Jake going on rehab tomorrow too!

I can't get picky because I am just happy to have Yordan back in the lineup, but hitting Correa in front of Yordan seems like an odd choice. Yordan needs protection in the lineup or else every flamethrowing reliever will pitch around him to get to Walker.

Yes - no doubt WAR favors a SS over a 2B - I am just saying from a perception of greatness standpoint, there are similarities.

Jeter was an outstanding hitter, leader, and postseason performer. His highlight real plays gave a perception that he was a gold glove shortstop when he was fairly average overall at the position. But that package in pinstripes is given a god-like status.

Meanwhile, people are still debating whether Altuve will be deemed Hall worthy.

I don't disagree with the rest of the post, but no one is debating whether Altuve will be HOF-worthy. Maybe a few crybabies about the sign-stealing scandal delaying him, but on merit alone, there's not a single sane person who is going to tell you he needs to do more in order to get in.

You guys need to put some respect on Walker's name. He's been crushing these last two months. .833 OPS for July and .847 OPS for Aug.

And he's in left field?

I expect him to play a decent amount of left field down the stretch. If Parades is able to return (that's a big if) he'll DH with Altuve at second and Yordan at left.

Joe Espada warning the Mariners to back off or he'll send Yordan back into the lineup.

It's really odd how much hate he continues to get considering he's been good for almost two months now.

Is Paredes still in play? I thought I saw a couple of days ago that he posted on his instagram story that he was out for the season. Did I get trolled? lol

Don't think he ever posted anything like that.

I was told yesterday or the day before it's still a possibility. Long shot though

This is what I saw. Upon closer examination it is very possible that I got trolled lol

Yeah, that's him who wrote coming soon

I don't think Isaac is trolling, he's just rehabbing. Once AAA runs out of games it might be tough, but even just to stand in the plate 3x as DH he would be a threat to slow walk around the bases after a pulled homer.

I think I interpreted "coming soon" as coming back next year. I would love to be wrong!

Disagree. There will plenty of debate (not just a few crybabies) whether he is "HOF-worthy". None of it will be based on stats and championships, it will be based on the cheating crap. There are alot of MLB fans that bought Jomboy's buzzer conspiracy hook, line and sinker and even more that believe he benefited greatly from the trash can stuff (even though we all know he didn't).

But my point when I originally brought this up wasn't about the HOF. It was about being the best second baseman ever. If he played in NY, that would be the debate, not whether he is HOF worthy.

Makes perfect sense. I didn't think it would have been Isaac trolling. I thought I had fallen victim to some imposter posing as Isaac

I always poke fun at my old man for being naive online and falling for everything. But sometimes I prove to be a bit hypocritical from time to time lol

Super last minute, but if anyone wants to go tonight I've had plans change and cannot go.

I'll go by time stamp - just PM me the email address

Who is this "Jake Meyers" person I hear spoken of

So glad Rogers is back. I was getting tired of having to hate on Diaz. My hate can now return to its proper home.

Yikes, looks like Eovaldi could be out for the season with rotator cuff sprain.

Astros cant hit him. Sucks to go out like that but we have two more series against the Rangers.

I'll take him for bench depth

Astros minor league catcher Emilio Gonzalez, who is currently on the roster of the Dominican Summer League Astros, has received a 56-game suspension without pay after testing positive for Boldenone, the league announced.

As always I'm happy to fill the seat for you. But only if nobody else wants to/can go or hasn't already reached out to you via PM.

Still available?

Tickets were claimed

Rockies pitchers reaction when they see Yordan has finally been activated- "Oh s#it why us"?

We're all not worthy of Frio.

Thanks Frio! Pumped. My son has been asking when Yordan will be back and why he was playing for a different team. (He's 4)

Pretty sure the Rockies quit giving a shlt a LONG time ago.

It's just an extension of his rehab assignment.

How sexy would that be?

Pena SS
Paredes DH
Altuve 2B
Alvarez LF
Correa 3B
Walker 1B
Diaz/Caratini C
Meyers CF
Smith/Sanchez RF

Stacked!

It would be absolutely amazing and fitting if we rolled into the postseason with that lineup after the crazy season of lineups we went through

With a healthier pitching staff? World Series worthy.
