I know they are only starting the process of bringing in candidates for these bench and GM/scouting openings, but it’ll be interesting to see if they promote from within and/or which orgs do they hire from (in other words, a lot of comfort hire Atlanta guys might be nothing, might be a red flag). I think there’s been some atrophy in scouting and coaching so new blood (outside hire) here would be preferable, imo.
November 1Nov 1 Sounds like we are cleaning out the organization of guys that have probably gotten too comfortable. Hopefully this is accountability, but I also don't trust Crane and his cabal of HOFs that know shit about fuck running a MLB organization.

November 1Nov 1 If Bagwell could make his stance and swing work, he can probably help anyone. He could be a good coach as long as all authority ends when he’s not in a dugout.

November 3Nov 3 Author 2025 Gold Glover, he stepped up huge last year, all over the field ... Utility: Mauricio Dubón, Astros Dubón was the quintessential utility player for Houston in 2025, appearing at seven positions during the season -- left field (48 games), second base (46), shortstop (33), third base (24), center field (17), first base (four) and right field (three). Overall, he finished sixth in MLB with +20 OAA from all positions combined.

We only had a 3 hour example of it 6 days previously. bichette was banged up IKF was on 3rd, didn't take much of a lead (3rd baseman was off the bag). didn't move up as the pitcher committed to throwing a pitch, and fucking slid feet first vs running through or diving in head first into the home plate. he looked like a surly poster on 3rd. if he takes a bigger lead after the ball was released, he scores and game over epic base running fail
November 3Nov 3 Author trade him !!! 36. Christian Walker, 1B, Astros | $40MM through 2027 Speaking of Walker, it seems there’s a good chance Houston will try to take a mulligan on this contract in the offseason. The Astros reacquired Carlos Correa at the trade deadline and will install him as their everyday third baseman. That pushes Isaac Paredes off his position. Paredes has some experience at second base but is a better fit at first base. Plus, Houston has to decide where Jose Altuve will play. After saying he’d play left field primarily in 2025, Altuve struggled enough on the grass that he split his time pretty evenly between his new position and his traditional spot at second base. One could argue that the move here is to trade Paredes, not Walker. He’d fetch a return of some note, whereas the Astros would need to pay down some of Walker’s salary after he turned in a .238/.297/.421 batting line. Walker popped 27 homers, but his overall production was about average on a rate basis, thanks largely to that meager .297 on-base percentage. And, after years of ranking as one of the best defensive first basemen in all of MLB, his defensive grades plummeted in his new surroundings. There’s no easy way to alleviate this logjam of pricey players, but eating some of Walker’s contract and finding a new home for him would be the best path toward fielding a complete roster in 2026. Walker may very well bounce back — he hit .264/.318/.489 (123 wRC+) in his final 305 plate appearances — but Paredes is younger, more affordable and offers more reliable offense.

Man my son is a senior and the way time has flown by I’ve been an emotional wreck this year. He plays basketball at a 6a school and should start, has a few division 3 offers and is hoping to have a big senior season and get some higher offers. You’re entering the timeframe where it feels like 13 turns into 17 in a blink of an eye. Time sucks. Enjoy it and pour into him everything you’ve got and support his dreams and help him meet every goal. It’s worth it. Good looking young man! Great job dad.

MLB well on the way to becoming the Premier league The Dodgers winning back to back is breaking people's brains. They have been outspending the rest of the league for going on a decade now and until October 2024 were mocked for only having the rona WS win to show for it. Now, Freddie and Mookie are on the downhill and even Shohei will be out of his peak in another few years. The Mets also seem willing to spend as much if not more. It will be ok.
