It's awful to say but I legit hope it's Fiers with Covid. Especially since the pedo wasn't wearing a mask
No... and all the Oakland players now testing negative as well. Maybe they just wanted to get out sooner and avoid Framber. That’s fine, let them. The Astros historically hit very well in Oakland and should be able to keep pace with them with all the upcoming games vs. the Rangers, Mariners, and Angels. As it is, they don’t have to go all out to try and win the division. Them playing the Yankees in a 3 game first round series, vs. playing the Twins is really not that much of a competitive difference (and in this case, they’d actually be more likely to play the Yankees if they win their division vs. playing the Twins if they’re a 2nd place team).
I agree. Astros might win the division without trying too hard despite being in a small hole at the moment.
I hope we win the division. I mean I hope we can pull it together enough to get far in the playoffs, but if anything winning the division is at least something to throw back at the haters in case we don't win it all.
If they didn’t accept the 107 win 2019 team that came within 2 innings of winning it all with no reported cheating... they’re unlikely to accept winning a division after a 60 game season.
Oakland - "No, I think we're ok to play Seattle... we just weren't good to play Houston... please don't cancel these games."
You know these morons don't pay any attention to the fact that they didn't cheat in 2019. A lot of them were expecting us to not be good this year.
Well then they're even more moronic than you're giving them credit for. Either they acknowledge that they didn't cheat in 2019... or they admit that a team left relatively intact from last year (and getting back LMJ) would likely still be good enough.
