March 28, 20241 yr We know our guys will be there at the end of the season. Let’s avenge last year and take home a third ring. 2024 - keep the dynasty train rolling.
March 28, 20241 yr Time to avenge 2023. Last season was a slog for the most part. Hoping 2024 is more enjoyable.

March 28, 20241 yr After a hard look at our schedule I have come to the conclusion that they will go 99-63. Starting out the season fast with a 39-19 record through May.

March 28, 20241 yr If the crowd isn't roaring because of Opening Day already then they shouldn't be there

March 28, 20241 yr Tops Drop…let’s ride!! Need to shut up all these Rangers fans here in the metroplex!
March 28, 20241 yr If anyone has a free ticket due to last second changes, I’m in. I live about 5 mins from the field
March 28, 20241 yr The Astros haven't announced their Opening Day roster, but they optioned Corey Julks to Triple-A, according to their transactions page. That would mean Grae Kessinger made the roster.

March 28, 20241 yr The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time.
March 28, 20241 yr Tayler Scott made the Astros’ Opening Day roster. Lance McCullers Jr goes to the 60-day IL to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. Bennett Sousa is on the 15-day IL with “left shoulder inflammation.”
March 28, 20241 yr The Astros against Nestor Cortes: Altuve 4, Alvarez DH, Tucker 9, Bregman 5, Abreu 3, McCormick 7, Diaz 2, Peña 6, Meyers 8 Valdez LHP
March 28, 20241 yr Astros Opening Day roster: Valdez Javier Brown Blanco France Caratini Diaz Altuve Abreu Bregman Peña Alvarez McCormick Meyers Tucker Dubón Kessinger Singleton Hader Pressly Martinez Montero Bielak Scott Mushinski

Bennett Sousa is on the 15-day IL with “left shoulder inflammation.” If you had McCullers to the IL on your bingo card (I think it is the automatic X in the middle) go ahead and fill it in.

Bench is solid. Rotation high variance. Leverage relief kicks ass. Middle relief very suspect.
March 28, 20241 yr Espada said Alvarez hitting second and Tucker hitting third will be the lineup on a daily basis for the most part.
March 28, 20241 yr Blanco and France will pitch Sunday ans Monday. The order has yet to be decided. France’s wife is expecting a baby, which is why there still some uncertainty.

France’s wife is expecting a baby, which is why there still some uncertainty. Damn, Blanco's wife just had a baby a day ago. I'd like to think that both pregnancies happened during a key party amongst the Astros starting pitching staff right after JV came back and brought Kate with him. And that Case McCoy has the tape somewhere.
March 28, 20241 yr Things that will definitely happen this year: Astros win 100+ games The thread enjoys the fact that most lineup decisions are defensible and make sense LMJ pitches more than 20 innings Garcia pitches more than 40 innings Yordan wins an MVP Bregman has a monster year Hunter Brown takes a huge step forward Javier goes back to being good at baseball The lineup scores somewhere between 850 and 900 runs The pitching staff gives up less than 700 runs 2 Astros receive CY Young votes and neither one is JV Forest Whitley throws his first pitch in the major leagues Jake Meyers is passable at the plate- hits 9th- everyone bitches about him (ops+ of 95) Jeremy Pena hits a home run sometime in the second half of the season- unlike last year Yainer has an 850 or so OPS and is worth 3.5 or 4 wins Maldonado is released. Someone on here suggests we bring him back to work with the pitchers- I establish a rock solid alibi and then hunt them down and stab them in the neck We do nothing particularly exciting at the deadline Bryan Abreu has an ERA slightly less than 18 and he's still capable of getting major league hitters out We go into the playoffs as the betting line favorites to win the AL. JP France, Ronel Blanco and Brandon Bielak have a combined era between 4.25-4.75 and a winning record overall. People still fret about how we need more pitching b/c a couple guys sort of suck.
