Houston Astros 2024 Season Thread

[Chuckie Finster 22,694]

 

There seems to be an incompetence battle going on between Espada and Brown, and they are both winning.

[Scraps 13,561]

I mean it has been determined last season already you just can't believe anything that comes out of Dana Brown's mouth.  

Yall need to start hearing it like the charlie brown teacher cause that is all it is

[kevwun 15,774]

I am in favor of whatever makes Bagwell look like a jackass.  So keep on saying stupid shit fellas.

[runthebone 7,968]

I assumed Javier would need TJ from the beginning.  If Brown says Garcia is coming along, that means he had experimental surgery to graft a pig arm onto his shoulder.  Brown says his forkball looks great!

Quote

Dana Brown said he’s not “concerned” with Cristian Javier’s velocity decrease on his fastball. Brown thinks the mechanical issues for him could be “rhythm and timing”

Could "rhythm and timing," could be "timing of surgery," who is keeping track.

[kevwun 15,774]

The Astros medical staff is only allowed to use information found on the backs of baseball cards when diagnosing injuries.  You try to using wins and losses from 2023 to figure out if someone has a torn ligament.

What’s Dana supposed to say ?

for that matters, what is any gm going to say ?

 

[kevwun 15,774]

He's seeing the teams doctors and then we'll know more?  Being coy is one thing, but straight up lying about stuff is another.

People seem to think this is a Dana Brown thing, it's not. It's a Jim Crane thing. The Astros have always been very untruthful with injuries since Crane took over and the Astros became relevant. He's had 3 GMs since 2017 and all of them have given the press misinformation about injuries. Crane believes it gives them a competitive advantage.

Pretty sure I'm gonna need Tommy John surgery just from being an Astros fan this season.  Christ.

I’d be lying if this persistent ache in my forearm that started after my son’s first spring practice a few months ago isn’t concerning me.

Agreed!

Between Astros Baseball and Longhorn baseball this year. I do this on the daily. 
ISO a number to a good TJ guy

wouldn't that make it a porkball?

Yes, and also an unclean, "filthy" pitch because it has a cloven hoof yet does not chew the cud.

[kevwun 15,774]

If the arm is not your original throwing arm, are you allowed to have rosin on your new throwing hooves?

[kevwun 15,774]

Oh look, Espada is DH'ing Singleton again and playing the guy who can't field his position at 1st.

[runthebone 7,968]

Wow, that lineup sucks ass.

If Bregman stays hot, he could get his OPS over .700, though.  If the Astros don't do something about 1B, then they might as well sell.

[cabowabo 4,484]

If we didn't have McCullers coming back soon, these injuries would really concern me.

100 fucking game left

Let F’n Go !!!!!!

[UTexasFight 9,431]

Did they take x-rays on Bregman last night ?

[kevwun 15,774]

We'll know what they revealed when he either plays or goes on the IL.

[tx 3 putt 76,905]

Throwing strikes ???

Take it back bitch.

If slappy makes it back to back to back I'm going to go jump in the creek

[UTexasFight 9,431]

cabbage had been beyond red hot at sugarland.

Glad to see it continue in Houston 

[kevwun 15,774]

Not a good sign when the left fielder doesn't even bother to look up or turn around.

[cabowabo 4,484]

Blanco picked a bad time to start sucking cock.

I’m more concerned with one guy getting in scoring position—outside of the two swings that cleared the fence— and 0 walks than I am our starter giving up 4 runs in 5.2 innings  

[UTexasFight 9,431]

Need 3 outs in under 3 minutes for a time of game starting with a “1”!

[UTexasFight 9,431]

Damn

long ass time until first pitch of the next game 

 

no telling how many broken bones/TJs we’ll have between now and 8:30pm Friday 

[tx 3 putt 76,905]

Sweep would have been nice, on to Anaheim 

 

[runthebone 7,968]

Can't believe that lineup scored 2. 

[UTexasFight 9,431]

D-day tomorrow …in more ways than one with this team

 

if tucker and Bregman aren’t in the lineup Friday, go ahead and sell everything
