  1. You do like Smith and blister a grounder to 3B at 63 mph and you'd like to think you'll get rewarded. We're getting guys on, obviously. But if we don't start elevating more of these 100 mph drives, we'll continue to pressure our weaker bats to come through with men on. And this lineup still has too many holes to make that outcome something to rely on. Our Mensa manager leaving pitchers out there too long doesn't help, either.
  2. Feels like we're getting aced in pickleball.
  3. Playing back-to-back games with a tight hamstring is pushing your luck in these cold-weather cities.
  4. Spag working on a 2-hitter. Pretty, pretty good.
  5. To the Dodgers for the rights to Josh Fields? We're about to fleece them again.
  6. Hopefully good arms coming back can eliminate the need for these castoffs to throw innings that matter.
  7. Solid compilation by this "auditing firm" https://www.tiktok.com/@umpireauditor?_t=ZP-8ydOAl8tOYR&_r=1
  8. Someone has to assume the Montero role. He seems up to it.
  9. I don't think so. Seems high.
  10. If we lose, it will have happened long before the 8th inning. Same as last night.
  11. Hector Ner'is the answer.
  12. What's the franchise record for baserunners erased in a series?
  13. Ideally to a rival. If we're scrambling to get Ws for Brown and Valdez, I doubt this jag is going to lead us anywhere but into the tank.
  14. I'd be the last fan to call Altuve selfish. But when guys are amped up to drive in runs...well, that's when a manager has to assess the situation and make sure the whole team plays smart baseball. I thought bunting was the way to play it there. Then again, Espada might not have.
  15. Let's see: Through 6 innings we have 6 hits (including a HR), plus a BB and 2 Boston errors...yet despite scoring just once have left only 3 men on base. That's a little bad luck, but also a TOOTBLAN clinic.
  16. On the bright side, we're not stranding many runners.
  17. Just wanting to make sure CC leads off T2. All part of the warped plan.
  18. Aside from that big walkoff hit, I'd say his becoming strictly a memory is my favorite memory.
  19. And not just this year. Fans can rag on him if they wish, and I get it sometimes...but Dubon started paying dividends the season we got him and still does. Every title team needs a Swiss Army knife, and I'd much prefer to keep him around.
  20. Maybe the season comes down largely to this: Do we get a full, healthy season out of Arch? If not, how long is he out, and against whom? Baxter's health is the next question, but at RB we've shown we can get it done by committee if need be. Doesn't work that way at QB.
  21. I'd be thrilled to find out that's the last K McCormick has a chance to produce in a Houston uniform. He's no longer a major leaguer.
  22. What would prompt the Pilkingtons to name their son Konnor? To distinguish him from the many Connor Pilkingtons out there? Good grief.
  23. No clue. So it will become a smaller lead and let Hader qualify for a save?
  24. Abreu abhors a vacuum at first base.
