I believe the count was 1-2 on Diaz.

I know less about the particulars than you do, but that’s an interesting perspective. It seems like they could never get over the hump before, or after the Morgan trade.

Maybe Morgan doesn’t become a Hall of Famer on the Astros?

I will just make this one last shitty comment. I think the Gomez trade was the worst trade in franchise history because of Fiers and the probably permanent besmirching of the ‘17 title and that whole extraordinary run of teams. The outcome of a single career, even a HOF one, pales—for me—in comparison to that benchmark. I recognize this won’t be true for everyone.

I was told by a good source the Astros thought they needed to separate them. Maybe they thought Wynn had more potential? Maybe Morgan was better with Reds than he would have been with the Astros? Dunno, but Morgan was great after he left, and May and Helms were good too, but not great.

Javier’s Invisiball must be visible in Cleveland. I hope MLB investigates.

Protect those fingers, Ryan.

Very nice play by Peña.

His quick release is sweet to watch.
