Trammell staring that down instead of running cost him a 2B. Don't understand why players are so fucking lazy in this generation. Just fucking run.

Because Caratini sucks and gets himself out on bad pitches all the time.

He's got a .813 OPS against RHP, he's 1-7 against lefties.

Lefties have a near .800 OPS against Pfaadt, so let's leave Singleton on the bench on a clear get away day lineup.

2024-2025 Houston Rockets thread - Prepare for Liftoff 🚀 [Now Featuring Kevin Durant]
It means he's the NBA version of Chendall Weaver. He's also 26 and gotten better offensively almost every season in the NBA and played his best offensive basketball with Kevin Durant sharing the court with him. He also adds near elite level defense at the guard position. Considering Ime's love of defense over everything else, he's going to be in the rotation.

Based on how Georgia's players drive, holding the phone should be the most serious charge.

When will Espada fucking learn to bunt with shitty hitters.

He's also the 3rd true guard on the roster. I think he's getting more run than the stay ready crew.

Okogie spent parts of the last three seasons playing with Durant in Phoenix. Likely had something to do with the signing. He's a legit NBA rotational SG. Should be noted that he was (1.4/4.0 35%) from BTA when playing on the same team with Durant, which marked his career best streak from the perimeter.

You need to trade in him the offseason.

Wish Dezenzo was healthy, so he could soak up the 3B ABs with Paredes out.

Holy fuck, Espada burns Abreu in a 11-3 game.

Bullpen regressing to their mean could spell a long losing streak for this offense. Likely 1-6 in the last 7.

1st and 2nd with no outs shoukd be an auto bunt no matter who is batting until the Astros have a 3 run lead.

Caitlin Clark …. Seriously
She shot well last year? She gets a lot of hype but to be honest she hasn't lived up to it. .405/.329/.887 is legitimately awful. As far as comedians go, the only one that I can get through their specials is Dave Chappelle. I have tried Gillis, Bargatze, Rife, and Carr none can keep him interested through an entire set.

I think one of the unheralded aspect of our program, especially with the relaxed rules on assistants, is we are moving closer to a NFL style coaching staff. Where each position group has 1-2 assistants on top of the named position coach. There are a lot of teams that do this as well, but not every team in the SEC can afford it. It also helps that Kwiatowski has never shown signs of wanting to be a HC and having the OC/DC combo from a continuity standpoint is just the tits with pizza.

I didn't say it was a virtue. I said he fucked over the organization. The same thing Crane is doing now. At least, Crane finally saw the light with Tucker and we flipped him for premium assets, but consdering how shitty our farm system is and the lack of a quality bench guys it would have made more sense to do what they did with Tucker with Correa and Bregman as well. The Astros should never be buying FAs that are attached to the QO, unless Crane plans on spending into the tax, since he's not, it's stupid to throw away draft picks for aging vets. You could have easily brought home Goldschmidt on a one year deal. You could have easily added Tauchaman to add MLB depth to the OF. The Astros last competitive year under McLane was 2008, which we all remember us getting fucked over by the Hurricane Ike. That team had Lance in his prime (6.9 WAR), Tejada (1.9), Wigginton (2.2), Lee(2.8), and Pence(2.3). Hell even Matsui put up (1.3) in limited PT. Roy won 17 games and Valverde saved 44 but the rest of the pitching staff wasn't that great. The day before Ike, the Astros were riding a hot streak of 14-1. After Harvey, they limped to a 6-8 record to finish in 3rd place 3.5 games behind the WC Brewers. They also would have been the last WC under the current set-up. That was the end of their window.

Not too mention that when Crane bought the club, he had a future HOF, a WS MVP, and Cy Young award winner in the organization. 2017 likely doesn't happen without those 3 guys. Sure he fucked over the franchise by signing Woody Williams and Carlos Lee, which cost the Astros dearly needed draft picks, Guess which stupid mother fucker is doing that now?
