    Probably over paid, but he can win a game that counts he will be worth it.

    Jeff Luhnow said MLB approved the Justin Verlander trade TWO SECONDS before the deadline.

    Who would have guessed in 2014 that the absolutely pitiful Astros would win a division crown just 3 years later? Oh yeah, this guy:[​IMG]
    Here's to hoping that Reiter was not only close to the target, but dead-on accurate.

    I dont know about the WS, but sure people were excited about all the young talent accumulated and it was pretty easy to see the team was going to get better quickly

    I saw that live and it did seem awful fast but not world record fast. You can see at the end there he knows he's got it so he pulls up a bit before reaching the bag.

    I just watched the replay in slo mo. Before making contact, Altuve had already taken his first step. Instead of 90 feet from a dead stop, he only had to go 88 feet with a running start.

    I saw it live, the pitchers immediate reaction was being pissed at himself for missing inside so far, you can see Chirinos immediately saying something to Altuve and it was clear that nobody thought it was anything other than a young pitcher missing a pitch not anything remotely intentional and typical of nothing.

    This was the series that the Rangers refused to switch with the Astros after Hurricane Harvey ravaged Houston

    Cosmic justice?
