Guest Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I don’t know what I liked more, Bauer being on the Indians where they can choke in the playoffs again, or relegated to a third tier bottom feeder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Yasiel Puig will be the one doing the choking from now on, thank you very much. Not the figurative kind of choking either lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Astros got Greinke to buff up the rotation with Verlander and Cole. Throw in Wade Miley and that is 4 tough dudes to go against in a 7 game series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Didn’t even see that the Astros also got Aaron Sanchez from the Blue Jays. The nerds in the pitcher’s room will figure out how to get his spin rate up and he will suddenly return to his early form or probably even better. Good golly, this was a great day for the Astros.

Littleronin Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Yeah that Astros rotation is no joke. But I feel Arizona got the steal on that with only paying $8million a year on Greinke and still getting a bunch of prospects on the return.

silentbob Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Astros did real well today. I wanna fucking shoot the Blue Jays GM for the shitty deals he got for some great players he offloaded for nothing. Stroman and Sanchez gone isn’t going to hurt us now, but who the hell do we have now for pitching in the coming years. We got pitching guys back but their performance in the minor leagues doesn’t give me much hope. If he is half of what his father was, I do have hope for when Roy Halladay’s son is ready for the big league callup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have one of the best scouting and development groups, sometimes that results in building talent themselves (like 6 of their 9 everyday starters), and other times it results in flipping prospects for pitching talent. It’s both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Sanchez threw 6 not-hit innings in his first start for the Astros. Their pitcher coaching and analytics staff is ridiculous.

Guest Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Astros mid-season rookie call up Yordan Alvarez continues to prove he is the reincarnation of Albert Pujols. Batting .350, 52 RBI, 17 HR in 45 games. Staggering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 It's been such a disappointing season for Boston, but Rafael Devers has been pure joy to watch. Also really happy to see Bogaerts having such a nice season after signing that extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But watching Ketel Marte and Carson Kelly show signs of brilliance has been a gift of warm and fuzzies. I hope this off-season gives some idea of the direction the team is going as this "competitive rebuild" is just annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I enjoyed the Championship last year, Boston has me worried to an extent. I forget how much money is coming off the books after this season, but they still have a lot invested in big contracts and pitching is the issue. This year's rotation has underwhelmed and the bullpen is just terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only seen the Yankees and Indians do it successfully, and the Indians got more lucky than anything imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Through tonight’s game, the top 5 in ERA amongst starters in the American League are: 1. Justin Verlander 2. Gerrit Cole 3. Zack Greinke 4. Wade Miley 5. Charlie Morton Four Astros and Morton who was created in the Astros pitching lab 2 years ago. They are going to pull a 90s Braves and blow this somehow, aren’t they Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I read today that Tyler Skaggs died from an OD. I kinda figured that, but still sad to have confirmation. Crazy to think these guys who put so much work into their bodies go down that path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
