If everyone is healthy (including Yordan, Paredes, Meyers), this batting lineup is pretty damn lethal as long as players are playing up to their potential (Walker, Diaz)

Yordan may be the only big bopper but top to bottom everyone in the lineup could be around or close to .800 OPS+

Rivals the 2019 lineup imho

No way. That lineup was spectacular. Yet, the pitching was better

Gurriels know something about turning around fastballs in the zone

Loved when she mentioned listening on the radio with her grandfather. Long time, dedicated Astro. Love it.

She should have said I'll give this ball to Marsee for an Altuve autographed Astros jersey

So could Blubaugh be the additional right handed reliever we've been seeking? 98 out of the pen would be nice

wRC+ Since July 1:
  • Altuve - 171
  • Pena - 154 (only 19 PA)
  • Walker - 133
  • Diaz - 127
  • Dubon - 122
  • Sanchez - 122
  • Correa - 119
  • Trammell - 115
  • Urias - 72
  • Smith - 54
This offense is working. Walker and Diaz coming around, finally, is nice. Altuve is ageless. The only bad spot is Cam. I think he'll work thru it. Having Sanchez to spell him helps a bunch.

Is it too much to ask how Yordan's on-field batting practice went yesterday? They've been pumping the fact he was going to be in Fla taking live BP, and now…crickets….

Well considering that happened yesterday and it's only 9 am I'd say that's not really crickets.

Hold tight a little bit and see what is said during media availability pregame.

Surely THIS will be the time the cycle of do BP, shut down with an owie will be broken.

Not necessarily. Part of the process of him taking BP is going to be checking the pain level a day or so after

I want AJ to get a shot at the 5th spot in the rotation now. I think we've seen enough of Gordon & Alexander to know they're serviceable. Blubaugh could actually be legit. It's only been 2 outings, but his stuff grades out well.

so is Lance done for 2025?

Arrighetti is back

Javier next week

Brandon Walter shortly thereafter

and now Blubaugh is a possibility

done from the standpoint of not having a spot in the rotation anymore

and there's not enough time to transition to a trustworthy bullpen role

I'm not trying to shlt on Lance but I'm genuinely curious.

How much time does he have left? How long will the org just let him sit on the IL year after year?

Does he sit on the IL under his contract runs out?

The injuries plus his performance have caused him to get passed up by some of these guys coming back and I just don't see a fit.

With the arms "supposedly" coming back, I don't see LMJ finding a role. Not as a starter and would be a shaky BP option.

All these arms are coming back at the same time and all of them are going to be 4 IP, 75 pitch guys.

It's time to tandem guys. It's that or destroy the pen every night.

Let's go Dana. Pair them up.

it was called a blister by our medical staff… it very well could be gangrene

Since July, Walker and Diaz have been producing at about the rate we expected them to going into the season

Diaz (.803 OPS)
Walker (.833 OPS)
