this conversation made me start wondering - what the hell did we wear on the road with our rainbow being primarily home jerseys.

so i looked at game 3 (i'm so sorry) video...did we just wear the 1986 from the chart as our roadies?

Tequila Sunrise: 1975-1986

The 1975 season brought the first truly radical uniform change in Astros history and, arguably, the most radical uniform redesign in major league history. The orange caps with a white H on a navy star remained (though an early prototype replaced them as well), but everything else changed, most notably the jersey. Now a pull-over, the new Astros jersey, which was worn both at home and on the road, featured a solid block of red, orange, and yellow stripes from the chest down which has since come to be known as the "tequila sunrise" design after the similarly gradated cocktail. Amid those stripes, on the left abdomen, was a large navy star, and above the stripes was a newly-stylized navy "Astros." This jersey also went under various tweaks over the years (primarily to the specific stripe pattern, number stylization on the back, and outline color for the big navy star), and became a home-only jersey in 1980 (the same year that the navy number on the upper right thigh of the pants was eliminated). However, it remained a part of the Astros' standard uniform set for a dozen seasons and has remained the most popular of the team's throwback jerseys.

Tequila shoulders: 1980-1993

The longest running uniform design in Astros history started out as a road alternative to the full-blown tequila sunrise look in 1980, their first full season under owner John McMullen, relegating the latter jersey to home games. This new look brought back the navy cap with an orange star, which would replace the orange cap at home as well in 1983, and limited the tequila-sunrise pattern to five stripes running down the sleeves of an otherwise white uniform and outlined in navy. The only color elsewhere on the uniform was navy in the form of a single navy stripe down the sides and legs, navy stripes on the waistband, navy stirrups (which had returned, sans-star, in 1975), a larger version of the "Astros" wordmark, and a smaller navy star on the left abdomen, both in navy. By 1987, this uniform had replaced the tequila sunrise look at home, as well, and was thereafter both the home and road look for the Astros through 1993.

So, 75-79 = full rainbow home and away

80-86 = full rainbow home, rainbow sleeves away

87-93 = rainbow sleeves, home and away

re: announcement - is this gonna be like a hinch extension?  luhnow?  what do our non-players contracts look like?

obviously any player contract would be beyond huge, and doubtful it'll happen right now.

+1 for Hinch contract extension.

Not having him locked up past this season seemed surprising to me before this year started

 

I would have said maybe a new minor league player development announcement with Fresno playing Round Rock right now, but don’t believe any discussions on that can occur until after the season.

Farm report from The Athletic, good stuff.

The Astros lead the league in runs the seventh inning or later (135) but are 3-21 when trailing after 7. That seems weird

The flip side of that is that we are 45-4 games when leading or tied after 7, but our bullpen feels much worse than that.

We like kicking people when they’re down but punch us in the face and we fold?

Nice
Heading over to Round Rock shortly (weather permitting). Looking forward to seeing James on the mound.

Fresno is salty these days, even with White and Kemp up with the big club right now.

The playoff run last season says differently, but yeah, sometimes it really feels that way.  They absolutely feast on shitty pitching.
