Astros in for a 4 game weekend set - June 7-10

The one good thing about your team sucking is you don’t really get mad or upset when they’re losing.

Just chalk it up to growing pains or part of the rebuilding process.

Humble pie is only meant to help him change not just a hand slap punishment. But yeah perhaps he is coddled

By no means am I sending him down, as you would say, 'to punish him.' If I insinuated this, sorry.....But he could learn to go with the pitch, - not exclusively - and still hit a boat load of homers. They just don't have to land in the next zip code to still count. His approach for weeks or more has been 500 feet or nothing, and this does him/us no good whatsoever in the long run IMO.

Agree. Whether he stays or goes he needs to make changes to his approach. Plenty of others would love to take his place.

Probably not time for a long term contract just yet huh?

Gzee....who could you possible be referring too? ha ha ha

 

[Kelleyman]

And Bregman jaws with the ump.....Barnette took two big hitters down

I thought it was funny when they said earlier that they’re not rushing Elvis back.


I wonder why not. Trying to give Odor more time to heat up?

You know better. Star SS with a broken elbow gets all the consideration especially on a rebuild year

I know just trolling.

It does seem like they’re showing odor a lot of favoritism despite the poor play tho.

I never gave up on Elvis when he wasn’t hitting well and my only gripe about Choo was his contract and injury history. This one feels different to me. I think odors contract was a big mistake and the front office will have to come to grips with that reality sooner or later.

You could’ve fooled me.

MJB Trade Rumors has rated Cole Hamels the #4 trade prospect, Beltre #16, Kela #26, Colon #28, Fister @29, Chavez #34 and Diekman #38 out the top 50. they also list Andrus as outside the top 50 because of his injury but as a probable trade prospect

How accurate are those guys?

Wish we had some players higher up the list then that. We need to make some deals this summer.

What, no Choo on that list.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Maybe they already concede that choo’s contract is an albatross and untradeable.

Maybe? lol

they said Choo's contract precludes any deal

 

[DT LUNA]

No doubt. I for one have never had any good feelings about trading Choo.
