Yeah, coffee hasn't hit yet so I forgot they need to open a spot on the 40-man.

I haven't had time to look but they could move France to the 60-day and send Leon back to Sugar Land to open a spot I believe.

---

Completely forgot about France.

What do we think about the start of next year with our injured pitchers? I would assume Graveman, Garcia, and Murfee (not sure on contract status) would be ready in spring training. I also expect that Javier, France, and Urquidy will not be ready and may need more time, maybe the AS break or later. We should be getting Tucker back about that time, too (haha).

I won't even mention McCullers for obvious reasons.

I dont believe Graveman isnt under contract next year

Graveman will be a UFA.

Javier and Urquidy will be more like ASB.

McCullers… who knows.

Lance will make more HEB commercials than appearances next year.

Lance is going into HEB Hall of Shame history with Brock Osweiler.

Scientists have studied this commercial for almost a decade and proven that it is a singularity in the history of our galaxy where extreme talent was paired with no talent, resulting in an incursion that destroyed 17 versions of Earth in the multiverse.

A follow-up study showed that this 90 second ad took 4 years off JJ Watt's career merely by standing close to Osweiler without a lead apron on like they give you at the dentist. His suckage radiated off and probably kept JJ from winning a Super Bowl at some point.

Yesterday was horrible army, I got home from work. Had to sit there and stare at my kids while something called a "despicable me" was on tv. Dinner had no flavor, small talk stoned on in the background like an adult in a Peanuts cartoon. It was a little taste of the off season, and I'm not ready for it.

Thank God we have the mercy killing of the ChiSox this evening, I can't handle Astros-less weeknights

good to see Whitcomb come up

Dana has to do something to try to improve the bench and/or outfield

the late game strategy each time...can't be to hope a .600 OPS hitter gets a big hit

it worked Wednesday night in the 10th vs. the Rays, but going forward that's not the way

The Kool-Aid man would be ecstattic

I think this is fake.

There's weird red coloring on trees and (I assume) grass back behind the stadium and Google Maps still shows it green

Edit: Bobcat beat me to it

That looks photoshopped. Look beyond the outfield wall and the grass and trees are also red.

'

I guess it could be so recent change but considering the coloring in the rest of the vid looks off it is most likely fake.

It would have to be a minor league DFA-swap situation

I wonder how much this correlates to winning as a team.

Rangers have 3 in the top 34.

We only have 2 in the top 50. LAD have 2 in the top 50. NYY have 2 of the top 3 but that's its.

Is this really a "2010s" jersey?

For most of the 2010s we had the orange and navy.

Altuve definitely didn't wear it before the 2010s.

I mean that doesn't mean much… they have a navy and gold Tucker jersey giveaway that he never wore

Abreu still on the list months after being cut is pretty telling.

Dang Chas has fallen really far

Semien? Really? Maybe he's just incredible when hitting in Houston?
