How many more injuries can the Houston Astros overcome?

It's been a rough year for the Astros on the injury front, with Justin Verlander's scratched Saturday start the latest one. Is that the fault of their training / medical staff? #Astros #HoustonAstros #JustinVerlander

Why doesn’t a reporter call out someone at a press conference?

1. Sign Trevor Bauer 2. Put Justin Verlander on IR 3. Trade Alex Bregman 4. Prep Jake Bloss for 2025 5. Put Joey Loperfido at 1st 6. Put Mauricio Dubon at 3rd 7. EXTEND KYLE TUCKER 8. Fire Jeff Bagwell 9. Fire Joe Espada 10. Give Dana Brown 1 more chance to get his ship in order THIS SHOULDN’T BE THAT DIFFICULT!!

[@Daniel-rc2bu]

I'd give Espada at least 1 more year. He is a rookie manager and he wasn't delt the best hand. I want a year of Espada and Brown with no Bagwell and no Crane having so much input in roster moves/use.

[@Michael-kf7gm]

@@Daniel-rc2bu I can get behind that. Crane and Bagwell woke up one morning and thought they were both Lunhow.

[@joeydeemendoza]

​@@Daniel-rc2buAgreed personally im willing to give Joe Espada 1 more chance due to the circumstances of this season between aging players, underperformances and injuries, and his 1st official year as a manager. I believe in Espada and I am willing to go on the record that had he had the tools to succeed he would be having a much better season.

Wow we should pay you

@@o0e0l For what? Exercising common sense?

[@christianedwardsen7585]

It sucks not knowing things but it has nothing to do with the player's health or how quickly they come back.

[@7wpollard]

When actually was that interview with Verlander? He said, "It's playoff time" in the interview you played back.

[@kturetsky]

Get Bauer!

[@TexasTagz]

This is just me… I think JV is tanking his stock so he can go to a team and not demand high value in return.

[@Michael-kf7gm]

But then he loses out on $35 million next season, so that doesn’t make any sense.

[@TexasTagz]

@@Michael-kf7gm how would he lose that he will get paid wherever he goes.

[@Michael-kf7gm]

@@TexasTagz If he tanks his value, he won’t earn $35 million. He’ll get paid a lot less. He only is guaranteed that money if he pitches 140 innings. If he is out injured, he won’t hit that threshold and loses that contractual year.

[@TexasTagz]

@@Michael-kf7gm he will want to be traded

[@Michael-kf7gm]

@@TexasTagz You talked to him and he told you this? My guess is the answer is no.
