As much as I thought Contreras was a good fit for the roster, Urquidy for Contreras would have been a bad deal for Houston. You don’t trade 3.5...
It would surprise me if no one in the Astros front office was hesitant to commit $140M+ to a 40 year old pitcher 2 years removed from a Tommy John...

I think Crane has a unique affection for Verlander and is willing to override his front office’s recommendations/wishes to sign him. I’d say...
I will prolly take another look and post after thanksgiving. I actually think we will find out a lot in the next few weeks. Verlander...
Peña’s quote after winning mvp showed truly amazing character and maturity for a guy his age. Almost as impressed by that as I have been his play...
What’s crazy is that next year’s team could be even better. In fact in terms of opening day roster talent, I would bet they will be.
The Big Orange Machine
Yep. You want 10 viable SP entering every season, and for contenders 7 of them need to be guys who would be in most rotations in the league....
I would rather see Urquidy than Garcia if Framber can’t go 6.
He threw multiple innings in game 1, so wasn’t available for game 2, and wasn’t needed in the other games. If Verlander would have gotten knocked...
My current realistic best case offseason would be for them to sign a 1B (Bell or Abreu) and an OF (Haniger or Conforto) and trade for a catcher...
[MEDIA] Correa should start next season in AA and will definitely be worth following. He makes good swing decisions, rarely misses, has decent...
Nimmo, Bell, and Abreu seem like great values off that list. I’d be fine with Houston giving JV $130M/3yr, but id rather have all 3 of Contreras,...
2 home games to win 1. Framber in game 1. Everybody else available for game 2. Really liking Houston’s odds. JV and Pressly met the moment.
Why did they pull Neris?
Good inning for Verlander. He’s thru 4 with 1 run. Short leash time. If he allows a run or multiple base runners they need to go to the pen....
A win tonight makes it a 2 game series, both at home, with Framber in game 1 and all hands on deck (including Javier) for game 2. Right now the...
Legacy game for Verlander. A gem tonight is full redemption and could cement him as a WS hero. Another turd and it’ll be another step toward his...
Verlander needs to meet the moment tomorrow.
