I think Austin/San Antonio would be way down the list of expansion cities. Not really gaining much market wise and I’m sure the Astros and Rangers would fight it hard. Vegas, Charlotte, Portland, Montreal and Nashville would be more likely candidates. I’d love to see a Mexico franchise like Monterey. Not sure how economically viable it would be though.

14 minutes ago, Hate said:If it happens more than onside kick recoveries it is too many times. That was about 6% last year. Even if it is a wash, I do not like the idea. I will admit that it may be more exciting than an onside kick, but I am a traditionalist.
Onside kicks were more than twice as likely to be successful in the years prior to 2018 when rule changes made them almost impossible to achieve. That’s why they are looking for alternatives.

I'm a baller, just sprung for the 12x12 angled leg version at Academy for $69.99. I'm sure it'll be a bitch to get up straight out of the box, but I'll get the hang of it.
Also bought 4 home depot 5 gallon paint buckets which I will fill with water and tie to each corner in the event of high wind, because beach sand laughs at tent stakes.
You are not a baller unless you pay $160 for 4 of these.

I see. Everyone that I know who has Spotify has Spotify premium so they can download and/or listen to podcasts while they aren’t connected to WiFi (and for the ads). I usually listen to Rogan when I’m driving, or at work. Both places where I wouldn’t be able to have WiFi. If I can download Spotify and listen for free in the scenarios above, then I’m in.
You can download podcasts on mobile apps with Spotify Free.

I love me some Bregs
The Astros third baseman is back in the news cycle today because he has decided to move on from his agent, Brodie Scottfield, and his affiliated agency, Klutch Sports. This is interesting news considering Klutch is directly associated with LeBron James, and the NBA star recently announced that his production company will produce a documentary about the Astros' cheating scandal.

Correct. The owners said it was unrelated to covid and they were moving due to a much higher rent. I believe they're opening a signature location in Memorial.
Yep. They are opening 6000 sq.ft. restaurant in the Memorial City area that will be their first to be open for dinner. Masraff’s and Texadelphia will be in same development.

It’s true that XOM dividend record is sacred and the CEO has stated that they will go to extreme lengths to maintain it. But he also has said that if this is indeed a brave new world of low oil prices then he would re-evaluate down the road. That dividend runs them $15 billion per year.

It’s inevitable that the universal DH is coming soon so I really don’t care about league affiliation. With 2 new teams and uniform rules, you could really shake things up with realignment. I would like more time zone alignment for the Astros and Rangers.
