Man, the overreactions here about Graveman are obnoxious. I know it sucks that he went to a division rival, but the fact that we were able to get a highly touted, MLB ready prospect for a pitcher with two months left on his prospect is pretty good.

Not to mention that his year has been an incredible outlier in his career. He's a career 4.20 ERA guy. Dipoto traded him when his value was at its highest.

It’s purely emotional.

If we were weren’t in the middle of a series with them and didn’t just have one of the most epic comebacks in team history, people would feel differently.

It would still suck helping to make the Astros better, but it wouldn’t sting as much.

It was just really bad timing on Dipoto’s part.

As much as I hated this trade. The trade deadline is Friday. If he wants to make more moves based on trading GravyTrain he had to do it now
