@michaelschwab13 They should claim him. $5MMish if they buy him out after the year. But maybe he just needs another change of scenery. I know it's not my money, this seems like a worthwhile risk. No offense to Velazquez, but he doesn't seem to be a major leaguer for a team trying to win.

[Ostrow @StreezyFBaby]

@michaelschwab13 Even though he hasn't been good this year, and even if he can't beat out Trammell for LF, I'd still rather a PH an from him instead of Dezenzo (who he'd probably replace) and probably Wade

[Ostrow @StreezyFBaby]

@11Yanks He forgot to implement the, teach Ds how to mark their man on crosses & dont have the goalie gift a goal tactics
Maybe not putting in a puppet coach at the start of the cycle & getting Poch here for the full 4 years to build cohesion, see & recruit other players might have helped

@EinSchwarzwelt Shared ancestry

[Ostrow @StreezyFBaby]

@TheAstrosLocker The Brewers pitching lab is going to work wonders with him

[Ostrow @StreezyFBaby]

@BimaThug And again

[Ostrow @StreezyFBaby]

@JTGatlin Castle would be so much worse on the Rockets with its spacing. We'd be looking at 90s scores of 82-78.

[Ostrow @StreezyFBaby]

@MLB What metrics put Schwarber in over Yordan?

[Ostrow @StreezyFBaby]

@michaelschwab13 If he hit like this last year, I wonder what the team would look like this year. Do they trade for Correa? It feels like no. And that's a large chunk of salary to be used elsewhere (starting pitching)

[Ostrow @StreezyFBaby]

@AstrosFuture How often do players received in a monster deal actually pan out as worth it? Almost never. So you can make those deals, but the success rate has to be low

[Ostrow @StreezyFBaby]

@michaelschwab13 Absolutely not. They can't afford any arm fatigue given these last 2 seasons. Other years I would say yes

[Ostrow @StreezyFBaby]

@TheAstrosLocker Also, I remember McCann and the national post game crew talking about the Astros giving multiple signs even with no one on base and McCann not saying why, but the post game crew saying, o, they're stealing signs (or something like that) and no one batted an eye

[Ostrow @StreezyFBaby]

@RedNinetyFour Or he's traded for a slasher(non playmaker, non shooter, non elite NBA athlete) 2/3/4 like a Keegan Murray

[Ostrow @StreezyFBaby]

@RedNinetyFour Fred will be the starter and Reed will play 10-15 minutes per game. I'll say your hunch for you lol

[Ostrow @StreezyFBaby]

@juanmarcosv @broncos2121 @HPbasketball They had a live video of him during the lottery. He was the guaranteed 1st pick in the draft for 2 yrs. The only person who didn't think he should be the first pick was Scoot Henderson. Maybe some people questioned if he would be a good as projected but he was always 1

[Ostrow @StreezyFBaby]

@HPbasketball When they've been bad, they've gotten generational prospects. Their organization has been good, but it helps getting 2 of the top 3 can't miss prospects in the last 30 years. They certainly built around Duncan well, be they've had incredible lottery luck

[Ostrow @StreezyFBaby]

@RedNinetyFour Even if you want to develop Amen at 1, it's malpractice to not have Reed in the court with him. Havin him learn PG with 1 shooter, 2 half shooters (Bari/Tari/Josh)&a nonshooter (Alpi) is setting him up for failure as a nonshooter. Cant play PnR game with 3 defenders in the paint

[Ostrow @StreezyFBaby]

@JTGatlin And what do you know, the guy you refused to play in less meaningful games looks off and disconnected in the important game. If there was only a way to get him reps, say 82 times before

[Ostrow @StreezyFBaby]

@HPbasketball Without that, the "data" can't be right. For (an extreme) example, if Team A sets 100 moving screens & is called for 3 & Team B sets 10 & is called for 2 the "data" we have should suggest Team A actually gets a worse whistle, even though it's a way better whistle

[Ostrow @StreezyFBaby]

@HPbasketball There's no way to calculate this data unless someone watches every game played by every team multiple times, determines what is called a foul for physical play, and then watches every game and determines each teams' % of foul calls for similar contact.
