the Astros are 20-8 since dumping Jose Abreu on June 13th

you know...might should have done that earlier


Where is Abreu now?

Edit to clarify I know what the Astros did, just curious if he retired or what he's doing.
I looked and couldn't tell where he went? It only says we released him

How much is McCullars getting paid? Does he travel with the team to out of town games?
Peace for Ukraine!

Headed to Boston in about 3 weeks.

Will any of Tucker, JV, or Garcia be active by then? I'm hoping Tucker is but not holding my breath

I think we owe this climb to 1st place to the birth of tjack's baby.

Her exact reaction to clinching first place last night

She said and I quote "screw you Scott Servais and your stupid face"

He probably was the one who talked Servais into letting Robbie Ray pitch to Yordan

His leg was amputated, wasn't it? They still haven't figured out how to get the bionic leg wiring to work

So Adrian Peterson can come back form total knee failure in 6 months but Tucker has a bad bruise that knocks him out 3-4 months?

Go find Petersons doctor in Germany or inject the **** out of his leg with peptides

In his weekly radio appearance, Chandler said he's still limping quite significantly just walking around.

I've soured on Tucker, I'd let him walk.

Hasn't played since June 3 and is still limping? Does Houston have the worst doctors in sports? wtf

It was a broken shin. Astros front office is incompetent when it comes to injuries
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

Why guys don't wear the bagwell hand pad or complete shin guards is astounding to me

They used to have the absolute best. Remember dodging the Brady Aiken bullet that ultimately landed Bregman. Wtf happened?

This Astros team is growing up before our eyes. I think they absolutely have the juice to win the division. I think what we saw in the first 6-7 weeks or so was a team adjusting to a number of changes including losing one of the best pitcher handling catchers in the game, adjusting to a new younger and less experienced roster, and breaking in a new manager that has apparently figured some things out now. Espada's game management has improved significantly.

Having said all of that, they are a few pieces short of having the juice to win it all as currently constructed . Getting Tucker, JV, back and in form will be a big boost but we still have several spots where starters
Have a ton of room to grow. I see a lot of potential with Loperfido and Cabbage but are they experienced enough to help get the team to World Champion level? Ditto Singleton altho he has upped his game since Abreu has been Gone . Bringing back Diaz may help there… maybe. Top level Diaz if you can get that + Dubon do provide A lot of flexibility.

I feel like they have to make at least one significant experienced top 3rd level outfielder and a quality 2nd catcher to make the jump to being a threat to win the whole thing.

Bone bruise/contusions can take multiple months to heal depending on severity. Looks like Tucker's was on the more severe end.

Need to get a bat at the deadline, a Tucker return looks more iffy with each passing week.

General curiosity but why do people feel this about the front office? I mean outside of just general public just being pissed because they feel entitled to know what the injury is….but it's not like they've made the recovery time longer or hampered is progress…

Well let's see there's a proven track record for starters...... things reported as minor then surgery a few weeks later sometimes on an area that wasn't even reported as injured.

I think people struggle with understanding did 1) was it diagnosed wrong, or 2) are we being dishonest about it in public. Either way, it breeds angst and distrust with the fans over the issue, and there is a ton of injury weariness as it relates to LMJ specially with this organization.

Astros front office has been pretty darned good over the past 8-10 yrs . I know the people have turned over but the evidence is a consistently competitive team which no one could seriously argue hasn't been the case. Results are the end product of good decisions. To say the results haven't been extremely positive is tsip level hubris.

Yeah. I guess I see it as #2. We know what the injuries are. We know what the timeframes are. For whatever reason it just seems like they understate them.

But, the reality is, IMO, nothing they're doing is making these injuries worse or the recoveries longer.

Here's a few examples of them either lying for no reason or just being terrible at their jobs.

- Yuli "slept on a pillow wrong" and was out 4 weeks in 2021
- Brantley had sore leg from Arlington turf. Day to day diagnosis and missed more than 3 weeks in 2021
- Verlander also slept weird and had sore neck. He's been out over a month
