So I'm guessing he won't be in the lineup tomorrow. Might be available to pinch hit.

Erick Fedde is a name to watch over the next few weeks. Kevin Gausman as well but I think I've mentioned him before.

They're also serious about adding a bat. I've had Yandy Diaz mentioned to me as well as Isaac Paredes. Brent Rooker is another.

- I saw someone mention moving Chas/Meyers. I've been told since last year that it's a possibility if it means improving another area of the roster. There's a handful of clubs that think Jake would benefit greatly from a change of scenery. I'm not saying it will happen or will probably happen- but something to keep an eye on.
I can picture it now.

Astros acquire Yandy Diaz for Jake Meyers, AJ Blubaugh, & Kenedy Corona.


From April.

Paredes would have to be REALLY expensive given his control, but that would be a fascinating acquisition for a 1B now and 3B later.

Kevin Gausman has had some struggles, but he's one of my favorite players to watch pitch when he is on. The Splitter is nasty.

Any SP would be welcome for depth but Gausman could be a playoff difference maker.

Yandy, Parades, and Rooker would be cool but definitely not as exciting or needle-moving as Vlad.

Another thing to keep in mind as we approach trade season: Dana Brown is elite at evaluating and scouting prospects. There's some guys that might hurt to let go, and some may be really surprised by who gets moved, but he knows who should and shouldn't be untouchable. I trust him.

For all his offensive highlights, Vlad has his boneheaded moments too. He had a few defensive blunders when we played them. Also remember he got picked off second with the bases loaded and two outs in the wild card series last year. I'm not saying he's not valuable, but he's not necessarily a savior that you go all out for over other options.

As awesome as Jose is (and his trajectory is Hall of Famer), it's remarkable how ridiculous his approach is at the plate at times


You should see how he treats the other bases.

Sweet win.

Super fun game to go to, celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary.

Marlins are ... not good. Like you wonder how they're not losing every game 9-1.

Told my wife during the starting lineups I only knew who 2 of their players were, and up until the game, I thought one of them was on a different team.

Relaxed Framber was a treat. Guperfido's homer I thought was a pop up and his triple made me really jealous of people who can run fast.

After her second marg, my wife reacted to a foul ball over the screen by yelling "OH ****, LOOK OUT!" It was caught by a kid about 90 feet away.

My son asked me who my favorite pitcher was. I told him Framber when he's right because you don't see the combo of a lefty who can get a ton of ground balls and k's. He then asked me who my least favorite was and I told him meltdown Framber….

Rangerettes lost last night, good job Halos!

We're now 4.5 ahead of them and still 2 games back of the Seamen. If the Halos can continue to win today and we get the sweep we'll be a single game back of Seattle and 5 ahead of Arlington with a chance to really bury them this weekend and turn them into sellers.

LFG!!!!

If you read the other thread, apparently the Astros can only make the playoffs if the Rangers start slacking off

Is slacking off code for cycling off roids because they know the drug tests are coming?

I was telling my wife about him and realized how insane my explanation was: "When he's on, he's fantastic, and can pitch a no-hitter. But if someone hits the ball to him, he'll probably make a really dumb play and then he'll have a meltdown."

Sounds like he's 5.

July check in. Chas had a decent June, but is back to sucking. Dubon is suddenly striking out a ton.

Super Mario Loperfido sitting pretty at 4th in the AL for rookies on offense. I had to lower the min to 80 PA to snag him. He's been a plus on offense, defense, and on the basepaths. His WAR should be solid once he gets more time up. However, there is zero chance he will keep up this production with his current K & BB rate plus his batted ball data. He's got time to improve on them tho. Small sample.
