Plus Strom knows our pitching prospects quite well. Would make sense. Christian Walker too, while we’re at it.

It’s a consistent theme in the awards this year. Did Showalter win in NY because he’s a better manager than Snitker? Obviously not, the Braves won the fucking division. He won because what preceded him has been such a shitshow that he looks like a genius in comparison. Not how it’s supposed to work.

Running Alt-Right Thread of Mockery and Hypocrisy
This is hilarious. Actually have to tip my cap a bit to the yokel that thought to do it.

Great info, thanks for sharing. Here’s my dummy question - how does Rizzo have a higher barrel % yet a significantly lower average exit velo and hard hit %?- 2023 Official Astros World Champs Offseason Thread
Update. JV still wants more than Scherzer - we have extended our best offer and have told him if he can beat it, good luck. No color on number/length, but “he’s gonna do what he takes” was not accurate. Rizzo’s agent is on speed dial and corner OF is a priority. Not center. Click and the others that didn’t return were ultimately “not a fit” with what the organization’s philosophy, and it was never a question to bring back Dusty for one more year. Crane is going to take his time hiring a GM as he felt he had to rush it last time and nobody particularly wanted the job. Interviews will start relatively soon. In the little bit I learned today, I wouldn’t be surprised with a Rizzo signing. Edit - Haha didn’t see Tapia’s post as I had my reply going for a bit too long while doing other things.

This show is so uncomfortable. My wife and I love it. Can’t get the title credit music out of my head today.- 2023 Official Astros World Champs Offseason Thread
Crane will take all the heat, but I have zero doubt that Dusty didn’t really want to work with him.- 2023 Official Astros World Champs Offseason Thread
I stopped watching in the first 15 seconds after the host said she was surprised JV opted out. If you really think that, you’re not worth my time.- 2022 Houston Astros Thread

By the way have any of y’all seen Passan in person? I saw him a couple of times in the third baseline concourse during the playoffs - they guy is seriously about 5’7” 150 lbs. LOL I just looked it up and see Wiki has it at 5’9” - no fucking way. Seeing him in person strangely made me a little less hostile - I’m sure I’d be an overcompensating dick if I looked like that.- 2023 Official Astros World Champs Offseason Thread
Passan doesn’t have a clue. Crane keeps Jackson around because it might be some minimal marginal help in spring training and around the building, but he knows it’s all about ego for Reggie and not really serious. Bagwell’s role/relationship I haven’t heard anything about but trust me, he ain’t putting a whole lotta stock into Reggie Jackson on serious matters. I’m guessing Bagwell is the same.- 2022 Houston Astros Thread

“So that’s what I’m gonna do, do some more winnin’.” HELL YES DUSTY!!!- 2022 Houston Astros Thread
I was at the last WS flag unveiling and it went quite poorly. Given that the parade route this time was 100000x better than the 2017 parade, I can only assume they’ll learn from their mistake of failing to be able to get the cover off the pennant at the climactic moment.- 2022 Houston Astros Thread
Well I’m ready to run through a goddamned brick wall now. Is it April yet?- 2023 Official Astros World Champs Offseason Thread
We sure we want the guy that traded Hader and tanked the Brewers’ playoff chances? Phillies fans should send him gift baskets for this season.- 2023 Official Astros World Champs Offseason Thread

I’m listening to whatever idiots host “Roundtrip” on MLB Radio and they are so pissed. Their tears could not be more delicious.- 2022 Houston Astros Thread
So next year’s slogan should be pretty clear. #INEVITABLE- 2023 Official Astros World Champs Offseason Thread
And here’s what I’ve heard from my various well placed sources. JV wants more than Scherzer, that’s his goal. Crane’s gonna pay it. What exactly that means for length of the contract I’m not sure, but exceeding Scherzer’s per year headline number is his goal. They don’t want Espada to be the next manager and him not getting hired by the White Sox fucked up a one-year succession plan of bringing in the target to be the bench coach under Dusty. I haven’t heard anything on the GM other than what I relayed about Click not wanting to sign Brantley or Gurriel, and Crane overriding him. That story combined with the Urquidy/Contreras news I think tells us all we need to know. Whether it will be Stearns, Sig or someone else I have no clue, haven’t heard anything on that front.- 2023 Official Astros World Champs Offseason Thread
Now that I’m home from the parade I feel like I can finally post on this thread. Still basking in the unreal glow of winning. My favorite part of the parade (we were in Midtown) was when people were confused with the trophy in the float towards the end with Crane, Altuve, JV, Turner, Kate, etc. “The trophy already went by! What’s up with that? Oh yeah! WE HAVE TWO, BITCHES!!!!” - 2023 Official Astros World Champs Offseason Thread
