rupert3 Posted August 2 Report Posted August 2 Pena was robbed of HR but was triple I guess because right fielder was part of the field. when he caught it ober the fence abd dropped it on the field Quote
myrecordwashorrible Posted August 2 Report Posted August 2 Bullpen gave up 2 hits while recording 13 outs. Sousa gave up two walks but the other 4 guys gave up no free passes. Good ball game. baddog 1 Quote

myrecordwashorrible Posted August 2 Report Posted August 2 The stat shown in game about Alvarez having 8 homeruns against the Rangers while only 3 teams have 1 more on the season than he has by himself is outstanding. He is a one-man gang! AggiesAreWe 1 Quote

baddog Posted August 2 Author Report Posted August 2 Peña gets my MVP vote for the series. It’s a tough call, but there it is. Maybe Aggie will have some stats to back my pick. rupert3 1 Quote
myrecordwashorrible Posted August 2 Report Posted August 2 Alvarez hasn't hit a home run in 4 games. Probably won't hit one ever again. Hope the Astros can dump him before the trade deadline. Anybody miss somebody?? IYKYK. baddog and rupert3 2 Quote

AggiesAreWe Posted August 2 Report Posted August 2 That's 6 consecutive wins and 11 of last 12. It's the first time Houston has been 3 games above .500 since April 4 when they were 6-3. I agree that Pena is the MVP of this series. I really would like to see another arm on the roster but doesn't look like it will happen. rupert3 1 Quote

Only way Houston gets another arm for this season is to give up a player or two on the current big league roster. Quote

Month ago I was thinking Astros blowing up the roster.. Quote

Who do the Astros have they would be willing to move, what could you get for the player(s) you would give up, who would need/want them, and what teams could build a better package with so many teams in contention this year? We could see a shocker move, a "flyer" move for an old pitcher as a salary dump for another team, and possibly nothing big or nothing at all. Wait, see, and wonder. Will be an interesting day across the league. Quote

To be honest I may be a little upset if they did… if Astros get into post season play we will scrape by and get bounced out round 1. With the Dodgers making another move with Skuball everyone is playing for runner up. Dodgers killed baseball, and I am so ready for a salary cap. rupert3 and AggiesAreWe 2 Quote

rupert3 Posted August 3 Report Posted August 3 May get Trevor Larnach Nevermind Crane nixed that Quote
myrecordwashorrible Posted August 3 Report Posted August 3 Well we have a trade. Arrighetti for Daulton Varsho. Interesting. Varsho is a rental, as he will be a free agent after this season. Make a run and Varsho produces...good trade. Flounder and Arrighetti becomes a quality pitcher for several seasons...bad trade. rupert3 1 Quote

OBP is .307, SLG .375, OPS .682 Math tells me we got the short end. baddog, 1989NDN, myrecordwashorrible and 1 other 2 2 Quote

rupert3 Posted August 4 Report Posted August 4 Correa said he would be back this season. We will see Quote
