March 28, 20214 yr Watching Yordan circle the bases is exciting yet painful to watch. I don’t see a lot of triples in his future.
March 28, 20214 yr love seeing both of them go to center-ish, because i already expect both to have some cheap down the line shots in mmp.

Good for him, nice pension for a journeyman ballplayer. He's currently the hitting coach for the Reds Double A team. Edited March 28, 20214 yr by Gourmand
March 28, 20214 yr Not only are there 5 star SS in free agency aside from Correa, Houston also has the option to acquire a corner infielder and move Bregman to SS. Kris Bryant, Freddie Freeman, or Anthony Rizzo could replace Correa’s offense and none of them will be asking for $300M+. Houston also has Jeremy Pena, whose prospect stock is rising quickly. If he continues to show the 20 HR power he displayed since last year he is looking at a career like Brandon Crawford or Willy Adames which is a 3-4 win player. And if all that fails then you’ve got the option to make a trade or just pay one of the studs (possibly even circling back to Correa). Giving Correa $200M+ right now would be stupid imho. $170M/6yrs would be about the max I would offer.
March 28, 20214 yr yeah, i think it's also a little silly that some here or in the media are like, "well, looks like the astros are going to wait and see how he looks this season." if he's banged up and/or not very good - we won't sign him. if he's awesome, he'll hit free agency, and someone else will surely pony up far beyond anything we would offer. the point is to take what we know and make an appropriate offer that makes sense for him, the team, and the fans. 6-120 tells me everything i need to know.
March 28, 20214 yr Yeah, you are giving up great defense at 3rd for him to play a very mediocre short. It would result in worse defense at both spots which isn't ideal for the left side of the infield. Edited March 28, 20214 yr by kevwun

March 29, 20214 yr so looks like mike fiers will miss the first series of the year against the (checks notes) houston astros. what a shocking and surprising piece of information.
March 29, 20214 yr While we're going around the division, Blum just said on the broadcast that the Rangers are cutting Odor. He's still owed $24 million. That's a shame.
March 29, 20214 yr There's been a bit of chatter on social media lately about this look. I fuckin HATED these jerseys and can't believe the incredibly outsized positive reception for this look in the last week since LMJ tweeted at Correa about throwback unis. What says the surl?

Amazing that a puny little guy like Altuve can stick around when a much better player like Rougie Odor gets DFAd.

March 29, 20214 yr 2 minutes ago, henrygandorf said: they rank ahead of the brick red bullshit. and behind every other throwback uniform. That's probably right I guess but I really hate both of them. Hard to believe Drayton fucked up our unis so bad twice.

I didn't like the pinstripe unis either. What I hated then about this one and still hate about it today is the lack of consistency with the color scheme or logo. Where's the orange? And what the fuck is this gold shit? And why is the goddamn star open???? Almost as bad as the Rockets Jetsons-inspired uniform. getoffmylawn.gif

Somebody tell me why this is a good idea. has Altuve looked closer to his old self this spring (the guy that makes a pitcher work, takes walks, slaps singles/doubles or whatever the pitcher gives him) Or closer to the broken, old, worn down slugger who is all or nothing and can barely run to first base that his game has resembled more often than not the past 2 years?

I like them but concede is it primarily sentimental as a 10-15 year old playing little league and buying every baseball card I could find during those days. I hate the red/pinstripes. My favorite are the rainbows on the shoulder from the late 80s/early nineties.

March 29, 20214 yr Odorizzi was better today. 3 IP 3 H 1 R 0 ER 1 BB 3 K 0 HR Also I may have missed it being posted here but I found out on today's broadcast that Urquidy has a pet pig.

If he hits something like he did in 2019 (.298/.353/.550), that's not terribly different than what we had in Springer (.265/.359/.540 last year). I don't think we'll ever see the Altuve of 2014-2018 again. Obviously he was a mess last year until the last 2 playoff series. But if he is more or less what he was in '19 (which seemed disappointing at the time, ah the good ol days), he'll be good.
March 29, 20214 yr I like the Blues...but I liked the one with only the star on the chest better. I actually like most of the unis just not anything once they moved into Enron until they changed to current. (I gould tolerate the black ones, but the reds and pinstripe were wack as fuck)
