Looks like he was dead set on not playing in California. Perhaps taxes. I’ve done research on it myself...absolutely insane there.
I just heard Zack is most likely starting Aug 6th. Thankfully I already got seats on the 3 row next to the Astros dugout, I am pumped to see Zack in the home gear. That Tuesday night should be a sell-out soon.
And maximize 2020 and 2021. We are in it to win it the next 3 years. Luhnow mentioned Crane wants multiple shots and is going to spend what it takes now while the collection of elite talent like Springer, Altuve, Verlander, Brantley, Alex are under the same window. If the Astros win even just one World Series with ZG on the mound those 4 prospects are well spent. What the Astros win 2 or more? Strap in baseball fans you are in the midst of a golden run. I remember when Drabek and Swindell signed in 93 and I thought we were finally going to be contenders since Bags, Biggio, Bass and Cammy were in their prime. That team finished 3rd in the NL West 19 games behind the Braves. It should be awhile before another team is picked to win the division over the Astros.
Nope, didn't see this happening. I thought they'd get Robbie Ray plus Avila.... Of course, JV and Cole came out of nowhere also. Luhnow is a witch.
Sure; but because of Cole's pending free agency (and the now near-certainty he'll leave), the most urgent window is 2019.
Crane deserves a statue as well - after all he hired him, has stayed true to his word that he would spend money eventually and has given him the green light to do deals like these.
This makes me smile so much. Now all we gotta do is win it. eta: there were so many minutes of silence, while they just stared at the wall with nothing to say
Any lineup that features Correa batting 6th and potentially Kyle Tucker batting 8th is going to have a window regardless of what happens with Cole. Also won’t be shocked when they turn Aaron Sanchez back into his 2016 form...
You never know what the ****'s gonna happen in the postseason. I would have sworn that the 98 Stros would've played the Yankees in the WS. Oops.
As a League City boy transplanted in NY. All I can say is yesyerday and today have been VERY GOOD DAYS!!
I do not say the following two words to be a wet blanket or to be a 'Debbie Downer': Kevin. Brown. Not that anyone out there has some monster unbeatable pitcher the Astros cannot decipher. I only say these two words because, as Hinch said to his team yesterday when he broke the news to them, 'You still have to focus, play hard and go out there to win every night.'. No matter how strong this roster becomes, they can't get caught up in their own press, and hearing people talking about how it's now a foregone conclusion that it will be the Astros v Dodgers 2.0 . Stay hungry, get out there and dominate like you should. The path is clear, now you just have to walk it all the way.
Yeah the silence was golden. Agreed. Haven’t won it...yet. I like our chances, but you obviously have to play the games.
