    The sad part of this... The Astros aren't even playing their A team. We can barely hang.

    Be thankful for what they got from him. Might be buried in 3rd in the division without him.

    For anyone wondering why the front office added two bats at the deadline... They were clearly guarding themselves against the inevitable regression of Max Muncy and Matt Kemp.

    Neither are we...the two main offensive cogs in our lineup have gone from exactly that to completely dead, useless weight.
    Kemp and Muncy are zeroes personified.

    might be time to find a way to bring up Verdugo cause it's likely he's a better hitter than at least one of Muncy or Kemp

    Pederson - Verdugo - Puig needs to be the OF when everyone is healthy.

    and if a LH pitcher is going Pederson and Puig are worthless.

    I'm honestly surprised when pitchers make a clean throw to 2B on a grounder back to them

    If they signed him he would turn into Jim Eisenrich.

    And I don't mean he would get Tourette's.

    That's another conversation, but luckily most pitchers are right-handed.

    If Enrique would do his job against LHP, that would help with at least 1 platoon.

    Yeah, I'll give him that. I just wish we got somebody else other than Axford.

    Pitchers are turds at doing anything but throwing 60 ft, 6 inches toward the plate.

    No shit. All BP arms (some were had on the cheap) out there and they come up with Axford.

    Get Verdugo up here. I can't watch this many strikeouts.
