Does anyone know why Ausmus was in town Friday? I do. Because Craig fucking Biggio was being honored by the Sunshine Kids and Ausmus and Bagwell were part of that ceremony because of their relationship with Biggio.

Potential GM names for the Astros, per Passan

-Sig Mejdal
-David Stearns
-Brad Ausmus

    Going through old pics because of the death of my grandmother / mom and came across this -- 1996, my son's first Astros game.

One of those names is not like the others.

At some point the Astros are going to have to balance the 40-man roster better. They currently have 36 on it and only 14 position players, 3 of which are catchers. This has been a concern of mine for a while. 

I heard that Jim Crane is going to enter the season with only 37 players on the active roster purely because fuck analytics.

One of those names was inserted purely to paint the narrative that the author was trying to convey.

i heard he wants 36 because reggie jackson hit 36 homers in 1975.

But won't the dodger fans boo him every start?? Regardless I wish him the best . Thanks JV

Well, every free agent move from here on will be for a position player, so that will do some work to balance it. I also advocate trading Maton or simply firing him into the sun, so that too would help. 

Verlander to the Dodgers and Correa to the Yankees would be the chef’s kiss.

Agreed we should wish him the best. Also, this seems like an excellent way for the Dodgers to maybe win 112 games this go round without winning a WS. I’m in favor of that.

Correa to the Yanks would make me sad and maybe even help them in the playoffs. We should not want that imo. But yeah- they would sure as shit still boo the hell out of Altuve while embracing Carlos. 

A little sad Blanco is on the 40 man instead of someone like Julks. Would be surprised if he isn't picked in the draft.

Yeah I don’t get that at all. He had a great year last year and is knocking on the door. 

how old is Julks

He will be 27 next year

Ok so a little old to really be useful to us.

 

But I can see why protecting him would make sense

Covid killed his prospects in this organization. Not having 2020 set his development back.

Haha, I’m usually skimming Surly on a phone and not paying attention to who writes what, but every time I see someone advocate violence upon Maton I know it’s you.

So much for the JV/Hinch/Detroit Reunion Tour. I wonder if the Tigers had shown a pulse this year if it would have happened.

I hope the Angels get involved with JV to drive up the price for the Dodgers. 

Patiently waiting for Cashman to f*** up Correa to the Yankees.

I don't think the Angels are involved after signing Anderson but maybe.

We don’t really need him. Spend that money on OF, c and 1B

I mean, I also suggested we could trade him and not inflict any kind of violence upon him, so it’s more a listing of possibilities on how we can handle him as opposed to some sort of moral imperative. 

Anyone else purchase game 7 tickets through Astros.com and still waiting on the refund?

 

fuckers better not have been involved with FTX.

It’s cute that the Mariners think they have a chance. And seems like an odd move for Toronto who are, at worst, co-favorites to win the AL East

Most WS gear is 50% off:

 

Oh man, Thanks for the heads up

they completely f’ed up their discounts in 2017 and ended up getting tons of stuff for basically free.

hopefully it’s just as good this time

IIRC, they had jerseys on a steep discount in 2017. They didn't do that this time, but almost any WS gear you want is 50% off. I missed out on the WS locker room hoodie, but got several shirts and other stuff. I just wish I knew this was coming before I placed a couple of orders from Fanatics.

Traded 1 year for 3 years and got a prospect out of it. Middle relievers are going to kill it in this market, so getting one that has 3 years of team control seems like a good trade-off considering the Blue Jays are rich in right-handed OFs.

 

I would love for the Astros to get Haniger on a 1 year prove it deal.

Congrats to them, I know their defense kept them in it against the Astros.

That's hilarious.  The majority of their starting 9 are below average defensively for their positions.

Makes sense, their defense was offensive in the ALCS

Those ratings really need to be adjusted to give less weight to dumping Gary Sanchez

It’s a consistent theme in the awards this year. Did Showalter win in NY because he’s a better manager than Snitker? Obviously not, the Braves won the fucking division. He won because what preceded him has been such a shitshow that he looks like a genius in comparison. Not how it’s supposed to work.
