A week ago I would have answered differently but I am increasingly pessimistic we make any trade to address the starting rotation. If there's any room to criticize our front office, it's probably ego and self-assurance getting in the way of potential trades involving our highest-ranked prospects. 

I don't think Luhnow's the kind of GM who goes all in. I think he's the guy who would rather have a deep farm system and be competitive every year and not risk losing his most coveted unproven prospects for the chance of winning another WS this year. He thinks he can win a World Series with this roster and doesn't feel the urgency we fans feel about this starting rotation. 

I hope I am proven wrong by 3pm tomorrow.

Something everyone is overlooking, the Astros lost a shit ton of future revenue in future ‘Beer’ jersey sales.

 

Went from heart pounding for hours with anxiety to the sweet feeling of winning the trade deadline with the best team in baseball. FUCK YES!!

More than made up for by the future revenue from a 2nd World Series in 3 years

You're a good man. I used to think Crane was a tool back during the CSN Houston carriage debacle days and him having a $14 million payroll one year when we sucked hard. Admitting mistakes is the first step.

Astros were at 39 for the 40 man, and are losing Fisher, so down to 38. Corbin Martin was also on the 40 so down to 37. Stassi is traded as well, down to 36. Adding 4 in the moves today so 40 man is set without any more moves.

As far as the 25 man roster goes, Urquidy is likely being sent down. Maldanado replaces Stassi. Means two more players are going to be sent down. Sneed is 1, then I guess goes Straw get sent down until rosters expand. I doubt Devenski is being sent down.

Just started my NYC vacation today. Local media is stressing out about Greinke pickup.

So where does the 25 man stand after all of this... I can’t keep up

Add:

Stassi
Pressly (IL)

I’m not even going to think about the 40 man...

Probably drop Sneed and Rondon?

Sneed and Urquidy

Not sure what the move is when Pressly comes back

I bet Luhnow didn’t overlook it. I’m sure that was another bullet point for Arizona to consider on his offer. From what I’ve seen, he doesn’t miss much. 😁

Just keep Grienke (and any other teammate that hasn’t already been in one) out of any HEB commercials.

And an Astros fan.

Man all the guys saying goodbye on Instagram. Good stuff, we traded some high quality guys

Comcast are the ones who fucked up the network. The Astros and Rockets (actually Les kept the claim after the sale) still have a lawsuit pending against Comcast in bankruptcy court.

Fisher will always be a part of one of the greatest moments in Astros history/my life as a fan.

Has anyone seen any comments/reaction from Grienke? SIAP

He said he’s looking forward to the surely Astros thread trashing him / demanding we over paid when he walks his first batter

I laughed. But seriously...? I haven’t seen anything yet.

Verlander, Cole, and Greinke will be our starters in the first 3 games of the ALDS and we only need to win 3 games to move on to the ALCS. I like our odds to sweep that

New York accents are the fucking worst

Crane  needs to consider restructuring his deal with Luhnow. Maybe including an earn-in clause for ownership points if he doesn’t already have that. Seems like we need to keep him around.

It’s too bad. CSN Houston had a lot of good content and talent like Jesse Palmer and Leila Rahimi. ATTSW is a bare bones operation in comparison.

Thanks for the 40 man breakdown. As for the 25 man, we have 2 off days next week so we’ll probably go with a 12 man staff. The 3 new pitchers should replace Sneed, Urquidy and Abreu. Straw might go down once Pressly comes off the IL

How does Greinke get it done only throwing in the low nineties? Well . . . 

 

Command, location, and changing speeds. 

How the fuck did we get 3 guys from Toronto for Derek Fisher again?

Luhnow’d

Luhnow convinced them that Tucker changed his name.

Maldonado made it to Cleveland.  Just showed him in the dugout.

Machete looked ready to cry with joy.

Hell yes !

In that interview with Cole, if he smiled any wider the top of his head would fall off

The odds of Cole staying here went up today 

You gotta think so, yes. Hopefully he can keep Boras in line.

I think Cole is thrilled his chances to win a ring just went up substantially.  As far as Boras is concerned, fuck him, Cole is his boss.

I’m thinking exactly the opposite. There’s no way we can afford to spend $85-90 million/yr on 3 pitchers.
