The target should be Crochet. I'd only do Robert if the White Sox want Meyers. Thats possible given he's cheaper and has one more year of control in spite of being two years older.

We have 3 OF spots. Stick him in RF or LF.MaxPower said:
Not even joking, is Robert an upgrade over Meyers considering injury history?
Blanco
That is kind of my point with Robert. As a standalone, I would not want to chase Robert as an upgrade. But given our cache of prospects, we may want to look for creative configuration of packages.
Building in Robert/Meyers and Abreu/Benintendi swaps could actually reduce the return needed on someone like Crochet.
We could even get Maldonado back! (ducks)

If only Kessinger were still up to play 3B and they had found a way to get that Joey guy up to play in the OF.
I'll bump my post from yesterday but they couldn't call up Joey.
Yeah. The timing didn't work. IMHO they mismanaged this earlier by having him sit for a week not getting any ABs here. He should have gone down before Cabbage.
Understood but what are we trading to get both of those guys, specifically if Meyers isn't included? I'd assume Meyer's and Arrighetti are the starting pieces with Melton, Blubagh and a lower level guy thrown in like Baez.
That has actually been my biggest concern with Dana Brown this year.
I feel like we have constantly bungled the up/down moves in timing to our own detriment.

That first strike almost hit Jose.
Man the balls and strikes have gotten bad.

Is it my imagination, or is it more common this year for the opposing pitcher to have a really low pitch count through the first few innings?
28 pitches through 3.
It's a feature not a bug.

Guys. It's Miles Mikolas.
Our approach at the plate today seems to be get the game done by 3:00.
We swing early and often, outside of Tuck and Bregman, both out of the lineup.

The lineup has a bunch of free swingers. Altuve, Abreu, and Dubon are historically free swingers. From what we've seen with Yanier so far in his career, he's a free swinger as well. That's 4 of the 9 positions. Leads to lots of low PCs.

You assume it's an approach. It's not. It's most of the line-ups natural personality in the box.
Approach is different than free swinging.
It's get-away day, right?Wabs said:

They're trying to wrap up quick so traffic can clear out before I leave the office at 4
What a stab

That's as much disgust as I have seen from Yordan. He missed it and was really unhappy.
36 through 4.
Schloss would be screaming a blue streak watching this.

I've given up caring about pitch counts. The Astros coaches obviously do not consider it a viable game plan to wear a pitcher down, only to swing until they knock them out. So be it.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
Jesus blue
Blue. WTF?
What the holy hell? Blanco didn't know that was a ball until he turned back around like 3 seconds later. The batter was walking to the dugout.

Who the hell is this incompetent idiot?
A gift run from the home plate umpire
A run on blue
That run is 1000% on blue.
Something has to be done about the grudge the umpire are all carrying for the Astros
Missed strike cost a run.
2 RBI's for this umpire
wtf cabbage
