  1. Now the Offense needs to go win this.
  2. Move on to Bourbon. That’s my plan.
  3. The OL is Asswater. Flood is Asswater. Arch is Asswater. The receivers are Asswater. Sark is Asswater. The only offensive player that isn’t crap is Wisner. This offense sucks and it’s been a team effort to get here.
  4. Arch isn’t even close to the Case of the family. How are his film skills?
  5. Kentucky’s backup QB looks significantly better than Arch.
  6. Sark loves slow developing plays.
  7. The same as his family tree.
  8. Fixing the OL room will go a long way to fixing the RB group. Hopefully that’s the offseason project in the portal.
  9. Eastern Zavala County
  10. We don’t kink shame here.
  11. As a fan, I don’t understand this thought process. I hope Jim Crane personally writes a check for his remaining salary if it gets a better prospect in any trade which helps the Astros win major league games. I don’t care if Crane and partners make money, etc. Cohen hasn’t been able to buy the Mets a championship yet - but I would much rather have ownership take a view similar to what the Mets did with Verlander. That deal only gets done if the Mets pay a good chunk of his salary and in return, the Mets get better prospects in return.
  12. They are also focusing on it because that was absolutely a winning message in the 2018 midterms. Trump and the Rs tried to take away your ACA plans and you should vote for us. The message now is Trump and the ads want to make your healthcare more expensive and we’re trying to reduce your costs.
  13. I heard the Gator Bites were somewhat questionable.
  14. Too soon - The 1 Super Bowl that I attend in person and they were the halftime show. That show was terrible.
  15. Is this the new Ghost Rider movie? I can see Abbott making a deal with the devil.
  16. This Oline is the worst in the SEC.
  17. It’s nice to get back out to the ranch again.
  18. Putin invaded Ukraine. Oxy would have gone bankrupt without that increase in prices.
  19. My company has always offered flu and Covid shots in the office. Our annual flu shot day is tomorrow and I’m curious if they will have Covid shots as well.
  20. This messaging from the Rs will hopefully help some voters figure out who to blame. Trump determines what’s essential and Trump decided to close down National Parks, fire the VA workers, stop payments to school districts to fund education programs, etc.
  21. As we learned this year, one of the key “tools” for a player is availability. Correa couldn’t play at shortstop on turf for 3 days in a row due to health reasons. To keep him healthy and available, he needs to play primarily at third. That eliminates trading Pena unless we receive a MLB ready SS in return. On the pitching front, I’m working on the assumption that the Astros will shred elbows on most pitchers and that requires the organization to maintain more pitching depth.
  22. Going into the offseason, the Astros have the following: Under Contract - Javier, McCullers, Hader, Walker, Correa, Altuve and Yordan Arb Eligible - Garcia, Brown, Wesneski, Abreu, Okert, Sousa, Santos, Diaz, Paredes, Dubon, Pena, Urias, Meyers, McCormick, Sanchez and Trammell Pre-Arb - Blanco, Spaghetti, Walter, Blubaugh, Ort, King, France, Gordon, Alexander, Murray, Dezenzo, Matthews, Leon, Smith, Melton and Cole Free Agents - Framber and Caratini For the arbitration eligible players, I would non-tender Garcia, Santos, Chas and Trammell. I would also consider non-tendering Sanchez as he somewhat blocks Cam from getting ABs assuming that Altuve/Yordan split time in LF. Paredes needs to spend every day working on double play turns from 2B and Walker needs to take live BP in Daikon on a regular basis. Walker’s OPS was 916 when the Astros won and 464 in losses. From a hitting perspective, it looks like you basically run the same lineup back out there and pray for Yordan’s health. They should be able to resign Caratini on a reasonable deal to keep him around. Can someone convince Yainer to chase a little less? From a pitching perspective, who’s going to be healthy for opening day? We know Blanco and Wesneski are out. What about Hader, Spaghetti, Walter and Sousa? Also, I don’t want to count on King and Okert maintaining their 2025 performance. I don’t want to resign Framber but losing his innings will really hurt this team. Counting on Javier and McCullers to pitch well for a whole season appears to be a stretch. The rotation appears to be Brown, Javier, Alexander, McCullers and Blubaugh based on the history of the Astros medical staff. They will need to find some affordable options to eat innings in the rotation and bullpen to survive 162 games.
  23. Who starts the offseason thread?
