    there's so much to unpack from today, so i'll just start listing them. tuesday was devastating for oakland, today was twice as devastating for the yankees.  they had just started to play better.

    The boy and I were at the last ALCS clincher - we were walking on air for days after Altuve’s walkoff. Today, the boy is 5,000 miles and 7 hours away, with no way to watch. So we did a video chat, w

  • Enjoy it. Old Altuve, no more Correa means this is the very end of the road for your tainted dynasty.

Attaboys.

I know it’s way too early, but was thinking about who is All-Star worthy this year. Honestly, any of the top 6 in our lineup plus Greinke, Javier, and Presley could make a case depending on competition, but I can’t imagine any of our guys win in the fan vote which will hurt our final number. If things continue at this pace, I think Gurriel, Brantley, and Greinke will have the best chance, but Javier would be fun too. And obviously Yordan in the derby.

The rumors of this clubs demise were greatly exaggerated.

At the end of the losing streak I think it dropped to -1 or -2.  That 16-2 or whatever it was against the Angels really got us back on track.

+26 of that came in the 1st series of the season.

Still having a negative run differential after a 13 game winning streak is fucking incredible.

Yeah our pythag is like 14-9 and Oak is 12-12.

Hell, we're 2nd in MLB and leading the AL again in run differential.  I think we're going to be alright.

Yeah it's a long season, 2.7 times longer than 2020 so there's still plenty of runway left to take flight but our biggest concern is still overall depth. Staying healthy is everything this year. The organization doesn't have a ton of talent waiting for the call to The Show.

I’m going and taking the whole family but I’m 2 tickets short. Want to do a trade maybe for a game later?  I was thinking you are part time- maybe I have a game you don’t?

Y'all remember when one of the last moves of the Luhnow regime was the signing of Austin Pruitt? Is that guy ever gonna pitch?

I can't even begin to understand why they haven't all been vaccinated already.  Texas has been opened up to all ages since March 29th.

Some speculation that since Dusty said “reasons” rather than “protocols” that maybe he didn’t test positive and simply is feeling side effects from his second dose, which isn’t all that uncommon. Who knows though. 
 

In other news, I’m very surprised the are starting Leon at SS in Corpus. If you want to fast track him to the majors why dick around with cross-training him at SS?

Because we are going to need a shortstop in the near future? Center fielders are easier to come by despite our current situation.

I doubt they believe Leon is a viable candidate to replace Correa.  They odds of him being good enough to play SS at an MLB level (outside of an occasional spot start) within a year are remote.  There is also plenty of money to sign someone like Semien or someone even better to fill that hole. 

 

The Rays do stuff like this a lot because of their unforgiving budget constraints but i'm not sure of what use the strategy will have here and it could be counterproductive if it delays his entry into the majors given the lack of other internal options the Astros have for CF.

They viewed Straw as a viable replacement for Springer.  I wouldn't make any assumptions.

Isn't our top prospect SS Jeremy Pena. He had a very good DOWL, which is probably somewhere between AA-AAA baseball.


Peña is on the IL for the next few months with wrist surgery.

Why is Yordan on the 10 day IL and not Covid IL?

Don't know if you're watching but they just said it was the "health and protocol" list on the telecast.  He's eligible to come off as soon as tomorrow - as far as we know.  If it was a positive test it will be longer of course.

#2439

I love watching Greinke pitch. He always does something that makes me either go wow or laugh out loud. Tyler can only wish to be as interesting.

I can't find anyone reporting Alvarez to the Covid IL, they're all saying IL. McTaggart and Berman are usually pretty careful and exact with their reporting so if it were the former, one or both of them would have clarified as such. I hope I'm wrong ....

Fuck Altuve. Got to be more patient than that.

I feel like you are missing a comma there in that first sentence. Either that or you and I are gonna have to go with pistols at dusk.
