Yeah, a road trip to St. Louis. What could go wrong?- RIP Rutger Hauer
Yeah, well, you know that's just like, uh, your opinion man.- 2019 Houston Astros Thread
What I meant is that it would seem the Astros would have more leverage if Kemp was still on the roster. Kemp would appear to be more valuable because the Astros wouldn't HAVE to trade him. After the DFA, teams know the Astros have to trade him, therefore they can get him at a discount. They may even get him for free if the Astros can't trade him. However, and what I tried to explain earlier, Luhnow probably figured teams could already determine that by looking at the Astros roster and knowing that he would lose Kemp anyway in August when the Astros are going to need 13 pitchers so that is why he DFA'd Kemp now. Addition after edit I think you make a good point about DFAing Kemp may actually increase the leverage.- 2019 Houston Astros Thread
It is interesting how Luhnow is timing this decision. He could have optioned Straw in order to activate Correa. That would have given him some extra time to make the decision on Kemp. Sometime in August he would have had to DFA Kemp anyway when adjusting the roster from 12 to 13 pitchers. I guess it doesn't change the Astros trade leverage in any way because teams already knew Kemp and Straw would have to be removed from the roster to move to 13 pitchers.- RIP Rutger Hauer

Mark them down to 2.25. That is his batting average and official weight.- Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo
If each team had equal coaching, I would take the 1996 team over any Mack Brown team except 2005 and 2008. Maybe 2004 and 2009. The win over Nebraska saved Mackovic's job because that 96 team was terribly mismanaged.- 2019 Houston Astros Thread
This press release was on Wednesday. I wish it had been made a few days earlier so Bagwell could have commented on it when he covered the game Tuesday. I hope the Red Sox celebrate the 2004 World Series the next time St Louis visits. Fuck the Cardinals.- 2019 Houston Astros Thread
Or they are getting him prepped to be next year's pitching version of Alvarez.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2020
I doubt they are counting on Brown at all. If he is able to play, that would be tremendous. But it wouldn't be wise to plan on him at all until he (1) gets cleared by doctors and (2) completes spring and/or fall practices.- 2019 Houston Astros Thread
Do you really want to open that conversation?- RIP Rutger Hauer
His first American movie - Nighthawks. Blade Runner was his second. Not a bad start. Some more recent movies that haven't been mentioned: Sin CIty......the evil cardinal Batman Begins.....head of Wayne Enterprises- 2019 Houston Astros Thread
1) Bregman is a better SS 2) Bregman has played a lot more SS over the last couple of months than Diaz- 2019 Houston Astros Thread
After a second reading, I guess you're right. But I said it better.- 2019 Houston Astros Thread
I would love to keep Cole, but I think Crane has said he wants to avoid the luxury tax. The threshold will be $208mm. I'm sure the Astros will play up the fact that they developed Cole into a dominant pitcher and will be a contender for the near future. But Boras is his agent.- 2019 Houston Astros Thread
No, if he had pitched those games in 2017 the Astros lose and the Dodgers win. If he pitches those games in 2019 for LA, the Astros win and the Dodgers lose.- Kingsman 3
Bloody and violent with some butt sex? Sounds like a good movie...... .....or a good second date.- 2019 Houston Astros Thread
Everybody is overlooking the biggest factor for Chirinos struggling right now. He is being overused. He is 35 years old and he is being used more than he ever has in his career. Here's the percent of games he's played since he became a regular. 2014 - 57% 2015 - 48% 2016 - 35% 2017 - 54% 2018 - 69% 2019 - 76% I don't know the complete story behind his usage while he was a Ranger, if he was injured or a backup or whatever. I do know that earlier in the year when he was fresh, he was having a really good year. Now he is getting worn down. For the rest of the year, he should just catch 3 out of 5 games. During September, he should catch even less.- Kingsman 3
They're really trying hard to get this series going. Haven't seen either of the first two.....are they any good?- 2019 Houston Astros Thread
If they want to go with 13 position players, they can put James on the IL to activate Diaz. The only way Kemp stays on the team is if they have 13 position players on the roster. CLARIFICATION When Diaz gets activated, Straw and Kemp can both stay on the roster if the Astros go with 13 position players. Or Straw can get optioned to Round Rock. When Diaz and Correa are both on the roster, the only way Kemp stays on the team is with 13 position players.- 2019 Houston Astros Thread
