Come on Astros!!!!! Bregman isn't in the same area as the 3 I mentioned, but he's definitely not an easy guy to root for either. Did we all forget that just last year he acted like a pissy middle schooler towards a fan on twitter? 2 minutes ago, Texansfan713 said: coming from a guy whose team is 1. eliminated already and 2. have Addison Russell. oh 1. The failures of the 2018 Cubs have nothing to do with how hateable the 2018 Astros are. 2. The big, big difference here is that my team will be actively MOVING ON from the abuser, whereas your team actively ACQUIRED the abuser, fully knowing that he was an abuser when they made the trade.

No we didn't forget, part of why I threw Bregs into that group was because I knew some people would disagree and it would ruffle some feathers. He is arrogant, he can be a dbag, but that's all a part of why I love him. He's not a dbag in the actual scumbag way, just in the fun, cocky way. The one exception was the tweet incident but there was a lot more to it than originally let on, the fan had posted a bunch of negative stuff about Bregman and @'ed him in it and Bregman responded. Still not something you'd expect a pro athlete to do, but not quite as bad as just imagining a fan saying "Trade Bregman for Sale" and Bregs going after this guy just for that. I'll also add I definitely don't think Gurriel and McCann are anywhere near the same level as Osuna on the likability scale. He's definitely much further down in my eyes.

Texansfan713 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Hell of a start by Verlander. Hopefully Pressly can get out the inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartica4Real Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Ground ball could've been an inning ending double play with no runs, but a wild pitch makes sure they get 2 out of it. That sucks. Still, feel pretty good in a battle of the bullpens with a 2 run lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartica4Real Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Machete was such a good, underrated addition. Hell, so was Pressly. Everyone focused on the Osuna trade so much (understandable...) but those 2 really flew under the radar and have been fantastic here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
