"We feel that the Astros playing this weekend will provide a much-needed boost for our city," Houston mayor Sylvester Turner said in a statement. "With all of the difficulties that many of our citizens are facing, the games will provide an opportunity for families to start returning to some aspect of normal life." http://m.astros.mlb.com/news/article/251459366/astros-to-play-mets-in-h…
What? With shelters as full as they are, if Minute Maid is dry enough to play a ball game, it's dry enough to shelter people who have no home. MLB and Houston mayor sound dreadfully tone-deaf. I'm disappointed in the MLB.

That's a shame their GM is that stingy on NOT saving the team's owner a good chunk of money by eating $15-20M and maybe getting a prospect that can rank probably 8th to 12th in their organization, along with Lackey to help them lose games and get a higher draft pick. I'd really like to see the Cubs land Verlander. He can be very effective as a 4 or 5. And if he regresses, in the future, I do think he can be a strength in the bullpen, as he can still throw heat. If he had to just get three outs, I think he'd be hitting 100 on the radar with no problem.

Dang Brewers didn't get the memo -- won series @COL and @LAD, then knocked Gio Gonzo around tonight. Cards were supposed to face MadBum -- but he missed the game with the "flu". Check Matheny's pockets for empty vials.

Seriously. I'm officially concerned we aren't gaining more ground while we are in an incredibly soft schedule and they are in a brutal stretch. Maybe they are the real deal. Could be an interesting month. As long as we keep beating up on bad teams, all will be fine.

To pinch run, be a defensive replacement late in games (better than Jay in the OF) and play in the meaningless games at the end of the month. Do not know why they did not get Jose Reyes or Erick Aybar to back-up SS this month. I guess they think highly of Mike Freeman. Also FWIW, Harold Reynolds on MLB Tonight was throwing out that maybe Heyward was in their offer for Verlander to even out some money. That could make some sense cause it would have been the only way to add Verlander and stay under the luxury tax and the repeat offender penalty.

    I don’t buy that. They had been doing that for years.

    They did it with Matt Holliday. They did it with John Lackey. They did it with Mark Mulder. They did it with Jason Heyward, who had a great year for them. I’m sure there’s more but those come to mind immediately.

    I attribute it more to a breakdown in what they’re doing in terms of development than a culture thing.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    They won those trades and sacrificed their culture. That’s exactly their problem.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    The other part that’s kind of crazy is they made two very high profile trades, one for Goldschmidt and one for Arenado, and they very clearly won those trades. They just haven’t been able to develop players the last handful of years the way they usually do.

    I guess the moral there is it’s hard to stay on top of your game and be good at what you do in perpetuity.

    Marmol was extended at the beginning of the year. Two years I believe.

    Craig Counsell doesn’t have a timetable for Cody Bellinger who technically has two cracked ribs on his right side. CT scan showed it today.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far. 

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

  • crunch (view)

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

  • crunch (view)

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.
