Not venturing over there.....but I assume zero bragging about being defending WS champs is going on, right? It was them that mocked us for living in the past for that last year, right? And compared us to longhorn fans for doing so...lol

When will he hit his first in 2024? pic.twitter.com/daffBWAgfq
That's not encouraging but spring training results are usually meaningless
Pena learned how to selectively hit the ball and keep it in the field of play after being chased by that big ol dog when he had to retrieve a ball that went over the fence. We should all support him in his decision.
Let's get it!!!!
Got MLB Pickle in 1 today. Hoping it is foreshadowing for an amazing year!!
Thanks again to FrioAg for the tickets today. Looking forward to meeting a few of the guys on here. Apparently some Farmer guy will be there.. anyone heard of him?
hopefully you get another no hitter to watchtexasaggie2015 said:

FOX Sports' @DeeshaThosar and @RowanKavner ranked their top 10 according to their top eight players under 28. ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/FKhMrJdk33Quote:
4. Houston Astros
Yordan lvarez, DH/OF, 27
Kyle Tucker, OF, 27
Cristian Javier, RHP, 27
Bryan Abreu, RHP, 27
Jeremy Peña, SS, 26
Yainer Diaz, C, 25
Hunter Brown, RHP, 25
Jacob Melton, OF, 23
Here's where the above ages come into play. Look at the stars on this top eight, and the Astros have a strong argument for the top spot. Both lvarez and Tucker are coming off back-to-back All-Star seasons. lvarez is arguably the most feared hitter in the sport when healthy. Tucker posted an OPS over .800 each of the past five years and has been worth more than 5 bWAR in the past three. This year will also be a great chance for Daz to solidify his place as one of the top-hitting catchers in the sport after a breakout rookie campaign (.282/.308/.538) in a more limited role.
With all that said, half of the players listed here are 27 years old, and with a farm system that leaves a lot to be desired, the drop-off is steep once those players graduate from this list next season. While Houston has managed to mine some gems from the minors in recent years Chas McCormick, a 21st-round pick in 2017, has an argument to be a top-20 outfielder this year there doesn't appear to be much franchise-altering talent on the way at the upper levels. Keep an eye on Melton, the Astros' top prospect who mashed 22 home runs and stole 46 bases between high-A and Double-A last season.
Another Framber no-hitter too. Wouldn't that be something?

Thanks!
Flagged. He better be gone for the damn season.
Reminder that I got a ban and threatened with a year long ban for posting a JV tweet over there by accident. I feel like any post on purpose should get more by that logic

What kind of a world do we live in where I can't post even Raquel Welch....
Pretty sure this was the cast from Smokey and the Bandit.07ag said:
I think we need to accept the fact that mods will not let us post any TOFA or AOFA, which I think is completely asinine IMO. Obviously the Mods want to keep it PG as best they can but deleting ladies in swimsuits from the 40s?? Really? ugh I am not doing this again this year
The neo-Puritans of Texags strike again.
Now they deleted my Village People picture. Does that mean they are anti-gay construction worker or anti-disco?
Astros related because Eric Anthony was working as a construction worker when he tried out for the Astros.

Final Record: 100-62
Division Finish: Winner
How Does it End: WS
Team MVP: Yordon
Team Cy Young: Framber
Biggest Suprise(s): JP finds his power and hits 25 boombas
Biggest Disappointment(s): Jake Myers still cant get over the hump
A Random Hot Take(s): Both Lance and Luace, take longer than we thought, and we have to deal at the deadline again for SP.

So that means Mr Gigem is banned for a year. Good to know that's being enforced.All I do is Nguyen said:
[KEEP ALL TRASH TALK OFF OF THIS THREAD OR GET BANNED. There is the warning to all Rangers posters and it is for the entire season. Make sure you are on the correct thread because we are not going to tolerate a bunch of "accident" posts. -Staff]
So dude that started their season thread is banned for a year?
Hey at least they reinstated the images for the OP, thank you mods
