  1. Not for me. I have not seen a single pitch yet. We t on vacation with my kids Saturday morning. Game blacked out Thursday and on apple on Friday. I shall return Thursday morning. So, I missed the 1st week. My fault guys.
  2. So starting pitching other than Framber has been on point, bullpen is 0-4. High leverage relievers are 0-3 and we’ve scored 3 runs a game or so? exactly how we drew it up. awesome!
  3. Closest I’ve even come to winning. One fucking Shaka win and I’d have taken it down. alas man (dumb one) beaten by machine again. where was NC State ranked in your computer @Huckleberry?
  4. So basically if UConn wins it all while Clemson and NCState both lose you ace me out by 2 fucking points. Brutal.
  5. Yainer walked. Javier was really good. I suspect if Abreu was not suspended this game plays out differently. on to tomorrow. Hunter brown gonna be good. Abreu needs to hit 7th (and maybe needs to fuck right off in favor of Loperfido).
  6. Yeah/ but it’s so stupid. Iowa and Vegas, for example, have 5 or 6 teams blacked out. It’s dumb thinking. Make it like 250 miles or less (max) and only the closest team and call it a day.
  7. Yeah/ I think that’s the best podcast we’ve ever done. Everyone gets this so wrong on the distribution models. It’s just not even close it has to be RSA’s. the only thing I will say is this- the blackout rules are waaaaaaay too stringent. There should not be the ability to black out games in area where the games are not carried on a reasonable tier of package.
  8. Luke Scott Mike Scott and Dred Scott, what do I win?
  9. Props for the Bama pick. That was your first round highest confidence pick and you nailed it.
  10. Looking at standings, seeing I need Marquette to win to ace at Huck and saying- I guess I am screwed.
  11. 2-0 today with Illinois still to play. Cmon now.
  12. I could do with Abreu hitting 7th and Diaz hitting 5th. I bet we end up there at some point in time.
  13. It's fine. The season is long- we will be fine. Deep breath and relax.
  14. Or, if Framber has his head up his ass like he did in the 2nd half and playoffs maybe it's just the staff sucks outside of our leverage arms, one of whom is missing. Forest Whitley. Duh.
  15. What a whipsaw today. I'm trapped in a glass case of emotions.
  16. Things that will definitely happen this year: Astros win 100+ games The thread enjoys the fact that most lineup decisions are defensible and make sense LMJ pitches more than 20 innings Garcia pitches more than 40 innings Yordan wins an MVP Bregman has a monster year Hunter Brown takes a huge step forward Javier goes back to being good at baseball The lineup scores somewhere between 850 and 900 runs The pitching staff gives up less than 700 runs 2 Astros receive CY Young votes and neither one is JV Forest Whitley throws his first pitch in the major leagues Jake Meyers is passable at the plate- hits 9th- everyone bitches about him (ops+ of 95) Jeremy Pena hits a home run sometime in the second half of the season- unlike last year Yainer has an 850 or so OPS and is worth 3.5 or 4 wins Maldonado is released. Someone on here suggests we bring him back to work with the pitchers- I establish a rock solid alibi and then hunt them down and stab them in the neck We do nothing particularly exciting at the deadline Bryan Abreu has an ERA slightly less than 18 and he's still capable of getting major league hitters out We go into the playoffs as the betting line favorites to win the AL. JP France, Ronel Blanco and Brandon Bielak have a combined era between 4.25-4.75 and a winning record overall. People still fret about how we need more pitching b/c a couple guys sort of suck.
  17. Damn, Blanco's wife just had a baby a day ago. I'd like to think that both pregnancies happened during a key party amongst the Astros starting pitching staff right after JV came back and brought Kate with him. And that Case McCoy has the tape somewhere.
  18. We tuned this into a game on our podcast, and winner gets 4 tickets of choice to Astros, or if not Astros fan some other prize. how the game works 1 point for every over or under you get right. 1 point for every playoff team. 2 for every playoff round. 3 for AL champ and 3 for MVP, CY Young and ROY. over unders on pod. https://open.spotify.com/episode/2IuDVTJWSgwc6ntn0CYubV?si=XHh9RVoKS-KkVIO4DBYJkA
  19. The one where we preview the American League and pick all the division winners, wild cards, bet on all the teams over unders and major awards. https://open.spotify.com/episode/2IuDVTJWSgwc6ntn0CYubV?si=XHh9RVoKS-KkVIO4DBYJkA
  20. Clemson was the app- now when Yale pulls through I am cruising.
  21. Anyone want 4 for preseason on Tuesday? free.
  22. Does anyone else on the team own a glove? also- Vic the dick.
  23. I think I have 30 points. @Huckleberry where we at on our likelihood of scoring? I assume I will be down, after this round, to a potential of 18 points for UConn winning it all and everyone else eliminated (maybe Illinois) but hoping this is the one shining moment for me I can dream on having an 11% chance of winning.
  24. Yale motherfuckers. Told you I was super pumped to have them and shocked they fell that far.
