July 23Jul 23 It is bizarre. The worse the lineup, the better. Arizona should thank us for letting them know they are sellers. Sell, Mortimer! Sell!
July 23Jul 23 I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the Diamondback bullpen for being consistently unclutch.
July 23Jul 23 None of our opponents (or a lot of fans) don’t know the guys we keep trotting out there, so there is no “book” on how to pitch to some of them yet like they do with the vets.

Yep, as much as we did to win, the Snakes definitely helped themselves lose. NOBLETIGER in the 9th last night taking the cake. They had numerous AB's with bases juiced this series and only scored 1 run total in those situations. Edited July 23Jul 23 by Storm the Field

July 23Jul 23 it is kinda odd that Marte and the Dbacks didn't really argue that last strike call. Maybe it was closer than it appeared on the telecast?
July 23Jul 23 God damn brewers If any of the teams ahead of us were gonna win, I’m glad it was the team playing Seattle.
July 23Jul 23 I think it's just a matter of a few games until the closest AL West team looking up at us is the fuckstick dbags in Arlington, who are only 4 behind us in run differential.

It's like all our opponents are the Longhorn defense and we keep throwing backup QBs out there.
July 23Jul 23 Was following at work but couldn't post. Very nice sweep, and back to a 6 game lead, which is what we had going into Seattle. Keep it going. Anything less than a 3-1 series win against the A's will be a fail.

At first I thought it was an obvious ball but I think there is something to your theory. That pitch looked waaaay outside on the box overlay but the tepid disagreement from Marte and the Dbacks dugout suggests it was closer than Hader is getting credit for. If it was that far outside and one of our hitters was the victim of said call, I'd expect a vigorous argument. But maybe Marte just realized it was an exercise in futility and was ready for the postgame buffet.
July 24Jul 24 5 hours ago, tx 3 putt said: 4 - 2 road trip. lulz Curious what the disparity is between the amount of payroll the Astros have on the IL right now and the Astros active roster. Heck for that matter, if the other 8 guys in the line up make half of what Altuve is getting paid (not complaining, just using as a point of reference).

Here's a breakdown of the highest-paid players on the injured list and their respective payroll amounts: Yordan Alvarez (DH): $15,833,333 Cristian Javier (SP): $10,400,000 Isaac Paredes (3B): $6,625,000 Jeremy Pena (SS): $4,100,000 Jake Meyers (CF): $2,300,000 Brendan Rodgers (2B): $2,000,000 Luis Garcia (SP): $1,875,000 These players are still counted against the team's payroll despite being on the injured list. The total adjusted payroll for players on the injured list is $48,708,222. The total active roster payroll is $136,302,400. Therefore, the players on the injured list represent approximately 35.7% of the active roster payroll. Edited July 24Jul 24 by Pablo its missing Lance's $17M

Who else is on that roster making much money because that is another $60M.

According to Spotrac here is the breakdown of Astros money: Active Roster - $118M+ Injured List - $67M+ Dead Money - ~$650K Retained Money - $34M+ Abreu, Montero, and Pressly make up most of that retained money.

July 24Jul 24 thought i heard on the radio pregame that the team only has $2mill to play with and stay under the cap

Yeah I initially reacted to the dot, too & thought we got the benefit of a really bad call. Then I went back & watched a couple more times & it also looked to me like the tracker was off to the outside while the ball looked like it caught the corner. First time I've ever noticed that happening.

July 24Jul 24 Just now, tx 3 putt said: diamondbacks didn't seem to have a huge issue Yeah nobody on the field seemed to be upset. Just the announcer, who was also probably just reacting to the tracker. At worst imho, it was a very close pitch. Too close to take wtih 2 strikes.
July 24Jul 24 Perspective on that lineup from yesterday. https://medium.com/@breathingorangefire_71114/who-are-these-guys-how-did-we-get-to-where-we-are-at-fa4111f19fad

July 24Jul 24 I can only assume Rosenthal is referring to my post. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6513618/2025/07/24/arizona-diamondbacks-mlb-trade-deadline-sellers/ Diamondbacks plan to be sellers at deadline, but extent is still not known: Sources By Ken Rosenthal The Arizona Diamondbacks are telling rival clubs they plan to trade at least some of their veterans. However, the extent to which the Diamondbacks will sell is not yet clear, according to league sources briefed on their plans. The number of deals Arizona completes before next Thursday’s trade deadline will hinge on a variety of factors, including the level of interest in their players, whether the proposals they receive for their qualifying-offer candidates exceed the potential draft-pick compensation and the assessment of club officials about the team’s ability to compete for the third wild-card spot. After getting swept at home by the injury-depleted Houston Astros, the Diamondbacks (50-53) sit 5 1/2 games behind the San Diego Padres (55-47), the team currently in the third position.
July 24Jul 24 Call me wacky, but the Astros are about to be overloaded with Starting pitching. How bout we trade one of those for that lefty hitting outfielder or even prospects?
