My son is at the same clinic!
We left at lunch break. Way to many kids. Plus I was parked in mud hole. Lilshep didn't want maldy to sign anything of his. He just wanted to get to work and learn.

There was probably a pile of sharpies 15 feet behind Maldy

Because he missed them and let them roll to the backstop, right?

I had to have a chat with lilshep before camp. Told him to be polite and respectful to maldy don't go full surly. His response but dad he sucked last year and it should have been Yanier.

We had to park in the muddy area and got boxed in so stayed until 6:15. I was spraying mud all the way down 288. That was a great group to learn from.  Bracamonte had a great station on arm care.

I don’t like him, but the key to the salty dump is Chas bc he’s got the most value to offload LMJ and Montero. And bellinger is your Chas replacement and your Abreu replacement after 25 (Astors have lots of OF- no 1B in minors) or you make this team worse instead of better. But yeah- don’t like him.

I am getting both of their autos but got to make sure i get Dusty first so he doesn't mark out Diaz auto

Brac would be a great source for catching and arm care lessons

We are saddened to hear of the passing of former Astros Manager Jimy Williams. Jimy spent three (2002-2004) of his 12 MLB seasons as the Astros Manager. We send our heartfelt condolences to Jimy’s family and friends.

Yeah, edited after I looked up the Passan tweet.  Not vesting, changes from team option to player option at 60 appearances.  I agree that's a pretty good deal for him at his age but I think it could still work out well for the Cubs too.

Loved the Neris. I wish we could have kept him, but knew that wasn’t going to happen.

Yankees claim lefty reliever Matt Gage. He’d been placed on waivers by the Astros. Upstate NY native.

Just saw this while looking up the coaching staffs for our minor league teams:

Former major league players Jay Bruce and John Valentin will join the Astros’ organization this season as minor league special advisors, the team announced Monday.

#2178

Good hires.  Especially Jay Bruce from the mean streets of Beaumont.

#2181

Oh cool, Jay Bruce is my friend's cousin. I'll have to bug him to see if he can hook us up with good tickets.

ESPN rated Jacob Melton #74 in their top 100. Making the comparison to Josh Reddick, but with the ability to steal bases. Reddick's career high was 11.

Melton will strike out a lot more than Reddick ever did.  Melton will also hit more HR and steal more bases.  Other than being fairly athletic lefthanded OF, they’re not very similar.  Melton might be the midpoint of Reddick and Joey Gallo.

The Angels announced that they have traded infielder/outfielder Trey Cabbage, who was recently designated for assignment, to the Astros. In exchange, the Angels will receive minor league right-hander Carlos Espinosa. The Astros designated right-hander Declan Cronin for assignment to open a roster spot for Cabbage.

Jonathan Mayo's scouting report on Astros' top hitting prospect, Jacob Melton.Personally, I'd like to see him break out offensively this season. He isn't as close to the bigs in my eyes as he is others. Only 52 AB's higher than A ball. https://t.co/GcOvzamK9J

Lefty bat that had a huge season in AAA. Probably competing with Singleton for that lefty hitting spot on the bench, with Cabbage's ability to play the OF giving him a chance.

Hopefully, he doesn’t bring any emotional cabbage with him.

He made his debut against Hou and in third game went 3-3

Ahh.. that’s it. I was like “I swear I know this guy from somewhere…I thought he already had some connection to us.”

that was that Sunday afternoon game in Anaheim right after the all star break where the teams scored like ~15 runs in the final 3 innings and Bregs, Tucker and Ohtani all homered in the 9th.

That sounds promising, but enthusiasm should be tempered until we know what we’ve got in Cabbage.  Romaine calm.

He’s no kid but could be a much needed patch for the bench depth. 


he’s not beating out julks is my guess
