yesterday. I suppose it could also be Brantley?
SOON.
To be fair to them, Dubon's are way too high. Peña's are a bit too high as well. JV's is the proper length.
Steve Sparks on 790 this morning seemed very confident Brantley will contribute this yearJakAg93 said:

Not even close. Mine don't break but they sure as hell aren't high water capris either

Nothing has changed. Brantley is not going to contribute this year. If by some miracle he does, it's going to be in a very limited role.
True. But at least that's a Four Seasons they're staying at. Coffee is going to be much better than "hotel coffee". It'll be better than Starbucks or anything else, tooMathguy64 said:So he's rocking a 200k watch, a ring with a value of who knows what, a tailored suit that I bet costs at least $10k and he's drinking hotel coffee out of a paper cup.Farmer1906 said:

I will say the short suit pants are easier for world class athletes to pull off than it is for my fat ass.
why is he taking BP then?texasaggie2015 said:

not doubting you just genuinely curious.
weird that Blum and TK still talk about him working his way back. seems like if it was that clear cut they would be informed and not saying those type things on broadcast (okay this part is kind of doubting you lol)
Probably best for Corey to go down and get some regular playing time and get his swing / confidence back in low pressure situations. He wasn't going to get consistent enough playing time in the majors to work through the issues.
Because that's all he can do
He's been taking BP for a year now.
Although I did expect a hanging it up presser after the trade deadline which we haven't gotten yet.

Julks hasn't played very much lately. I figured that might happen. I think he'll be part of September call-ups though.Farmer1906 said:texasaggie2015 said:
Julks has been optioned to AAA.
Wow!
I mean, what is he supposed to do? Stay at home? It's just a part of the whole rehab process.
And do you really think the broadcast crew will just spill inside info on air? They're hired by the Astros. If the Astros don't want injury info out there, they're probably told to not spill it.

Even as a bench bat in late inning situations, that is still contributing.texasaggie2015 said:

Blum and TK are employed by the team. Their marching orders are to not say anything negative about the team or players and make everything sunshine and rainbows all the time. Of course they're going to speak glowingly about the possibilities.gigemJTH12 said:why is he taking BP then?texasaggie2015 said:

If, by some miracle he comes back, I imagine it's in September and he's only used for pinch hit duties.
I've been saying this since around May and some of you just don't believe me at all hahaha.
Also... taking batting practice on the field is still way different than seeing live pitching.

no I dont think they would say hes done for the year. I would expect them to not constantly mention the chance of him coming back thotexasaggie2015 said:

I mean... technically there's always a chance

I tried to look this up this weekend, but couldn't find it. Someone mentioned that Singleton is doing most of his damage against fastballs in the minors. Can anyone find his stats by pitch type with Sugar Land? I would imagine he's not gonna get anything fast/straight (other than maybe against teams like the A's or Royals) since the breaking stuff has been his downfall in the majors so far.
Jon Singleton Stats
2022 - AAA (first domestic professional ball since 2017)
581 PA
.219 BA
.375 OBP
.434 SLG
.809 OPS
2022 - AAA (MIL + HOU)
364 PA
.289 BA
.409 OBP
.567 SLG
.976 OPS
He is a walk machine! BB% > 20% last year and over 17% this year.
Batted ball profile is lots of line drives, fly balls, and too many pop ups. Some ground balls, obviously, but low when compared to most.

Unfortunately, I am also in the camp that believes he won't be back at all this year. However, I do find it odd that TK and Blum, and even Julia continue to make comments, post videos, and build up the fact that he is hitting more and more. To the point that they are making everyone think he is close to returning. Seems odd.gigemJTH12 said:no I dont think they would say hes done for the year.

How mad will y'all be when it's Bligh Madris getting called up?
I don't think that info is in the public anywhere unless you look game by game. I checked out his HRs only and made a post a few days back.EastCoastAgNc said:

12 HR
9 vs RHP
3 vs LHP
5 off 4 Seams
3 off change up
3 off slider
1 off curve
Singleton is going to be the next Tyler White isn't he?
Come up to the show and knock the cover off the ball, win AL player of the month, then teams will realize you just have throw anything that spins and he won't do anything remotely close to his first month, we'll all bltch endlessly, and eventually he'll end up getting DFA'd.

this is what I was saying
above they took my comment as why isnt blummer and TK telling us he is out for the year.
not what I am saying.
but if he is more than likely done you'd think their marching orders would be to not mention Brantley at all and have the general publics hopes up.
they are always showing his BP clips and talking about what his return would mean.
