  1. Keither Motherfuckin' Law ranked Trammell as the #14 prospect overall in 2019. And he played for both WS teams last year, so everything he touches turns to gold. KEITH MOTHERFUCKIN LAW.
  2. At least it's honest:
  3. Maybe sad in the sense that our time with the Greatest Astro is closer to the end than the beginning. However, it's the better thing for the team's defense, and it shows why he is so amazing and lovable. For me, it elevates him even further, from god status to whatever is beyond that. I'll never bet against him, and they better list his true height and not that 5'6 bullshit on his plaque in Cooperstown.
  4. Especially if he was the Club Astros DJ in the playoffs
  5. It's fine, stash him in AAA and use if something catastrophic happens
  6. Rodgers's away OPS is .628 Maybe he's due!
  7. I was walking around Disneyland this weekend, seeing all these Dodger hats and shirts, and I'm just thinking, "Fuck these guys."
  8. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6142412/2025/02/17/houston-astros-jose-altuve-position-swap/
  9. We're beating the Dodgers in the World Series this year. I think it's at least 65% likely.
  10. The contrast between Devers and Altuve is obvious. (Altuve's the bad guy, though.)
  11. James Franklin is a scumbag. But for Penn State, he seems.pretty normal. That program is awful. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/16/us/penn-state-medical-coaches-trainers.html
  12. The analytics on Graveman are: 2021 Astros—didn't win World Series 2022 Astros—win WS without Graveman 2023 Astros—didn't win WS
  13. The Athletic lists Mike Yastrzemski as a possibility to be traded this spring. He would be good: contract is $9.25M, hits left, 110 OPS+, 2.1 WAR, plays good defense. Throws lefty, 2ER in 1 IP last year, so he can turn their switch hitters around in a blowout because fuck them.
  14. x, 1, x, x
  15. My recollection from the past is that state income tax is about 5%; depends on which state you play each game in. But presumably, he is deferring money and will be in a non-income tax state when he collects
  16. That'll be enough to buy, like, 12 eggs.* *caged
  17. Even making the $156 Astros offer present value, he's still going to be behind. That 22/18/12 hypothetical in 4-5-6 would also have to be switched to present value.
  18. He had a 6/$156 (probably upped to $160, whatever) present day offer from the Astros (I don't think any of it was deferred) He took 3/$90 present day from the Red Sox That means that he is behind if he gets 22/18/12 for years 4-5-6
  19. 3/$90 (per Olney) means that at 34, he needs to beat 3/$70 at least. We'll see.
  20. Present day value 3/90M but, you know, bragging rights
  21. Whatever. It's pitchers and catchers, and Whitley, McCullers, and Javier are all going to get big outs in the World Series.
  22. More like -2.5 seasons, amiright
  23. Wonder how much was deferred and what the present value is. Guess we'll find out soon enough
  24. The only hitter left is Altuve...the one who didn't steal signs but gets shit from all of the fucking mongoloid moronic fans of other teams.
