Survivor of “The Rebuild”. Texas A&M. VGK. Recovering prospect hoarder. Twitter GM. Altuve Defender. Nothing is worth more than Jesus’s sacrifice for you and me
It’s been 3 years, and this NUKE delivered us another title. It’s the changing of the guard. PINNED UNTIL SOMETHING TOPS IT.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YORDAN HAS DONE IT!!!!! HOUSTON IS SHAKING!!!
Feel like I’ve seen more MLB tweets about Brice Matthews in the last hour than I’ve seen them tweet about us in general in the last month.
Brice Matthews has had some bat flipping practice the last 24 hours 😤
Taylor Trammell was acquired for cash considerations. Zack Short was signed to an MiLB contract. Cooper Hummel has been DFA’d 6 times in the last 18 months. Brandon Walter had 9 career MLB appearances when signed to an MiLB contract last year Dana Brown: Executive of the Year
The Houston Astros now have a 6 game lead in the AL West and the best record in the American League with 17 players on the IL.
Luis Arraez is 321st all time in ABs per K at 14.61. That’s the active leader. Only one other active player is in the Top-1000 all-time: Yuli Gurriel, at 963rd with 7.86 ABs per K.
Oof, that price tag would scare me
One name to watch for the Astros pursuit of a pitcher is Edward Cabrera from Miami. He isn't a free agent till 2029 and would be a major boost to the rotation.
I fear any top of the rotation arm with an extra year of control is going to cost Brice Matthews, and if you thought the reaction to trading Joey Loperfido was bad, you just wait…
The Astros are pursuing a top of the rotation starter, per @Ken_Rosenthal They are also looking for a left handed 2nd baseman or reliever he said as well.
I have never seen a pitcher’s throw to 1B hit the outfield wall…
The Dodgers bullpen is a sight to behold
Completely healthy lineup: 1. Jeremy Peña, SS 2. Jose Altuve, LF 3. Yordan Alvarez, DH 4. Christian Walker, 1B 5. Isaac Paredes, 3B 6. Cam Smith, RF 7. Yainer Diaz, C 8. Jake Meyers, CF 9. Brice Matthews, 2B Will we see this lineup this year?
Can I say this too: Todd Kalas is an elite announcer. What a call.
And now Brice Matthews starts a game-ending double play!
Hey remember when the Astros started Brendan Rodgers at 2B with Brice Matthews in the minors?
And Brice Matthews starts a slick 4-6-3 to end this game. This kid isn't going anywhere.
Baseball fans seeing the Astros pump out another instant impact rookie out of the “worst” farm system in baseball.
The kid does it again Brice Matthews' 3rd HR in 2 games gives the @Astros the lead!
