Odor should have been banned from baseball for that cheap shot. Or, at least, a 100 game suspension.
This seems like the last contest we actually won.
Kyle Tucker? Going to turn it around yet this year? I'm thinking adjustment at MLB level and then he'll be good.This is why I don't give much of a damn when haterz try to slam the Astros by claiming they tanked. It isn't like basketball where you can lose on purpose and make a few no-brainer No. 1 picks.

Cheap shot?
Best day in baseball ever.Nolan Ryan and Ivan Rodriguez should both be banned from the HOF for this horrific tag team cheap shotting of poor Robin Ventura.
Take solace in the fact that you guys sold high.The Twins just traded Eduardo Escobar to the D-backs.
I believe his brother was disciplined for giving a forcible HJ to a kid in the minors, so there is.... that.Odor should have been banned from baseball for that cheap shot. Or, at least, a 100 game suspension.
Hopefully. They also dealt Ryan Pressly to the Astros for a couple double A guys, RHP Jorge Acala and OF Gilberto Celestino. [MENTION=85]Kbrown[/MENTION] you know anything about those guys? Pressly is a very good setup guy, who is still under contract for next year so you guys got a good one.Take solace in the fact that you guys sold high.
I don't have particular knowledge, but everything I've read says they are high-ceiling guys.Hopefully.

From MLB.com
Pressly has been enjoying a very good season, posting a 3.40 ERA with 69 strikeouts and 19 walks in 47 2/3 innings. The spin-rate on his four-seam fastball is the fifth-highest in the Majors, while his curveball has the second-highest spin rate.
I'm still waiting for more Rangers to be dealt. I know it won't be much but anything is better than nothing. Was surprised teams were looking at Gallo and nothing on Beltre.Man. The Twins' fire sale is in full swing. Just traded LHP Zach Duke to the M's and RHP Lance Lynn to the Yankees. Brian Dozier next?
There were some slight rumors about a Beltre trade. Doesn't look like its going to happen.Red Social get Ian Kinsler.
I think that's a great move for Boston as it now gives them everyday stability at second base while they wait for Dustin Pedroia to return.
He isn't the player he was 5 years ago but he still excellent in the field and it helps to shore up some things.
Cooks to be the Sawx year!
Yes, it would have been nice to add some power to the lineup as that is really the only thing that they are missing.There were some slight rumors about a Beltre trade. Doesn't look like its going to happen.
I had already braced myself to losing him months ago. I really didnt think he would want to play with a rebuilding team but he's been quoted as saying he wants to come back to the Rangers next season. Guess he just doesn't want to move around anymore. The guy is my favorite active player so I will have that and only that to look forward to.Yes, it would have been nice to add some power to the lineup as that is really the only thing that they are missing.
They are hitting more homers than they did last year with essentially the same lineup, but adding Beltre would have been great.
