Damn, I knew I should have stuck with the easy point, but I was expecting the Ranger Mod to come through for me on that one.The Porkchop Express said:
There's enough circumstantial evidence to suggest Jerry Seinfeld's nemesis caught at least a 24-hour case for continuing to post on the RIP Bingo threads so I'll have to take that point away from you on your scorecard, but you get the extra half point for the thread getting TKO-ed twice

Speaking of cost....any news on Tucker's possible extension?texasaggie2015 said:
Haha. I give up then. I'm just relaying what I was told late last night in regards to what it would cost to get him
Farmer1906 said:Bad slump? Yes and no. I think he has some real mechanical issues in his swing he needs to adjust. But I also think he's starting out rough. You can already see some improvement with his swing selection moving from April to may (lower K, higher BB)MAROON said:
do you really think Bregman is just in a bad slump?
Is there a stat to compare his hit mph this year off the bat vs. his previous years?
I'm wondering because he seems to have lost a lot of power.
His exit velocity is down, but he was never a guy who had high exit velo. Even in 2019 he was under 90.
His biggest issue IMO are pop ups and ground balls, not line drives and fly balls. Even at a lower exit velo, he's on top or under the ball way way too much.
If the fish are taking that then we're hopeless idiots for not having already pulled the trigger.texasaggie2015 said:

From the Astros: claimed RHP Alex Speas off waivers from Oakland & optioned him to Triple A Sugar Land...designated OF Corey Julks for assignment…optioned IF Jacob Amaya to Sugar Land...to take his place on the active roster reinstated IF Grae Kessinger from the 10-day IL.

This could be a blessing in disguise for Julks. Wish him the best and hope he lands somewhere we'll he'll get some opportunities.
That's rough. He just walked it off for SL the other day.EastCoastAgNc said:From the Astros: claimed RHP Alex Speas off waivers from Oakland & optioned him to Triple A Sugar Land...designated OF Corey Julks for assignment…optioned IF Jacob Amaya to Sugar Land...to take his place on the active roster reinstated IF Grae Kessinger from the 10-day IL.

Julks DFA'd...someone will pick him up.
I'd say there's a pretty decent chance. Two option years left is a big selling point. Astros could maybe even get something for him in a small trade. https://t.co/fNAl5l8vGQ

It's sort of like all those years the Rockets acted like they couldn't split up Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley, so they eventually got traded together for T-Mac.W said:
hold on, Julks got DFA'd in less than 2 months?
a guy that Dusty gave 323 plate appearances to last year?

On what planet has Dubon been playing better than Meyers?EastCoastAgNc said:Astros-Tigers tonight: pic.twitter.com/f4QAuXCsLP

Why is Meyers playing over Joey or Dubon? He's inferior offensively to both. It's a huge center field, he couldn't throw it across the infield without a hop
fWAR, the superior one, has Jake at 0.7 and Doobie at 0.3 with Dubon having more PAs and Innings in the Field.texasaggie2015 said:
