I'd like to bring in a Parkour consultant to teach our OF's how to take 2-3 steps up a wall.....
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.
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.

They were actually open to moving him at the deadline if the right move presented itself
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:

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!

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:
Still can't believe they took Maton out after only throwing 9 pitches and striking out the two batters he faced.
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.
