    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

Garcia is having a decent season.  He'll help, but if the Astros had a good bullpen, he would be a meh.

Edited by kevwun

Seems pretty meh on first glance.  23.2 K% and 8.6 BB%.

Has Julia been put out to pasture?  I see they've been using this younger up and cumer of late.

Wow, Austin Pruitt DFA'd.
Pretty sure someone still had to be moved for Montero being active....thats what twitter told me earlier.

All right resident experts give me the run down on Garcia. Is this a good addition? Or meh?

he was having a great season until the past several weeks where he's leveled off.  i can't imagine we'll keep adding closers, but what do i know.

His fb velocity and spin rate is what entices....

0.93 WHIP last year with 11.4 k/9

I was about to say I wonder what Miami would want for Bleier and life long Longhorn John Curtiss, but Yimi Garcia is a good piece. Acquire closers that become high leverage setup guys for us. Though his stats say he'd be better like how Oakland uses Petit.

I hope Strom sees something he can fix because a lot of those numbers are trending in a bad direction.  He gets hit kind of hard for someone who has good stuff.

How so?

We traded two and got two in return so Montero's spot on the roster was already open. 

 

Edit: Robel being recalled filled that spot on the active roster. The DFA of Pruitt did leave an opening on the 40-man.

Graveman still appears to be pissed to be an Astro.

Hopefully the Astros have a late lead today and he takes it out on his old team for trading him

He wasn't expecting or hoping for a trade since they are in the wildcard chase.  It really was a weird ass trade on Seattle's side of it.

Damn, Yuli has been struggling with the power lately. That breaks a 151 PA run of no HRs.

did he say something?  i'm not really watching the game today.

"tigers won 17-14, good thing they got that late field goal"

love me some robert ford

no, but a camera zoomed in on him just looking stoic in the dugout by himself

Per this ESPN article Scherzer has ruled out Houston as a trade destination, first time I've seen that.

Where Max Scherzer could land at deadline: Sources say Max Scherzer would approve a trade to any of the West Coast teams pursuing a deal for the Nationals ace, but he has ruled out Houston and Philadelphia as destinations. Scherzer can veto a trade using his 10-and-5 rights (10 years of service, five with the same team). -- Jesse Rogers
