    Two Diamond Club tickets available for the Sunday night game.  Free.  Need to pick them up from me in 77027. Rules: Poster must be a big contributor to this thread/last years shag thread.  No gue



The friggin bandwagoners are gonna kill me this year. No baseball etiquette or knowledge at all. Walking up and down the aisles during at bats. It really was amateur hour out there tonight.


To be fair, it’s amateur hour on opening day every year.
It’s like the New Years Eve of baseball.

Oh is this where we start with the No True Fan fallacies?

Ill give wiggy credit on one thing, he didnt jump on the bandwagon the past few years. Nice guy. I think when you dress up like those 2 , you are making it about yourself and not the team. Dont understand why people feel the need to do it.

 

Anybody giving Wiggy shit needs to go thru me. That dude has thrown down that look thru some pretty horrid seasons on a consistent basis. (Home and away at times.) He deserves big time credit for not being a band wagon fan firstly and sticking with his team (and look) thru the years.

 

The above also applies to Asian sign Lady and that dude with the big Mexican hat/mustache as well.

Remember, it's all those bandwagon fans that are paying for the Altuve extension as well as any other payroll increases.

Our production, through the first 5 games, in the bottom of the lineup has been stellar. I'd fucking hate seeing us as an opposing pitcher.

The Orioles are like, ok we didn' get to Morton.  We're all good.  Now we only have to face Verlander and DK.  Shit.

Clueless “etiquette” is the price of success, I suppose. Let’s hope folks in the stands figure it out soon...or let real fans have those seats.

I had a sad moment the other day.  I was wearing my World Series Champs hoodie and I realized that the next time it's cold enough for a World Series Champs hoodie, I'll be wearing a different one.  And I started to miss the one from 2017 already.  Dynasty problems, man.

I’m about to put my hoodie and 10 caps into cold storage forever.

This team makes scoring 8 runs look pedestrian.

When Gurriel gets back, Hinch will install the 10-run-minimum offense.

It's really weird to think our starting 5 could all be potential all star or cy young candidates. This staff is just ridiculous.

One thing I learned last year is Hinch doesn't always speak the truth on these matters.  

One note from last night is JD Davis looked like a legit first baseman....Took me back to the Bagwell days the way he was stretching out to get short hop throws.

Yeah, Davis was a vacuum cleaner out there. Very impressed with his play at 1B.

Why all the Wiggy hate?  I have a great appreciation for that dude.  Hell, the way he has supported the team for years he should get a ring today.  Or at least get to ride on one of the fire trucks in the parade this year.

Prob because there are hundreds of other fans who would deserve that as well yet they don't dress up like Flavor Flav so no one knows who they are.

 

 

I personally dont give a shit one way or another. I know the dude has been around, but i know plenty who have been around.

Hinch channels his inner hockey coach very well on this subject.

 

translation: Correa’s foot is bruised, but he wasn’t missing the start for THAT game because of it.

Yep. I read that to mean “10 day DL when he doesn’t play tonight because they wanted to give him an extra day... or tomorrow because it’s a day game... and then Thursday is an off day. So friday he goes on the DL retro to today.”

I wonder if they hear from the commissioners office on a retro one given the 5 game suspension.  Could be looked at as gaming it

Davis was killing it at first base. Team is making it look easy.

Fisher has been hitting some rockets off of LHP.  His plate discipline has looked good as well.

First $1 dog night of the season. Pace yourselves, boys. 

opening day hurts.

ready for tonight!

I'm back, but who give a fuck. The Stros are on the way to winning the world again!!

I was speculating about Corrrea, but yeah was wondering that about the Yuli situation.

That's an interesting slant.

I'm a little hungover

Looking forward to tonight. Get to see the Stros get their bling and the birds serve them up an easy W

Only two days left until the minors schedule kicks off. Obviously we will have a nightly Ted Tucker Watch but I'm  interested in seeing what guys like Armenteros, Alvarez, Valdez, and Perez do and will also be watching the box scores of last year's top draft picks. Notably, the organization is starting 2nd rd pick and Aggie Corbin Martin at High A Buies Creek with #1 pick Bukauskas at low A Quad Cities. Make of it what you will.

Looks like my sons little league game might be cancelled due to rain.  May have to take him to the game instead.

How long is Whitley out?

50 games, or 1/2 a Jon Singleton.

This drives me nuts too.  I don't recall if they do it now, but Minute Maid should have the attendants hold people returning to seats at the top of the stairs until the teams are switching sides.  I've seen it done at Pac Bell, Comerica, and CitiField.  It cuts down on foot traffic during an inning, both up and down

An entire half inning?
You’re crazy.
They do hold them until in between at-bats, at least in the 2%er field box sections down first and third baselines

Only so they don't get killed. Not to help game watching

Some might argue that not witnessing  fellow spectators being killed improves  game watching.

Those people are weak.
