I waited in line for Marcelo Mayer and Jordan Lawlar autographs, both seemed very down to earth and joked around with people waiting for autos. I told Jordan Lawlar that the Astros may be looking for a shortstop soon and he just smiled and said "I love Carlos Correa"
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.
You mean Johnny Bravo? And why for the love of all things holy do we play Josh Abbott's "My Texas" after every home win? Josh is a Rangers fan by the way.
Look, I'm not here to piss in our cheerios. I'm just repeating what a player on that 2017 team & I discussed..... We were using the system in the postseason.
The most simplest response I tell to the cHeAtErS!!!!!! crowd when they bring up the Danny Farquhar at bat against Evan Gattis is.... Gattis struck out
The reason a tell all book hasn't been written is that all of the current players, at the end of the day, do care about other players well being and safety and there is a mutual respect across the league. When this generation of players retire multiple books will be released covering every little detail of the "sign stealing era" like how Altuve used "the system" in Game 1 of the 2017 ALDS.
I'm the biggest Astros homer on this planet but we cheated during the postseason in 2017. This is coming from someone who was literally in the dugout. For example, Game 5 against Kershaw, we swung and missed ONE time. Seriously, go look at the tape.
I'm really good friends with a former Astro from 2017. Only the tip of the iceberg has been brought to light. I have about 10 bombshells that I will always keep to myself because I know the dam will break a la Jose Canseco in a few years. Memoirs and tell alls will be written about this era. Why? Because money.
I think the first to crack will be Cody Bellinger's minor league roommate. You heard it here first.
