If I had to make an over/under on his wRC+ next year, i'd go 115, 120?
4:53
Something in that range
Paul Sporer
4:53
Gimme a HR/SB count for fantasy
Ben Clemens
4:53
hm
I'm a little worried the Rays will semi-platoon him
Not heavily, just sometimes
4:54
so let's say 500 PA, 18HR, 15SB?
Actually, higher on the SB
20 SB
4:55
with decent average to go along with it, but not amazing
Quarantino Martinez

To Liam: I know you pitched 3 yesterday. We just need you for another 4 today...
Joe
4:56
hoo boy
Ben Clemens

I assume the A's were hoping they could get away with no Hendriks today
So that they could really go wild with him tomorrow
But if it's close late he's coming in
4:58
Welp
I guess this isn't 2019 Montas
Paul Sporer
4:58
Ughhhhh
Trent Hauser

I would like more Matt Olson info. Is he the kind of player who may age extremely well? Gigantic and well rounded (great glove too) with one very obvious not crazy unique flaw
Ben Clemens
4:59
May age extremely well? Sure. Will? I'm not sure I believe much research I've seen on which types of players age well

The cheating was bad enough, but this whole "nobody believes in us"/revenge narrative nonsense is just too much. Like, who are you getting revenge on? The other people that didn't obviously and blatantly cheat for an extended period of time?
Ben Clemens
5:00
I realllllly hate "nobody believes in us" as a narrative
But particularly for a team with 87 All Stars
Paul Sporer
5:01
Look, they deserve all the heat they got, but the chip on their shoulder is definitely doing some work in Houston
Ben Clemens
5:01
Bregman is an excellent heel, I think. He does a great job of acting like the villain
Correa's nonsense just falls flat
I think Bregman's feels performative
Maybe I'm wrong about Correa, but he just seems aggrieved
And like, what are you aggrieved about?

re: amazing catches -- Devon White, Toronto Blue Jays, 1992 WS and the blown triple play call:
Derek
5:02
Honestly I think the overwhelming amount of talent on their roster is doing much more work than a completely fabricated chip on their shoulder
Paul Sporer
5:02
*sigh*, sick take
5:03
Like I didn't realize it was the talent... my eyes have rolled out of my head
Ben Clemens
5:03
What I'm so confused by is, are there even any analysts/commentators saying the Astros are bad now?
Paul Sporer
5:04
Some of y'all are so bent on being anti-narrative that you act like NO outside factors can possibly impact these dudes. It's so nauseating
Ben Clemens
5:04
Haha I think it probably helps them
I think every team tells themselves that nobody believes in them, though
5:05
I don't follow Houston enough to know what every player there thinks of this
Jkim
5:05
If the Astros win it all this year I don't think I can stomach watching MLB for a few years
Paul Sporer
5:05
Really?!
