I'm hoping Korey Lee can be our first catcher that can hit since...

Mitch Meluskey. For one brief, shining season.

He actually got invited to the All Star game as a replacement last minute but was drunk as shit at South Padre and did not answer his phone.

This can go one of two ways.  Either he’s a good dad, and his sleep-deprived, distracted, worried ass is about to turn in by far the worst season of his career.  Or he’s a piece of shit, in which case he will run to baseball as a justified escape from the horrors of parenthood, in which case he’s gonna be AL MVP.  Here’s hoping he’s a POS.

due in August.

fucking poor planning.

Another problem with Meluskey was that baseballs weren't the only thing he could hit.

At least its not late October

Kiley McDaniel (ESPN prospect guy, formerly at Fangraphs) released his top 100 today. Has Pena ranked #48 and Hunter Brown at #88.

If he has any sense he will use baseball as a refuge from the horrors of living under the same roof as a baby. Babies are the worst.

This is where my head went, but as already pointed out, he avoids the pennant race/postseason.

 

and with our manager/FO penchant for “resting” guys he was probably in line to be sitting a lot in August anyway, so might as well be on the paternity list.

Sorry for partying. Don’t tell Alex. 

Pitchers and catchers were scheduled to report today with the 1st game on February 26. Yet all we have to talk about is the Bregnancy. Fuck Manfred!

The only ball ever hit right to me in a baseball stadium was a HR to RF by Meluskey on Mother's Day 2000 on ESPN Sunday night baseball during the inaugural season at the juice box (of course we all know what it was then). I still have that ball, but damn it's a letdown that it was hit by that bum Meluskey and not by Biggio, Bagwell, Caminiti, or Alou.

Ahem, that’s Mr. Astros all-time single season leader in OPS by a catcher” Meluskey to you, good sir 

(.888)

Rookie Meluskey cutting in line in front of Matt Mieske, a veteran journeyman, to take BP was a big, big no no per our veterans.  Then Meluskey dotted his eye. You just don't do that.

Mieske.

Meluskey had a lot of hitting talent.  Shoulder injuries killed his career.

Actually that's perfect timing.  We always suck shit in August so get the kid out of the way before the September push starts.

I’m telling you, this is gonna be the year for Whitley. He is going to break out and be above average to really good.

Cool. 

I just want him to pitch in the majors at some point in his fucking career

Me too. I’m not giving up on him. He’s still not that old and he’s got talent. At least he did before TJ surgery. I’m dollar cost averaging his stock right now. 

Houston has excellent SP depth so they could sustain losing McCullers for a good chunk of the season and probably be ok, but not having him for the playoffs would be fuckin devastating.

Seems odd that if he knew he needed TJ he would not have already had the surgery (or at least announced it).

Yeah if McCullers is out again for TJ, he ain't coming back until late 2023.

Yup dad and I were discussing those baptism pics and him having the guys over watching the UFC fight....hope they are convincing him to stay more and more....and his wife is a texas girl.  LA, Redsox, Yankees teammates would seem like they suck, Carlos.

none of this fills me with confidence, and he's not going to make an injury announcement in the middle of the lockout.

 

and while i'm not on the side of the owners, at all, i don't like the finger pointing.  i find it hard to believe that rich athletes can't find proper rehab.
