Stanton loving sucks. It's cool cause he's only signed for the next 19 years though.

I'm not sure who fell off a bigger ledge Torres or DJLM. They both went from MVP level production to just complete and utter poo poo.

Stanton was also an MVP when Yankees got him

You and I know that's laughably wrong. Dodgers are the best team in baseball and the Astros have an awful bullpen. This is FAR from over.

Which is why Graveman is coming in. I hope.

the free runners on second rule is such dogshit and i hope they get rid of it next year (they wont)

I think they already said they will get rid of that and the 7 inning games next year?

Also, I really miss Springer.

That Jake Odorizzi contract looks absolutely awful right now. We panicked and signed him after Whitley got TJ and I hate the fact that the Astros did that.

I thought it was in response to Framber broken hand. Either way, yeah he's really bad.

Keep Jansen in please

If only Odorizzi wasn't complete dog poo poo

Bad Framber

Should probably take him out

Chances low Astros come back. This is a pretty poo poo lineup

Turns out if you're trotting out a lineup that features Martin Maldonado at first base you might not score many runs

All because Correa was too tired and Gurriel's stiff neck is keeping him out a week apparently. Ever hear of ibuprofen???

That's some bad command

Yay Yordan

Not pitching hitting Maldo for Gurriel? Ok then

I think the Astros will win the Straw trade. Chas looks to be clearly better than him.

The Toro deal... Well, the Astros probably need to go deep into the playoffs and/or resign Graveman. Mariner fans are probably pretty drat stoked about the deal though.

Yeah I looked at his game log and he's been killing it ever since the trade. Happy for him.

Astros starting pitching continues to be less than ideal. Bad even

Probably not a good idea to take a RP that the Rays want to dump, M's.

Glad they did though

Stanek is so frustrating

MrMidnight

Yordan blast would be nice right now.

Welp

MrMidnight

If Stanek can keep it up I see another Dotel, Lidge, Wagner combo at the end of games

He was on first base with one out

Yeah very dumb move

It's pretty surprising that the Mariners have the record they do... They aren't a very impressive team. That is a BAD lineup.

Yeah, it was bound to happen sooner or later
