Didn't catch this earlier, but McTaggart tweeting: Jeff Keppinger left tonight's game with lower back tightness.

JD mentioned it. Probably a result of the plunking.

DLee Ks for the 3rd time tonight (0-4), having been a career 17 for 34 against Myers.
Ramirez strikes out swinging. Myers with 11 on the night. 2 out, runner on 1B.

That was a really enjoyable game to watch on the TV. The Astros 7th was beautiful. Think there's any chance whatsoever that Cooper would've had Bourgeois steal 2nd there, instead of just bunting him over?
At this point, the Astros might be able to get almost as much for Myers as they would Oswalt. I am also surprised at the lack of trade "chatter" around him.

We aren't trading Hunter unless the Tigers agree to throw in Dontrelle. -PamG
Maybe that's the reson for hiring Bagwell as hitting coach. He can distract Pam while Wade convinces Drayton to trade Pence!!!. |

Not according to the MLBTR 'Elias tracker,' which has been fairly accurate. It had him 10 pts below qualifying to be a Type B as of a couple of weeks ago, but I'm sure he's closer after his last couple of starts. Hope I'm wrong (and that'd certainly be a reason to keep him), but the injury time last year hurt his status.
As of Monday, he was 2 points out of Type B status. There is no chance in hell he goes Type A. Not trading him is indefensible. |

Of course it's defensible. |

Getting anything back for him is better than nothing. And you can sign him again after the season without giving anything up, so what's the defense for it? |

Are there examples of a good player being traded to a different team mid-season and then signing with the team that traded him for the next season? |

Even when you suck you need good pitching. He's got the option for next year. It is entirely possible that the team you trade him to this year will lock up his option for next year. Meaning you wouldn't get him back. Too, if the Astros are offered only AAAA talent in exchange what would be the point of dealing him? |

I cannot even fathom what kind of CooperFuck would've occured in that scenario, with the pitcher due up but a PHer already on deck. I cannot fathom it, because whenever I imagined the most fucked up thing Cooper could do in a given situation, he would come up with something worse. |

I am in love with the title of this thread. Much laffing was done.
M, my FTC-fan friend who lives in Houston, was given club tickets by a season ticket holder friend who couldn't make the game. Not only did the FTCs lose, but her younger son, who adamantly roots against the FTCs (good boy!) just to annoy his mother, got a foul from one of our boys, possibly Sanchez.
Always a great game when a FTC-fan friend of mine goes to see the Astros beat the FTCs.
