I don't get to watch many Astros games, but it always shocks me how tiny Altuve actually is.

I just refer to him as "Garden gnome" altuve.

I like using Altuve as a measurement, i.e. "My house is 4.2 Altuves tall.

That's a small ass house lol

It's a cardboard box on the side of I-30. Don't judge me.

Shouldn't you be watching your team losing on network TV instead of violating the rules of this thread?

I'm excited to see Montgomery in person tomorrow. Will also be my first game at Globe Life.

Where about are you sitting? And let me give you some food recommendations.

117. Yeah I'm gonna get there early to get my bearings and find some food. All of y'all's suggestions sound great.

I'm a fan of getting there early and getting food at Texas Live. Quality is 100x better and it's probably cheaper.

This is why I think.our window is about to be wide open. I posted yesterday that the Amgels hosed themselves for a long time by keeping Ohtani and trading prospects for rentals. The Mariners don't scare me and Houston just sent two of their best prospects for a 40 year old pitcher.

We've still got trade capital, young big leaguers, and talent under contract. Things are looking pretty good.

If you're asking me, I've been here a loooooong time, on this thread, and a Rangers fan for over 40 years.

Some of yall are getting paranoid.

Rooks...

How much did our farm ranking drop after the deadline? I just like having a top 10 farm always.

Think that the joke is astros fans being homeless and unable to afford a real house. I think...

Nm that was for after draft. I misread.

I really like this team. Kudos to JD for setting the table and CY for executing. Bonus for the Owners.

After this season we lose:
SP
Perez ($19.7M) - Addition by subtraction.
Odorizzi ($12.5M) - Nothing burger
Montgomery - Excited to see what we get. Bradford & Dunning & Others.

Relief P
Chapman
Will Smith
Stratton

Other
Hedges ($5M) - C
Garver - C
Miller ($4M) - Util
Jankowski = OF/Util
Grossman - OF/Util

I would think we'd try to retain either Chap or Stratton. Also Garver (if he can stay hot for a long period of time) and maybe Jankowski.

Also need to bring Miller back, pretty sure he's in the running for team MVP lol

I know we get 2-3 interlopers per day, but I don't think he's one

I'm sorry I thought the "cardboard box on I-30" was another pompous dig by an Astro fan. Please accept my shameful post.

Yankee pitcher getting squeezed. Two obvious strikes were not called.

I can get down with that!

A T10 we are a part of:

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/38121409/mlb-power-rankings-2023-week-18-every-team-post-trade-deadline

1. Atlanta Braves - (69-37) Previous : 1

2. Baltimore Orioles - (66-42) Previous : 2
3. Texas Rangers - (62-46) Previous : 5
4. Houston Astros - (62-47) Previous : 6
5. Tampa Bay Rays - (66-45) Previous : 4
6. Dodgers
7. Toronto Blue Jays - (60-49) Previous : 7
8. Phillies

20. Minnesota

I mentioned the big loser at the trade deadline, IMO, were the Dodgers.

It's bull**** that we got Gerritt Cole in both series against the Yankees and the Astros miss him in a 4 game set in New York.

Oh well… glad the yanks took 1. Need them to get 1 more at least.

Was a funny story that the Dodgers offered the Mets a good package for Scherzer, but the Mets loved Acuna so much that they took him and dealt with us. Perhaps we benefitted from his brother being so good and tearing the Mets up in the NL East.

Then Rodriguez from Detroit kicks the dodgers while they're down by using his 10 team no trade to stay in Detroit after the deal was struck to bring him to LA.

I don't feel bad for the Dodgers at all tho. I'm still pissed at how bad our take was from the yu Darvish trade. They sent us a bunch of terrible prospects and Calhoun who didn't develop and had the worst attitude a ball player could have.

Darvish pitched like a #2 for them in the regular season and they thought highly enough of him to start him 3 times in the World Series. It didn't work out, but still. We should've got more.

This was posted earlier. Who did the Dodgers get to bump their WAR?
