  1. A preview of third base for next year...
  2. Hell yeah, get JV that W!
  3. Wow, he didn't even try to slide in there... That's 2 guys thrown out at home in 3 innings.
  4. Bases loaded with no outs, need to get a few more runs here. Diaz is on deck too...
  5. Yeah, a bit worse than Abreu in 2023 and overall below league average, but for the low low price of 1 year 2.5m. Huge difference in cost vs benefit. Plus I think Yuli was a very good guy to have in the locker room, something that I think is sorely missing from this current team and may have been a factor last year. I don't think he deserves to be let go, unless he pissed someone off behind the scenes. I know it's not all that important, but I also like to see guys play their whole career with 1 team when possible. Yuli was pretty close to doing that if they kept him last year. If they signed Abreu and kept Yuli too, he would have kept Jon Singleton off the roster, and maybe kept someone like Hensley or Julks spot to start the season. Not a huge loss, and an arguably better pinch hitter than any of those guys.
  6. I believe the Braves signed him to a deal, and he's in their triple A club. Never should have let him go though, would have been way better off last year using that Abreu money on someone else, and signing Yuly for 2.5m like the Marlins did. I guess he got on Crane's shit list.
  7. 105.5 exit velo on Abreu's hit, 401 feet, would have been a homer in 18/30 parks, but not Minute Maid.
  8. HOLY SHIT, Abreu just went yard!
  9. WOW, Yainer with a homer again!
  10. Time for Yordan to shine
  11. Hopefully Luhnow makes tons of money on this investment and eventually buys the Astros from Crane in a few years.
  12. Holy shit, this schedule sucks.
  13. In other news, Chase Budinger is now a professional volleyball player! He's on the US National Team for the Paris Olympics, which sounds like a fun post-NBA career. https://basketnews.com/news-207229-former-nba-player-chase-budinger-going-to-paris-olympics-in-beach-volleyball.html
  14. Weird how he didn't say anything like this during the OKC/Dallas series. It's like Kyrie disappeared that series for some reason...
  15. Nice win, good to see more runs scored than left on base. Here's the Dubon play, I think he would have had it if it weren't for the fan.
  16. Case Closed! https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/40277006/ippei-mizuhara-ex-interpreter-shohei-ohtani-pleads-guilty
  17. If that trend continues, the D vote should be right around 48% this election. Add in the unlikability of Trump, 34 felonies, post-Dobbs enthusiasm, and a weird independent candidate that appeals to a lot of rightwing conspiracy theorists, and maybe there's a chance in 2024... If nothing else, 2028 might put Texas in play if the trend continues in 4 years. (assuming we still have elections)
  18. if you play it back starting at the 18 second mark, you can hear him say "Owwwww FUCK!"
  19. Wow, 70 million over 5 years, for 14m a year average. JJ Reddick has got to be salivating at that kind of dumb money.
  20. On the bright side, it probably won't even matter by July.
  21. I still don't understand why they let them switch to Rudy on the perimeter so easily. Feels like they need to fight through the screens more, keep Rudy in the paint and put more pressure on the ball handler.
  22. Big man on third with 1 out, gotta get him home.
  23. Sign and Trade Tobias Harris for him?
