Can't wait to catch some games at The Daik.

[Nice Guy Eddie 13,474]

nothing says Houston like air conditioning

[MirrOlure 14,723]

That is just plain gross.

Morosi is floating Willy Adames being a target to play 3rd if Bregman is gone (although he is gonna have numerous suitors).  

I wouldn't hate it.  

I like Breggy, but Adames is the better baseball player when projecting 2025-2030.

How many people can the Daik take in at once?

It seems that Adames moving to 3B is a given because that's been talked about all off-season. I agree with you, it would be a nice replacement.

His walk rate hs improved significantly in the past two seasons. While the Ks are still high, he's got a 10%+ walk rate to balance it out.

Wouldn'y be 2024 if we didnt have a park named after lesbians in America

Welcome to The Dike House...or Dyke if you wish

[DoobieWah 1,426]

At least this year’s bobble heads should be interesting. 
 

🤔

[Hornsbay22 465]

Day Ken or Dyke in? 

[YChang 3,437]

As someone that just visited Osaka I'm all for this... hell let's start scouting some Japanese/Korean/Taiwanese players too.

When we finally get a WNBA team, it would be a natural fit for them to play there. 

[Scraps 13,558]

The way Kalas pronounced it is the 2nd one

[MirrOlure 14,723]

Day Ken or Dyke in? 

Either way, Daikon Park sounds more like a Korean pitcher prospect than a stadium name

[UTPhil2006 3,799]

Yamamoto and Ohtani confirmed 

[UTexasFight 9,417]

This place is going to be spelled correctly less than 20% of the time

Daikan

Daikon

Diakan

Diakon

Diakin

Daikin!

[TejasPedro 1,857]

Can we get a super cold zone for smoking hot Shooting Stars. Call it Planet  “Niptune” Copyright pending. 
 

 

[Storm the Field 5,287]

All part of the big plan to eventually move the team to Japan. You heard it here first!

I call it Enron Field. His momma named him Clay, I'm gonna call him Clay. 

now if Daikan pays me to call it Daikan, I'm open to offers. I'll be by the phone waiting.

Maybe the years are different, but I doubt there’s much difference in annual salary.

If there was someone out there willing to offer Bregman the Machado contract he would have signed already.  
 

Also, Ken Rosenthal is the Chip Brown of national baseball coverage.  I have it all on good authority (aka @Wulaw Horn) that if it’s not on Jose De Jesus Ortiz’s Twitter you can ignore it.  

[Scraps 13,558]

Bregman should get like 5 mil more per year than Adames I would think

If he ends up signing somewhere else, how booed does Alex Bregman get when he returns to Houston?

No shit, maybe these Japanese lesbians can get it below 78 inside in the summer

Not at all?  Have Springer and Correa been booed?

Astros fans save their booing for guys like Pujols...because he was good at baseball.

I love the fact that I don’t talk about that fuckwit almost ever but you understand my loathing for him.  Thank you for getting me.

So if this Japanese air conditioning company can actually get it down to 72 in the ballpark, I assume we call it the Ice Box instead of the Juice Box?

And Beltran. Which I thought was so stupid at the time but turns out I guess I was the only one that couldn’t see in to the future and what 2019 would bring.

Oh dear. If Dana can’t do better than draft linebackers hitting in the 9 hole for Oregon (not Oregon St…Oregon) then the problems are even bigger than originally thought.

[runthebone 7,956]

As long as the AC blows in when we're pitching and blows out when we're hitting, Fukushima Daiichi is ok with me.  That's how we were able to afford OK-ert.
