Heads up base running from Jake there. Crazy to see essentially that twice in one game

As good as Peña has been, it seems like every time there's men on base he is up there swinging at everything. I wish he'd be more patient, especially knowing if they walk him they'd have to face Alvarez.

He got up to 99 during the France AB, ends in a high cutter chased for a K.

Love to see Josh shut the door in San Diego. They hate him for not being willing to go 2 innings at the end of the season in a contract year when they had virtually no shot at making the playoffs

I'd find a place to play Yordan in the field for 1 game. The man needs his mind of hitting for a game.

I know he's a definitive upgrade, but I hold my breath every time it's hit to Allen.

Quote:
Houston is in active conversations about acquiring a right-handed outfield bat, according to multiple sources speaking on the condition of anonymity for their candor to discuss internal matters.

Two names of particular interest, according to sources, are Rob Refsnyder and Austin Hays, who were designated for assignment this week to clear spots for players acquired at the trade deadline. Jorge Soler, whom the Los Angeles Angels released amid their fire sale, seems another logical fit.

The Astros' rationale for seeking a right-handed bat is twofold: improving their bench options late in games and giving their coaching staff freedom to form a platoon in left field with either Taylor Trammell or LaMonte Wade Jr., who hit left-handed.

Refsnyder has long been renowned for his success against left-handed pitching, so much so that this winter the Seattle Mariners signed him to a one-year, $6.25 million contract to serve as a platoon player. Last season with the Boston Red Sox, Refsnyder had a .959 OPS in 138 plate appearances against southpaws. Hays has a career .816 OPS against lefties.

Oh really?

If the playoffs started today, the dodgers would have to play in a wild card series and the Astros wouldn't

Astros have had pretty terrible results (luck) on trades in recent years. Mancini (.622 OPS) & Vazquez (.585 OPS) in 2022, Sanchez (.611 OPS) in 2025, and now Varsho (so far)

Pitching was a little better with Verlander ('23) and Kikuchi ('24), but damn. Can we get at least 1 hitter that performs?
