    That’s a great recap of the Astros past 24 hours. For an organization that has had so much recent success, they show time and time again how they are a second class at best organization.

    does anybody not see the YUGE problem that arises from this current voice to reporter non scuffle word salad of a drunk, happy, albeit dumb in the moment man. no? ok. ill make it real easy for those in the back. this itself has become a bigger issue than osuna or osuna’s actions that heretofore made this now scandalous rowdiness

    what a joke that the words one says (yes they were dumb and no i do not even like or root for osuna) are no equal to the actual actions osuna undertook for this to become a public (and private) situation. what a joke. words are not violence

    let me do some hard guessing. hmm. were all of these reporters who got offended by words, democrats. hmm. think that over for a second. we know the media is liberal over the too crazy. im gonna guess these mad reporters were democrats. over the last few years only a select group of people have put the words of one over their actions. this select group of people who get offended by every other word, democrats! ha

      and yet, republicans go full snowflake at the slightest set of words.

      here, i’ll just say the secret words to trigger you snowflakes:

      god isn’t real, jesus christ never existed, and anyone who believes in jesus is mentally insane.

      there, i’m sure you’ll respond to this without frothing at the mouth (oh wait, you’re republican, not a chance in hell you’ll reply with anything but lame insults).

        Nope. A real conservative doesn’t care what you believe, because it’s your right. It’s only when you get in peoples’ faces about it and try to force your beliefs on the rest of us that we have a problem.

      There’s a large difference between “making things political” and “twisting things around to fit a bizarre narrative that’s completely unrelated to the topic at hand”, a difference that you somehow can’t comprehend. But you do you.

    wait til you guys (and gals) find out that every decision made in life has political implications. wait til you find out FBI agents can have political leanings and bias towards certain political parties and candidates. and that those biases can affect their work during and after a presidential election. wait til the flood gates break, or open your darn eyes now and see the bias everywhere. these words are not violence. they are words. actions may be violent. words can be violet or mean (get it).

    so come back in a year and complain about another individual making you look stupid. how is that even possible. trudeau just came out a huge racist who loves to use show polish over his entire body to appropriate his racism. he won an election while confessing he is openly racist and loves to paint his entire body in shoe polish. this loser won easily yesterday. his racism made nobody else look like a racist, just a fool

    If the angels don’t land Cole then I consider their offseason a fail, they needed him more then any other contending team, They also need Odorizzi or wheeler

      They can acquire Cole, Odorizzi or Wheeler, and Rendon – and they still won’t be able to compete with the Astros – and perhaps the A’s – in 2020.

      The Angles need to develop their own players – both in the high minors and on the ML roster.

      Bringing Mickey Callaway on as Pitching Coach would be a step in the right direction.

        If they add to the rotation and can have everyone healthy , they can contend for a wildcard , That has been their problem ever since signing Hamilton the last 7 years.

      The discussions of these kinds of things are basically never “valuable”, and more often than not they turn into just idiotic back and forths and people being dumb when the comments are left open.

      funny, the rest of the time, republicans wanted people like osuna deported.

      guess when he can do something for you, it’s cool.

      of course, the guy pays more in taxes this year alone than 99.99999 percent of the people that root for the guy (hell, it’s not like republicans actually pay taxes anyways).

    figures the astros thing brings out the right wing idiots.

    why are you all on here?

    didn’t donnie dum-dum get you guys jobs like he promised?

    oh wait, you guys are on welfare like the majority of right wing nutjobs (but yet somehow can still afford booze, guns, and jesus).

    it’d be nice if any of you actually contributed to society, but i’m not sure drug abuse and incest counts as contributing.

    So let me get this straight, the mods can comment on certain topics but think we shouldn’t comment. So basically, your opinions should be heard and ours shouldn’t, got it. That’s a pretty petty and selfish look for the mods.

          The big difference is that the writers on MLBTR are not anonymous. Both the reasonable people and the trolls are. It’s a sensitive subject, and if everyone could be counted on to post reasonable, well considered opinions, then they would open the comments sections. Unfortunately there are too many trolls using the anonymity to post garbage to do that.

    MLBTR is really upset that the Astros beat the Yankees. If the Yankees were in MLBTR would be going into great detail about 27 and how important this is to MLB. They would have an article about every player on the Yankees. Now it’s like a chore having to cover the World Series. “Uhhh, do I have to write an article asking who might win? No one really cares do they?”

      If Harper or Machado was on the Astros there would have be a dozen articles on how they’re leading the team to the promised land.

      Have you noticed that they routinely refer to well over 30 MLB players as “superstars”? Hyperbole anyone?

      It’s sort of like the star/hands/feet in cement around Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in LA. There long ago were so many that the trail winds around multiple side streets for miles. Last time I was there I saw one for a guy whose claim to fame is that he makes info-commercials for cable TV.

      In my generation baseball fans celebrated the sport and focused on the WS for 10 days to 2 weeks.

      For the last 35-40 years fans of individual teams that don’t make the WS complain about their owners, FO’s, managers and players; then start arguing about who their team should sign or trade for while ripping all aspects of the 2 teams that made the WS.
