July 4, 20196 yr Winning... is something i very much enjoy more than losing.Nice two game sweep.Get home and roll the Angels
July 4, 20196 yr it'll be weird being off on the 4th but i'll take the day off before the last series before the all star break
July 4, 20196 yr The 35th round draft pick I posted about not too long ago that had a lower bonus demand for the Astros and a couple other teams signed yesterday. Also, 2018 11th rounder Conine is on a roll. Lastly, Joe Smith is getting ready to shore up the Stros bullpen.
July 4, 20196 yr Smith pitched another inning tonight as well. (Tweet above was from Tuesday’s game) Finally gave up a hit (1 in 5 innings overall) but had two K’s tonight. Is there really a reason to wait until after the All Star break to re-activate him? I guess numbers aren’t everything and maybe there are mechanical items he can continue to fine tune, but seems he is ready. Round Rock has their break the same time as Houston. If they don’t activate him before the ASB, guessing they’ll assign him to Corpus for a last appearance or two before the Rangers series that starts Thursday in Arlington... Corpus plays in Frisco Mon-Wed next week.

July 4, 20196 yr i am looking forward to smith coming back. if he's right, it would be really nice having rondon, mchugh, smith, and harris battling to be the 7th inning guy. if we trade for a sp3, you can add peacock to that list. yessir.
July 4, 20196 yr The Astros have an 8 game lead in the AL West by way of the A's losing in extra innings to the Twins. It is the second biggest lead in a division behind the Dodgers 14 game lead.
July 4, 20196 yr I'm officially pissed that there isn't a nationally televised Astros win today. Guess I'll have to wait til Saturday night.

July 4, 20196 yr Altuve might be making the All Star team. Brandon Lowe, who replaced Tommy LaStella, was put on the IL by TB.

July 4, 20196 yr Gleyber Torres was selected instead of AltuveWell deserved. He’s having a great year.

July 5, 20196 yr This article thinks that Aaron Sanchez of Toronto has an Astros buy low feel to it. https://www.mlb.com/news/under-the-radar-trade-candidates-to-watch-this-july
July 5, 20196 yr Interesting, but Sanchez's ERA concerns me less than his BB rate. He's walking almost 13% of the hitters he's faced this year (~5.5 per 9 innings). In 2016, his only particularly good season, it was 8%. He's been at or above 12% ever since. That said, the club obviously understands his game/tendencies/issues/upside a lot better than I do from looking at his numbers - so if they buy low on him, I'd be intrigued. It feels more like an offseason move than a midseason one though.

Yeah, the would probably have to change more than his pitch mix, which would take an off-season to accomplish, not something you do during a pennant chase. There are better options out there, that come with higher price, but at the same time the Astros are trying to win a World Series, anything else should be considered a failure.
July 5, 20196 yr Looks like Bregman has a girlfriend that is Allstar Game MVP caliber. Reagan Howard. Lives in Austin. Works at Google. Went to Aggie. I am old compared to most of you and not sure how to upload pictures. Google is your friend.
