On one hand it’s infuriating when your team doesn’t accept reality, but it’s also encouraging knowing your team isn’t willing to tank and fully give up by throwing games.

I am forever on the no tank side. Fight me. (Any sport by the way)

What are the locals saying about the trade deadline? Is Alvarez on his way out?

Alvarez isn’t going anywhere. Astros might move some pitchers though (if anyone actually wants them).

Maybe Hader? He’s got two years left after this one and owed $19 million a season.

Is this wishful thinking or the org’s stance? Not ready to rebuild yet?

He’s got a lot of years (and money) left on his contract so someone would have to offer up a shit ton to make it worthwhile.

If it was the Pirates, they’d be thinking VERY differently. What good is he, when your team is on the downward trend. Keep eating that money…or trade him for the future.

Seth Hernandez for Yordan Alvarez straight up? And I’d still have to sleep on it, because of what’s owed.

Baseball is so weird/funny. Tigers had the worst record in the AL as of Monday and the Rays the best. 10-9, 8-0, 7-2 sweep.

Mr Gundam Seattle in town for three this weekend.

M’s are trying to make it three straight sweeps with a ninth straight win today. Should be a fun series. I think we’ll have Woo, Hancock and Miller starting the three games.

Tigs should have Valdez, Montero and then the bullpen probably.

Christopher Sanchez has been masterful. longest LH scoreless streak in history. 5th most all time. if the rest of the NL guys keep it up- Mis, Shohei, Burns, Sale, etc- it’ll be a fun summer.

Phils are in Milwaukee next weekend and it would be a treat if Sanchez/Mis match up.

He just keeps on doing crazy stuff.

yes but did he hit his parlay?

Pretty sure he picked the Phillies to win so maybe?

don't need to be a genius to pick any team over the Padres right now

 

[Mr Gundam]

Hell yeah, this should be awesome.
