I blame that disaster squarely on bagwell being in the booth. He's 0-2 this week.
Showed back up for the comeback szn celebration, what'd I miss?

We can't feel too bad. The O's are losing to the White Sox 8-1 in the ninth.
We've already lost the series and the O's haven't.
We've also lost two games to the White Sox.
Good news, A's are up 1-0. Bad news, they may well do to us as well what they're doing to the Mariners.

oh my, oh my...just checking in...
the Big Red Machine is back
Yeah, the Big Red Machine. Bane of my childhood Astros fandom. And now in this current 8 year stretch of the Astros golden era, still can't beat them. I expect the ghost of George Foster to show up tomorrow swinging that black bat.
Hope Astros kick their asses tomorrow. Reds go on the road after tomorrow's game for road trip vs Mets / Braves / Cardinals / Twins. I bet they will be at least 10 under .500 when that road trip is done.
*Game is 26-1 and some random fan is pitching for the Astros, Ty France is 8-9 with 6 doubles, Yordan Alvarez falls asleep on the bench, no one is watching*

Todd: “So, Jeff, do you feel bad about banging that hand doctor’s wife?”
M's are pounding JP Sears. Maybe the Stros could not play like their playoff spot is already locked up tomorrow.
I just looked at the box score. Some dude named Suter gave up a run in a 12-5 game and recorded a save.
Dumbest stat ever.

Update: Junk now facing his 7th batter - he retired none of the 1st 6. It's 9-2. https://t.co/NZ4EZB7voB

midnight news drop for the morning crowdMatt Chapman and Alex Bregman are Boras clients. Chapman is 11 months older than Bregman, and while Chapman has had the better 2024, both players have produced about the same bWAR over the course of their careers https://t.co/dX5aIy8N5i

$25 mil for 6 years. Alex will definitely ask for at least that, I just don't see good ROI after 3 years (if even that).
75-64
5.0 games back of top AL seed (Orioles).
4.5 games back of Wild Card bye (Tribe).
5.5 games lead in AL West (Seamen).
4.5 games back of 1st Wild Card spot (Yankees).
Tied for 2nd Wild Card spot (Twins).
Tied for 3rd Wild Card spot (Royals).

Doubts around his elbow issues should put a dent in that number. I just can't see doing a 6 year contract. Somebody probably will, hopefully not us.
23 games left for us, 22 left for Seattle
13-10 with a series win over them should be the goal

Today's game seems really big. Gotta get the train back on the track before a tough series with the D-Backs.
I mean baseball is gonna baseball sometimes
The Astros lost by 7 to the Reds

Then Dodgers lost by 9 to the Angels
The Orioles lost by 7 to the WhiteSox
What a day
Maybe with Bagwell and Ted Cruz in the booth at the same time, we double jinx the curses and win by 20
Arrighetti didn't do any better tonight. He just flat-out laid an egg. And the porous defense behind him sure didn't help at all. Just an ugly, ugly night.
And they would have to go 18-4. I just hope we don't screw around and let them back in.

So admittedly I only watched the first inning before turning it off, but this is on Pena. Arrighetti has a chance to get out with only 3 runs given, go in the dugout and settle down and maybe fix himself. He wouldn't be the first guy to to that. But once Pena butchered the third out, Spencer was a dead man walking.
Jeremy needs a day off. It's in his head right now and snowballing fast. I'm really worried about the rest of the season with him defensively.

This feels like a mistake. Chappy might be worth 25 M next year and the year after, but probably not for years 3 thru 6.
In the end, Boras didn't cost him money. I still think he mismanaged it tho. If Chappy hit the market, I don't think he gets that from anyone else.
Do you see anyone paying Bregman 150/6?
No, but I didn't see Chappy getting that so it shows what I know. Bregman's injury might throw a wrench into his free agency. Maybe we can get him to come back on a deal with a 1 year opt out so he can show the league his elbow is fine. Something similar to what Bellinger and Chapman signed last year.
Yeah. I don't see it either. It feels like the market is tightening up. Partly teams realizing that players are aging quickly and partly the media money uncertainly.
Jake Meyers is back from the paternity list and Nick Hernandez was recalled from Triple-A. César Salazar and Forrest Whitley were optioned.
— Chandler Rome (@Chandler_Rome) September 5, 2024
Whitley looked good. Weird to immediately send him back down for a nobody.
Fightin' Texas Aggie and Sam Houston State Bearkat
He threw multiple last night right? Need a fresh arm
Little surprised chas stayed up. That's a crap ton of OF

I think there is a zero percent chance Bregman would sign a 1 year deal with anyone.Farmer1906 said:

He said a 1 year opt out. Not a straight 1 year deal
Yup. More like a 3-4 year deal with less money than Bregman wants. If he stays iffy the rest of the year and into the postseason with elbow swelling, other teams are going to be hesitant. He will also have a draft pick linked to him which will lower his value a little.
I really want to know how capable Alex can be at 1B.
Because I wouldn't pay him $151/6 to play 3B but if he can make that transition that would solve a lot of problems.
Stros have a serious gapping hole there and no one we've thrown out there is a solution.

I think the Stros score 10+ today with 3+ HRs.
As for Bregman: 3 years with mutual 4th year option for $23-26 per year. Will need to see how that elbow feels.
Maybe he can move to first once Matthews is ready.
Can Melton play first?
