Great for the team and great for Altuve. On a related note, I worry the next bargaining round will be a tough one. From the players' side, they really need to fight for a way for elite talent to get paid more appropriately for their talent faster, especially now that teams seem to have wised up and are not overpaying and overextending aging talent. So, those players are not making up income lost early, when some of them are criminally underpaid, by being overpaid later in their career as much.Originally posted by madducks View PostComment

The Astros bullpen is really deep if they can leave pitchers off their ALDS roster like Hector Rondon, Chris Devenski, Brad Peacock, and Joe Smith.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Yes, yes it is. Though leaving off Peacock sure appears to be too much of "what have you done for me lately" thinking.Originally posted by madducks View PostI'm just here for the baseball.

every time I see that Seitzer has posted in the Astros thread I get little bit excited.It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.Comment

Did the Astros pull some bullshit yesterday regarding the heat and the Indians practicing?"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

I didn't realize that you left the Astros. Good luck in your future endeavors. Will you be wearing the World Series ring to job interviews?Originally posted by Kevin Seitzer View Post“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

hey, c'mon up here, we've got the best hitting prospect in the game, a SP prospect hitting 104 in Arizona, gov't funded health care, and an almost healthy Kahwi to watch (which I gotta say has been incredibly fun).It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.Comment
