When did Chad make it back?
Guess I missed that
Meyers out on paternity leave. McCormick called back up.
Bagwell in the booth?
TK needs to mention that the Astros are 44-24 since Abreu was sacked
and you know...maybe mention it twice

You would think with Meyers out JV would have petitioned to have Dubon at CF and we could have left Chas on the bench. Unfortunately we're still waiting for all the gremlins to leave Breggy's elbow.Ag_07 said:

From Chandler Rome in the Athletic:
"Not for 56 years had a pitching staff supplied dominance like the Houston Astros did in August. Across 28 games, it posted a 2.51 ERA, struck out 291 batters and limited opponents to a .185 batting average the lowest in any month since Cleveland held hitters to a .174 mark in May 1968."
It almost feels like the baseball gods looked at the number guy's post in the trash-talk thread and said, "Oh really??? Watch this!!"
and we still *****ed about Abreu, Pressley and Hader in here
And even more remarkable with an entire starting rotation on the IL. We're doing it with Spencer, Brown, Ronel, Framber and Kikuchi with a touch of JV. Insane
Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker fractured his shin against the Cardinals on June 3, three sources tell @TheAthletic. General manager Dana Brown says the team "suspects" there was some sort of fracture - https://t.co/ylRZWqT3os

What we all knew finally confirmed
Fractured shin. No **** Sherlocks.
the Astros are lousy liars
*insert surprised face here*
Sad part is I don't think they are lying. What do they get out of it besides looking incompetent? The team doctors are just idiots.W said:

And I still don't care if the Astros are lying to me or not.

I think I'm with you on this, but I do find it odd that it gets "leaked" the week he's likely coming back. What does it matter now as far as news stories go?

Part of the story had a quote directly from Dana admitting it. I feel like the media have known a long time and didn't report it under threat from the team.
Also more remarkable, with 1968 the year of the pitcher, the last year before they lowered the pitcher's mound. Carl Yastrzemski won the AL batting title with a .301 average, and the league batting average in the AL was .230.iamtheglove said:AlwaysNextYear89 said:

Imaging tests can miss small fractures. And a bone bruise can have the same symptoms as a hairline fracture. Chandler already interviewed doctors who said there was nothing abnormal about Tucker's recovery time. I'm not sure why any of this is important. The dude got hurt and missed three months. Doesn't matter what the actual injury was. Doesn't matter what the team publicly disclosed. What matters is that we've won without him and can now add an MVP caliber bat to the lineup.
Yeah. I just don't understand the lack of truthfulness.
They can't say "well HIPAA…" because they gave a diagnosis to the public. They just didn't give the real one. They can't hide behind a wall that they themselves already broached.
Once the trade deadline passed they didnt need to hide it from other teams to get a better deal.
Ok. Let's move past this. We all knew this was more than a simple bruise. We all stayed at a holiday inn last night.

Remind me again why I'm supposed to be mad that the Astros didn't tell me earlier that Tucker had a fracture?
If they did, then that would mean Tucker would be able to come back on *checks notes*...the exact same day he will be coming back.
He's out until he's out.

Joe Espada said the Astros want Kyle Tucker to run bases again, likely Wednesday, after Tucker ran at about 85% with "no issues" in the outfield today. "There’s still a possibility that we could get him on the field here pretty soon. What he did today ... checked a lot of boxes."
— Matt Kawahara (@matthewkawahara) September 2, 2024
Espada on Alex Bregman: "That soreness is still lingering. The swelling has come down, most of it. So I think today giving him an extra day just to get some treatment, do some work in the cages, the off day tomorrow will be beneficial for him also. So he’s still day to day."
