So multiple Astros' front offices are super-weak and can't control or influence their manager? Everyone likes to say "well, in the playoffs, the...
Multiple people have said over time that only JV and Framber really prefer him and the rest would be fine with anyone. It's all conjecture as to...
Or maybe they are hearing all the fan criticism and actually like him and want to defend their teammate. Or maybe the Astros are expending their...
No one's going to like this, but the pitcher love for Maldy is not limited to JV and Framber....
I'm a bit shocked that Tampa Bay's roster wad almost entirely from trades, given all the talk about their drafting skills.
Maybe, maybe no. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/38122958/florida-state-consider-leaving-acc-due-revenue-distribution To get...
This is what happens when you spend half the year under "emergency measures" because Congress won't raise the debt ceiling to play political...
I don't know the exact numbers, but aren't Baltimore and Atlanta built the same general way?
I think Cinci is sneaky-good. They can't seem to beat Milwaukee, but they are on a solid run outside of that. Take out the Milwakee games and I...
And, knowing that, does anyone think the Astros shouldn't have traded for Gerrit Cole? Does anyone think the Astros regret trading for Cole?...

The majority of the prospects the Astros have actually traded the last several years have turned into nobodies. Did the Pirates get anything from...
But what happened last offseason is just a sunk cost. Whatever happened in the past is irrelevant to what they should do now. The goal is just to...
Last offseason, they didn't know McCullers, Garcia, and Urquidy would all get hurt and that Javier would have his issues. JV was a luxury last...
I've never understood this. The Mets should *want* to trade him within the division if they get the best prospects, if the Mets are trying to...
It feels like this thesis (popular around baseball) assumes that Ohtani is super-dumb. So the Angels, after 6 years, squeak into the playoffs...
Would you rather add those two and Scherzer while losing Eovaldi and your starting catcher (likely for the season), or add Altuve, Yordan, and...
The Astros have been playing better than the Rangers for ~2 months now. And they just added Altuve and Yordan and may add Urquidy soon. I...
