For the first time since the sojourns of La Salle, tomorrow we need a headline that reads, "France Takes Texas."

No Yordan. Same lineup with Julks in Meyers out. 
Crane bet the under on total wins to pay for that house he tore down

Wish I’d have known that before I bet the over.

We have to have the worst medical staff in all of MLB.

Not only that, you will seemingly never get a straight or fully true answer out of the coaching staff/front office.  It's always half-truths or hemming and hawing.  It's infuriating.

We need a rule change about breaking the plane of the base, with the base extending infinitely in the vertical direction, especially at home plate.  Looking for that fraction of a second where an otherwise safe runner briefly loses contact with the bag is maddening and not in keeping with the spirit of the game.  You beat the ball or the tag to the bag, you're safe.  

Nope.

you don’t touch the base or you lose contact with it and the tag is still on you, you’re out. I don’t care if the ball beat you there by 30 feet. This isn’t a strike zone where there is judgement involved. It’s either you were tagged without /before touching the base and you’re out or you’re  not. 

my beef has always been with the fielder who has to slap the runner and immediately show his glove to the ump.

the ball hasn’t gone anywhere. The ump doesn’t need to see you holding up a ball inside your glove….meanwhile the runner popped off the bag and you could have tagged him out. Keep the glove on the runner until time is called . Idk why that isn’t drilled in to every infielder

Yordan Alvarez declined an interview request for a second day in a row. He did hit in the batting cage, according to a team spokesman.

How the fuck does he play 3 games and then can't play the next 2 days in games that actually matter?

Tucker might as well sit out tonight to so there's no chance of him getting hurt too.

Jose Altuve just hit on the field and said “I’m ready.” He said he doesn’t want a rehab assignment, saying “straight to games” is his preference, though he said it’s Dusty’s call. “I’m ready to play now,” he said.

They are all ready to play now but thanks to Michael Brantley we are in full paranoid bubble boy pussification mode it looks like

Altuve has been saying the same thing since the day after he tweaked his oblique on July 4th. Biggest roadblock is the Astros staff

So infuriating. I don't know what makes me rage more- Dusty and his managerial decisions, the training staff and their "pussy ass bubble boy bullshit" or whatever Scraps said, the flat out untruth coming from the FO about players health (or Dusty claiming Hippa bullshit when it's clearly not) or the existence of Maldonado on this team taking away games catching from Diaz.

That's just a joke- the answer is maldy on what makes me rage the most. It's always Maldy.

Dana Brown on payroll flexibility at the deadline: “We have some space. We definitely have space to add and next year there's even a little bit more space. But I'm not sure if we're going to be acquiring that type of a player that’s going to require to eat up a lot of our budget”

Put your fantasies to bed boys. Look at the waiver wire. It’s the Dana way.

I don't know man, I think it's actually the Jim Crane way.  He's never paid the tax. He's usually (and this is smack dab in the middle of WS contention runs) at least 20M from the tax line.  This is the 3rd different GM since this all started.  Only common point is Crane.  

#15079

Lol. A few weeks ago they all talk a big game and now we’re close to the deadline and it’s “we’re not adding anything big”. I was really hoping for cease and roberts.

In my head, he declined the request by saying fuck you to Chandler Rome.

Dusty's insistence on playing Maldanodo reeks of Mack Brown and his insistance on Greg Davis. Thats why I hate it so much. 

Funny.

I was just going to make a Mack Brown comparison to Dana Brown and the “winning too much is bad for you” mentality that they both clearly share

Yep. Without a doubt. Never be confused with the Yankees. He’s got a house to build. Can’t be buying everyone World Series rings again for at least a few more years. Gonna chew all the sweet out of ‘22 first. 
 

But seriously there are some relievers for sure that can had within budget and probably a decent bench bat. I have no interest in going into the playoffs with a bench with Madris, Hensley, Meyers or Kessinger anywhere on it. I said weeks ago Lorenzen or Kyle Hendricks would be our pay threshold this year for starters. All this Cease, Roberts, Verlander talk was Twitter cheerleader nonsense. We have Chazzy Fizz. We good.

I mean you might as well go to Biggios if you want to stay on that side of 59. Pretty slim pickings though.

We’re just now figuring out Crane is cheap? 

#15090

The fact that yall are believing anything Brown says is funny to me.

He literally says shit that isn't correct all the time. I fully expect us to get Verlander now

They’re usually pretty freaking packed right?

I’m thinking there or Cobo’s.

#15092

During the game i doubt anything will be packed. Cobos will probably be pretty dead but its a cool spot... you can always walk to Woodrows or Pitch 25 from there too

I’ve been saying not for years. I get shouted down with “he’s the best owner in houston history”. Both statements can be true.

We’ll see Yordan in August and Altuve in September. Our med staff is hard at work to get these guys healthy as fast as their high school educated selves can 

I've got it marked on my calendar—August 2024 and September 2026!

Judge took at bats in a simulated game at the spring training complex today.  He's going to come back before Yordan and Altuve isn't he?
