  1. Maybe Brown just needs to put Alvarez on the I L for the rest of the season. Not going to look up the season numbers with him in the line up versus without, but they have been rolling since the latest injury and we have made bigger decisions with less scientific proof.
  2. He and Espada are in an arms race?
  3. All good and fine, but maybe he should focus on the entire lineup and just not the bottom three.
  4. So we are spotting the Mariners the middle game and hoping to sandwich that with wins by the Astros two aces.
  5. Exactly how is comparing those numbers relevant? Hell, when Arch was playing they were throwing a ball that belonged on a rugby pitch, the hashes where way, way apart, you could basically tackle receivers off the line of scrimmage and offensive linemen blocked with their hands close to the breast plate of their should pads and not immediately grabbing the shoulders of the pass rusher. Understand the desire to look for positives, but any article in which the author knowingly included a quarterback from the 60's to compare their numbers with someone in the modern game is either mentally deficient or writes for the Houston Chronicle, shit, that is one in the same. Three different times in the game and you might as well compare scoring averages in basketball pre shot clock and 3-point line, shot clock with no 3-point shot, and then today's game/
  6. No fairy tale, you don't post those times in that event and not have talent. The story is just beginning for Cooper and I think it will be interesting to watch his progress as his physically matures and gains racing experience at that level.
  7. Hey now, Fresca had a splash of grapefruit juice and based upon when that picture was taken made wit cane sugar so basically a precursor to early versions of Gatorade.
  8. You want Arch smoking unfiltered Lucky Strikes? I think what you are wanting is the football game scene from the movie MASH.
  9. Big problem with it being on Tokyo and NBC having the broadcast rights is finding updates on the run. Here is a link to an good story about Crouser, https://www.nbcsports.com/olympics/news/ryan-crouser-shot-put-world-track-and-field-championships-2025 He is a freaking beast, the best of all time in the shot, and one of the all time track and field greats for the USA.
  10. The obvious answer is Melton is a better prospect .
  11. Counter, counterpoint, a rookie is carrying this club tonight. Best players need to be on the field at the end of the year, not as if he didn't have a nice long break middle of the season .
  12. I didn't look at the starting line up and just noticed no Jeremy Pena. Mother and Child Joe, what the fuck are you doing and I don't care what the situation is, when you have 15 games to go in a season in which you are tied for first and the only way you are making the play offs there is no fucking excuse for a paid athlete to not be at there short of death. Crane needs to clear out the orange slice and participation trophy mentality from this club.
  13. I see he hired Russell Crowe as his personal trainer.
  14. Padres would have it done and the ink already dry.
  15. So it seems for the Astros hand soreness is about as contagious as staph.
  16. We all do and I wasn't happy the first time I was playing golf with our son and instead of dropping down a club to show I still could hit with him or even do better I had to club up one or even two clubs. If the player won't recognize it someone has to tell them. Nothing wrong with it, not disrespecting the player.
  17. Agree completely, as I and others have mentioned here before, a younger Altuve would take that outside pitch and drive it to right field. Unfortunately, he now more times than not ends up hitting a weak ground ball to a middle infielder rolling over on top of that pitch.
  18. That has already happened defensively and the base running has followed suit the last month. Almost as if he don't realize he can't run like he once did when younger. I would have compared him to former US men's player Jeff Agoos, but now that i think about it Agoos never could run.
  19. Fixed it for you. Could be wrong, but based upon SNL past history get ready for a high dose of Wickline.
  20. Cole a corner outfielder or can he play center?
  21. Will be very interesting to see what changes the Astros make regardless of the outcome and a big issue is going to be the Altuve contract. They owe him 30M a ear for 2026 and 2027, 25M for 2028, and then 10M in 2029 which is a great deal of money for a guy who is basically a DH. I am not suggesting they trade him, recognize what he has done for the club, and his place in Astro history, but they are going to have some tough choices on what to do with Jose and manage the lineup when they get some of these parts back.
  22. Not sure which was crazier about Clark's career. His win percentage or the amount of races he competed in over multiple classes. He wasn't flying on a private jet or taking a modern train.
