FWIU, according to MLB only Cs are allowed to wear the transmitter. You are allowed 3 players... specifically the 2B, SS, and CF usually, to wear receivers.

Series Stats:
2B Altuve 7-15, 5 HR <- Allowed a receiver
C Diaz: 1-5, 1 HR <- Allowed a receiver
C Maldonado: 3-9, 2 HR <- Allowed a receiver
CF Dubon: 5-15, 2 HR <- Allowed a receiver
10 HRs by 4 guys MLB allows to wear a receiver

SS Pena: 7-18, 0HR <- Allowed a receiver

3B Bregman: 7-14, 1R, 2RBI, 0HR
RF Tucker: 3-9, 0HR
1B Abreu: 4-13, 2HR
LF McCormick: 5-9, 1HR
LF Brantley: 2-3, 1 HR
DH Alvarez: 4-9, 2HR
6 HRs by 5 positions not allowed

HR Leaders:
26 Tucker, 137G
25 Alvarez, 93G
22 Bregman, 140G
20 McCormick, 95G
14 Abreu, 121G
107 HRs on the season by guys contributing 6HRs

21 Diaz, 92G
15 Altuve, 69G - 30% of his HRs were in 2G this week
13 Maldonado, 102G - .189 Hitter with 11HRs coming into the series went .333 and 2 HRs?
10 Pena, 129G
9 Dubon, 115G - 2 of his 9 HRs were in this series
68 HRs on the season by guys contributing 10HRs.

Just some head scratching, that Altuve, Maldonado, and Dubon come into the series with 28 combined HRs and in 3 games they hit 9 HRs?!

This coming from the guy who said Odor is better than Altuve because of games played. Big brains over there.

Also, I'm going to pull a Porkchop and say we need to go to that thread and star the hell out of that post!

I don't think I would consider Stanek one of our best relievers by any stretch of the imagination

I was looking at Mariners schedule and I HATE to say it, but they could win almost every series, with several likely sweeps. Doesn't look good for Astros. Our only hope is for the pitching to get much better, we lost one of our best relievers with Ankle problem which doesnt help at all

---

Stanek isn't even remotely one our best relievers

Are we looking at the same schedule?

The have the Dodgers, Rays, us, and 7 vs the Rangers. That's 5 series vs teams ranked 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 10th in winning%.

The only easy series are Angels & As.

The Astros have signed free-agent Big Boy to be their new center fielder. They went with a Double-Year Combo Contract, which totaled $11.64 + tax, but the Astros have a free refill option.

Jim Crane stated, “We expect Big Boy to start every game for the foreseeable future.”

They also have only 2 off days for the remainder of the season whereas we have 4. After today the Rangers only have 1...sucks for them. God DOES hate them.

You didn't actually think about this at all before you posted it, did you?

I tend to agree, but who sits around and says "instead of pulling the baseballs out of my franchise's rectum that were lovingly shoved there this week...I think I'll go make a post that is ill-informed and just sounds stupid on the Astros' thread; that'll show 'em!"

Padres Claim Glenn Otto

Just in time so we can hit bombs off another Rangers arm.

One of the scariest teams to play is a desperate team. I wouldn't count them out. Look at what we did after getting swept at home by the Yankees.

Yes, Chas is playing at the level of a Julio Rodriguez
or a Kyle Tucker this season and Dusty is sitting him a third of the time.

Below is comp with Tucker through last Sat/Sun assuming same # of ABs this season.

Playing 6 games against the Rangers is a pretty big advantage at this point. Not just because of the beating in Arlington this week but they've kinda sucked for a while now. They're done.

---

They're fighting for their life and control their own destiny. I wouldn't be shocked if Seattle is the odd team out of the postseason. There is a lot of baseball left.

Stop having similar takes as me & posting them right before me. This is the 2nd or 3rd time today.

Or you can simply stop stealing my takes

The only flaw in an otherwise open and shut case, is that pitchcom doesn't exactly sit in the folds of batting helmets the way it does hats. And, if they did indeed take it out of their hats, there is not reason to assume they would keep it for themselves and not share it with the others. So the whole "these players are allowed to have it" is really a pointless dichotomy, since they are only allowed to have it when they are in the field.

Also, does pitcom have a call for "hanging" slider, or "dick high fastball in the exact same spot Altuve hit the last two out"? Just wondering how specific our code-breaking was. I'm thinking maybe we should be called the Houston Windtalkers (although that may not be allowed anymore, right Cleveland?)

Also.. how many times do you see guy's helmets fly off while running the bases? Or when trying to avoid a 95mph fastball up and in?

It would be pretty dumb to try that.

Re Chas remember earlier this season the rumor that Yankees had interest?

Obviously glad nothing happened and that wouldve been sickening

Still don't get it, Chas follows up how he finished 2021 by playing better, batting stats are at a high level, and he's having to fight for playing time with Corey Julks and Jake Meyers.

Chas is under control through 2026.

I'm not all that worried about it, mainly because with a new manager, Chas will get a lot of playing time next year.

is the joke that Chaz looks a lot like Big Boy

**** Dusty

Txag15 thanks for your insight

Happy to share.

it all goes back to opening night --- it was noticeably strange that Chas was not in the starting lineup
