    We are already a contender. We are a DT away from having the deepest roster we’ve had since before scholarship limits and possibly the deepest we’ve EVER had.

    Not coming after you because I don’t know what you’re about and I think most people are the same way you are. But I have thought about this incident every single school day since it happened. My last thought every single time I drop my little girls off at school, as I watch them walk away and get outside my ability to protect them, is “my god I hope they don’t get slaughtered by someone with an AR15 today.” I thought it this morning.

    As badass as Hader is, there’s a lot of downside to paying a closer ~$120M/5yrs, especially since it would also cost a 2nd round draft pick and $500k in international bonus pool money. If they do that they better supplement it with another bullpen arm and maybe an upside SP and a lefty hitting OF.

    Got dam Texas ain’t fuckin around.

    If you know Jack dick fuck about demographic trends and how our economy works, YES.

    Pretty clear to me be burned the everloving fuck out of his hand, probably grabbing a curling iron to work on that expired cotton candy he wears on top of his evil head. The thought of him doing that, then immediately looking for someone to blame, brings me great joy. I imagine anyone else in room at the time was stifling laughter.

    Trump cried fraud from the very first caucus. Even after he won the nomination he literally said “it was all rigged but I don’t care because I won.”

    If Texas misses the tournament, Terry has to go. He is being paid enough to warrant a short leash given his resume. It wouldn’t be insane to give him another year, but the bar for him surviving past that should be pretty high. Texas should be a perennial top 15 team in basketball.

    Unlikely. Brown and Javier haven’t shown they can go deep even on full/extra rest, France and Urquidy don’t have the arm/stuff, and I think it would be a terrible idea to try to ride Framber and JV even harder (while also reducing the number of starts they get). They may end up in a 6 man rotation just due to depth and injury concerns, but that isn’t the answer to a a shallow bullpen. I could see them moving Hunter Brown to the bullpen if they simply can’t find money/prospects to add a legit RP from outside. But that would put a lot of pressure on Javier, Urquidy, and France to perform in the 1st half while they wait for Garcia and McCullers. Crane just needs to bite the bullet and sign off on going over the tax. The money shouldn’t be significant and the draft pick penalty isn’t either. The tax on spending an extra $20M is a few million and the draft pick impact wits just be moving Bregman’s QO pick from the 70s back into the 100-120 range.

    This puts them in a pretty tight spot. They only had 4 RP worth a squat, and Montero comes with significant performance risk. Going into the season with Abreu and Pressly and pay-the-starter-goes-deep doesn’t seem ideal.

    Whose projections are those? I would expect Whitley to be in the opening day bullpen over Sousa or Blanco, although that’s not certain. I would like to see a move that improves the pitching staff but overall I’m cool with running out that opening day roster. There’s as much upside as downside, with potential level-ups from Meyers, Pena, and Diaz countering age/injury risk from Abreu, Altuve, and Yordan. Theres more upside than downside in the bullpen given the depth of guys with elite stuff who just haven’t harnessed it consistently. Theres significant risk in the rotation but again the downside of injury/age with Framber/JV is countered by potential break outs from Javier and Brown.

    Cracked pipe 6 months ago, $5k to repair. Now the pool is leaking again. It’s leaking so fast that I can’t keep enough water in it to keep the pumps running during the freeze. The leak seems to be underground because no water comes out where anything is exposed and the ground is wet where the pipe runs. I’ve known this was coming because my pool is easily over 30 years old, but right now is the first time that I have ever been like “fuck having a pool”.
  13. Snake Diggity
    If we’re gonna bitch about bad contracts, the Astros are gonna spend $51M on 4 pitchers, NONE of whom will be in the opening day starting rotation. I have been pretty surprised that Houston has not been able to find a single great homegrown late inning RP except Abreu in the last half decade.
  14. Snake Diggity
    If you think spending less than 1.5% of one season’s payroll on a utility player is in any way going to “kill a dynasty”, lmfao at you.
  15. Snake Diggity
    Dubon would be the best SS on the roster for 9-10 teams and the starting 2B for another 3-4 teams. Pena is barely better. It’s not ideal if Dubon is your everyday CF, which is how he was used a lot last season. But he’s a good player.

    I recently watched Coco with my sweet, sensitive 5 year old daughter. This part came on and I look over at her and she had tears streaming down her face. Now I cry every time I hear it. I don’t think I’ve ever cried just from a song before.

    My wife’s need/desire to nag the fuck out of me is so strong, she came into the bathroom just now while I was having loud putrid diarrhea and stood there for a solid 5 minutes bitching about how the fucking robot vacuum couldn’t finish its job because I left my jeans on the bedroom floor. Fml.
  18. Snake Diggity
    Do not at all understand any Dubon hate. A guy they acquired in exchange for…checks notes…Mike Papierski, plays 7 positions well, almost never strikes out, and ran into double digit homers last season. He also seems like a genuinely good kid who is well liked by his veteran/star teammates. How the hell you think that’s not worth a measly $3M is beyond me, especially considering how old and/or injury prone the Astros will be at 2B, 1B, 3B, and CF.

    Winning Iowa doesnt correlate well with winning the nomination, but I wouldn’t say it’s “irrelevant”. Trump’s 2nd place finish in Iowa in 2016 was shocking and the first sign that he was a legitimate threat. The winner may not mean all that much, but there’s certainly something to be gleaned from the overall results.
  20. Snake Diggity
    There’s just way too much unknown to predict anything other than a Trump nomination, but if Haley and DeSantis combine for over 40% of the Iowa vote, that will be pretty big sign to me that Trump is losing his grip.

    He looks like Maggie from Northern Exposure.
  22. Snake Diggity
    Yep. Hell, she probably could’ve negotiated a plea from outside the country that just pays back some of the money and been able to keep millions and live phat as hell in Bali or wherever the fuck for the rest of her days. She had to at least have some snap to be able to pull of the scam in the first place, sad to be so stupid in the end.

    Brooks, Mukuba, Barron, Holmes, Muhammad, Williams, Filsaime, and Black is 8 dudes I feel like will be able to play at a very high level next season. And that doesn’t include Taaffe, McDonald, Guilbeau, and Jordan, all of whom played in almost every game this year. 2024 Secondary should be significantly improved over 2023.
  24. Snake Diggity
    I predict turnout will be lower on both sides. Trump will receive less than 72M votes this November. Biden will receive less than 80M.
  25. Snake Diggity
    I’ve seen rumors of losing addl guys at OL, DL, and LB. And there are rumors that Mitchell and Barron could return.
