    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.

Astros close RHP Phil Maton from Cleveland

By Rachel G. Bowers

July 30, 2021 at 2:46 PM CDT

The Astros acquired right-handed reliever Phil Maton and catching prospect Yanier Diaz from Cleveland, a source told The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal before the deal was made official. Cleveland got back center fielder Myles Straw.

 

Zack Meisel, Cleveland beat writer: Cleveland swung a pair of trades just before the deadline, sending Maton and Diaz to Houston in exchange for Straw, and shipping outfielder Jordan Luplow and reliever D.J. Johnson to Tampa for pitching prospect Peyton Battenfield. Straw rates among the league’s best in terms of swing-and-miss rate and defensive metrics. He doesn’t hit for power (three career home runs in 198 games), but he can swipe a bunch of bases. Luplow had just joined the club in Chicago and was to be activated from the injured list in time for its series opener against the White Sox on Friday. Battenfield owns a 2.14 ERA between High A and Double A this season, with 95 strikeouts in 67 1/3 innings.

 

Jake Kaplan, Astros beat writer: In Maton, the Astros got a reliever who has two more seasons after this one before he reaches free agency. But they gave up Straw, their starting center fielder, who is still in his pre-arb years and was a 1.5-bWAR player in ~100 games in '21. Creative but risky.

The Indians guy stillbthinks Straw is good at stealing bases.

As long as we win the WS and resign Correa, I'm cool with Click.

We were cheap at the trade deadline and didn’t get his agreement done by the end of spring training. I do not trust Ownership to pony up for CC

I could see an Alvarez , Tucker, Brantley outfield for SF game 1 when Framber is pitching. After that, who knows?

Finally.  I've been wanting to try Ted in CF all year.

Tomorrow will be interesting to see who gets optioned/DFAd to make room for both Maton and Meyers.

Bielak? Raley? Robel? Montero?

Fire up the jet, Jim  Probably not a whole lot of good flights from El Paso to S.F.
 
I'm sure he can catch a southwest flight that goes EP > Dallas > MCI > Vegas > SLC > LAX > SFO
 
I mean of course no one is gonna be upset about this, but this is bullshit

That's nuts, he should fly to SJC then drive up 280.

Bielak has to be one

Agreed, he's a given since he can be optioned as often as needed this year. So that leaves one more spot to go and I doubt it's Robel Garcia because he's the only backup infielder on the roster. 

I'd guess it has to be either Raley or Montero.

ETA: Or I guess they could also option Abreu, but that doesn't make a lot of sense to me if they want to keep power arms in play.

The final turn to the World Series stats tonight. Let’s get healthy and play like we can !!!!

SF fans are like...."Boooo.....well fuck yall kept the Dodgers from winning so whatever"

Couldn’t ask for a better 3 AB’s than that

Hard to blame him though since they're watching like we are on monitors

Is 29 pitches a lot for 1 out?  Seems like a lot.

I thought Yordan hit it to the moon for a second 

2 feels like a massive fail there

Good first inning but two runs feels two runs short of what should have been.

I'll take it against that team 

43 pitches put on him is a win though

Let's go Framberlamps!

What a bullshit call on Altuve

no.  It was two bullshit calls in the same AB.

What’s the VPN mlb.tv combo that works?   I’m moving to Tulsa and for some reason it is Astros blackout territory for mlb.tv. 

I'm not sure I can remember seeing Altuve mad enough to break his bat
