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

Everything Dana Brown Said today, we might not lose a game for the next 6 years !

Interesting comments from Brown on the give and take between him and Crane. 

 

Are the Astros the first MLB team to announce on-uniform sponsorship?

Re: Milwaukee, SIAP but checking out the Harley museum might be kinda cool for Lil Shep.

Check out the Milwaukee Public Market

I gotta disagree with 3Putt on the stadium 

this summarizes my feeling on it (and selig)

Don't think brewers will be playing when we go. I looked into tours and they offer one called the Selig tour

In addition to the ballpark, you get exclusive access to a special area worthy of the former Commissioner.

I’m not going to say I’d suck it, but I might hold it in my mouth until the swelling goes down.

You’ve seen shitters before…

Loving the f selig energy on this page.

I'd never set foot in the usurpers' stadium until we're back in the NL!

Not even counting Framber... or that other guy from Cuba.

Not sure if this increases, decreases or has no effect on the likelihood of Tucker doing an extension. Maybe he decides his long term demands aren’t realistic. On the other hand, maybe he’s pissed off. Or maybe it doesn’t make a shit. 

 

Probably doesn’t make a shit. I’m sure he/his agent have an idea of what it would take from a years/dollar perspective, regardless of the arb result.

Based on my understanding of what Brown has been saying, money has not been the issue, the number of years that Crane is comfortable offering has been. If you offer Tucker an eight-year deal, I bet he takes it.

If the arbitration thing makes a difference he was never signing again anyway.  Players know this is the system, it's one they negotiated.  It just is what it is.  

Frankly I hate the system because it pits you against your own players in trying to downplay them.  But at this point it's almost 50 years of "is what it is".  

The gap is big, but I also think it was somewhat intentional to get him to sign a better long term deal.  It may have backfired, and now that the Astros won, maybe not because it could be more incentive to just get it over with and sign a long term deal and get that money back

It's been a few years, so i may be mistaken, but I think Bregman lost his arbitration case right before signing his extension. Put me in the it-don't-make-a-shit camp.

It was the year before arbitration and the Astros were going to pay like $640k for that last year (which Breggy didn't like).

then they signed him to the bigger deal: https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/astros-third-baseman-alex-bregman-have-reportedly-agreed-on-a-six-year-100-million-contract/

I'd assume we'll see the same with Tucker. If he signs a long term deal it's year over year will be much higher than what he's getting this year.

They can always add on to it.  I like his future a whole lot, but I'm not ready to lock him for 10 years just yet.

Maybe I’m Richie rich, but that doesn’t seem like a hard hit to the pocket book. Every mlb would take that deal for Javier

Should be a cy young contender all 5 years

I said we should offer Javier 5/50 a couple different times. 64M is sort of a big number considering he’s got 3 years of arbitration left and the baseline he’s starting at is 3M. That essentially means his arb is going to cost about 20M, so they gave him 2/44 sight unseen. 
That’s a pretty fair deal both ways. I love it. If Brown is as good as I think he will be then that keeps the competitive window open through 27. 
I think I’m going to love the new GM. 
Good for a Javier too. He locks up generational wealth and is still a FA before 30. 

probably backloaded the shit out of that deal like we did with Alvarez. He was only seeking $3.5 million in arbitration so this was probably an easier deal to make.

Tucker will be more difficult since he wants more years - but he's even better at his position.

nice signing bonus to sweeten the deal for this year.

Astros are expecting him to have a big season. Lock him down now 

Nice deal, very Atlanta-esque. Lock up young talent for years to come, and spread the cap hits among many years to provide more flexibility. Let's hope Tucker and Valdez are up next.

Just came to post that I can’t wait to hear the boos at Javier at the start of the game  the next time he steps foot in yankee stadium…. And the boos toward judge near the end of the game after his 4th K

We had to lock him up before he hit FA and the Yankees could drive up the price!

I am engorged over the Javier news.  He has the potential to supplant the Verlander as my third favorite Astros pitcher of all time behind Nolan and J.R.

"The deal is for $64M per"

I'd pay it per year.  Well not really, but I always get a kick out of the tweets chop it off there with just the source's twitter handle on the next line.  Same thing happened with Yordan's extension... $150MM per year?  Fucking worth it.

Not optimistic about an extension for Tuck, but let’s get Framber done now.
