  1. Sparks is on his game tonight. earlier, “look for brown to climb the ladder”. Next pitch fastball he blows by the batter for strike 3. just now: ”now’s a good time for smith to go. This pitcher’s doesn’t get a lot of swing and miss, and dubon is a good contact hitter.@ unfortunately he forgot our complete ineptitude running the bases and they still end up with a double play.
  2. I feel like there is as much commercial time as gametime in this game so dads these AppleTV breaks are ridiculously long….and Hunter is mowing them down and we are first pitch swinging at just about everything
  3. I see Correa still loves to watch meatball first pitches
  4. Big day in Astros history. no not this: https://apnews.com/article/astros-valdez-no-hitter-guardians-houston-4638017011fd652b15eec587e693620e This! I also have this photo saved on my phone on this day, which seems appropriate
  5. No offense but that’s a fucked up fetish if a lineup with Taylor Trammell and/or Dubon in it gets one full chubbed. I think ideal postseason lineup this year looks like: Pena SS Altuve 2B Yordan DH Correa 3B Sanchez LF Diaz C Walker 1B Smith RF Meyers CF (quibble however you want on the order of 6-9) Caratini late inning PH Dubon and Urias late inning PH/ defensive replacement
  6. I’d probably rather have Duffman
  7. In his defense recent history presented a proposal that the team currently located in Tampa would split its home games between south Florida and north of the US border
  8. I’m in austin They still haven’t figured out Unlocator
  9. MLB.tv with the radio broadcast option is the only way I consume Astros baseball Its especially clutch for the national FOX games and postseason when I get to avoid Davis and Smoltz MLB.tv down to $35 for the rest of the year, including postseason
  10. We’re talking Sunday morning.
  11. Pena: “I ain’t getting Wally Pipped out of SS”
  12. So after Philly next year and Wrigley in 2027, every team besides the 5 below (A’s and most of the AL East) will have hosted this century. A’s (1987) (they’ll be first up when/if they get something done in Vegas) Toronto (1991) no idea when the American national pastime will go north of the border again, maybe once they’re our 51st state (sarcasm… no CR) Baltimore (1993). A visit back to Camden within the next 5 years seems likely Boston (1999). A visit back to Fenway within the next 5 years seems likely (especially after giving the 3rd oldest park (Dodger Stadium) the midsummer classic in 2022 and the 2nd oldest park in 2027. Rays (never). Chances of hosting a future ASG depend on new ownership and ability to get a new park built.
  13. I’d rather have Arrighetti, Javier, Garcia, France, LMJ and Ulolla before Verlander.
  14. 100% someone from the Astros called Correa after their initial call with the twins and coached him on telling the twins “get me the f out of here”
  15. We get the weekly Roku showcase game! I hope it’s Dave OBrien on pxp and Blum on color and not Kalas doing pxp with their color guy.
  16. I hope Framber is an early bird 10:35am start time Sunday (11:30 local)
  17. Trade deadline days under him sure are a whole lot of fun. I guess that goes hand in hand with having a contender, but it’s like after the dejection in the clubhouse (and fanbase) after doing Jack squat on July 31, 2017 , it lit a fire to always make the trade deadline one of the most exciting days of the year and that hasn’t fizzled out going on 8 years now.
  18. I was at Loandepot park last Monday. You are correct “almost major league park” that place cost $600M to build and it looks it. Sucks it gets to host a WBC final next year. At least it has a roof and the AC is good. The whole time all I could think about was “this is like a 21st century version of the Alamodome.” the ambiance was worse than a minor league game. They didn’t even try to get the crowd in to it. (Not the worst thing… no one needs to hear “errybody clap yo hands”). But it was still bizarre at how little attempt there was to get the crowd to be part of the action. I guess a 2-1 game in front of 11k is about as snooze worthy as it gets. at least I saw a Stowers homer…. And machete double.
  19. Are you ready for the best part? …. make sure you’re sitting down….
  20. Previous owners left me their washer and dryer when I bought my house in 2017: washer has been great but has had a leak in to the bowl for a while that my SO finally got on me to do something about. did some research, replaced the water inlet valve. No leak. saw this thread and decided to look to how old the thing is: Holy shit:
  21. What package are you guys getting with these cheap deals? I like the All Access but only got that for ~$10/month last time I renewed
  22. I do respect the Padres “we’ll figure out tomorrow… tomorrow” mentality
  23. I look forward to the team presenting him his much deserved ring when the Marlins come to town next year.
