2021-2022 Astros Offseason Thread

I’m all for signing as many Cubans as possible 

[Ichabod 184]

I was playing playstation with Dunn when his fax machine went off in his dorm room. It was an offer from the Cincinatti Reds. He told us bye and left everything in his room. True story.

Buster Olney is such a cunt. He just ranked the top 10 teams in MLB and didn’t have the Astros in there. 
sure Buster. The team that’s been to the ALCS 5 times in a row and WS 3 of 5, added JV and subtracted Correa (pardon me while I sob into my pillow) isn’t a top 10 team in MLB. Yeah right you dumb fucking cunt.

Luis Baez, an 18-year old from the Dominican Republic, is one of the international free agents that the Astros are excited to sign. Standing at 6-foot-1, the outfielder is a power hitter that can hit for above average and drive in runs. One of the key areas that the Astros will focus on will be his defense. It is also important to note that Baez was the 27th ranked prospect by Baseball America.

Had to check and see, and of course one of the first comments is "Are there any American players out there?!?!?"

The comments on the FB post by the team is just chock full of similar idiocy. People bemoaning that we're becoming the "Santo Domingo Astros" or that Crane is being cheap for signing young caribbean players instead of major leaguers. Goddamn our fanbase embarrasses me sometimes.

We need more "Murican players. I don't wanna see Altuve, Alvarez, Yuli, Garcia, Framber, and Urquidy playing with a bunch of foreigners.

I think by “fanbase” you mean “human race”

SIAP, but Pena has some major swagger. Wait for the replay.

No doubt. I’m guessing the Sugar Land Stars at Constellation Field. 

[WBT 20415]

Sugar Land Sugar Babies?

[Gourmand 7774]

It has to be something space quirky like the Big Bangs, Galatics, Quasars, or Szygy

This bullshit that is going on right now is really fucking up my travel plans.  I had planned to go to the Dbacks series for my bday, and can get cheap ass flights on SWA right now for their sale....but that is only until 1/20.  I don't want to book shit without knowing for sure they are playing the games.

That was a Correa like reaction. I've been saying, go trade for Mullins or Reynolds. Pena is the guy at SS.

I was so close. Should've gone with Syzygy.

Correa just hired Scott Boras

[WBT 20415]

wtf?

[Planet Houston 4923]

I think it’s pretty funny in that minor league quirkiness kinda way. 

Not Boras, that sucks.

Are we still pretending that's a thing?  He currently represents Altuve, Bregman, and LMJ.

I guess the mascot’s name will be Maurice.

This here.

i really don’t to book a trip to the big apple in late June unless certain the Astros will be playing there then

flip side, worst case for Southwest, just book it and use a credit for another series later in the year
