Astros 1B have an wRC+ of 87 (OPS .669) since the start of 2022. Astros CF have an wRC+ of 91 (OPS .681) since the start of 2022. Astros Mob over last offseason: We need an OF. Astros Mob over last offseason: We need a guy that can hit RHP that plays the OF. Not saying there weren't dissenters from the mob or that the Astros 1B didn't hit well in a small sample sizes in the postseason the past 2 years. I expect Abreu is going to have some hot stretches. I just am not expecting him to be 100% a vast majority of the time. I'll be happy if he does, but I would have rather had a better backup option than Singleton. I'd be fine if the Astros would play DIaz at 1B on his catching off days.
Dodgers separated the wife and husband so they can interrogate, or rip them off. They told them if they leave without the trade for the home run ball, they will not authenticate the baseball. Then Shoehei told the media that he talked and met with the fan with the ball except the lady that caught the ball never met Ohtani that night. The Dodgers will make it right eventually, but to start what a POS organization!!!!!!
Another starter off the table at the trade deadline to go after. Shane Bieber needs tjs. Unfortunate for him since it was looking like he was bouncing back and he's a free agent. He was being shopped in the off season. Thankfully Houston didn't acquire him.

I know its too early to judge the Astros or start blaming. But part of me really, really wants to lash out at someone. But who?
