I much prefer to face Cleveland in the DS.

The dude for Baltimore that has like a career 0.05 era against us (Bradish maybe?) is out for year right? Burnes is good but don't they lack SP? Bats are crazy though.

The hurricane is wreaking havoc on the baseball schedule. The games between the Mets & the Braves have already been pushed to a double-header on Monday.

Get a roof.
and the winner of the double-header could be on airplane to San Diego afterwards

Going to have to wring the last bit of value out of Bregs then the rest of the way and hopefully ride the rest of his rescuing his contract year through the playoffs. I'm sure he'd prefer to do the same.

Hopefully we try these last few games with Tuck and Altuve too for the same reason.

Listening to DFW radio this afternoon and they were praying for a Dodgers-Yankees WS. Don't they know those 2 franchises love to blow it in October over the last decade

There are a lot of people/pundits who say "I want a NYY/LAD World Series. I don't like the teams but that's best for baseball"

I do not understand that argument. Yes it's large metro areas but the Houston metro area is large too.

I'm sure Hector Neris will make the roster, but man....I do not want to see him in the playoffs with the way he's pitched for us

I'd rather see him than Turd Ferguson. Neris has had two shaky outings in his last two, but before that he was pretty solid.

He's been shaky even when he doesn't give up a run. Lots of traffic

Most people who have MLBTV probably know, but you can watch all the minor league games of your favorite team. I love the Astros and watch a lot of Space Cowboys (including this game) as well, but it's fun to watch an Express game, too.. You can just switch your favorites and watch all levels of the MiLB.

Also, building on the Space Cowboys win. I was looking at body language and was really shocked, as everyone looked really happy. Seth Martinez (didn't pitch well and was pulled early), Cabbage, Dezenzo, etc.


The experts are tards and know nothing. We have a lot in the farm.

Prop Joe might be the most narcissistic poster on all of TexAgs. Or it might be infectionAg. They both live in their own reality. Perfect examples of Ranger fans.

I don't think they're nearly as good as their record shows while NY is the best team in the AL.

I know we joke about this but I'm starting to think there's some truth to the bad rankings given we have lots of success at AAA yet guys like Whitcomb, Dezenzo, Leon, etc struggle in the bigs.

Starting to think we have lots of AAAA guys and that's reflected in the farm system rankings.

IMO our ranking is probably due to not having a large number of potential everyday players down on the farm but mostly players that grade out as solid role players if they make the Show.

Yep. Also a lot of them are like mid 20s which isn't as appealing in the prospect rankings

I have a long-time friend who is an obnoxious Yankees fan but was born in Houston and raised in Sugar Land. Went to tu, law school at South Texas, and many years later moved to NYC for his defense attorney practice. Anyway, only reason he's a Yankee fan is because he's Italian and lots of Italians up there are Yankee fans.

I give him truckloads of sch!tt for it too.

Our farm league seems to be a victim of our success. For home grown talent we have to hit on an exceptionally high percentage of draft picks because we're picking low and/or do really well in our international signings (which we tend to do). We've also traded away some prospects in the last few years who are really highly thought of by the experts.

However, our talent development via analytics (I'm not talking about goofy stats like fWAR or xBA) that have proven really good at identifying what a player does really well and maximizing that. Look at how we've been able to flip the script on pitchers like Morton and Kikuchi just to name a few.

Baseball is such a mental game too, especially with regards to managing failure and staying confident. We seem as an organizational culture to be good at not panicking and keeping guy from getting too low or too high.

I have a friend… lives in Austin… who is a Bama fan (graduated from SFA), because his dad lived in Alabama for a time… he's a Lakers fan and a Chiefs fan because he has extended family there. He also likes the Dodgers

I really hate people like this. It's irrational to get mad at them but I can't imagine having zero loyalty to any team and just supporting who is winning at the time… losers

It's why they are so desperate to frame division titles and ALCS appearances as a "dynasty".
By his logic, the 90's Braves were NOT a dynasty because they only won a single World Series.

I had a friend that graduated from Sam and is the most obnoxious sip t-shirt fan on the earth. Always wearing sip gear, talking **** in person and constantly posting sip and anti-Aggie stuff on FB. I used to comment on his anti-Aggie posts and say "how did Sam do this weekend?". He got pissed and "unfriended" me. LOL. Oh No! What will I do?

Some people....

checking in with the National League wildcard race...

this Mets-Braves doubleheader on Monday could be a classic prisoner's dilemma scenario

if they split the DH...both make the playoffs -- and Arizona is out

if one or the other sweeps the DH...the loser is out and Arizona is in

current win totals...

88 - Diamondbacks
87 - Mets
86 - Braves

Braves and Mets have the tiebreaker over Arizona
