I just looked up Altuve's spring batting stats.

I wish I hadn't.

They probably are not useful indicators of regular season performance.

dubon got the call up ...

Very racist. White boy Hader can't get some run?

Also speaking of HEB...is LMJ arm detached or did he make it through the night after his outing?

It was already a shit show at 2B, and there are more balls hit there than LF.

if someone starts the offseason thread before opening day, i'm punching them 

Astros are hosting a special a Retail 24-Hour Event at Union Station beginning at midnight on Thursday, March 20 (Wed night into Thur morning).


There will be special activities, Orbit, Shooting Stars & more. Breakfast will be served beginning at 5 am while supplies last.

Presley walks the bases loaded in his first appearance with the Cubs. That sounds familiar.

You guys are really crushing my Cam Smith dreams. 

If anybody does that, it’ll be Cam Smith…he’s crushed every other damn thing this spring.

Jose Altuve will play "most of his games" in left field this season, Joe Espada said today. He left the door open for things to change — injuries, good performances in the minor leagues — but made it clear that Altuve will open the season as the Astros' primary left fielder.

I appreciate Altuve willing to do whatever is needed for the team, but this idea is quickly accelerating into "everyone involved needs to be fired" territory.

Best team is probably Smith or Dezenzo in left and Chazzzz in right with Altuve at second

Then if Chazz sucks, bring up the other rookie

daikin roof stays closed, he won't have many shadow to sun fly balls
Hopefully they can fit it in the carry on for 81 away games

Thats also not the reason he is missing these. He sucks as an OF is why he is missing these. Roof open/closed isn't gonna matter

Cam Smith continues to mash everything in sight during the Grapefruit League 🔥

The @astros' No. 1 prospect ups his spring slash line to .419/.500/.871 with his fourth homer of camp:

RiP ....

Luis Garcia will not throw a scheduled live BP today because his elbow is sore, Joe Espada said. Garcia’s throwing will be stopped while he is evaluated, a setback in his attempt to return from Tommy John surgery.

Joe Espada said after the game yesterday that Cam Smith keeps pushing the Astros hand on making the opening day roster: 

"He's put himself in a really good position and we'll continue to evaluate him"

Luis Garcia faced hitters in October and, almost all winter, was considered ahead of Lance McCullers Jr. in their rehab schedules. It's unclear how things have derailed. The Astros reiterated this week they will not make any member of their medical staff available for interviews

TODAY'S ROSTER MOVES: 

The Astros optioned LHP Bennett Sousa and reassigned C Collin Price to minor league camp.

The most incompetent medical staff in all of professional sports.

What could Cam possibly do better to make the case? Dude is gonna be in the Rookie of the Year running at this point, assuming he gets a shot at it.

And I’ll be livid if he gets called up a month in to the season, wins the award, and we miss out on the draft pick

Didn't the Pirates do that with Skenes last year?

Seems like teams are overthinking this kind of stuff. Just let them play, and let their performance speak for them. There's room for Cam to start on this team, and they could use someone new to hype them up. Maybe him, Yainer and Pena can be start of the new wave of all stars for the next 10 years.

what number is cam going to sport ?
31

Guessing

Likely because he's out of shape, but the Astros medical team has to be one of the worst in baseball, so I am sure that doesn't help.

If you are worried about service time, fucking sign him to a long term deal today that buys out the 1st two years of FA along with his 6 years of control. Brown was with the Braves when they signed Acuna to a 8-$100M deal. Something similar could be done today, but the Acuna deal was done after his 1st two seasons with the Braves, so it was even better. If you want to wait a season, that is fine as well, but you should be looking to have Smith until he's 30.
