    Except he actually made the all star team as a setup guy.

    And the same questions were definitely there in reverse when he started closing games.

    He’s got a ton of miles on his arm… and his WHIP trend suggested he was going to decline this year regardless (which is probably what further inspired securing his replacement).

    But these performances scream more “I’m still in spring training mode” vs. “I am too old” or “I can only pitch 9th innings… with 3 run leads or less… and I’m worse than the worst reliever on the team in any other situation”

    Yeah…. It’s time. Abreu, it would’ve been nice but Father Time caught up with you too soon.

    Should make him run the stairs after the game. He's not doing anything else.

    Remember all the morons screaming "don't panic" the entire season. We made the playoffs with the skin of our teeth. Barely...just barelyyy made it. We're going backwards people. The reality is right in front of us,

    Yeah, the Montero contract never happens and most likely aren’t signing Abreu either if Click was running team.

    We all know if Maldonado was behind the plate Pressly would have thrown a perfect inning.

    Somebody check for a heartbeat. Are they all walking dead or just some of them?

    "We expect to be at .500 at the All-Star Break."

    "We do?"

    If The Astros had a lick of sense that's all you need then..... Bring him over, give him Abreu's locker and a jersey with buttons on it...
