    Im pretty happy with Dana. We want and demand and we don't have much cap space or trade assets. And when we do get someone, we b**** about the price :) (cooch).

    If I would be NY fan, I would demand heads of Cashman and Boone or Cashman hiring real manager and let that person do something. This every lane and decision given to Boone beforehand is not gonna win WS. Also fans could see can Boone manage and can he be a leader without the threat of being too hard on a player and gettin fired.

    The NY thinking 100% all day every day computer says yes/no/this/that even in post season feels to me like playing poker tournament mid/late with cash game plan. Let's go all in 10 times with 53% flips, computer says it's win win win :). By every reporter Cashman is most loved around FO's in league and made his a*s part of owners family. Also the amount he gives bribes as getting NY prospects overrated every year and showing how valuable they are in $ means he will never get fired.

    With Dana I would want him guide Espada more. Hire some old grunt 100yo old bb rat lifer or Maddon or Showalter or somebody (whos too old to manage 3y contact anymore) to teach about in game managing and consistent lineups even in skids and stuff. Espada clearly is good vibes guy, maybe potty train him a bit to improve as manager?

    Sorry for the offtopic crap.

    Never for Altuve and this guy does it in his first month with the Astros. Baseball is crazy.

    He’s been good but his underlying metrics are not as good. Walter was striking more guys out while walking virtually no one. His chase rate was up there with some of the league’s best pitchers. Would much rather have Walter on the bump in a playoff game.

    Can't say enough about Jason A, he`s been a calming influence the last month while Framber and Hunter have stumbled...........not a great night but didn't **** the bed and our Offense got off the sideline to help. Nice job, now get Yordan back and see if his 5-8 in Corpus is a sign of things to come or not.

    Walter is the 2025 version of Hensley.

    This one time...at band camp...I mean...the Astrodome and an Astros game...my friend was so drunk he threw up all over the seat next to him in the upper topmost section. Apparently, that was kind of a lawless area. I want to apologize to whomever had to clean that up and replace that chair.

    What are you tripping about? I know you said kinda…I agree with you. I am just saying it sucks we lost Walter because I think he would have been a capable 3rd or 4th starter in the playoffs and was saying why I thought that. I’m not sure I trust Alexander to do that. Weird ass reaction by you here.

    Basallo just signed an 8yr 67 million extension.

    a week after being called up

    extremely friendly deal for the Orioles if he is what we think he is. Yeah it’s just 2 extra years but he will be really cheap those 2 years.

    Framber, yes. Hunter, no.

    Hunter has been virtually getting 0 run support for most of his outings recently.

    if he does suck, he will have a recurrence of the “blister” and it will be season ending.
