    Daniels basically went from college to running a team in that time period. After 17 years, he is still young for a Team President/GM.

    Waiting for somebody in Dallas to write an article blaming the Astros cheating scandal for the lack of Rangers success….

    I personally wouldn't mind taking a chance. How's his defense?

    Looks like Andrus is in talks with the White Sox. I think they have injuries so he'll get playing time. He was mad in Oakland because he went from a regular to splitting time with another. No idea if Houston had interest but would have been the same splitting time with Pena.

    He's played only SS (literally) in his career and the Stros don't have the room or need for a guy like that.

    Cubs-Brewers have had 5 lead changes and 5 HR in 6 innings. Fun game. Good to hear JD in the booth again.

    July 4th 7-6 win at KC
    Apr 24 8-7 win vs TOR.

    Only 2 1 run wins this season where they scored over 6.

    i think they were banking on one of their two top 6 players in the game not getting suspended for 80 games

    They’ve been without tatis this whole year. They’re worse since the trade.

    Well yeah. Doesn’t mean they weren’t counting on him to come back, pair with Soto, and light the league on fire accordingly.

    Doesn’t take away from being as bad as they’ve been. Classic team casuals thought would just take off after the trade. But they picked up a bunch of players that have sucked it up.
