September 28Sep 28 A fucking hit batter with the bases loaded just knocked us out of the playoffsNot even close. We knocked ourselves out
September 28Sep 28 Exactly what we deserved after the turd we laid in September. Big decisions loom. Most likely none of those decisions will be made.

September 28Sep 28 8 years in a row of playoffs, 4 pennants, 2 rings, nothing to be ashamed of there. Some teams will go your whole lifetime without accomplishing half of that. Retool in the offseason and get healthy, and this team will be back on top next year.

September 28Sep 28 Rest assured, we're in good hands with Bagwell around to make decisions. So we got that going for us

September 28Sep 28 8 straight years in the playoffs was a good run. Let's hope we're not looking at another 86-97 or 05-15 drought. No reason it should be with the modern diluted playoffs.

September 28Sep 28 Just now, Mo Horn said: Hopefully he and Smith can form solid OF corners for years to come Corners? Cole is the CF moving forward. The OF next year should be Alvarez, Cole, and Smith. Then you have Meyers and Santana in their true roles as defensive replacements and part time players. Pena(SS), Alvarez(LF), Paredes(2B), Correa(3B), Cole(CF). Altuve(DH), Walker(1B), Diaz(C), Smith(RF) should be your starting lineup and if healthy that lineup should play 90% of the games. Now if you want to dump Walker and move Paredes to 1B and go get another 2B, preferably one that bats LH, that would work as well.

That's the ticket.
September 28Sep 28 Is Urias more terrible than I think? Why is he not more of a viable option at 2B next year?

I think we did pretty well with that trade. The problem is letting our good players leave for nothing, and fucking ourselves by signing over the hill QO guys which would cancel out our compensation from losing our good players. 7 minutes ago, Mez2 said: Is Urias more terrible than I think?
