Houston Astros Baseball & MLB Discussions

Pleased to have Framber back. I really felt like he grew as a pitcher this last season. I’m expecting big things out of him.

With this being his walk year I expect the absolute best from Framber.

He’s gonna wind up taking less to go to Boston than what the Astros initially offered.

Boras strikes again.

I always thought we (Astros fans) probably overvalued him. Leadership and intangibles certainly matter, but they matter a lot less when production fails.

He is a fan favorite in Houston. He is not anywhere else.

In Houston we would overlook his slow starts because we liked him and we had come to expect him to turn it on later in the season.

The rest of the league sees it as if you suck for 60 games you are only good for 100 games.

haven’t been able to keep up with everything here

whats the skinny on Bregman - is he for sure leaving or is there still a chance he stays an Astro?

We have a 3B and 1B. Where would he play? Breg is done as an Astro.

He was most valuable to the Astros (fan favorite, clubhouse, etc) and overplayed his hand. I think he’s learning that.

He let Boras overplay his hand….you would think these guys would learn….whatever.

I think Detroit makes a lot of sense.

The problem is the media is afraid of Boras. They should be kicking his #%. I mean the real sports media like the Chicago guys and some in the NY market. Not the fake #% Sporting News and SI or Fansided
