Not eligible at this time. Needs to stay down for I think 10 days unless he is replacing an injured player.
So, with the way our season is going, he'll be eligible tomorrow. What a swift kick in the b@lls this season is...
The lesson here is that there is no situation so bad that it can not be rectified with a large application of cash. Tough damn lesson to have to keep re-learning over and over again.
Missed your post, yep. I would think they’d want to give him another look at some point but I’m being told Hummel is crushing so it would make sense…
https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/2498831 Bagwell criticizes Astros' focus on analytics: 'This game is played by humans' Former Houston Astros first baseman and current special assistant Jeff Bagwell believes the club has grown too reliant on analytics over the past few years. "There are certain things that go on that the numbers can't explain," Bagwell said Tuesday, according to the Houston Chronicle's Chandler Rome. "This game is played by humans, man. It's not played by computers." Bagwell was seriously trying to vicariously live through Abreu... lesson is don't let emotion over determine decision-making. (And that's why I am single.)
Basically he's using the money the Mets are paying on Verlander's contract to go towards Abreu. A wash for the organization and moving on. This also means the Astros plan to be contenders and not sellers (otherwise why not just let Abreu play it out)
Random question, if Dubon shows he's capable at playing 1b and continues to hit, do they still go after a 1b in a trade? Not sure if they would prefer to use assets elsewhere and keep Dubon at 1b or keep Dubon as a super utility guy.
Brown has turned turned the corner with a 1.74 ERA his last 5 games. Astros good enough to not barely wins games like Seattle -- please start winning close games too. 1-0 since Abreu's ousting
Brown and Arrighetti have both looked amazing. It's only been a month, but it could be a huge long term development in an otherwise aggravating season like in 2020.
Meyers, Pena, Brown, Arrighetti looking like stars. Diaz needs to get hot and all of a sudden you’ve got a great young secondary core behind Altuve, Alvarez, and Hader.
