Some personal news to share: June 12 will be my last night on FOX 26 News at Nine. I’m retiring after 37 years on the job (43 in Houston). Growing up in my hometown of Hempstead I dreamed of being a sportscaster on television in Houston. FOX 26 helped make that dream…”

Huge loss for Houston sports fans

Who's going to to be the new go to person for Houston teams releasing news?  If Berman broken a story, you new it was true.

Never going to play pro ball again

Dusty Baker said Michael Brantley has inflammation in his surgically repaired shoulder and the Astros are shutting him down for an indefinite period.

I’d rather it be Maldonado… 

I’d rather have been wrong and Brantley awesome then oh so obviously right with that being such an absurdly ridiculous and easily foreseeable stupid deal.

The cap to one of the worst off seasons ever. GM….we don’t need no stinkin GM. It’s not even the moves they made, which 2 out of 3 were arguably bad from the jump. It’s the moves that weren’t made to shore up the OF, C and pitching insurance. It’s an uphill climb from here. We are about to see what kind of wizard Dana Brown is and his bag of tricks.

I'm sure if his last career ABs were with an Astros AAA affiliate, he would have preferred if they were as a Zamunda Lion

My podcast co-host andrew is yelling at the computer saying- see- this is my point. No GM!  That was his biggest hate in our love/hate podcast. 
 

I can’t talk about how cruel it is to have an off day and then a rain out. Terrible.

What pitching move or moves would you have made?

Altuve warning track to straight center. Curiously, he wore no padding of any kind on his arms or legs. Doesn’t he usually wear an elbow/upper arm pad and shin guard?

I’d have let Montero go and gotten rid of Maton and then signed Manaea or Rodon. Both of those would have been terrible. 

#5529

If it helps anyone’s peace of mind pretty much every free agent that was mentioned with the Astros save for Rizzo and Nimmo have been absolute garbage.

And people laughed when I said this was the likely end a week ago.

I’m afraid I don’t have time to really study it or devise plans to that degree but the one thing I think I would have done is try to create a package that included Stanek to get one of Arizonas outfielders when they openly were looking for bullpen help. He was never going to duplicate last years stats so you are trying to sell high and he’s down the pecking order in our pen so barring a ton of injuries he could be replaced and or not really missed. But standing pat depending on everyone to stay healthy and/or duplicate one off seasons is asking for disappointment. Should always be trying to build depth and from my limited view we didn’t try. I do realize saying to deal Stanek seems counterintuitive to what I was saying about depth but the return would have been significantly greater with an everyday player. Oh and my other reason for dealing Stanek is he is a free agent after this year. He’s probably gone anyway.

He hasn't been gone that long lol. He does not wear shin guards. Typically one elbow pad, but he has went without it too before like he did in the WBC
#5533

No starting pitcher worth a shit was coming to Houston to be the 7th starter. Hopefully, this offseason serves as a lesson learned, no signing guys over 35 coming off of serious injury or a serious drop in production.

#5534

Bellinger or Yoshida would have been interesting pieces for the outfield with very different fees.

I was definitely interested in Yoshida. I haven’t looked how he’s doing so far. Houston just doesn’t seem to be on the radar for the Japanese players.

He's killing it. 136 OPS+ so far.

Whatever he is doing is better than Brantley

Brantley has been more valuable to the Astros at 0.0 WAR than maldy, Abreu, Hensley, that shithead infielder that’s terrible and maybe one or two other guys. Lot of below replacement level guys so far on the team. 

#5544
There will be baseball at Guaranteed Rate Field tonight. They are removing the tarp and the rain has stopped. Estimated first pitch 9:20 p.m. CT

 

#5545
After the White Sox's video tribute to him, which ended with "Thank you MVPito" on the video board, Jose Abreu ran up the dugout steps, punched the air and then immediately raced back into the clubhouse. A very brief celebration.


3 hr game incoming

He had a terrible start and has batted I believe over .400 since.
