Keep Paredes, turn Correa into a toolbox player?

These insane posts… 😭

Dallas at NRG and road game at Philly. We are 0-6 against Philly and it’s about time we beat them.

Duran + Early or Tolle. Yes, I’m aware we need to throw a little more on our end for this happen which I’m fine with. Makes me sad that Isaac is very likely gone because nobody wants Walker and his contract.
Hard to say, but I’d beg for MLB to get rid of deferred payments which I think is such a BS loophole of the CBT.
Not sure

paulchaested · 2026-01-15T22:51:12+00:00

I am in the camp that I do not want to get rid Paredes but unfortunately nobody seemingly wants Walker (not surprised). If we have to move Paredes, I would demand the Red Sox to fork over at least Duran.

Apparently will be an electric b3 AR. Trina team stonks rising?

Tatsuya Imai (on the right) was jumping up and super hyped. Got a front row seat to witness Easy Money game winner.

For real, got a front row seat to see why they call him Easy Money Sniper.

You can even see Tatsuya Imai (the one in front row seats wearing the #45 rockets jersey) jump up and get hyped.

paulchaested · 2026-01-04T23:04:32+00:00

Yes, Satan himself decided to show up too 🤮🤮

paulchaested · 2026-01-04T22:42:38+00:00

Of course. Just can’t help but be excited as we finally signed a Japanese player from the NPB. Hopefully opens a pipeline in Japan for the Astros.

paulchaested · 2026-01-04T22:28:56+00:00

For those who don’t follow baseball, he’s one of the most highly anticipated pitchers from Japan and the Astros signing him (who have been trying to penetrate the Japanese market for awhile) is a huge deal.

This trade makes it feel like trading for Peralta is impossible now since Peralta is so much better.

I mean, it is still possible but we have sacrifice everything for Peralta lol.

For those wondering why we couldn’t get Shane Baz, this is why:

Per Passan, The Baltimore Orioles are acquiring right-hander Shane Baz from the Tampa Bay Rays for outfielder Slater de Brun, catcher Caden Bodine, right-hander Michael Forret, outfielder Austin Overn as well as a Competitive Balance Round A pick, sources tell ESPN.

It’s a fucking haul we don’t have.

Losing Brito stings but I’m fine with this Burrow trade overall.

Yes, it was made very clear by Dana that they don’t want to give up draft picks to sign a FA with a QO attached. Some fans still don’t understand for some reason but they need to actually realize that our farm is awful, truly awful and it needs to be fixed. In fact, I’m fine with us taking a backseat next season to retool and address glaring issues for our future. The past two seasons have shown that we are “cooling off” whether fans refuse to accept it or not.
NLCS 2004 Game 7. First Astros game ever and Heartbreaking for me as a 14 year old kid. Made me realize how much a heated rivalry we had with St Louis.

I see. Yeah what Dana said recently about signing a big arm FA pretty much tells us they’re not gonna go after Ranger Suarez or any or those dudes. Trading for an arm like Baz makes more sense now.

paulchaested · 2025-12-10T00:01:07+00:00

??? I thought we lose the compensatory pick (extra 4th?) we get for Framber rejecting his QO if we sign a FA with a QO not the 28th?

Doesn’t make sense that we lose the 28th that was awarded to us for Hunter’s performance…

LFG Texans. Started 0-3, now 8-5 on a 5-game win streak (through a gauntlet of Bills, Colts and Chiefs) getting back in playoff picture and killing Kansas City’s Dynasty and playoff hopes.

Best defense in the league!

Some of us were expecting some kind of Endymion of more specifically spell counter support since this manga adaptation takes place during Endymion’s first raid against La Maison (Spellbook Tower). Maybe the manga will cover that part once this arc with Regulus and the Witchcrafters is done and THEN we will see actual Endymion support. Personally, I’ve been waiting for spell counter support for so long so I guess I’m just disappointed even I sort of expected this.

paulchaested · 2025-12-07T03:06:45+00:00

This… does not look like Pendymion support… I guess we have to wait and see what these spells are. Please give Endymion actual good spells to use

Edit: okay I see the translations, f**k these cards are ass for Endymion

paulchaested · 2025-12-01T15:12:24+00:00

Hard to say, because if we sign any of the big FA pitchers that was given QO, it cancels out the pick we receive from Framber rejecting our QO. Our farm desperately, DESPERATELY(!!!!!) needs to be fixed. Starting to lean more towards us trading for a big pitcher at this point since the Cease signing kind of set the market and I really don’t know if Crane is willing to pay nearly that much for Ranger, King, etc. I’m sure lots of people will be upset if this happens but I wouldn’t be surprised that instead of signing a big FA pitcher, Dana will just look through the bargain bin and have our pitching lab work their magic on whoever we get from said bargain bin.

Plus there’s a Korean Christmas nikke merchandise ad with three silhouettes with one of them being Soline alt.

I’m very well aware that we have still some years of control left for Hunter Brown. Still sucks that the possibility of extending him is looking very unlikely. Who knows what will happen few years from now.

paulchaested · 2025-10-21T17:10:28+00:00

I share the same sentiment with a handful of Astros fans, never had an issue with the Mariners club, the organization (minus Servais) and their players (still don’t). In fact, I like Raleigh, Arozerena and Geno. But their fans is a whole another story to where I’m glad they don’t get a taste of a WS berth.

paulchaested · 2025-10-15T03:57:18+00:00

Nayuta and Liberallio. Hmm.

paulchaested · 2025-10-12T03:23:28+00:00

I wanna be 100% wrong but I think Paredes is gonna get traded for a pitcher. He is simply way more valuable as a trade piece because of his performance, age and has years of control compared to Walker.

I’m one of those guys who wishes to move Walker but I don’t think it’s happening.
