Man yall getting Meyered. He picked it up so that his ass won't get sent packing when Brantley comes back. Once he is in the clear he will go back to sucking balls

Well, shitty early Bregman is also normal Bregman

This is true. I’m just glad it’s over. 

Meyers and Maton helping us a lot all season still would shock me. As would J Abreu being awful all season. I'd far rather be shocked in the first way than in the latter.

What’s the timeline to move him up to Corpus? I know they can do it whenever they want, but is there a normal time of year to move guys up a level?

Joey Luperfido was promoted to AA a few games ago. I would expect it very soon to the next couple weeks, but what do I know. I hope if Gilbert does well that he gets a month at triple A at the end of the year.

Kenny Van Doren thinks end of May for a Gilbert promotion after tonight.

He’ll be in cc before may 

ill make a trip down, post a scouting report 

So, we’ve played 5 Of the 6 teams leading their divisions and we are 8-6 against them. 
that would be a 92 win team just playing the cream of the crop. 
that seems low. Win tomorrow and we go to a 97.5 win pace against just division leaders. Much better.

simmer down, we still must face the buzz saw known as the Oakland A’s 

Let’s say Dubon continues to hit well into June, and Altuve returns. What’s the plan? 
 

I lean super utility/CF defensive replacement/bench depth. He’s never going to put together many XBH and he hasn’t stolen bags particularly well for his entire career. 
 

Can the team carry Julks, Uncle Mike, Meyers, and Chas on the 25 man roster? 5 OF’s + Yordan + Dubon feels like too many.

After Tampa, Astros have the best record against teams >.500.  Arlington's SOS is like 27th, so whatever.

sorry, was out for a friend's birthday

good luck, fuckers

Anyone see that Brian Reynolds extension? 
damn. I’d like to give Tucker double plus that and I’m not sure he’d sign. 
I think I might trade Tucker straight up for Reynolds right now. Probably not bc we are in our competitive window but 8/105 or 9/125 for a Reynolds age 26-34/35 seasons is insanely good.     
not quite Altuve level extension good, but even better than what they have been doing in Atlanta.

I would carry them and Dubon also fills the Hensley role until he figures something out as he is not helping anybody being in the lineup now.

Gilbert is hitting .367 with 5 2B, 3 HR, w 1.089 OPS this season. Zach Dezenzo (12th Rd/2022) is hitting .357 with 6 2B, 1 HR, w .997 OPS.

There are a couple of other kids with OPS over 1.000, that have played in half as many games. Asheville 2023

Clifford doing well in A ball, I wonder with his size, 6'3" if they will develop him as a 1B to replace Abreu. He's getting time at the position right now.

He was supposed to be 1b/LF.  With the depth we have in the OF right now his quickest and best path is probably 1B, even if it is a lesser defensive position

Anyone else feel like we have some damn good prospects in our system Right now ?

Definite Springer vibes from his minor league at bats

Astros-Phillies probables this weekend at Minute Maid Park:

Fri: Framber Valdez vs. Aaron Nola
Sat: Cristian Javier vs. Zack Wheeler
Sun: José Urquidy vs. Bailey Falter

Bailey Falter sounds like a bitch

So the 6:40 EST Rays games is an old people Florida thing, right? 

All 4,000 of them. Pathetic fan base for a damn good team.

Just watch, this shitty lineup will put up 8. 

 

 

Or 1.

Same as yesterday's that put up 5, except for Diaz instead of Maldy which should be an improvement.  Let's win the series and make Ranger fan start to sweat that their time on top might last less than a month.

Reds walked it off today to finish the sweep

Yep... now the Astros need to do their part and make that .5 game lead feel really uncomfortable.  Like I said...  it will be some funny shit if the Astros are back on top by the end of April given the respective starts from the Astros and Rangers.

Are You Not Entertained? GIF - Gladiator Movies ...

Blah blah blah blah blah, but then when Brown starts Diaz catches and Maldy sits. And that’s like Pretzel day for me. And pretzel day, well I like pretzel day. 
 

insert Stanley from the office GIF.

Is Julia in the booth “tonight”?

Supposed to be. 

Between the two Abreus, which is better at snuffing out a rally? Jose so far. 

In Atlanta this week, I’m at this divey sports bar and asked politely if they could put one of the TV’s on the Astros Rays game.  
 

I ended up arguing with half the fucking bar at once.  This is Braves country blah blah blah.

Hensley is a disgrace to the 17 number

Actually kind of disappointed it got put back in rotation with him and Odorizzi

Good lord, Hensley.  He must miss Sugar Land. 

I think they'll soon be reunited. And for me, at least, it will feel so good.
