  1. Same as the Nationals. I don’t really give a shit about them either.
  2. I really dislike this fake rivalry. They might as well be the A’s or the Angels.
  3. They can change the way Medicaid reimbursement work and eliminate those taxes from the computations. The taxes were essentially a loophole used by states to increase the federal share of Medicaid payments. The consequences of removing this payment source will result in states cutting services as described.
  4. One of my favorite meals as a kid was a homemade roast beef salad sandwich made by my Grandma. On Saturday, she would cook a pot roast for family dinner and any leftovers were put through a hand grinder and mixed with mayo, pickle relish and onion. I need to find the time to make this next weekend.
  5. So his Executive Order on pharma pricing is essentially a Sternly Worded Letter to Big Pharma.
  6. Fully agree with all of this.
  7. I’m curious to see the action tomorrow on prescription drug pricing. He may luck into something here.
  8. Holy Shit - Rodgers at DH! While Yordan is out, Rodger’s should play at 2b and Altuve at DH. This allows Cam and Dezenzo to get consistent at-bats. Espada can’t even fill out the lineup card correctly.
  9. Traded for a minor league pitcher
  10. Pressly’s stuff has declined at a significant rate. His slider and curve used to be above league average pitches in the Stuff plus models. Both of those pitches are below average now and his fastball has never been great.

    Well this deserves a neg
  12. Pena and Altuve should both be told to not do that shit again.
  13. Sac Bunt? Coach Gus in the dugout. WTF?
  14. On his way home from the office, he can stop for a Dilly Bar at DQ.
  15. How does a front office scout for luck? Players that hit the ball harder are almost always better hitters. Top 5 in avg EV this year: Ohtani, O Cruz, Judge, Gunnar and Alonso. The bottom 5 are a group of guys that I’ve never heard of. Interestingly, Altuve is 11th from the bottom in Avg EV this year.
  16. There’s some truth to this. The real metric should be a combination of swinging at pitches in the zone and not swinging at pitches outside the zone. I would guess that’s being tracked somewhere but I haven’t had enough time to go find it.
  17. Come on - Going into 2025, the team had 5 hitters in the lineup with career slugging averages 420 and over. League average slugging last year was 391. The construction of the team is not the problem. The problem is all of the players expected to slug have started horribly. Last year this team was dead last in the majors in pitches seen per at-bat. This year the astros are just below league average in pitches seen. They had a problem and they tried to address it. This team needs Yordan, Diaz and Walker to hit.
  18. Keep it going tomorrow
  19. Dubon yelling back to the Astro’s’ dugout - “Fuck those Surly Assholes”
  20. I’m shocked - It’s Yainer with the big hit.
  21. Yainer can take some terrible ABs.
  22. Is Rogers hurt or does Espada believe Dubon should starts?
