    Lifelong Astros diehard here, but I might have to find a new team with a less annoying fanbase.  I'd have been much more pissed at keeping Tucker and letting him walk for nothing this offseason t

Chandler: Astros have informed Singleton he will not make the Opening Day Roster, Joe Espada said.

I'm assuming that means Dezenzo is in. Last domino left to fall is likely Chas vs. Cam. 

 

Singleton not only not making OD roster but informed not on the team either according to McTaggart.

Well, it was a great comeback story, and I wish Singleton the best in the future but am glad they have moved on.

Finally moving on from Singleton is a nice surprise.

He’s out of options so there could be no other outcome. 

Kinda surprised by him not making it as a lefty bat with power off the bench.

According to #Astros GM Dana Brown, they have not made a final decision yet, but all indications are that rookie Cam Smith will be Houston's starting RF on opening day.

very un-Astros if true.

lfgooooo.

Van Wey also told he isn't making the team

But Montero did....hold on to yer butts

You knew Gamel wasn't getting that $1M unless he raked in spring training. 

 

Does the CBA allow them to replace the "Montero" on the jersey with "Sunk Cost"?

Sparky with a cool story...a veteran faked a sore hamstring so that Sparks's winter league roommate could make the OD roster.  Went 3 for 4 and had a four year career

The Padres have informed Yuli Gurriel that he made the Opening Day roster, per sources. 

No decision has been made yet on José Iglesias.

Astros top prospect Cam Smith, outfielder Cooper Hummel, middle infielder Zack Short and second baseman Brendan Rodgers are still in the running for two spots, assuming Dezenzo is on the roster. Hummel can play the corner outfield spots and is a switch-hitter, which could help his case considering Houston’s lack of left-handed bats.

“The next three days, the next three games are big for a lot of these players and the decisions we are making,” Espada said. “I’m really going to try to run the clock here and make sure we give these guys an opportunity with a good look for us as a front office to sit down to make the best decisions for our club.”

Miyagi would have Garcia back for opening day!

Yuli Gurriel, Jose Iglesias, Gavin Sheets and Martín Maldonado will be on Padres’ opening-day roster.

One bench spot remains

So I keep seeing that the Rangers are one of the favorites to win the AL.

Did I miss something?

Fangraphs projects the Astros, Rangers and Mariners to all be between 83-85 wins.

Is Fubo still the best option for tv viewing?

Probably.

But depending on your schedule you may not need it until Monday.

Thursday’s game is at 3:10.

Friday is on Apple TV+ (FUBO won’t help)

Saturday is on Fox (over the air)

No game Sunday.

 

 

I’ll be rolling with MLB.tv (net $100 after MLBPAA membership) and a DNS/VPN service for less than $5/mo

I have been wanting to do that, but I have both of my TVs setup through Google TV Devices.  To the googles to see if that's possible.

Joe Espada said Christian Walker played 6 innings of defense, 3 ABs, one for a HR. Plan is to play 7-8 innings tomorrow and travel to Houston. "Should be good for Thursday".

I watch through the MLB app on Roku. Unlocator.com for the dns service.
I do have to fiddle with network settings if I want to flip back to my espn app as it’s somehow smart enough to figure out what’s going on, but it takes less than 15 seconds. I haven’t encountered any issues with watching any other channel/app with the dns settings enabled.
