    I wish him well. But I'd like to see him back post playing career.

    We weren't able to save him :(

    Sad to see another player leave, but it was time to move on. Hope he bounces back in Miami

    The Robert Horry of baseball for this generation did what he needed to do.

    Game 5, 3 run home run to tie the game off kershaw in the 2017 WS will always be an all time great Astros moment.

    Oof.

    That is possibly the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life.

    I'd like to eventually see about a dozen threads on Yuli before the regular season starts. We are just about halfway there.

    Thank you Yuli for being a great Astro and giving me many great memories.

    And thank goodness the team was smart enough to move on.

    Awesome and a great call by Buck too (for all the hate he gets).

    Loved me some Yuli. I hope he continues to have some success elsewhere, just not against the Astros. He was such a fun personality to have on the team.

    Kind of reminds me of Jose Lima in a way. Sometimes he is really good, sometimes really bad, but you never hated the guy. He was just too fun.

    When Yuli, Tuve, and Uncle Mike were locked in, they really were hit machines. Would hit pitchers pitches and bad balls too. Was great to see!
