  1. Robbie Ray
  2. Fan of other team takes issue with Houston Astros and their fans. News at 11.
  3. It seemed like it was 100% his choice at the time, but the Astros might have just been silent and waiting to make a decision on him until after the season. Sounds like they've got a couple of young pitching coaches who might be prospects for other jobs and want to retain them over keeping Strom. It also sounds like Strom might not be done. So it sounds like he's choosing not to come back to the Astros. I hope the club didn't do anything to run him off. This. We're in a 'win now' window. I don't think we're a playoff team without Correa this year. I don't think we're a playoff team without him next year as the roster is currently constructed. Same. Like I said, I hope we didn't do anything to run him off. If this condition is true then everyone will know about it and it will affect his value for everyone. We're going to suck again at some point. No reason to waste the window we have right now though. We need him to be a playoff team.
  4. When you make it to the World Series it means you have a winning team and you don't need to change that much. I thought Dusty was great, both as the right personality and X's and O's. I'd pay Correa whatever it takes. He's the heart and soul of this team. Super talented and a super competitor. I'd give him 8/292 without batting an eye. If there was a higher bidder, I'd top it. Then I'd insure the fuck out of the contract. I'd go get a legit starting pitcher. That's the one major ingredient this team lacked. Robbie Ray would probably be my guy. I think the loss of Strom may be as big as losing Correa. Pitchers were better because of him. Fun year. The team did better than expected and overcame a shitload of adversity with losing Verlander and all.
  5. You are one ignorant miserable son of a bitch.
  6. How badass is it that our No. 7 hitter won the the AL batting title?! I know that's old news; I just love to keep saying it.
  7. I had a feeling this was going to come back and bite them in the ass. Just like the White Sox turd who brought up the cheating scandal. Cora knew it too. Don't give the Astros any reason to want to push your shit in, because they can and they will.
  8. It doesn't "go wrong" if a missed call is in favor of your team. In a situation where the players are very highly skilled and the teams are evenly matched, very small differences affect the outcome. I would prefer that the outcome matches the performance of the players, not missed calls.
  9. Vision.
  10. Not me. A strike is a strike and a ball is a ball, period. Missed calls fuck up the game. If a pitcher throws a strike that just barely catches the edge of the strike zone, that's the maximum amount of skill employed and should be called correctly. Same with balls - if a hitter correctly lays off a pitch that is just outside the zone, he should be rewarded for his skill.
  11. I agree, the umps' accuracy rate is pretty amazing. But it also allows us to see incorrect calls, which are just fucking maddening. There were what, 23, wrong calls last night? That's unacceptable.
  12. Okay, I have to ask (again) - is this real?
  13. Meteor, plz.
  14. He likes geopolitics.
  15. Yeah, that would be great.
  16. Well it's not getting here soon enough. Hell, they project the strike zone into millions of living rooms every day. Why not pipe it up to the press box and call the balls and strikes down to the ump every pitch. Get it called accurately or GTFO.
  17. I don't think it's an actual conspiracy or that other teams are buying refs or whatever. I do think there may be some anti-Texas bias that finds its way into officiating. It's hard to argue with that chart. What? We're just that poorly coached, undisciplined and actually committed all of those penalties and the other teams we played are not? Just not feasible. The other thing that should be considered, though, is not just officials' incompetence, but also the skill of the other team in hiding their fouls. We can see it on TV and replay with different angles and speeds. The refs are seeing it once, from one angle and at real time speed. Players are being coached to cheat in a way that is difficult or impossible for officials to see that they are cheating.
  18. Gucci, actually, this is your wife. Just for this we now have a date for Saturday - Home Depot to get some wallpaper, maybe some flooring. Bed, Bath and Beyond if we have enough time. Afterwards, you are taking the kids to Chuck E. Cheese.
  19. I'm sure they'll be working in shifts.
  20. I'm very close to no longer being a sports fan. With evenly matched teams and games that come down to a play or two...or a call or two. It's too maddening to have officials decide a game. Basketball is an entirely flawed game and should not exist. Fouls are subjective bullshit. Baseball is on the clock with their non-electronically called strike zone. I don't know if bias or any kind of conspiracy is the cause of it. I don't care. If there's no integrity in sports, whether by intent or incompetence, then the results are all bullshit and I need to stop wasting my time with it.
  21. I have gone back and watched a replay of the highlights. I don't like to blame officiating and rule-breaking for losses. But I honestly do not believe that OU would have won the game Saturday but for their O-line holding on every play. It affected the game and was never called. Maybe our defense doesn't suck as bad as we think. Go back and watch for yourself. It's almost as if they were coached to do it.
  22. This. WTF? Made no sense and led to the Worthy fumble.
  23. Drugs are bad, mkay?
  24. Hnnngggg!!!
