  1. Speaking of eye tests, Card was sacked 3 total times in the 3 games he started.
  2. Ideally, he has good speed and can lead off.
  3. His leash should have actually been shorter than it was last year last year, so I wouldn’t hold my breath.
  4. It does if it’s a symptom of chronic arsenic poisoning. Dusty has been playing the long game for the last 3 seasons.
  5. Between the Astros cautious approach to injuries in general and Dusty’s aversion to playing McCormick even without any excuse, I’d look for him to be back after the All-Star break.
  6. To be fair, Meyers’ putrid wRC+ of 77 right now is somehow higher than what he managed last season, so I wouldn’t be *that* confident. He is consistently terrible, though, so sustainable in that sense, you’re right.
  7. There’s a reason for that. It’s rooted in a much larger sample size than the 8(!) games Gurriel has played so far.
  8. I’d rather not have the worst qualified 1B in the league, like say Gurriel in 2022.
  9. There really aren’t any available CFs who would be an upgrade over McCormick, so I doubt it. The biggest hole on the off-season after 1B was a LF/DH type, which was addressed with Brantley-all joking aside about his availability, there were better options available and money to spend.
  10. Better than Brantley’s, whoever they are.
  11. The reason to have 3 catchers was so Diaz could play DH/LF/1B in addition to backup catcher, and you could then pinch hit for Maldonado without losing the DH (or shuffling everyone around). But 1) Diaz is barely even playing catcher, let alone anywhere else and 2) if you don’t pinch hit for Maldonado last night, you never will. There’s zero reason for a third catcher at this point.
  12. I wouldn’t be shocked if Dusty poked Chas in the eye to cause his vision problems.
  13. Yeah, I believe all the buzz this time a year ago was how the Angels had finally put it together and were going to bury the Astros. They went on to take the division race down to the wire, finishing a mere 33 games back.
  14. That was Hensley. Maldonado was in the dugout after flailing away in his at bat.
  15. Doing what’s utterly predictable for one of the worst hitters in baseball history. He shouldn’t have even been up there.
  16. That’s not a need.
  17. The Orioles had a 10 game winning streak last season in the middle of an 83 win season. Of course they can - baseball is weird.
  18. I didn’t know anyone actually went to high school reunions.
  19. Irrelevant. Dusty plans for him to languish on the bench.
  20. It will have to, there might only be 5 guys left on the team at this rate.
  21. I don’t really care about debating that. It was just a stupid use of the word.
  22. Because nothing says “woke” like taking a stance against felony arrests.
  23. He's 0-3 so far today, so now it wasn't a mistake, current circumstances say. That's how this works, right?
  24. Social clubs don’t generally pay taxes either.
  25. Yeah, that's a great case for why he should be in the organization in an off the field role, not catching 100+ games.
