Yo hypothetically when its time for Correa's extension, what if we have to choose between keeping Correa and losing Alvarez or letting Correa walk and keeping Alvarez. I would be torn they both have great potential but I want to see how Alvarez's health holds up over a couple of full seasons. We have a lot of star players to pay coming up and I don't know if we can keep em all.

That really shouldn’t be an issue. They are on such different time frames.  

Carlos who?

Hinch and the vets have done a great job of keeping this clubhouse loose during these trying times

Your version of trying times is very different from mine. Yes there have been injuries, but I would only consider it trying if there is like a 4 loss streak.

Encanarcion traded to the Yankees. They’re going to try and win every game 12-10

I was thinking the same thing earlier this week when Berkman was doing one of the games.

Biggio would do play by play because he would take the whole thing seriously and his Type A personality would kick in.

Berkman would be the goofy color commentator with lots of stories.

Bagwell would sit back and rag on both of them the whole time.

At some point good pitching will figure out alvarez weak spots. In the meantime I’m enjoying him crushing the hell out of mistakes. He is dialed in right now

Opposing pitchers already know the weak spot but it's not easy to bust him with hard stuff inside and hit the high corner. His plate discipline is too good, which is why I expect him to generate a ton of walks in this lineup when he's not crushing bombs. 

Starting pitchers normally throw on their second or third off day in between starts. 

I wonder if it is possible for Alvarez to get some batting practice from Verlander and Cole?

No .....

Sorry boys, chuy had a day torment in Waller, just wanted to say...

#HTownPride 

Altuve with today and Sunday off in Round Rock. Same for McHugh.. Nice to have call ups producing. 

That bottom of the order is not ideal.

7 through 9:

4 doubles, 4 runs, 4 RBI

Considering Framber started in AAA this year, it’s not unreasonable to say a AAA team beat the Blue Jays today.

 

And tomorrow, they get to face their old teammate. I know Trent would much rather be where he is now than blocked in Round Rock, but I can’t imagine he’s all that thrilled about tomorrow

 

 

we need to sweep tomorrow. With Altuve and McHugh coming back (this road trip?), it’ll be the last home game for a couple of the guys. 

blah

I'm going senile

Im somewhat worried about McHugh. He’s a huge part of a dominating bp for us

He needs to accept that he’s not a starter for the Stros and go kick ass in the bullpen.

As a starter I’m tired of seeing him pitch really really well except for that one blow up inning that puts the team in a big hole.

Also, I’m not sold on madbum. Declining numbers and potential locker room issues

in the end, I’ll trust the hinch / strom / lunhow evaluation of him

I guess it depends on what you have to pay. Assuming that neither Whitley nor Tucker are included (and they wouldn't be), Bumgarner seems like an addition that would help. His K and BB numbers are in line with his career norms, as is his velocity. His HR/FB is up this year, along with pretty much everyone else. He seems OK to me. 

Our recent call ups have raised the trade value of an Astros minor leaguer, imo

Max or Grienke is who I want, but Grienke would probably be tough

Alvarez up to the 3 hole today....soon we will be wasting his power at leadoff

I mean yeah, Scherzer is the best pitcher in MLB, and you'd have him for the next two seasons too. But (a) I doubt Washington will trade him, and (b) he'd cost a shitload. 

 

Blue jays made him pay on those two off location pitches

Lunhow said Altuve will be the first one back. Late in the cincy series or vs the Yankees 

mchugh will most likely get two more AAA outings
