@Chandler_Rome @brianmctaggart He received a standing ovation last year as a Cub. Fans were booing the uniform he chose this year. It’s a business but he chose a team that cries more than the Yankees.

@brianmctaggart no. he is one of the faces of the golden era. they traded him for no other reason than they didn't want to pay him. how is that something he did wrong?

Is booing Kyle Tucker OK?

@brianmctaggart Why not Dezenzo over Whitcomb?

Zach Cole is back. Astros have recalled Cole and DFA'd Daniel Johnson Also, OF Zach Dezenzo from the Injured List and optioned him to Triple-A Sugar Land.

@Chandler_Rome I would have thought Dezenzo over Whitcomb but who knows how they make decisions

The Astros called up Zach Cole and DFAd Daniel Johnson. They also activated Zach Dezenzo from the IL and optioned him to Triple-A.

@JeffPassan How’s that wrecking crew doing?

The Baltimore Orioles lineup might have the best lineup in baseball. Whatever order Craig Albernaz chooses, he’s got Gunnar Henderson, Pete Alonso, Jordan Westburg, Taylor Ward, Adley Rutschman, Jackson Holliday, Sam Basallo, Dylan Beavers and Colton Cowser. A wrecking crew.

@BOSSportsGordo Delusional that Duran would command that much

The Padres reportedly offered Salas, an expiring Dylan Cease, and another prospect for Jarren Duran last year. ATP, The who says no is probably just Salas alone and it’s probably the Padres saying no.

@ChrisCoop_ They win maximizing their talent unlike your squad who constantly underperforms.

Wanna see what devil magic looks like? Look at these Tampa Bay Rays team rankings Batting 29th in xwOBA (.304) 30th in xwOBAcon (.330) 30th in Barrel% (4.4%) 30th in Hardhit% (32.0%) 20th in xBA (.241) 20th in GB% (44.8%) 27th in SwtSpt% (31.7%) Pitching 21st in xERA (4.44) 24th in xwOBAcon (.385) 18th in FIP (4.25) 19th in xFIP (4.29) 20th in SIERA (4.13) 17th in K-BB% (12.1%) 25th in GB% (40.0%) 26th in Barrel% (10.2%) 25th in SwtSpt% (25th) Defense 28th in FRV (-10) 28th in OAA (-11) And they're team isn't in some elite category of baserunning either nor are they for sprint speed. Just pure, unadulterated insane devil magic😂 If regression doesn't take the fattest whack of the bat at this team's record I am just going to become a Jeff Frye truther and start eye-testing everything. I'll never use a statistic with the letter x or w in front of it ever again

@Chandler_Rome @CrushCityShow @tylercstafford Great podcast. Seems like even in the minors their top pitching prospects- Pecko, Ullola haven’t thrown much. Pecko has looked great but innings limited after coming back from injury. And Ullola was also hurt a bit. Not sure where they are building starters in the minors.

@ggeiss_mlb You’re lucky they weren’t swept.

Re: Astros series • HOU SP: 13.1 IP, 17 H, 7 BB… just 4 runs allowed • 3-for-28 (.107 BA) w/ RISP • Yordan Alvarez: 1-for-14, BB, 5 Ks At least they’re getting more chances, but it’s pretty alarming you couldn’t take 2 of 3 here. Changes are needed (article out soon).

@Savageboston The Astros offense is #2 in the AL in scoring runs. Their pitching has been awful. Your team just sucks balls all around. Awful, horrible, team, the Red Sux.

Btw not that anyone cares, but the Astros are a horrible baseball team, and they have taken 5/6 from the Red Sox this year. It’s unbelievable

@AdamSpolane In the right direction but far far far away from any conclusion. Once they get Brown, Hader, Imai, Meyers, and Pena back then we’ll know ( if they can hang on until then).

The Astros are 6-6 over their last 12 games. Has the ship been righted?

@stoolpresidente Flexing like the Red Sox aren’t clearly worse. You should have been swept.

Red Sox lose series to Astros (one of worst teams in baseball). Ranger Suarez hurt. Sick season. #selltheteam

@tylermilliken_ Astros should have swept.

Officially 10 GB of the Yankees in the AL East. Tied for the worst record in the AL with the Angels at 13-21. Only team worse in the sport is the Mets at 11-22. Astros looked like garbage and still took 2 out of 3. Now we wait for a Suarez update. Horrendous vibes.

@BOSSportsGordo Except the Red Sox are the worst team in baseball. So you should expect it.

God awful way to end a series loss to one of the worst teams in baseball. Scored 7 total in the series against the worst pitching staff in baseball. Ranger hurt hamstring. This season couldn’t possibly blow harder if it tried. For real, it’s pathetic.

@Hunter_Noll They’ve always had great defense, very good hitting and great pitching. It has been the latter missing this season.

Alright, man. The Red Sox offense has been bad. But what the hell is this defense from Houston this series?!?! They're all just prime Ozzie Smith all of a sudden?!?!

@brianmctaggart It would be malpractice for Espada to pitch him. Guaranteed loss.

Bryan Abreu is warming up in the Astros bullpen.

@Chandler_Rome Espada should be fired first. Imagine pulling Walker in the 8th in a tie game to pinch run for him so that we can give two .220 hitters a chance to drive in the pinch runner ( albeit pinch runner got to second on sacrifice).

The Astros should give AJ Blubaugh the belt even if they lose this game. What an effort — and what an indictment on the Astros' roster construction and pitching circumstances.

@Chandler_Rome The indictment should be on Crane hiring Dana. We went from the best GM in baseball in Luhnow to the worst in Dana.

@MicrophoneMilo Not worried about Yordan at all.

Alvarez has looked like shit all series. Hoping it’s just a very brief cold streak. #Astros

@Feinsand Yordan will never be traded.

@Chandler_Rome Murray is a better pitcher than Weiss

The Astros activated Ryan Weiss off the paternity list and optioned Jayden Murray
