Good offense = CHECK
Good starting pitching = CHECK
Good bullpen = CHECK

Gotta say that two game series went about as good as we could hope

I'm still skeptical given how bad the Rockies are but sometimes that is what you need to turn things around. A real slumpbuster

Rankings are so weird. How many of those are going to make the big league club before Joey? Obviously Spencer

Baez and Matthews have been struggling bigly. Melton has started to heat up the last week. Dezenzo and Cole have been hurt. Pitching looking strong though. Blubagh, Bloss and James Hicks will be top 10 with 1 or 2 top 5 by year end.

Will be interesting to see what they do with the roster. A position player already has to come off with the 27th man for the Mexico series. Singleton DFA? Chas to the IL?

I also have a rally baby coming in July

Loperfido isn't on the 40 man, so someone is either going on the 60 day IL or getting DFA'ed. Is the front office finally done with Abreu?

GigEM96

7:18p, 4/28/24

Hmmm. It's been nice Big Jon, if I had to guess

Rally baby since Wednesday night

- Astros 2-0
- Loperfido called up
- Framber returned
- Yordan's power is back

I would think so. He's just not an MLB player. But neither is Abreu.

Zero chance they DFA Abreu this early. Crane and Bagwell don't want that stain on there resume. Nice knowing you Jon

GigEM96

7:24p, 4/28/24

They're gonna hold out hope Abreu gets it together over the course of the season, like last season

Singleton had every opportunity to stake his claim. Great to see him get his life together but it's a business, as a former recent Astro said

I don't know...Dana said end of April to determine what comes next for Abreu and with the travel day tomorrow we're pretty much there. Do you really think his batting practice sessions are going much better for him.

They might be ready to cut bait and let the young guys eat. DFA Jon and Abreu and call up Wagner too, as a wildcard.

Wife and I are talking about trying to have kids starting next year, but they wouldn't probably be along until after the 2025 season

Abreu can also fill our pinch hitting and running needs even if hes not in the field

Don't wait. The sooner you start, the more you can have. We need more Aggie and Astros in this world.

Might help having some young guys trying to make it to big leagues in the clubhouse

Astros have had more Roger Dorns in there as of late

7:53p, 4/28/24

In fiction Roger Dorn played 3rd base, just saying

Or, you know, you could actually be a team player and get to work now.

Next step is flipping Bregman and Pena in the order.
