Wow. Didn't see JJ getting DFA'd:

Maybe a positive sign for Altuve's recovery?

Edited by Seasick Sailor

I don't know, he's never really done much that would say he's going to be useful at some point.

Huh, interesting. No huge loss though. I guess they are very comfortable in Diaz as the backup 1B. 

Matijevic had potential as a lefty power bat.  But being limited defensively and striking out a lot makes it hard to hold on to a roster spot in your late 20s.

I was pretty certain that Altuve would be put on the 60 IL day to open up a 40 man spot. Brown is a little different than what we’re used to.

If I were the A's I'd sign him and give him 500 AB's to see one way or another.  I mean- maybe they have more interesting reclamation projects but he seems like he could be a Matt Stairs type of guy if everything broke right for him for 3-5 years.  Be the LHB portion of a platoon in a corner OF or 1B/DH situation.  

I mean- Matt Stairs had a 19 year career so he won't be that guy- but maybe he could replicate the middle part of his career.  What else do the A's have to do but try shit like that out...

Or maybe he's just out of organized baseball.

And he'll probably hit .400 against us.

No doubt.  I wish we would have given him 200 AB's at 1b last year just to see if there might be something there. 

Settling in for a long season, killing time until the Astros pregame.

 

Cole  just walked the 1st batter on 4 pitches.

If we were to ever add a slogan to our season thread, I whole heartedly support the AI.

wait what???? 15-day IL? am I mistaken or is that a new thing again? I thought there was just the 10-day IL and 60-day IL....

I think the 15-day IL is for pitchers only. I'm pretty sure they created it to prevent teams from gaming the system by placing pitchers on the 10-day and being able to have them miss only one start.

Bad news for JV:

 

Kudos to you if, after 2019, you had Grienke as a 2023 opening day starter over JV 

I want to face off against the Yankees in the ALCS, then take on Verlander and the Mets in World Series.
Silence New York for at least a week or two.

ZG's last game of 2019 was pretty strong

Yeah, I picked a bad point in time.

but by the time the opening week of the 2020 season was over (JV TJ) Grienke was the safer bet…

 

 

Fun Fact: the Teres Major is also a cut of beef that is gaining in popularity.  It's like a miniature tenderloin.

Well [mention=134]Ldogg53[/mention] is out for work stuff. [mention=228]Scraps[/mention] [mention=537]Jshep34[/mention] [mention=1288]tx 3 putt[/mention] [mention=136]Slacks[/mention] et al.. we doing the usual?
We will be heading out to mmp around 400.

Game coming on right when my flight home from Boston takes off. 

LFG ‘Stros!!!

Dusty starting off day 1 pissing me off

Fucking dying at Dusty (correctly) determining Chas > Meyers is the way to go for an entire playoff run, but not for Opening Day.  Dude just loves to stir the pot.

So the Astros game tonight is on ESPN, which is great. But for any future games, how does a Houston resident watch them if ATT Sportsnet is dead/dying?

Is there any explanation other than Dusty being Dusty as to why Meyers is playing over Chas?

 

Brown's is gonna have to trade or DFA Meyers.

Nope just straight unbridled hatred for his undying stupidity
