Pretty perfect game to take a three year old to. Was over before he got too bored and got to see a couple homers. Thanks @UTPhil2006 for the suggestion about the first game certificate, had plenty of

I’m just glad I survived another season of being the official thread starter. Thank you all for your continued support in this emotional time.   In more ways than one with tonight’s result:

Holy shit. Jose Abreu consented to a demotion to WPB to work on his swing and timing. He's off the roster.

I don’t see any chance he ever plays for Houston again.  They will either trade him or release him in the next few weeks.

Bregman had his best swing of the season on Sunday. He’s fixed and the Astros are going to win a ton of games in a row. He told espn that so we are good. 

Yeah he barreled his first ball in what 300+ pitches? I am proud of him

Haha. Man I always get excited/anxious when I don’t check the news and come to this thread in the middle of an afternoon and see I missed ~40 posts in the last couple of hours.

what’s happened?

is it good?

nah. Someone’s arm probably fell off. Or someone probably assaulted a female until her fell off. Or entire team is still suffering from Montezuma’s revenge and has forfeited tonight.

 

this time, pleasantly surprised!

They should send Dana brown to the minors for signing him to that deal. What a fucking terrible signing that was. 

That happened before Brown was hired.  It's all on Crane and Bagwell.

Abreu being sent to Palm Beach is a win-win. We'll put a better 1B on the field and there's the small chance Abreu figures something out an gets his shit together. If not then bye Felicia. 

If Dusty was still here, his ass would be starting at 1B until infinity.

Yeah- hopefully the sarcasm was dripping through in my post.  Whatever- cocky Bregman is better than humble Bregman. But I'm not convinced. His head is pretty far up his ass...

probably so, but I would rather them just bring up Salazar and let Caratini play more (C, DH, 1B) with Diaz, Yordan, Loperfido all rotating their available positions....Singleton can be the new Kessinger and never play

You don't become this unplayable- even if you are old- without being hurt.  Period.  End of story. He's either nursing an injury that will get better, or more likely refusing to acknowledge that at his age the back stuff he has going on is probably career ending. I do not believe this is age related decline b/c of how terrible it is.

The smartest thing an Astro player can do is be nice to the media. Other than Astros Twitter, this is a very laid back sports town. Throw them tickets, invite them to charity balls, appear on their shows. 

975 on the drive home was advocating offering Bregman a 3 year contract today to “take the pressure off and keep him from pressing.” You can’t make this shit up if you tried.

Salisbury and LaLima were advocating for more time for Abreu just this morning.

Can we petition 790 to remove them? 

790 sucks except for Clanton and Wexler. Payne & Pendergast or John & Lance are the only options for morning drive sports radio in H-town.
