    Pretty perfect game to take a three year old to. Was over before he got too bored and got to see a couple homers. Thanks @UTPhil2006 for the suggestion about the first game certificate, had plenty of

    I’m just glad I survived another season of being the official thread starter. Thank you all for your continued support in this emotional time.   In more ways than one with tonight’s result:

Thank you, Dodgers. 

They don't deserve the greatness of The Yord.

Espada when asked what he'd like to see Astros add at Trade Deadline: "My job is to manage this team. I really like the players we have and these guys are competing their asses off. I trust our front office to do what's best for our club."

We need 2 bats, a starter, and 2 relievers to be a serious WS contender. Since it now appears that McCullers and Garcia are not coming back at all this season, maybe a healthy and refreshed Verlander can have a cascading effect on the pitching staff.

I think Verlander, Brown, Framber, and Ronell is a good enough 4 in the playoffs. Arrighetti or Bloss can move into the bullpen, the other goes to AAA.

Bats should be 1B and CF.

We should trade for a new manager also

The Seattle Mariners have placed first baseman Ty France on outright waivers, sources tell ESPN. If he goes unclaimed, the 30-year-old can refuse an assignment to the minor leagues. Tyler Locklear will get full-time ABs at 1B. First on the scene was @RyanDivish.

If they need a new 1B, I know a guy who is tan, rested, and ready.

Sources: The Reds, swept by the Nats this weekend, are indicating to teams that they are willing to move players on expiring contracts. The Orioles are among the clubs with interest in their pitching, including Frankie Montas and Nick Martinez. @MLBNetwork

O’s have a lot to trade with

Since June 15th, Jon Singleton is batting .284 with an OPS of .747. During that time he has 2 homer and 9 RBI. That'll play at 1B

9 RBIs and 2 HRs from a postion needed to produce runs, what an idiotic statement.

Yeah 2hr 9rbi in a month plays when your other option was jose abreu

Vlady jr/Walker do that in like 7 days.

Will Wagner would at least hit closer to .300 and have a OB near .400.

Dana on Sirius about SP at deadline

"Try go to big and see if there’s a deal that makes sense for the organization,” Brown said of his efforts to add a starter. “If that don’t work, we’ll go down to mid-level and hopefully we can land something there. But it doesn’t hurt to ask. When you go through this, ask and thou shall receive sometimes. We want to try to go big, and if we can’t get the big thing done, we’ll try to go mid-level so we can get through this.”


Skubal and Crochet continue to be the names thrown around out there as "big"

It's time to give Leon his shot as the everyday CF. 

I'm not sure how many more days I can watch an outfield of Cabbage/Meyers/Loperfido (insert Chas for any of them on a given day). They may be fine defensively, but way too much swing and miss with that group. 

Tucker needs to rub some dirt on it and get back on the field sooner rather than later. Or if Tucker's "bruise" is still hurting then give Leon a chance.

You’re not wrong. Can’t speak for anyone else, but I have. Then she banned me for a couple days. 😉

The potential solution to your swing and miss blues is Pedro Leon? Our Pedro Leon?

Are they really going to try a platoon at first with Diaz? I don’t recall how he hit lefties but he hasn’t hit anything since he left Houston. I mean he did hit .333 in four games in Florida. It’s Abreu 2.0.

For his career, he’s been slightly worse against LHP than righties. So not great, Bob

I think Diaz may be on that 8 day plan.

Either do something in next 8 days or gtfo and make a trade.

Seems like penny pinching(thanks Abreu) wishing and hoping that he shows signs of life

If they aren’t going to, or are not able to, do a complete upgrade at first, I would look at a potentially cheap platoon upgrade like Mark Canha. He hits .288 with OPS over .800 against left handers. If they are content with Singleton against RH.
