    Remember…. According to the trade publications and their connections, there are 70+ players in the minors better than him.

    and yet the Astros keep spitting out good major leaguers despite having one of the “worst” farms in baseball

    I apologize for anything I've said about Abreu in the past.

    Astros LEGEND Jarred Cosart. We were able to convince the Marlins to give up a haul for him based on a small sample size. Got quite a few pieces that played roles in the 2017 World Series-Winning Season.

    Yordan’s batted balls are getting harder and back to normal now that his hand is (hopefully) healed.

    Looks like Brown pitched great. Love that!! Our bats are the absolute definition of inconsistent. 9 runs, 1run, 10 runs, no runs. So weird.

    beat these chumps

    Hunter looked great out there. Some hard hit balls, but almost all on the ground for easy outs. Loved seeing JV cheer him on after that K to end the inning. Now...if our bats would wake up.

    I paused the game to get some stuff done, and only watched the top half of the innings to see Hunter pitch....and skipped through our at bats as we were doing nothing any ways...Ranger's starter was nearly as good as Hunter.

    I'm all caught up now and having to watch our bleh offense tonight.

    Man I really wish Brantley could have come back healthy. We really miss his consistency at the plate.

    They loooove to project guys who are years away...I'd love to see a proper list of "guys who can help their team in the next 2 months and next season".
