  1. Game's not over yet. Maybe have Hader get 4 outs!
  2. Robert's like Saberhagen, he's good in odd number years. Let's beat the Cardinals today and show Arenado what he's missing! But seriously, if we start spring training 0-3, it's time to fire Espada and tear it down.
  3. We're bidding against nobody, so our offer should be worse, like a bag of used baseballs and real mozzarella instead of that Provel dogshit.
  4. When Agosto started 10-0, I thought he was amazing. I was just a stupid kid and thought wins mattered.
  5. The Astros were one of Arenado's five preferred destinations, but he couldn't pull the trigger. He sounds like an idiot. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6150459/2025/02/21/cardinals-nolan-arenado-trade-astros-awkward/?source=emp_shared_article
  6. On the topic of grammar, isn't "EDGE rusher" redundant? You would be an EDGE (I hate this shit) or an edge rusher. Or, as I like to say, a defensive end.
  7. Is it safe for McCullers to be holding that paper in his right hand?
  8. The same Keith Law who ranked Whitley #18 overall in 2019. We have two of the top 18 prospects!* * From 6 years ago** ** And Keith Law is always right.
  9. Keither Motherfuckin' Law ranked Trammell as the #14 prospect overall in 2019. And he played for both WS teams last year, so everything he touches turns to gold. KEITH MOTHERFUCKIN LAW.
  10. At least it's honest:
  11. Maybe sad in the sense that our time with the Greatest Astro is closer to the end than the beginning. However, it's the better thing for the team's defense, and it shows why he is so amazing and lovable. For me, it elevates him even further, from god status to whatever is beyond that. I'll never bet against him, and they better list his true height and not that 5'6 bullshit on his plaque in Cooperstown.
  12. Especially if he was the Club Astros DJ in the playoffs
  13. It's fine, stash him in AAA and use if something catastrophic happens
  14. Rodgers's away OPS is .628 Maybe he's due!
  15. I was walking around Disneyland this weekend, seeing all these Dodger hats and shirts, and I'm just thinking, "Fuck these guys."
  16. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6142412/2025/02/17/houston-astros-jose-altuve-position-swap/
  17. We're beating the Dodgers in the World Series this year. I think it's at least 65% likely.
  18. The contrast between Devers and Altuve is obvious. (Altuve's the bad guy, though.)
  19. James Franklin is a scumbag. But for Penn State, he seems.pretty normal. That program is awful. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/16/us/penn-state-medical-coaches-trainers.html
  20. The analytics on Graveman are: 2021 Astros—didn't win World Series 2022 Astros—win WS without Graveman 2023 Astros—didn't win WS
  21. The Athletic lists Mike Yastrzemski as a possibility to be traded this spring. He would be good: contract is $9.25M, hits left, 110 OPS+, 2.1 WAR, plays good defense. Throws lefty, 2ER in 1 IP last year, so he can turn their switch hitters around in a blowout because fuck them.
  22. x, 1, x, x
  23. My recollection from the past is that state income tax is about 5%; depends on which state you play each game in. But presumably, he is deferring money and will be in a non-income tax state when he collects
  24. That'll be enough to buy, like, 12 eggs.* *caged
