    Right. I’ll always love Carlos, he was the only one to really speak up and defend Houston with all the cheating stuff. Pena had some big shoes to fill and he’s wearing them well, well done rook

    I love Pena and obviosly it was the right decision. Just seems like Los gets hate on here.

    I can’t stop laughing. Nice comeback. I hope you know I meant absolutely nothing by the mom crack. I did have a grown man I used to work with that would get so offended by mom jokes, it just killed me and was so weird I thought.

    Agreed. There is a gleefulness and savage ness to some in the fan base when talking about correa that I don’t like.

    Pena fits in more with our team than Carlos did. Los seemed a little prima donna compared to Altuve, Bregman, Alvarez, Tuck who are all very laid back at this point in time.

    Would I take Los back... in a freaking heart beat if the price is right and he is ok playing 1st or 3rd.

    But we know that will never happen.

    Hopefully the Astros can finish this thing out. Not only for themselves. But for all the 2017 Astros as well.

    This team is a dynasty. They took the heel path much like the Patriots and i couldn't be more happy about it.

    Just have to finish it out.

    My wife was talking about how Bregman has toned down his cockiness since 2018, but this makes me laugh considering Bregman was as cocky/ as much as a prima donna as anyone.

    My guy has changed so much and I miss the old Breggy.

    The team is a bunch of good dudes now.

    I love our latin pitchers.

    Nerris, Abreu, Framber, javier... Ha you can tell they are the best of friends

    Exactly and it makes absolutely no sense. He was nothing but a stand up person here and still supports the team.

    Prima Donna is unfair. He was the one who spoke for the team during the cheating scandal. He also came up big in the clutch. He's got an ego but so do most guys.

    Did you really just suggest Bregman didn't play with an ego?

    Los just compared his FA to the Dior store. He is a Prima Donna. He also didn't care about where he played. He just wanted the highest contract per year basis.

    Bregman was arrogant. He isn't anymore.

    Yeah I don't think Carlos was a primadonna at all. He had swagger but the dude rode for his team at every turn. Dude was a warrior and deserves every ounce of our respect.

    When Altuve said he was a superstar, I took his word and never questioned it.

    Letting Carlos walk and giving this kid a shot is one of the best decisions ever.
