1989NDN Posted July 28 Report Posted July 28 Tatsuya Imai has to go. He has failed to get out of the FIRST inning in three of his 15 starts this season and has thrown fewer than five innings eight times. This information is courtesy of Chandler Rome who I follow on the X (old twitter) platform. The Stone Cold Astros podcast believes Dana Brown is a lame duck. The Astros will let him ride out this season, the last year of his contract. If the Astros make a deadline trade, supposedly Brown wants a bat. Espada is asking for starting pitching. Which one will win that tug-of-war? AggiesAreWe and rupert3 2 Quote

Which one will win that tug-of-war? I say pitching because that’s what the game is all about. We have plenty of fire power, they just forget to show up some games. Hard to believe Imai was part of the combined no-hitter. I went to bed on them too. Had to get up early. Them west coast games are tough. Lol 1989NDN and rupert3 2 Quote

Which one will win that tug-of-war? I don't think you can trade him but I do agree we need a different starter. I think we need a pitcher or two and not necessarily a bat. I'll be curious to see what the Astros do come trade deadline. Quote
myrecordwashorrible Posted July 28 Report Posted July 28 Imai has 2 more years guaranteed at 18 million per year. Even if you wanted to move him and some team sees tremendous upside in him, they wouldn't willing tell you that and you aren't moving a guy with a negative WAR and that much guaranteed money without eating a tremendous amount of it. Have to hope he can become a "dude" next year is the likely scenario. baddog 1 Quote

myrecordwashorrible Posted August 1 Report Posted August 1 Along with leading the West, the Astros now have the same record as Cleveland who presently hold the final wild card spot. Nice change of status in just a few weeks for the club. baddog and AggiesAreWe 2 Quote
baddog Posted August 1 Author Report Posted August 1 Poor Dezenzo, with a position player pitching for the Rangers and the bases loaded, they pinch hit him for Alvarez and he got booed. Of course the boos were for the substitution, not the player. That had to be tough. rupert3 and myrecordwashorrible 1 1 Quote
AggiesAreWe Posted August 1 Report Posted August 1 This is also the first time since April 6 (6-5) that Houston has been over .500 (56-55) on the season. Quote
AggiesAreWe Posted August 1 Report Posted August 1 Also, this win secures the Silver Boot for the Astros. That makes 10 consecutive years Houston has won the Silver Boot. A friend of mine asked, "Is this even a rivalry anymore?" baddog and myrecordwashorrible 1 1 Quote

rupert3 Posted August 1 Report Posted August 1 I really like our first 4 batters and it seem like the end of the batting order is doing pretty good right now according to Pena and Alveraz rbi numbers. Quote
AggiesAreWe Posted August 2 Report Posted August 2 We don't need Springer. Need another arm or two. Astros are third in the AL in runs scored but are 12th in runs allowed. Pitching is what is needed. rupert3 1 Quote

AggiesAreWe Posted August 2 Report Posted August 2 5-4 win for Houston. Astros have now won 5 straight and 10 of last 11. Have 1 1/2 game division lead. Go for the sweep tomorrow. rupert3 and baddog 2 Quote
