  1. You still get a praline at the end of your meal at Molina’s in Houston.
  2. That at-bat showed Yordan’s issue - his bat is just under hittable pitches. Maybe he needs Charlie Sheen’s glasses from Major League.
  3. I’m hoping Dubon’s ABs going forward will be limited. Rogers had some pain/discomfort which cost him a few games.
  4. @Wulaw Horn In your discussion about Dezenzo’s lack of ABs this year, you blame Espada for not getting him in the lineup more. I can certainly see the argument for playing him more at 1st - however, I think they have been trying to give Walker every opportunity to get things going which hasn’t happened. Personally I put the blame for this situation on Dana. Once they decided that Cam was going to start in the majors, they should have sent Zach to AAA and kept someone like Gamel who can ride the bench for weeks at a time. There isn’t room on the roster for both of them to get at-bats.
  5. Yordan’s swing decisions look similar in 2024 and 2025 on his savant page. However, he’s not barreling and squaring up as many pitches this year which leads me to believe he’s missing pitches that he should crush.
  6. All the negative news should have already been taken into account by the market. It’s already reported deliveries declined 13%. Who really knows?
  7. Please let this be the matchup that wakes up Yordan’s bat. He’s hitting .421 against Bassit with 5 HRs.
  8. I had to look the rule up - Infield fly rule only applies if there is a force play at third.
  9. Why was Scott the choice here?
  10. Glad to get out of that inning only giving up 1.
  11. Run rule walk offs for conference sweeps are fun.
  12. This Jonah kid looks pretty good.
  13. Shells and Tails Crawfish - The 2 sacks I purchased yesterday were 3.25/lb.
  14. Always good to face Maldonado with 2 outs and 2 on base.
  15. We did a Good Friday boil for the first time. Hopefully this becomes an annual tradition.
  16. Framber standing on the mound pouting. Watching him can be extremely frustrating.
  17. It’s not that Lutnick was incorrect - he was “off message.” These guys want to lie and yo-yo the markets to keep the insider trading profitable.
  18. “Everything’s Computer” - Tim Apple
  19. Walker’s average exit velocity and barrel percentage match up with his 2024 numbers. Walker’s going to be fine. Abreu’s EV and barrel percentages went way down in 2023 and 2024 from his 2022 season.
  20. I’m going to amend this. I don’t think it was a mistake to bring Contreas out to start the 8th. Espada’s mistake was not bringing in Okert after he gave up the single. Okert should have been ready to go at the start of the inning. If Contreas has a good 8th inning, Okert will start the 9th anyway and if Contreas fucks up, then Okert is ready to go before it becomes a dumpster fire. You don’t have to worry about having Okert getting hot and not using him because he’s definitely going to pitch. Espada does need to learn to anticipate that stuff before it goes down.
  21. He was trying to steal an inning with one of his lesser relievers in a 5 run game given Contreas looked good in the 7th and only threw 6 pitches.
