Nice. Gonna try and duck out of work around 4 or so and catch at least a few innings at GH.

Betting on spring training....that's dedication to gambling

On that note, there are some decent futures bets for this season: Astros +500 to win the World Series; JV +800 to win AL Cy Young, Altuve +550 to win AL MVP, and Correa +1000 to win AL MVP. I'll probably drop a little something on each of these and enjoy the ride.

How has Cole looked? Did the pitching coaches make any changes to his approach, delivery, etc?

a great move by your front office imo..

Maybe I don't pay attention enough but Brett Strom seems to be working wonders, under the radar. He must be highly regarded at this point. Is he getting any press on managerial positions?

Pretty damned good.  He's hitting 97 and his stuff looks filthy.  If he could keep up that K/9 and keep his WHIP a bit lower, no reason he couldn't win 15+ games.

IIRC, his first start was a little shaky, but he's been  nails since then.

have a friend going to Vegas this weekend and was going to have her place some bets. I’m liking that +1000 for Correa

I like McCullers at +1400 for the AL Cy Young.

Exactly. He's totally cool just riding out the next couple of years and retiring. 

Side note, my dad says they are 3rd cousins or some shit.

i just read one article I could find from November. The guy was working for his wife when he got the call from the Astros.

Let's do this shit, men!

This thread was an all time classic last year, a shame it didn't get its proper due.

Can we get 40 wheelbarrows to carry our nuts during the fuckin' parade (in November)?

Team shep reporting. Thanks to all who helped raise money for jaydon also.

Someone needs to bring over that Tejano dance gif from last year

Como?  You say we need something for when Astros win?  Correa hits three bombs?  Altuve hits for the cycle?  Verlander and Keuchel each throw 3 perfect games this year?

Fuck yes!

coworker just let me know she has 4 for tonight, if she doesnt invite me I am going to fire her ass

So, I think it's fate.  There is a truck I'm thinking of buying in McKinney.  I was upset about the drive.  Then realized Astros are playing in Arlington.  I think it's a sign

I'm disappointed in anyone who thinks we'll win fewer than 162 in the regular season. Hasn't this team proved itself?

Such a great gif.  I've been there before, so thoroughly confused, saying "I'm going to crush it if he throws that curve" then they throw it, it looks like it's going to hit me and my hands never got the message not to swing

Can't fucking wait for Saturday's during baseball season. Play 18 in the morning and watch the Stros in the evening.

I can't go tonight. If you want my 2 you can have them. 

Just renewed my MLB gameplan. Can't wait to be doing nothing for 162 games.

Need to order this shirt. I know someone posted the link on TOB. Anyone ordered one yet? How's the fit?

They are sold out currently. 

You can still place an order, I did.  I've done it before with a Rockets shirt.  Took awhile to come but it was a nice surprise when it did.
