-Astros Anderson Brito is getting some good pub in the AZFL. -He’s 20 and was signed for $10K in 2023 out of Venezuela. -Likely starts in AA next year. -He has a 2.36 ERA in 103 Milb innings. -Electric 4 seamer!!!! -👀

Astros 📝 -Lots of superficial thinking among talking heads. -Great blast by Pujols; sure. Next game: -Roy Oswalt goes 7 IP/1 R/3 H/6 K -Qualls and Wheeler close the deal. -Astros legend Lane HR. Astros move on…Cardinals go home and fish. Bugger off cretins. lol #Astros
20 years ago today, Albert Pujols stunned the crowd in Houston with this towering go-ahead home run in the 9th 😳

Astros 📝 -This could certainly put the Astros over the top in the AL West. -With Pearson’s prowess on the mound, there’s no stopping them. -Now, all kidding aside, he has elite FB velo and arm extension. No doubt the Astros pitching gurus see something.
The Astros are in agreement with right-handed pitcher Nate Pearson on a one-year, $1.35 million contract, pending physical, source tells @TheAthletic.

The Astros “Curse of the 1st Baseman” continues: OPS/MLB Rank 2022 (.656/25th) 2023 (.698/25th) 2024 (.651/ 27th) 2025 (.723/18th) #HoustonAstros
Heyman says the Astros are a possibility for Pete Alonso. That's surprising.

lol. With the ownership you have, your hyperactive throw-the-gooey froggy at the bathroom mirror GM, and a fanbase that puts shoes on top of their heads… Give me Jim Crane and Yordan Alvarez every f*cking day of the week. Enjoy it now…history firmly indicates it won’t last.
@robncypress How’s the Past taste. I prefer to be the present which is a present and the Presence of Polanco is Prosperous

Astros 📝 Three years ago today: -Astros down 7-3. -Bregman 2- R HR in 8th makes it 7-5. -9th…Meyers and Peña get on. -Yordan promptly sends the ball 438 feet for a walk-off. Astros win.

Bring back memories for anyone?
This is the first time since October 15, 2022 that an MLB postseason game will go to the 12th inning That 18-inning game ended 1-0 as Jeremy Peña's home run helped the Astros complete an ALDS sweep of the Mariners in Seattle

Upon further reflection, as great as Judge is… I’ve got several Astros PO HR that beat this: -Altuve Walk-off ALCS HR ‘19 -C. Burke NLDS walk-off vs STL 2005 -Yordan blast 2022 World Series -Peña vs SEA 18th inning ‘22 ALDS -Multiple HR’s vs LAD g5 2017 -& couple more

Well, Yankees are eliminated…again. -The fanbase will blame Boone, however, IMO, the one constant during this NOT winning a World Series streak? Brian Cashman and to a lesser extent, Hal Steinbrenner. -Roster construction is absolutely “a thing”.

Can’t say I’m upset about this result. -I simply can’t root for a team whose fans put shoes on top of their heads. -That’s how I roll!

MLB has been wanting (& waiting for) this for years. -Judge (& the NYY) just hasn’t performed. -He’s been the best hitter in mlb for years but until now, just hasn’t had great postseasons. -FWIW…his playoff line vs Astros: 17 GP 65 AB 25 SO 4 HR 9 RBI .200/.288/.415/.703

No shocker here. -Can you question both pertaining to 2025 performance? Sure. -If you watched the games and kept track of all relevant data, neither rank high on the culpability list. -Having said that, the default setting for many fans typically is “blame the manager”. -Meh 4me.
Source: Astros GM Dana Brown and manager Joe Espada are both under contract for next year and will return in 2026, a source tells MLB. com. Any speculation about their futures can be put to rest.

What better present could there be than a trade resulting in a fresh start. -No disrespect.

-Some inaccurate info has been shared recently by a couple dudes lately. -The MLB CBT for 2026 is $244M. -The Astros approx projected payroll (as of today) is ~$221.7M. -Astros are ~$22.3 under the CBT. -I’d expect a few arb elig won’t be tendered. -Look for a couple trades.
That's an estimated $66.7 million due to the 16 arbitration-eligible Astros, per @mlbtraderumors, which tends to do a very good job with these projections - https://t.co/YPMQUq1tv7

Brantley was even better in his time w/ the Astros (.305/.365/.463/.828) -Just couldn’t shake the injuries. -Popular player -Strong tire-changing manager #BuiltForThis
Michael Brantley was one of the best hitters I’ve ever seen.
