January 8, 20205 yr A legit catcher to me was a bigger priority than third base, so it's good to see Chirinos back. They still need a young guy to take some innings and groom, get the dead end no-hitting scrubs off the roster.
January 8, 20205 yr Always liked RC from his time here; solid catcher and not a great bat but definitely with some power...
January 8, 20205 yr Let's get a 3rd baseman, possibly a 1st baseman, and let Solak play more than Odor. Another relief pitcher would be nice if possible.
January 8, 20205 yr I’m a little surprised mlb doesn’t let a team opening a new park start at home, but I’m guessing ownership doesn’t mind the tues-thurs home opener series against the angels. Might sell out 3 midweek games. Edited January 8, 20205 yr by Pato del Muerto

Guess it gives them a week to work out the last minute kinks.....
January 9, 20205 yr I think that may be intentional, because often new parks end up being behind schedule and an extra week or two could come in handy.

January 9, 20205 yr Jeff Wilson kinda rained on our Castellanos parade yesterday. Quote A club official rebuked a Monday report that the Rangers met with free-agent outfielder Nick Castellanos and are a finalist to sign him. According to the official, the Rangers have not met with him, have not made him an offer and are not going to move Joey Gallo from right field to first base to accommodate Castellanos.

Santana isn't a good defensive center fielder. I'm not sure Gallo isn't better.
January 10, 20205 yr Emily Jones gets some grief from fans and I've noticed that 99% of it comes from older women. Do these stay at home mom, HOA president assholes not have anything better to do with their lives than criticize women their age that are more successful?

Emily is awesome and Linda can fuck right off.
January 10, 20205 yr Someone tell Linda maybe because it’s TR Sullivan’s job to handle shit like that, not hers. I know Emily’s husband, he’s cool.
January 10, 20205 yr $4.4M for Joey, $3.6M for Santana, that was quick & painless. 20 years without arbitrationSent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
January 12, 20205 yr 1/$5M with an option, that’s fucking nothing. Edited January 12, 20205 yr by ss13

January 12, 20205 yr Castellanos is the only 1B option left we would consider. Frazier can play there too.
January 12, 20205 yr Agreed. Covering our bases. Leaves open the slight possibility of Arrenado and buys Jung/Apostel time. Plus we can possibly flip him Solid.
January 13, 20205 yr The Astros now have the same amount of legitimate World Series titles as the Rangers- Zero. Lulz.
January 13, 20205 yr Can the stupid clutch city moniker die now that Houston is a complete disgrace to pro sports?
January 14, 20205 yr "Man, I'm glad you asked that question, and I thought it would come up today. We talked about this the other day, and in reality, it's a joke, but Major League Baseball does a lot to ensure the fairness of the game," said Hinch. "There's people everywhere, if you go through the dugouts and the clubhouses and the hallways, there's like so many people around that are doing this. Then when I get contacted about some questions about whistling, it made me laugh because it's ridiculous. Had I known that it would take something like that to set off the Yankees or any other team, we would have practiced it in spring training, because apparently it works even when it doesn't happen." -unemployed manager Pooooooooooooooor Houston
January 14, 20205 yr What have they ever been clutch at anyway?I dunno, it was dumb in the first place .
