Are we allowed to be impressed by judge's 60 hr?

Are we allowed to be impressed by judge's 60 hr? Why wouldn't we be? Although I do believe the Yankees were doing something goofy with their humidor earlier in the year. However that being said, he's actually been a little better on the road. All in all, it's just a damn impressive season. What goes unnoticed, is that he's also stolen 16/19 of bases and played half the season in CF at a respectable level. Ohtani may be a freak of sports nature and he's having an incredible year as well, but Judge is the MVP in my book. |

Tucker is the first full-time Astros OF to reach 100 RBI since 2009.

Tucker is the first full-time Astros OF to reach 100 RBI since 2009. Click needs to focus on extending him this offseason. |

Extend Tucker, Framber, and Javier.
Offer Mancini 4-year $60 million. (Even while slumping with us, he'd be on pace for 30 HR and 80 RBI, and he can play LF or 1B.)
Offer JV $90 million for 2-years.
Trade Urquidy or Garcia for OF help (preferably CF).
Y. Diaz for backup C in 2023.
Hensley as a Utility IFer to replace A. Diaz.
See if Gurriel or Diaz can be re-signed for cheap.
Kick the tires on a Brantley return for cheap.
Sign a veteran reliever to replace Montero (or re-sign Montero).

No Y. Diaz on his birthday. Bregman day off with A. Diaz at 3B.

I wonder if Click could pry Varsho or McCarthy loose from the D-Backs by dangling Garcia and Urquidy as trade bait. The D-Backs could use the pitching and have a surplus of outfielders. |

I think we'd have a better chance with someone like Bryan Reynolds. |

Good start again tonight. Single from Altuve, stolen base from Pena, RBI from Diaz, and 2 strikeouts from LMJ.

This game is more why I'm worried about facing the Rays. Their top-5 pitching keeps them in it just enough for their bats to be pests

We're resting a top-10 hitter today and we've lost the 3rd best hitter in the league halfway through, and, minus a baserunning blunder by Chas, we'd still be leading 2-1 (or 2-0 if the GIDP didn't get muffed). |
