We’re just being thrown an onslaught of AAAA players right now. Dubon, Julks, France, Bielak, Gage, Martinez. Guys on this thread have been touting Julks and calling me out about it. L!O!L!  Dude has one walk in a fifth of a major league season. Holy shit.

Supplemental 1st-rder Kendall George signs w/@Dodgers for $1.85 million (pick 36 value = $2,362,700). Texas HS OF, one of fastest players in @MLBDraft, some scouts joke he has 90 speed on 20-80 scale, contact approach, aggressive on bases & in CF. Arkansas recruit. @MLBDraft

IF the Astros went underslot like they did end up doing I was hoping for this OFer (I know that's our deepest position in the farm system).

You may run like Mays, but you hit like shit*

 

* have no idea what his slash line might be, but it IS conspicuously absent.

It can't be said enough.. You have to win ALL the games against Oakland if you want to stay in this race, especially considering the remaining schedule.

I get frustrated with many of the alleged 'injuries' in baseball.

Come the fuck on.

100 percent. Next 20 games are going to be a struggle if we don’t have some help

The best I could find is he hit .445 with an ops of 1.296 and 32 stolen bases his senior year. Interestingly Perfect Game had our round 11 draft pick Ochoa as the #1 outfielder in Texas and George #2. Ochoa also signed for $300k instead of the $150k I posted earlier from the Spanish speaking Twitter account.

Guarantee that we lose at least one of the next three... and it won't be the end of the season.  4-2 since the ASB and Tuve and Yordan are back soon.  Don't panic.

I am as happy as anyone that the Stros are 11 games above .500. You attempting to mock a post for ... (checks notes) ... two guys with an OPS hovering around .700 after being hot, two guys with FIPs above 5, one dude that isn't on the roster any longer and JP France, a nice surprise but a 28 year old rookie, is certainly an interesting approach. 

This team still has guys like Hensley and some dude named Bligh on it. Maldonado is absolutely worthless and gets regular playing time for his fat ass. The back of the staff and bullpen are both tenuous. So, yeah, we need Dubon and Julks to keep playing above league average for the rest of the year and for Bielak and France to keep sacrificing live chickens to Jobu all year long. If they don't, and Maldonado's worthless, negative WAR ass keeps getting PT while the key guys can't stay healthy, none of us are laughing.

Zero point zero.

Not even sure what STL is doing. They signed him because they were gonna end up trading cabrera and then boot him 2 or 3 days after signing him lol. But I am no GM so the fuck do I know

First only Bielak has a FIP above 5 out of those pitchers. Second you claim victory when Julks starts out cold with his first MLB action in April but when he rights the ship and starts doing well it's an "interesting approach" for me to celebrate it. That's hypocrisy if I've ever seen it.

Julks has an OPS of .706. How is that righting a ship? That's floating aimlessly and listing to the side. That's what you're trying to turn into a thing. Good luck with it.

"Corey Julks is making a fool out of you, buddy!!! He's within 25 points of the league average OPS, motherfucker!!!!?! Hahahahaha. Jokes on you! Now I am going to quote the post you made 2 months and summon you back to this thread to make sure you know the magic of this man's performance!!?"

Julks is putting up worse numbers than Luke Scott, Daryle Ward, and Jason Lane during their juggernaut rookie seasons. If Brantley were healthy, or if the OF hadn't been mismanaged in the offseason, Corey Julks would be where he should be right now, in Sugarland, preparing to do the baseball version of Kramer in the kids' dojo to the Albuquerque Isotopes.

I don't know why I thought Gage or Martinez had FIPs over 5. My bad on that one. They both are just basically 4A players, so no need to further besmirch their mediocrity.

I honestly think that Baker puts Hensley in the lineup simply to make Maldonado's numbers look reasonable. Dude has only played in 29 games and still amassed a negative WAR trending towards -1. I'd like to see him play everyday just to see how far down he could take it. What is the lowest WAR ever posted in a single season? 

#14135

Got to fucking hand it to that mental midget Dusty. He managed to find a way to form a lineup with 3 hitters above league average. Good job you fucking moron.

(Not sure league leader)

This is just crazy to me. We could not get the guy out at the beginning of the year. I know he’s had a couple injuries he’s been playing through. If any guy needs a change of scenery it’s probably him.

He just had a terrible May. His OBP has seen an improvement every month if you swap May and April.

I know BA isn't that important, etc., but I'm looking at the lineups, and I'm saying, holy crap, the As lineup sucks.

 

191, 196, 204, 208, 212, 213, 217...what shit

 

Then I look at our 8 and 9, 125 and 168

 

Terrific

The Yankees just fired a batting coach that wasn’t a BA guy. He just wanted them to hit balls hard 

everyone of our guys know their BA , RBI’s and HR’s
