Yeah, we'll never know the details of the "settlement", which isn't surprising. I'm a lifelong diehard Astros fan and it really bothered me when they signed him. He can pitch, sure...but I wonder what that truly did to the clubhouse.
As for the game last night, McHugh should have come in instead of Osuna. The Astros need to start hitting asap. It wouldn't surprise me if AJ switches up the lineup a bit tonight.

Let's just say that Chapman got 30 games for choking his girlfriend and shooting a gun into a wall. Reyes got 50 games for choking his wife and throwing her into a glass door. I am no fan of Chapman and it sucks having to root for him, but for 75 games on a hush hush settlement, it has to be significantly worse than those, right?

One would think. I really wish he wasn't on the team.
That's how I feel about Addison Russell now. (Not that I didn't feel that way before Melisa's blog post, with his .240 career average and 38 RBI this season).
Another silly "unwritten rule" about stealing signs... uhg.
So, why not just watch the damn televised game and get the signals from there? You'd never have to be anywhere near the dugouts or game itself. Just watch the tv and see the pitches and you'll learn what the signs are.
If they are watching for the Swing or Take signs then I guess they'd have to be in the ball park.
This is silly for another reason. Analytics.
There is data on EVERY single scenario out there. If Betts has an 2-0 count on him there is data if he swings or not, if he chases a down and away pitch or not.
Baseball is becoming Texas Hold em now. If you know the odds/percentages then you go with them. "Gut feeling" of play will be eliminated all together soon enough. So bye bye to the Buck Showalters of the world because this IS baseball now.
Yeah, it suck they're trying to take out the "Gut feeling" of baseball.
Why couldn't the Dodgers play like this 4 years ago?
cuz they had an inferior manager?

Love playoff baseball but these games are just too fucking long. Almost 10pm central time and it's only top 5th....no chance I'm making it to the end of this game. Don't know how you east coast people do it...

Now if the rest of the team would start hitting...
Altuve with a cool laydown bunt yesterday.
Good pitching from Keuchel and Eoavaldi.
Bradley Jr with the Grand slam.
Kemp made one hell of a catch.
Good game up until that GS.

Been reading they are making this a big deal. (As Cliffy posted some info about it)
Lets see what MLB does.
But, we're just a bunch of old seem-heads?
And I bet MLB does what it normally does...waits for it to blow over and slinks away like Carl Spackler after he blew up Bushwood.
You're probably right on what MLB will do. But "IF" they do something, maybe a fine? lost of Draft pick/s?
Betts would not have caught it though...
cuz they had an inferior manager?
