    Just think about it, that "loser" is in the top 99.99th percentile of his chosen field. He is incredibly well compensated for his efforts.

    How's your job?

    Exactly seriously need an impact bat Jesus the Astros have had this rediculous payroll for what 4 years now?!

    Times up front office Springer is up Singleton and Folty should be and maybe Santana as well. Correa should be in AA by the end of the season and could be up next year. There has better be a MAJOR acquisition this offseason.

    Oh, just flight controller for a $150 billion dollar spacecraft. So I'd say I'm in the 99.99th percentile of my field as well since there are only a handful of us. And I guarantee you I'm not yawning on console in key situations.

    So Obie is the odd (even) man out from the 6-man rotation?

    Winning streak was fun, let's make sure it isn't followed by a losing streak by taking 3 of 4 from Orioles today

    Feldman isn't our best pitcher but he is paid to be our best...hey Scott, shut these dudes down today

    I would assume he is no longer in the rotation and they want him to get regular starts.

    Maybe we should have sent Feldman instead of Obie to AAA ;)

    I want a bigger payroll like the next guy, but instead of 10 mill a year on a mid rotation guy, I'd rather use that cash to help when ready to sign a true ace, or impact bat....

    So, Ashby is wondering why they aren't dancing in the dugout after the Dominguez HR. Perhaps it is because they are LOSING 9-4. Just a thought.

    Someone has to pitch innings, that was the idea behind signing a relatively cheap short-term vet.
