  1. Not particularly. If they were ever going to do it it would make sense that it would be for him. I don't think they are ever going to do it.
  2. No he won't sign a 6 year deal. Astros should offer him 10/300 and if he doesn't want that figure he's never coming back and plan accordingly.
  3. There is no such thing as a "deserving golfer" on a sponsors exemption. Sponsor's exemptions are specifically for them to put a couple dudes in the field that they think will benefit them in some way. If Charlie drew eyeballs then he would be doing exactly what that sponsor's exemption is meant for. I don't care if LeBron wants Bronny to be on the team- he's pretty freaking awesome and has earned the right I guess to put him on the team if that's his thing. I'd probably do it for my kid if I was him and had the juice to do it. Seems like fun. My only issue with the whole thing is anybody publicly pretending that he's good or has earned the spot in some way. The 15th dude doesn't matter so on some level who cares? Just don't make it something it's not.
  4. Always I think the best preview out there. If you've never read it before I highly suggest it. It's informative and funny. Good big picture analysis of where the program is at and the overall landscape in conference and then lots of in depth stuff on Texas guys (which most here probably already know) but also informative deep dive on everyone else on our schedule and in our conference. Plenty of good one liners, zingers and very informative. If you like the preview mags at all, or reading, it's the best out there of it's kind. Highly recommend. I'm not a fan because we work together- we work together because I was a fan of what he has done online for 25 years in the longhorn community, going back to hornfans.com and all along the way. Hard to believe it's been that long. Congrats on being done with this for another year @Scipio

  6. This is just a reminder that the Astros crack medical staff took like 4 or 5 days to IL him because they weren't sure he was going to need a full 15 days on the IL.
  7. Everyone bitched about arrighetti but he wasn’t the main problem. The A’s have scored at least 5 runs like almost every game in July- 4 in 6 isn’t getting it done- but I’d take that from the 5th starter most days and say you have to find a way to win 40 or 50% of those games. that lineup was putrid. need Tucker and 2 more good bats or 1 all star caliber one.
  8. We ain’t winning this game.
  9. Assume Tucker is getting a Pistorious style blade below the knee that he used to win the real Olympics. As long as the crack Astros Medical Staff amputated the correct leg to prepare for that surgery he should be ok. No word on if they got the right one.
  10. Rooker would be a middle of the order bat for 4 playoff runs - that’s worth doing, imo. Any one of the 3 would be good.
  11. Loperfido/melton/blubaugh/whitley/Leon for Rooker Chas/Montero/Mathews for Vlad Jr. Areighetti/Ullolo/Baez/Gordon for Crochet astros new roster: crochet/brown/framber/blanco/bloss (JV) Diaz/vlad/altuve/Pena/Bregman/Rooker/meyers/cabbage/ Alvarez (Tucker) Hader/presley/abreu/scott/martinez/king/Dubin Dezenzo to replace Bregman next year- roll it back out for 2025 a little worse. Not a single joke on the big club. Not a single shred of high end prospects in the farm. Better hope Dana can develop. My gosh that lineup would be sexy, the bullpen really good at the top end and 3 guys you can squint and think of as an ace.
  12. Thanks for the explanation. I did not know that.
  13. He’s a gold glove caliber CF worth 3 war per 600 plate appearances for his career and has an ops of almost 750 this year. And I said he should hit 8th or 9th. How the fuck is that dick riding you paint chip eating moron?
  14. Fucking throw strikes asshole.
  15. Jake meyers is an above average baseball player (Not MVP but laughably better than “maybe 5th OF territory”) that’s average (probably) offensively. If he hits 8 or 9 we are perfect and that’s a great outcome. We need Tucker back and at least one more bat- preferably 2. 1B and LF. Everything flows really well if Pena hits 8 and Jake 9th (or vice versa). Yainer/singleton/pena/meyers 4-7 isn’t good enough to get us where we want to be. Really need 2 guys 20% better than average at 1B and LF so that it’s Tucker plus them 4-6, and then Yainer/Pena/Meyers. That might be the best 7-9 in baseball. It’s shitty 4-6.
  16. Woof. We need Tucker back and another bat.
  17. I mean- in November of 2020 sure.
  18. Oh for fucks sake you single digit IQ moron- you ain’t paying for shit in Texas athletics as it’s completely self supporting.
  19. dome framers return for some talk about where we are and what we should be thinking about doing.
  20. That was less than ideal. Probably greenspoint ballgame.
  21. It’s almost like literally nobody has ever said that and all they’ve ever said is you are an idiot for saying that the gold glove caliber cf with an above average OPS+ is a useful and valuable player and not “maybe possibly good enough to be a 5th OF”.
  22. Who isn't other than Jose Abreu? Are we sure Abreu isn’t? Grae still doesn’t have a hit this year- right?
  23. I have 2 today for whoever wants them until I don’t. Let me know and they are yours. Free as always.
