    Two Diamond Club tickets available for the Sunday night game.  Free.  Need to pick them up from me in 77027. Rules: Poster must be a big contributor to this thread/last years shag thread.  No gue

For anyone that hasn’t read Astroball, Rieter focuses a ton on the constant give and take the FO has had to deal with re: where analytics intersect with gut feel.
I’m sure this deal took that one to a whole new level.

I posted this up thread but for those in Austin, Reiter is speaking/ signing at Bookpeople at 7 tonight. Would be interested to hear his insight on today’s news.

I, for one, am all for the new wife beater. He can play baseball. Just quit hitting chicks

Wonder if they have another move coming involving trading away someone in the BP like Sipp or Smith. 

Devo about to get the tired arm for a couple of weeks

Hate the move. Shocked we are getting this guy.... seems completely out of place on this team

Really hope they talked to the guys in the clubhouse about this one. Has a real chance to blow up otherwise. 

I'm all for second chances, people fuck up but man this doesn't feel right from a clubhouse perspective

How'd the Cubs and Yankees manage to pull it off?  Seems like their clubhouses have adapted relatively seamlessly. I really don't give a shit as long as the team itself is ok with it.

Federowicz declined assignment to become free agent.


Well bye

Can he hit too?

Didn't you see the video? Darn right he can. 

Seriously, I'm never in favor of adding a scumbag to my team. I've been an Astros fan for a very long time, but I'm not THAT invested in the outcome of the games. There are  some good relievers who aren't assaulting chicks in stairwells, so I'd rather we got one of them.

That video was of the Astro pitcher who got immediately released

Well, my mistake for confusing one guy with the other. Mea culpa.  

Giles sucked so bad we shipped him out of the country. good

Maybe he can get together with Kawhi up there.

I'll have to form a opinion on this trade after the world series

So...

We kicked a dude out for hitting his girl.  And we signed another dude after hitting his girl, because everyone deserves a second chance.

It would be easy to accuse the front office of punishing the shitty players and looking the other way on the good ones.  The old Bob Stoops Special.

I don't like this at all.

Well, all of management including Hinch are on board, so they must think is worth the gamble.

If the guy could hit .400 with RISP, that would help way more. I mean, for that one inning a game we now have RISP.

He got fatter.

He was the A.J. Reed of the Mexican league or maybe Japhet was the Mehican league version of A.J. Reed.

He has nasty stuff. More ways than one.

Yuli at 2nd again. Davis at 3rd. Sigh.

He wants to prove that he's not panicking.

He was a much better manager last year and its called ego.

Big difference between Osuna and stairwell dude is video.

 

Osuna hasn't even been proven guilty. Mlb suspended based on chicks word.

 

We all know chicks never lie.

 

Until video surfaces, or dude is actually found guilty/no contest, then i give zero fucks.

 

Not saying he ultimately won't be found guilty, but nowadays if you are charged with something then you are automatically guilty regardless.

 

No one is gonna care when he saves the last game of the world series.

 

 

altuve signed off (per correa).  he is the spokesman.

if he says it's good, then it has to be.

obviously he needs a change of scenery, so hopefully this works out for him, us, and giles.

They might be dropping the charges on Wednesday.

I guess we'll find out.

Pretty steep

No.

Hector Perez-Great arm with control issues.
David Paulino-Good talent that has had medical issue.
Kenneth-Great arm-No brains. He was done here.
 

If Osuna can keep his nose clean, it might be steep for Toronto. 

The main thing is that we didn't give up any of our top tier arms on the farm.

Good trade that I hope becomes a great one.

JV seemed pretty measured, but not too excited with the potential baggage Osuna brings with him.

He didn't back down off of his comments on previous DV issues either.  Stud.

I think its a great baseball move, concerned about it from a Club Astros perspective though.

if he wasn't currently suspended, he would be one of the top guys on the market.  he's got great stuff and 2 more years of team control.  he had a pretty sick season last year (83/9 k/bb).  guess we'll see.

It seems like Osuna is expressing a lot of gratitude to the Astros for giving him this chance and wants to prove that he is worth the risk.  Screw it.  I'm in for one more chance.  

Still need a couple of bats, but this wasn't a banner day for the organization.

Hmmm... OK team, now go get some hits please.

Only 23 years old. I’d love to give the front office the benefit of the doubt here. They know more than we do. At least I hope they do.

Optics aren’t ideal that’s for sure. Not sure how many other teams could have done it at all. Not too many Giles type chips out there.

I don't like the trade at all.

Hope the bats wake up starting tonight
