Abreu sucks. Maybe he stopped juicing. Maybe age just caught up to him. But he's cooked.

yes indeed
the A's are awful
only scored 7 runs in their 5 games vs. the Astros
despite the Astros' pitching staff ranking bottom five in MLB -- in ERA and WHIP and other categories

The Abreu experiment needs to end. It's not personal but the dude is never going to be a contributor in this lineup. That was known before he went down and hasn't changed at all since. Best of luck and enjoy retirement
Good morning to everyone but Oakland, #Athletics fans and any former #Dodgers pitchers who ran their mouths about intentionally hitting @astros players back in the day. This means you, Ross Stripling. Be more like @JustinVerlander. You’ll win more. #Relentless🤘🏼🔥 pic.twitter.com/5lTt39EcIR

Dude was a .250 hitter for 3 seasons, with an OBP of .300, SLG of .400 and OPS in the .600 range... I'm glad that something is clicking, and that the team saw something in him, and i'm very happy to be very wrong about him if this new Jake is the real Jake. But it's not like he didn't legit suck for a lengthy bit.
I'm sitting here miserable from a ribeye coma but I'm still pretty sure .300 + .400 = .700. And he's closer to a .700 OPS for his career than .600

Story time.
I was blessed to have a dad that would take a day off work about once a month and take me to the Astros game. We always would hang out near the player entrance (whether it was the Astrodome or MMP) and I would try to get autographs. I met most of the players and still have hundreds of baseballs with autographs of Astros players and visiting players like Al Leiter, Ken Griffey Jr, Adam Dunn, and more. Amazing memories to look back on.
I believe the year was 2000. First year at what used to be called Enron Field. There were some guys who would sign maybe once in a blue moon and there were other guys who would sign every time. Jose Lima was one of those guys that wouldn't leave until every single fan had something signed. He was gold.
Well, on this specific day, there was only a couple of us waiting for autographs and Jose Lima pulled up in his car and rolled down his window. He signed my baseball and signed for a couple others too. I was probably 8 or 9 years old and I told him I liked his car. I don't remember what he was driving and I probably didn't even like the car. I just wanted to talk to a Major League Baseball player.
Lima asked who my dad was and I pointed over to where he was standing. He then asked my dad if I could hop in for a ride. My dad agreed.
I hopped in and Lima took me around the block in his ride. He was blasting his music, windows down. It probably didn't last more than 2-3 minutes but it was one of he coolest things ever for a kid who loved his Astros. I will never forget that day.
Just wanted to share that on a Saturday morning. Jose Lima was special.

He was such a treasure. Me and some friends were lucky enough to score some floor seats to a Rockets game maybe Yao's rookie year and Lima and his girl were sitting directly in front of us. He chatted us up a few early 20's guys like we were old friends.
Great story…and what a great dad.
THAT is awesome. They don't make em like Jose Lima anymore.texasaggie2015 said:

Who needs Casa Ole when you can have El Charro? That place has to be a drug den but damned if they haven't been in business for 30+ years
Growing up a huge Astros fan, living in Houston straight out of college in the late 90's was special. Lima Time was definitely a thing and his "antics" were ahead of his time.
That's awesome... I loved Lima Time
Josh Hader's last 10 appearances: 13.1 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 4 BB, 21 K, .091/.167/.182 and a .349 OPS against.

So if Loperfido doesn't start today… does he get another start before Abreu returns?
I just don't understand what the team is doing. 2nd series in a row Chas started against a RHP when there is a lefty on the mound the very next day.tjack16 said:

I know at some point they hope Chas is a regular regardless of the pitcher, but if you have someone like Joey then platoon them properly.
Chas can't increase his trade value is he's sitting on the bench.
This….I hope
Brandon Bielak was DFA'd by the A's. https://t.co/ncOKRfr1ou

Sometimes it Bielak that multiple times
Right?
I was only half kidding but seriously...This is the way.

He's not good enough for the A's? I find that hard to believe…

Time to come back home already on a minor league deal. Especially with Uriquidy likely headed to Tommy John.
Lima was a blast to watch. No where near as cool of a story but we went to see him pitch at the dome when I was in HS. Walked down to the bullpen to watch him warm up, when the bullpen was down the first base line. He talked to us the entire time he was warming up, even asked us after a few pitches to call balls and strikes for him. Of course everything was a strike. After he got done he stopped to sign autographs for about 10 minutes. Name a pitcher these days that would do that before a start.
I wouldn't hate that, but I wonder if Bielak would rather have a fresh start somewhere. Maybe Baltimore would take a flier on him?

I think it's a numbers game. They desperately needed bullpen arms because they have had to throw so many innings on consecutive days. He was just the odd man out
Dubon at 1st
Loperfido is def the one going down for Abreu, and that's really gonna suck. The kid has done just about everything we possibly could have asked, and he's still gonna be shuffled down for an old paper weight.
