Seattle is about to face the white Sox at home for a 3 game series … hopefully the pull a Houston and get swept by a crap team at home
White Sox have a better record than the Astros since july 1!
im open to being wrong always, but it's literally 2 videos in a row, the headlines of those convey a certain tone to me for sure and the Seattle game is from a while ago as well and just posted itBeau Holder said:

Gig 'Em and God Bless
Jomboy knows where his bread is buttered. He uses Astros hate for clicks. Put Astros in the headline of the video -- get clicks.
The headline could be -- "Out-of-control M's pitcher leads to bad blood" or something like that. But -- it's not. It's s framed to take advantage of the Astros hate -- even 6 years after the sign stealing was revealed.
The fact that you have Orel still talking about the sign stealing or alluding to it on broadcasts -- then the Red Sox getting a pass for the crap this past weekend -- though they cheated in 2018 -- shows the media is still pushing the Astros hate, though not overtly.

With Blubaugh perhaps being activated today and Arrighetti starting tomorrow, the Astros will be making some roster moves. LHP John Rooney, the reliever acquired from the Marlins two days ago, has been optioned.

So who is the opener here?
Jomboy has never been good. The fact he got famous off lip reading videos is ridiculous. Watch the Jomboy Media videos on Twitter and Instagram. Their employees don't know anything about Baseball, and are some of the least athletic people on the planet.
They also have an employee that's oddly obsessed with little boys.

Is Blubaugh going? That would make the most sense.
I would think it makes sense to just see how far Blubaugh can go, but who knows.
Judge is back off the IL with a couple games to get his timing back before we come to town
The issue today and tomorrow is with Blubaugh and Spencer back to back, you could very well need to get 10 innings out of the pen between the 2 days. Thats a big ask.
They really should have spaced these guys out instead of going B2B.

Man, wonder what it's like to have a major contributor go out with a strain and return after two weeks.
Don't be shocked is someone like Martinez gets sent down, or maybe AJ after today. Then we can call up Contreras and/or Vanwey. Keep a few fresh arms up to get us to next week with Javier comes back. That means you can move two of Alexander, Gusto, or Gordan to the pen.

Miracles happen.
If he was on the 'stros the sentiment here would be our staff rushed him back because we're desperate and are going to cause some career ending injury.....
Can't move Gusto to the pen. Unless you are the Marlins GM.

This is close to our best lineup. Put Caratini at 1B, DH Walker and put Altuve at 2nd and you're there
Catchers generally move slowly. There's a lot to learn about being a big league backstop. His bat is also not very advanced so I'm sure they want to squeeze as much out of it as possible.Mr.Bond said:EastCoastAgNc said:Astros didn't want to give him up in the Cease trade.

Feels like he should be in Corpus by now no?
Dana said Yordan would be taking live BP swings today in Florida.
A. Does anyone know of that actually happened?
B. If it did, did he survive?

Why DH walker over Vic? Walker is better at 1B
Cristian Javier will start for Triple-A Sugar Land tonight in Sacramento, Joe Espada said.

Do we even know if Yordan is still alive at this point? Has anyone seen him in a picture in the last 3 months?
lining up Javier to open the Red Sox series
so Bregman's return...Correa's return...Javier's return...
and Yordan's return?
what a night

Bregman's return - yep
Correa's return - yep
Javier's return - it's on the table
Yordan's return - I can't stop laughing
Jake is even more perplexing. I don't think I've even heard his name
FWIW - they do expect Yordan to return. Not saying it's going to happen, but they really do expect it. We'll see.
