In 2 years Dana Brown had traded Drew Gilbert, Ryan Clifford, Korey Lee, Jake Bloss, Joey Loperfido and Will Wagner for JV, Kendall Graveman (both on IL) and Yusei Kikuchi. Let that sink in.
Yusei Kikuchi deal to Astros done. Blue Jays getting Jake Bloss, Joey Loperfido and Will Wagner, industry sources tell me and

Justin Verlander was as intricate to the Astros Golden Era of baseball as any other player during this time. If this is his last pitching performance at MMP as an Astro I am very grateful for all the memories he gave me.
Justin Verlander gets love from the Houston crowd and he gives it back as he heads into the dugout.

Shout out to Dana Brown who deserves this division title as much as anyone. Said early on the Astros would NOT be sellers. Went and got Kikuchi who I personally thought was overpriced (boy I ate crow there). Then made the right moves acquiring Gamel and Hayward. Rock solid GM.

Astros are gonna get maybe 10 starts from Kikuchi and we were told it was a win now trade. With 51 games left they chose to not get an every day bat with no timeline of Tucker returning. Why wasn’t the offense met with the same urgency?

Either this is a punch in the mouth for the Stros or gonna need the Mariners to start running away with it. Astros have no business being in this division race. Can't predict injuries but this is easily their weakest and most poorly constructed roster in years.

While I don't mind this, there really isn't a clear cut DH option on this roster when he does play LF.
Yordan Alvarez will play more left field this season, per Astros Manager Joe Espada.

Just a hunch but I would call up Whitley and send Contreras down till the ASG break.
Forrest Whitley struck out 2 over a scoreless innings last night. Up to 98.6 MPH with fastball. Both strikeouts came on the curveball. He threw just 12 pitches and got 4 whiffs.

Ronel Blanco sweats like Patrick Ewing at the Free Throw line. Kind of impressive he hasn't been tossed for foreign substance before in the 2 years he's been in the league and the 5 times a start he's been checked till now.

Maybe it’s just me but the pitching is the least of my worries. I know this is a marathon and a few days of bad games but the offense has been way too Jekyll/Hyde since all star break. It’s an abyss of thump once you get past Diaz.

He was brought in to face 6,7,8 hitters in LAA lineup. All with avg below .270. All OPS below .800. Even with a 2 run lead that should not be that "High Leverage" of a situation. I honestly don't think it matters where you pitch him, he's stuff just isn't elite anymore.
Maybe pressly quite literally can’t be a setup guy. When he got that save the other day he was fine

I think you run back the same lineup, same order. Love Chas but Dubon is just a better contact hitter rn. Tucker got on base all 4 times in the 6 hole. Lot of encouraging signs with the way it was constructed today.
