The Astros got a world-class human being in Robinson Chirinos.

Usually, on this account, I only talk about the Horned Frogs. But, I feel like this needs to be asked about a professional sports team. Why the heck did the Rangers release Robinson Chirinos and then he signs with the Astros? What gives?

The Astros sweeped up Robinson Chirinos. Nice low-key pickup.

Baseball mind I trust on Robinson Chirinos
-Not very good defensively
-Not good at calling game
-Not good controlling running
-Pull hitter with good power
-Walks
-Tough and teammates love him
-Great influence for Latin players

@jluhnow Robinson Chirinos? That’s your answer for the Astros starting catcher next season? Why? Why not trade for Realmuto while he’s out there and be set with a game changing catcher for years to come!?! What a poor job Luhnow! Astros fans have come to expect more from you!

@astros @astros_dude Astros tease with dreams of J. T. Realmuto, then crush the fan base with the signing of ex-ranger Robinson Chirinos. further proof most of the brain trust has left the building. #MLBHotStove

Robinson Chirinos to the Astros is sneaky nice

Good for him. RT @brianmctaggart: Can confirm the Astros have agreed to to a deal with C Robinson Chirinos for one year, pending physical. He played the last 6 six seasons with the Rangers.

Robinson Chirinos > Tariffs

Francisco Cervelli likely no longer of interest to Astros after they sign Robinson Chirinos as a free agent. #pirates #dkps
