    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.

For all the shit some Astros fans give Todd Kalas, he's light years better than Kevin Eschenfelder. He's terrible.

Keep winning series

Another series win

seemed like he called one hell of a game...

 

IDGAF who calls the games really.   I know when Bags is on, I enjoy the reality that comes through the mike.

honestly I normally don't either but there were many looong stretches of silence when the pbp guy is supposed to offer context, description, conversation, anecdotes, whatever and he doesn't have that skill yet. What made it worse was how often he barely reacted to big hits from the Astros bats. I give him a little slack because that's not his role at the network but it was just awkward and weird with him and Blum this weekend. 

The only issue I ever have with Kalas is once or twice a game he gets a fact from the past completely wrong. Other than that he's good in my book.

Chas now has 6 homers, 20 RBI’s in 81 at bats. It shouldn’t be this hard Dusty. 

Straw has been very productive over the last 20 games, hitting .304/.364/.363

I mean he could've filled those silent stretches with wrong information like Kalas does

Astros OPS this season.. MLB average is .710

Altuve .831
Brantley .878
Bregman .803
Alvarez .873
Gurriel .928
Tucker .832
Correa .868
Mccormick .819
Castro .876

In fairness, it is probably difficult to call PBP (when you're a studio guy) and you're not even at the stadium the game is being played at.

Lulz, Straw still sucks.

He probably does long term but right now he doesn’t. 

In Alabama for lilshep baseball world series and where we are staying is doing a light show to honor sec teams, he responded with who cares they arent Texas. While holding up hook em horns

Fucking As. They're doing that stupid annoying pesky Oakland baseball shit where they get really hot and you wonder if they're ever going to lose again.

Off day stumper to throw out at the biggest asshole trivia nut you might know:

Name the only player in professional baseball history to play professional baseball in two cities with Latin-language (not Spanish) names.

 

Answer of course is Yuli, who has played for the Corpus Christi Hooks and Los Gallos de Sancti Spíritus in Cuba. (The Holy Spirit Fighting Cocks. Pretty fucking awesome.)

I bagged on him a lot early, mainly for his almost killing Altuve by being reckless in the field.

I appreciate how he has kept making work.  Now can we trust it, who knows?  The effort is there.  As a fan of sports, I like it.

10000% this 

The 1st ASG voting results were released yesterday and, unsurprisingly, no Astros were in 1st place. Jose is in 2nd with Bregs, Yuli, Yordan and Maldy all in 3rd. The biggest travesty is Uncle Mike in 9th. I don’t expect any starters and that’s not really due to backlash. But several should be reserves.

Yep. I was looking at it and can’t see any Astros that truly deserve to be starters. We’ve got a bunch deserving of being on the team. 
 

I’d go Yuli, Altuve, Correa, Greinke, Presley. 
If I’m being greedy I can plausibly argue for Brantley, Bregman, Yordan and maybe García?  
 

I don’t follow the rest of the league as closely as I used to so maybe there’s 3 clear SS ahead of Correa or something like that and he’s a “tough omission stacked position” kinda guy but his performance is all star caliber.
