2018 Houston Astros season thread, Repeat!

[rtp]

I couldn't remember if the Chapman thing happened before he went to the Yankees, or the Cubs.

If right before they cubs, they couldn't care less, they won a World Series as a result!

Nope it was when the Reds had him. The Yanks had no problem picking up his talented arm. Im not saying I agree or disagree, just pointing out the typical hypocrisy of the national media.

And yes, go Astros! Hopefully they finish off the 9th and walk out of Seattle winning 2 of 3 and gaining a game on them in the standings.

Good news everyone in the lineup today has at least one hit. The only thing concerning was after getting 2 hits in his first 2 ABs, Jake struck out on pitches out of the strike zone his next two ABs. That is what got him in trouble previously. I hope he will relax and trust himself at the plate. If he can hit .250 with the occassional home run, he will be in the outfield nearly everyday.

Is it bad when you hope guys like Davis and Marisnick don’t get another bat during the game because they finally climbed above .200 BA?

[rtp]

They better not sneeze or they wont be there. Both sitting at exactly .200 lol. With a day off tomorrow the dont have to worry about slipping below that mark for at least 48 hrs.

Tucker...sent down? Seriously?

Now where does that leave the discussion/constructive debate (term used very loosely) and the results?

Go ahead. I'll wait.

Shout out to rtp for restoring order!

I think it means Tucker can't hit the broad side of the barn with a base fiddle. I know he's good and will get better but he has been underwhelming to say the least.

.150 after 50 at bats.

Yes. The current Tucker project is over. No #'s = no trade interest.

Back down and work on the craft. Chipper had to wait 5 yrs before he got his shot at the show.

You strike me as a guy with great “leadership” skills...

As I understand, you believe that the entire flock (the team) should suffer for the growth of one lamb (a rookie) when time and results are critical?

Seriously! .150 after 50 bats? Club was more than patient on this effort. He'll get another call-up.

I wouldn't lead men with your mindset, I'd fire them.

Perform, or work harder for the next opportunity (if you get one). If one succeeds, the rewards are more than they dreamed.
