Click made some mid-season deals for some second tier players and whiffed on a few preferred targets.  As an Astros fan, I’m ok with this. But I also acknowledge that the Click family was very philanthropic within the Houston community and will be missed. From what I’ve gathered he and his family really loved the Houston area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope Crane (the owner) decides not to go ‘Jerry Jones’. That’ll not have a pleasant outcome if that’s the case. Edited November 15, 2022 by Naturalhoosier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Once again I watched a couple of podcasts and MLB networks and the analytical geeks infuriated me. One show was trying to grade the trade deadline trades and the other was Brian McKinney talking about the HOF. Both of these guys came off as arrogant aholes because of how the talk down to fans who don't use analytics as the de reasoning behind their opinions. They say some fans just look at this stuff but the smart baseball fans no more what to look for. Right there is why I despise the computer geeks who started all of these analytics. I also read a little story about how for Astros Jeff Bagwell thinks the Astros use analytics to much. He said the game is played by humans and the stats don't tell the whole story. The response from that article is comical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been on the DL at some point in 7 of 8 seasons so maybe the Giants caught a break there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
