I'm kinda bitter towards Maldy...last night he easily could have approached Donkey in the dugout before his AB in the 5th and told him "Skip, if we've got runners on and a chance to get back in this thing you need to pinch hit Diaz for me, the kid has a better chance of making something happen."Thinice said:
Will they non-tender Maldy?
Surely he won't do the honorable thing and retire.
He actually did something similar during the regular season when he thought he was going to get pinch hit for (not approaching Dusty but not going for his bat or something) but of course Donkey let him go up there and strike out.
because....
We WILL bring that third ring home next season....
GLF!
Could we flip Pena for an innings-eater #3-type starter with a couple years of control? Would this even be palatable?
Yes, whoever replaces him (Dubon or someone from AAA/AA) would take a step back defensively, definitely, but maybe not too much offensively (since Pena was ass at the plate for a good majority of the season). I think I'd live with Dubon there if he can have a similar year next season, especially if he can learn to be more patient at the plate, and we get more reliable depth in the rotation. Move LMc and/or Javier to the pen?

They were actually open to moving him at the deadline if the right move presented itself
And we sat that throughout the playoffs for a guy hitting under .200.bearkatag15 said:Let’s take a look at the MLB catcher rankings in slugging % pic.twitter.com/5jNN7auruk

Can't wait to see a full season of Diaz at the plate
Tucker didn't do his arbitration value any favors by completely disappearing in the post season.Lonestar_Ag09 said:tjack16 said:
So decisions
- extend Altuve? I say absolutely 100% yes
- extend Bregman? I lean yes but only if it's not more expensive than his current deal is
- sign pitchers? Absolutely yes. Go get Hader, AJ Minter, and another dependable arm like Michael Wacha. Injuries will happen so prepare now.
- sign a corner outfielder? Yes, go get Gurriel Jr or Santander
-Altuve, check
-Bregman, check
-Sign Hader and Neris, move on. We have too much young depth. This club isn't spending that money
-also not happening with our youth depth
You didn't mention Tucker but his arbitration will be a story line as well.
Yes, being widely reported. Good opportunity for him to step aside. Benefits all parties from a PR standpoint.

Personal issues resolved?
Not sure honestly. Haven't heard otherwise
You know we're in the golden era of Astros baseball when people are disappointed in an ALCS finish. Especially when we had 2 of our main pitchers out for the year by May (McCullers and Garcia) and went through most of the year without Tuve or Yordan. Ready for Title #3 next year! Go Stros!
Still can't believe they took Maton out after only throwing 9 pitches and striking out the two batters he faced.
So who is the guess for our new manager.
I was about to spend some good money but it's fake.

This is Literally mind blowing … and he sat the bench a large part of the year including most of the playoffs, Dusty must have been given marching orders outside our organizationbearkatag15 said:Let’s take a look at the MLB catcher rankings in slugging % pic.twitter.com/5jNN7auruk

on that note, I've been looking for an Altuve gold rush youth jersey for my son. I haven't been able to find any though. Does anyone know if they still sell any and if so where I might be able to purchase one? ThanksAggie Therapist said:

Poor Philly. Couldn't have happened to a better group of fans and players.
Seen a lot of that today. "Ranger fans" talking sh** that I never even knew followed baseball. I could go back into their profiles and see that 3/4 of their "fandom" started around Labor Day. There's a few that are legit old school, like Toby Harrah and Jim Sundberg old school. I'm fine with them.Wabs said:Yes, those are the ones that are first to jump on Facebook on talk *****All I do is Nguyen said:
I always love to ask people who are fair weather fans questions about their own team and watch them crumble when I know more about their team than they do
This. I was fuming about this move. Maton probably could have gone 3 or 4 innings and he's been nails in such situations before. We were just so poorly managed this year. It's sickening.Thinice said:

How he used Maton and Brown in game 7 was like one final one finger flying eagle salute to the fans by Dusty. Still trying to save bullpen arms "in case he needed them tomorrow" in a Game 7 elimination situation. Meanwhile the Rangers were bringing in their likely WS Game 1 starter in relief because they knew the situation.Ag12thman said:This. I was fuming about this move.
