Then put them on staff if they are willing to retire and stick around. That sort of thinking leads to stagnation. Those positions can and should be upgraded.

You misunderstand. They should try to resign Verlander. The other 2 should be sent down the road with genuine thanks.

2022 Houston Astros Thread
I think you’re taking a joke a bit too seriously. But you should be looking for his 5th hit anyway: he started the season 4-54. I’d call that a streak of futility close to 4-63, but we’re just splitting hairs. Maldonado is arguably the worst hitting non-pitcher in baseball history, so to be compared to him in any case means you’re having a bad run. Which was, you know, the joke.

I mean, that’s just a typical 3 weeks at the office for Maldonado.

I’d say he signed up for all of it-for multiple years, in fact. He willingly tied his career to Kyrie. He might not be responsible for any particular manifestation of it, but the insanity that comes with him is inevitable. That’s what he committed to. The questionable personnel decisions he forced all around that are just icing on the cake.

Javier isn’t going to give you more than 5 innings max on short rest anyway (and possibility more like 3-4). The plan in a game 7 should be for both those guys to pitch anyway. I don’t get the handwringing over which one appears first.

Maybe they look at sample sizes larger than one game?

Agree with the general point, but with the Astros pitching depth, those 2 things aren't mutually exclusive. Luis Garcia would be a #3 on most teams - a #2 on some. He can't get a start.- bitterwhiteguy is quitting writing because chris beard is killing his joy

Yeah no way they can put up more than 4 runs against Philly…- 2022 World Series Thread - Phillies v Astros

They force taxpayers to foot the bill for them anyway, what’s a few hundred million more?- 2022 World Series Thread - Phillies v Astros
Funny, but irrelevant. I believe the discussion was about new stadiums that have been built, not replacing century old ones. You don’t need a roof in Southern California. And I don’t think anyone would advocate replacing Wrigley or Fenway or even any existing completely ordinary stadium for that matter. But there’s no good reason for any baseball stadium built in this century to not have at least a retractable roof in any part of the country where weather is a regular factor. It’s not football where you can just play on in inclement weather.- Netflix to produce Witcher series starring Henry Cavill
That was my thought also. Bummer.- 2022 Houston Astros Thread

Not only that-here’s the list of 2B with multiple seasons of wRC+ of at least 160 in the postwar era: Joe Morgan Jose Altuve Thats it. That’s the list.- 2022 Houston Astros Thread
I mean, that isn’t really fiddling with the order. It actually makes it more like the regular season.- 2022 Houston Astros Thread
I’ve been thinking the whole time I’d start Garcia in Game 5 if the series is 3-1, just to try to save Verlander for Game 1 of the WS.- Hire Willie Fritz on the cheap
Strong “show me a third win on this schedule” vibes here. This team is capable of winning-or losing-every remaining game. That’s been the case all year, wild week-to-week board mood swings notwithstanding.- When you QB has a hurt throwing hand you MAKE A FUCKING CHANGE
Please. Ewers looks worse than Tyrone Swoopes today.- 2022 Houston Astros Thread
Javier so he would be available in a potential game 7 if needed. Don’t think they’d let McCullers pitch on short rest given his injury. - 2022 World Series Thread - Phillies v Astros
