My comment wasn’t a dig on Maldy’s intelligence, more that he is way too good working with players to be separated from them by being up in the...
I would gladly trade Framber, Tucker, and $160M of Jim Crane’s money for Jordan Montgomery, Teoscar Hernandez, and 6 of the top 100 prospects in...
I’d trade any player not named Altuve or Yordan for the right return. If the Astros are sure Tucker won’t sign a team-friendly extension and...
Looks like Alfonsin did not have his contract renewed, as the first tweet in that thread announced he’s moving on but he doesn’t seem to have...
Astros still have ~15% chance to win this series. It’s not over. They dropped 2 games where their guys just didn’t meet the moment; it wasn’t...
That Pablo Lopez game against the Twins was one where you tip your cap and move on. He was that good. Montgomery was not on that level last...
JV better throw a gem. There are 2 lesser hitters in the lineup to accommodate him.
This is one of those deals where it’s pretty clear the front office believes that Singleton’s MLB history does not indicate what kind of hitter...
I think it just came down to matchups. They see Brantley is healthy and like how McCormick (and/or Dubon) matches up with the Rangers pitching...

Drive me smooth, mf
It really really sucks that Altuve is the face of a cheating scandal considering there’s heavy evidence that he didn’t even participate and...
This is ridiculous. Astros clearly better: 1B, 3B, RF, CF, DH, bench, bullpen Push: 2B, LF, SP Rangers clearly better: SS, C The Astros might...
When he signed: 7 When he was at his worst: 3 Now: 7
That’s amazing. This is unquestionably one of the top 3 runs in baseball history. Better than the A’s in the 70s or 80s. Better than the Giants...
I will admit there were times this season when I didnt think it would be the Astros’ year. And there were times I truly worried if Jose Abreu was...
Worth every penny.
I think Houston has a bunch of leaders who lead in different ways. Altuve and Alvarez (and to a lesser extent Brantley) have the type of quiet...
I wouldn’t mind Castro in an actual front office role. He’s a smart mf. Maldy needs to be in a coaching role. Different skillsets.
4 clean from Urquidy 1 each from France, Maton, Neris, Abreu, and Pressly
