    Astros are 2 games worse than 2024.

    Avoid the SWEEP.

    Astros match up well with the Cubs. Could be a sweep that draws us all back in with false hope.

    WalKKKer. He quit hitting anything.

    3 for his last 25 in 7+ games. A .120 average.

    Walker back to his old self. Should have traded him 3 weeks ago while his stock was at its peak.

    Because GMs react to 1 month sample sizes and think 35 year olds suddenly become 1.000 OPS hitters out of nowhere?

    maybe… just maybe, other gm’s wanted to wait to see if he fell back down to earth as well. Yall act like gm’s can make the trade they want by pressing a button on mlb the show.

    Besides I’d rather keep walker right now. Glove is still elite, and i think he’ll still have a decent season
