Hoping for at least 2 out of 3 against the Pirates as well. Very excited to see Skenes tomorrow regardless of outcome
I blame today on that kid

Do we have one more year of montero?
Ok Dana... Make a trade. Starter, strong offensive first base bat, and a reliever. Get on it.
Series win is huge. Really hoping we win the next two as well.
2 of 3 keeps the train moving forward
and the Mariners are finished with the White Sox (27-81)
Astros still have the pale hose for 3 in August

JD has looked cooked this year, but he's less than a year removed from being a far better player than Big Jon has ever been.EastCoastAgNc said:With @JonHeyman : J.D. Davis is being DFA’d to open a spot on the Yankees’ active roster for Jazz Chisholm

If the Astros just keep winning series against good teams and sweeping more bad teams than not sweeping them, they will be in good shape at the end of the year.
JD being DFAed twice this season. That can't be fun.
Feels like sweeping or not losing to the bad teams has been the issue lately. Which is crazy

Yeah we caught the As at a bad time but the Dodgers at a good time, that's baseball
About those plans to sell…..

The San Francisco Giants (53-55) pull off a 4-game sweep over the Colorado Rockies, play their next 12 games against teams with losing records, and are just 4 games back in the wild-card race with a thriving starting rotation.
The Giants might be saving Crane from himself (smell)
The Rays are running a clinic on how to sell. Column: https://t.co/DemuSXifAP

Why?

Nothing that happened Sunday should increase urgency or alter the Astros’ trade deadline objectives. Still, it illustrated what they need - https://t.co/gO2OQ9NSYM

Quote:
The Astros are exploring the reliever market, Brown said, though prices there are higher than for starters. Even if Houston does only acquire a starter, the expected returns of Justin Verlander and Luis Garcia could ostensibly push an existing starter into the bullpen, thereby strengthening the corps from within. Injuries have ravaged its rotation, but Houston has remained remarkably healthy in the bullpen.
Sustaining it is another matter entirely, but that could be said for Houston's entire team. Only three major-league lineups have hit fewer home runs than the Astros since June 4, the first day of outfielder Kyle Tucker's 44-game absence.
Passing the baton has been prioritized in place of power, a fact Saturday's comeback win proved. The team totaled two extra-base hits and still erased a five-run deficit, a testament to the hitters' approaches and buy-in along with a legitimate concern of whether it can be maintained against the caliber of pitching Houston hopes to face in the playoffs.
"We're very fortunate that we're playing as well as we are without (Tucker)," Brown said, "but it's not sustainable."
in the month of July...
the A's rank 1st in MLB in runs (143), HR's (21), and OPS (.840)
the Astros rank:
8th in runs (103).....19th in HR's (21).....21st in OPS (.713)
Dana is right

This is not a good trend
The Houston Astros are promoting LHP Trey Dombroski to Corpus Christi (Double-A).
— Chase Ford (@_chaseford) July 29, 2024
Dombroski has a 0.92 ERA in July with 21 strikeouts in those 4 starts for the Asheville Tourists.#Astros
The Houston Astros are promoting RHP Ethan Pecko to Corpus Christi (Double-A).
— Chase Ford (@_chaseford) July 29, 2024
Pecko had a 3.89 ERA along with 97 strikeouts in 69.1 innings for the Asheville Tourists.#Astros
Trying to be patient, but I'd really like for the Astros to do something pretty quickly here.
Sources: The Tigers and Orioles are remaining in contact on a possible Tarik Skubal trade, but there’s no deal close at this hour.

Word is the Rays insisted that Hunter Brown be included in any Paredes package. We just weren't going to do that.
Damn, that's insane. I guess they would do the same for yandy?
Lmao
and then they took Morel instead. Bizarretexasaggie2015 said:

They love Morel and have wanted him for a while. They love his tools and think they can get him going
Predictions on Skenes line tonight?
I'm going 6 innings, 1 run and 9K
