Have they narrowed the search to rentals only or are they still looking at controllable guys?

All I do is Nguyen said:

Does anyone have video of TK and Blum or the radio crew calling the walk off? I love seeing their reactions as well as hearing them.

The radio call with the pitcher's reaction... sweet!

That's misleading, those are great numbers for Chas (compared to righties).

Maybe they are auditioning JS to see how bad we need to get a replacement. Get him some consistent PT and see if (hope) his numbers pick up.

Our lineup looks so mediocre. In addtion to getting Tucker back, we really need a couple of our bats to pick it up (aside from Altuve and Alvarez). I guess Bregman is the obvious choice for one of them, and Diaz would have to be the front-runner for the second one. Anyone have any other contendors? Chas has looked so terrible, I don't have high hopes for him to return to last year's form.
I hate taking credit for yesterday's win, but I can't ignore the facts.

Do they build from yesterday or do we get new contenders today?

An expiring #4/5 makes sense, just to take some load off the rookies. They need a vet who can throw 4+ innings with 3 runs allowed. Houston is right in the middle of team averages (4.00 ERA, 100 ERA+). Arrighetti (5.85/70) and Bloss (6.94/59) weigh that down, obviously one more than the other because of starts. So, anyone near a 5.00 (85-90) would help.

So, who fits that description? It's actually Kikuchi, and to a tee. Of course, you have to believe the past month was more of an aberration than a continuing trend. He has a 4.75 ERA (85 ERA+) overall and averages right at 5 innings per start. Not sure how I feel about it, but I could see this happening given the Astros farm system.

TK said last night that Yordan only has 17 RBI at home.

Nuts.

it is nice that the Astros have both series vs. the trading-everyone-away Rays still on the schedule

I'm not sure what his current numbers are, but he was like 1 for 18 wrisp at home, like 6 weeks ago.

I think Flaherty is more likely than Kikuchi right now

Yeah a previous report said they were reminding teams they need to offer more than the QO is worth. That tells me the market isn't strong. I think we can beat the QO value without moving a core prospect.

We've got about a year and a half of $11m per year of value in our bullpen they can have

I think he did that after Bloss hit one their batters in game 1? I may be wrong

Some were saying it was after Blanco hit someone.

Sweep these *******s for me, please Astros. These guys shlt talk so much. Good thing Covid hit so Manfred and the MLB could gift them a cheap WS.

Of course he also said they got A. Diaz for veteran leadership. Said he can help the guys with his to take at bats and then "go out there and show em what he's taking about" and compared him to Brantley. I know he's the king of bull****, but that's the bull****tiest bull**** that has ever been bull****ted

Glad this Dactyl thing leaves after this series. Frigging lines get right in my view to the batter.
