The trade was already lopsided enough, but damn:

Hope Fisher is okay.

Are the Astros basically using the Blue Jays as one of the farm teams?

Sanchez is like, oh this is what it's like to pitch with a good offense. 

They are one of the only teams that aren’t concerned about looking stupid when it comes to making trades yo the Astros (see Mets).

Ugh. That could be bad.

re: Fisher fly ball to the cheek

I'll probably get flamed, but I bet the rotation looks like this next season: 

Verlander 

Greinke 

McCullers 

Miley 

Sanchez

That's pretty darned good, even without the Cole Train.

What could be bad? Did I miss something?

What would you expect Miley to re-sign for in this scenario?

Seriously, how many of these can anyone in here remember happening? I mean not flubs, etc. I mean whiff to the face on a routine pop-up. I can’t recall any.

Very good insight. Thank you.

Joe Morgan was probably the best 2nd ever 

I agree but Rogers Hornsby is a fairly close 2nd. His stats are ridiculous.

I think he's worth 2 years, $20 million, but the Astros probably won't offer that.

Highly doubt Miley is here

I hope you're wrong, but Sanchez as the 4th starter and Whitley as the 5th starter would be pretty strong as well. 

Not bad from Sanchez so far... this last inning seemed to miss his mark a bit though.

Miley is pitching himself into a 2-3 yr contract. We aren't in that business.

There's also Josh James and Bryan Abreu that could show something as starters in spring training

I’d pay big bucks for an autographed copy of that pic 

Print it out and start hitting up the tristar

So Luhnow had a plan to get CFM back all along.  Just in a different body.

That pop-up made an impression. Hope he’s fine. The embarrassment will sting.

Alvarez hits those singles too hard 

Eventually, he’s going to maim or kill a pitcher or 1st baseman.

So. This fucking Sanchez guy huh. 

Cy Young contender as of 2016. The guy is good. The Stros fleeced the Blue Jays. 

Hope derek is ok. Always wanted moran and him to succeed. Good players and nice guys.

Lulz, nice try fatboy

Wow, pretty curve to freeze Broxton

We can go ahead and talk about it, because it ain’t happening with this pitch count.

Dumb. You let him roll to 130 if needed

Fuck a pitch count. Let it happen. (I know it won't.)

He’s good on energy. Blisters are his nemesis.

I don't know what y'all are talking about

For how good he's been pitching today he seems to be messing with his fingers a lot after pitches. Obviously since this is his first game with the Astros idk if that is just part of him pitching 

Fuck yeah! Luhnow strikes again. This guy next year will wreck after being in the system. Very nice outing, even though it’s Seattle. 

Looks like they're pulling him based on the dugout shots

Don’t give a fuck if he wasn’t good this year in Toronto. Beats watching us trot out minor leaguers every few days that should be in corpus or round rock.
