If you want to roll with Diaz then just do it. Signing Yuli is pointless.

    Going through old pics because of the death of my grandmother / mom and came across this -- 1996, my son's first Astros game.

Dubon is fine, just bat him 8th or 9th and not 2nd for christs sake. That’s all.

Wouldn't that depend on what player he's filling in for in the field?

How many times did dubon bat 2nd in the playoffs ?

Yeah. That’s overblown. He batted 2nd in 7 games (19 ABs) and actually did pretty well when doing so. .264/.304/.579

The more I looked at Yainer Diaz career lines I like the idea of letting him get the shot at first and DH.   Sign Yuli cheap and let the kid swing it.   He doesn't strike out often walks enough and shown enough power the last two years. 

Fuck no to Yuli. You can sign a real MLB player and still give Diaz developmental ABs.

That’s 7 too many times.

Those are 2 of Dusty’s favorites and his influence without a real GM has never been higher. So prepare for disappointment. 

I’m aware. I was  talking about what should, not what will. 

GDI it appears Bellinger is no longer going to be a Doyer. That was the perfect marriage.

Maybe the Yankees will sign him lol

With Diaz most likely gone, those qualities are even more important. 

His other important quality is not being Niko Goodrum.

Well if it isn't the Astros biggest pessimist supporter around

No matter what, we can all agree that Dubon is the greatest Honduran in World Series history.

It’s a damn shame Gerald Young had no help around him in the late ‘80s

Oh man. If we would have had surly back then could you imagine the Gerald Young vs. Eric Yelding debates? Ha.

Should we win again, I'm going to be all over a World Series Alt 2 hat. 

I have the away (2017) and the home (2022) World Series Champions hats. 

55 minutes ago, texashorne said:

Ok.. so new hats for ALT 2.. 

Those are the old hats. They haven’t worn those for a few years now. 

So are we gonna sign anyone or is this all surly gm talk. I really hope we upgrade the bats, stay with what pitching we have and go to deadline with the ability to trade for another arm if we need it.

Padres have some luxury tax issues so how serious this is will depend on how far ownership will be willing to go.

They’re already at the luxury tax and still need arms. Dumb dumb dumb

ALT2 pay homage to the rainbows but stops too short and will be one of those uniforms that people laugh at in 10-20 years. Just bring back the most glorious uni’s in baseball history as ALT2 for Sundays and to get a couple playoff games.

The two-tone caps are the one misstep since ending the Drayton mud and brick abomination.  We should wear solid blue and solid orange and that's it.

They basically don't wear any two-tone caps anymore. They haven't worn the alternate caps in a long time, and they pretty much wear solid blue on the road now too.

I wish they would bring back orange caps though.

Edited by formermav43

Yeah that's true.  I guess I'm mostly pissed that you haven't been able to get a solid orange cap with the WS patch.

I always thought the solid orange caps they wore at home for Saturdays and weekday day games (up through maybe 2015?) were a great look. It picks up the orange piping in the home uniform, and by the same token, the solid blue cap always made more sense for the road uniform with its blue piping. I'd like to see them bring back that orange to wear at home at least some of the time and with the Sunday alternate.

Erroneous, erroneous on all counts.  The Alt 2 is our best current uniform and a perfect homage.

I ordered 3 caps and on tshirt, got everything today 

Chas is better than fucking Mccutchen at this point

I bought a ton of shit planning to take half of it back. One of the white WS Champs t-shirts was printed with the words at least 30 degrees off horizontal, and not by design. I bought all three color combos of the 59fifty hat in the same size, and it was like the Goldilocks of sizing.

And capes!

And yeah, hard pass on the ghost of Andrew McCutcheon.

From an online order of merch day after the win....only 1 item arrived. That poster. It's sweet. They included a link to a photo to use for phone wallpaper. Sharing both sizes with you all.
 

Damn it still feels good to be a champ.
