Dana did try to pump up team yesterday with "we are not selling at deadline" and team responds like this. Ofcourse even if Dana is smarter and thinking should sell he can't say that publicly especially when his contract is running out. Probably can't ask extension after saying we need to burn this down. 70ish games way under .500. Javier and Diaz coming back most likely not improvement. If Diaz gets on 1 more hot streak trade him on higher note rather than let him swat flies for year after that. No reason to hang Astros destiny to his. I believe in this team and believe that even with Joe we can play second half .500.
Stat-pad L = major differential damage Astros have made no progress toward 500 since the peak of the barely awesome 4-game winning streak. Only needed 3 pitchers, so there's that. .
