March 30, 20241 yr Stanek trying to blow a 1-0 lead for Seattle in the 8th. Just got yanked, runners on the corners with 2 outs for Boston.

March 30, 20241 yr 3 hours ago, WBT said: They want blackouts to lead to the reasonable tier of package coverage. Doesn't usually work, but that's their thinking. Yeah/ but it’s so stupid. Iowa and Vegas, for example, have 5 or 6 teams blacked out. It’s dumb thinking. Make it like 250 miles or less (max) and only the closest team and call it a day.
March 30, 20241 yr Yainer walked. Javier was really good. I suspect if Abreu was not suspended this game plays out differently. on to tomorrow. Hunter brown gonna be good. Abreu needs to hit 7th (and maybe needs to fuck right off in favor of Loperfido).

Jose Abreu first HR on 2023: May 28 in Oakland, batting below #5 (at #6) 3 times before that. 2024: Houston at Oakland May 24-26. I don’t think I’ll be able to handle him waiting that long …batting that high…again Fortunately I don’t think Espada can either. Edited March 30, 20241 yr by UTexasFight

March 30, 20241 yr If they didn’t sign Montero to that contract, maybe Neris could have been resigned? You need more than 3 relievers for the regular season. If the team only has 3 quality relievers, Javier has to start the 7th inning. He still was under 100 pitches and facing the bottom of the lineup. He was a better option than Diplomatic Immunity.

No one is throwing close to 100 pitches their first time out, for damn sure not on this staff where we’re down 3-4 starters. if Abreu isn’t suspended we’re arguably 2-0. as said above, someone will step up into that 5th/6th inning role. Just hope it’s sooner than later (and have to hope everyone else stays healthy….or at least get there by October)
March 30, 20241 yr Too early for my annual "I've given up on this team because they've given up on me" post?

March 30, 20241 yr I still think the Abreu signing was the right call at the time given the understood alternatives. That said, it seems like we’ve lost our appetite for doing anything slightly unconventional, like trading a Miles Straw type for a lotto ticket(s) in the minors. Brown’s first real offseason reminded me of Hunsicker’s when fucking McLane would tell him to add players but not spend anything to do it (and we end up with Scuffy Moehler). The fact that a World Series aspirant is wasting a roster spot on Jon Singleton is befuddling.
March 30, 20241 yr Perfect weekend for this team to ressurect itself because its followers are feeling pretty down after Friday.

March 30, 20241 yr Dana Brown has been GM for a little over a year. He’s presided over one draft (early returns are very good), one trade deadline (where the only significant move was dictated by the owner) and one offseason (where the only significant move was dictated by the owner). Could he have done a better job with the meager resources he had to address the middle relief? Maybe, but it’s been 2 games. I feel pretty good one of the fringey arms (Scott looked fine that first game) he added will emerge. And if Abreu isn’t suspended Houston wins at least one of those games, possibly both. Im stoked about Meyers and Javier. I’m worried about Framber and Jose Abreu. But it’s early.
March 30, 20241 yr Fucking brutal … Dating back to last August, the Astros are 7-24 at Minute Maid Park, so not great, Michael.
March 30, 20241 yr Diaz up to 5 is good I guess. After the long grind of the first two games and with things going so well so far, I guess Chas and Meyers have earned a day off.

March 30, 20241 yr Author Let’s get this shit back on track. My first game at MMP this season - our guys really need to start playing well at home. It’s getting ridiculous.
