We are watching the death of a career right before our eyes. He's cooked

Back discomfort.
Migraines.
Anal fissures.

Get the doctor to make the call on Abreu stat.

Crane needs to eat the salary and we need to cut him. It's ****ing ridiculous.

Really need to consider what a true alternative plan to Abreu looks like. That AB was as careless as it is hopeless. He truly looks like he's cooked and it looks like he knows it.

Bielak has the 7th

Would Abreu hang them up at the end of the year? I can't imagine he needs the money, and this cannot be any fun.

Maybe a negotiated buy-out? Is that allowed in baseball?
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Seems like tempting fate, but I guess you pitch who is available.

I'd ride Bielak until the end if he's doing ok.

Yeah, strong chance he doesnt make it through the year with us so let him eat some innings when we can with a hook

End of the year?!?! No way he's lasting more than a couple weeks.

Ask Mrs Marvin. I bet she would know.

I wish we'd bean him in his big ol' Meathead but I'll settle for an out.

It's one thing to hit .067. But then you are slugging .067 on top of that. And not really drawing walks.

14 pitches. Maybe good for another inning or partial.

I expect tonight to be a ****show for Hensley. Hopefully the bats are on fire and we score 14 runs, because it will probably take that many to salvage a very improbable split.

He would hang it up on a $20MM coat hanger.

Listening to MLB radio this morning they were talking about the Stasburg payoff and the players union. You can renegotiate a contact to add in deferred $$ or other creative tricks but the union will not allow you to accept a lower value than the present value of the current deal. So in short, we owe him roughly $40MM and he's getting it. Whether he plays or not. You can stretch it out, defer it, whatever. But he's getting that $40MM

I suspect the players union frowns on that

they want him to play to the bitter end of his contract

Abreu looks like he doesn't care at all.

Hopefully this isn't him being a prima donna about being lowered in the lineup.

His ABs have been truly pathetic

That's what I'm thinking. Would be huge for Hader to have a clean inning

I think Abreu is a class act and a professional,. Gotta be tough for him right now seeing the end.

He's also known to have very slow starts to the year.

Astros aren't just going to dump him outright and give up

It's still too early to tell.
