Pena runs too funny to play the outfield

Correa should be getting the standing ovations over Springer. He wants to come back after this season and was one of the first to embrace all of the hate and defend his guys
Good friend knows someone pretty high up in the organization

Honestly, if we are talking about Correa level money, I would rather see them go out and get an elite center fielder. Correa felt he was the heart of the team and was indispensable so he expected the Astros to pay him more to keep him, but this year showed that wasn't the case. If he wants to come back, I would not be happy if they brought him back for top dollar and went with a makeshift outfield again. If he likes it so much and wants to be here so bad, the money he asks for needs to reflect the reality that he needs the Astros more than the Astros need him right now.

Uncle Mike and Gurriel come off the books this year, but JV is going to want to get paid and Tucker is coming up soon. Might have to trade off Urquidy or Garcia to get an outfielder worth it.

Game 1, on 10/11, is most assuredly going to be a a noon or 1 start time.

I love that start time. If not there in person, day drinking on what looks to be a beautiful Tuesday watching baseball? Hard to beat.
Seeing how the Yankees will be the 2 seed, there is a 100% chance their game will get the primetime slot for TBStxags92 said:Assume we will be on in the mid-afternoon when everybody is supposed to be working and you shouldn't be too far off.schmendeler said:

Jim Crane says the Houston Astros are planning a Minute Maid Park entertainment district, with construction likely to begin sometime in 2022.
Entertainment districts are all the rage in Major League Baseball, as successes like The Battery in Atlanta, Ballpark Village in St. Louis and Wrigleyville in Chicago are inspiring owners across the majors to eye their own developments. (No, we're not going to weigh in on the fact that they also allow MLB owners to shield some baseball-generated revenues from playersanother enticement for owners.) The Astros, which have already renovated portions of Minute Maid Park, including the Ultra Club and Gallagher Club, are hopping on that train with a mixed-use development next to Union Station and a closed ballpark restaurant.
The development sounds to be a little more modest in scope, with 1.738 acres under team control planned for construction, as well as land to be made available when the Texas Department of Transportation reroutes U.S. 59 and Interstate 45 next to the ballpark.
"We think that will bring a lot of people downtown," Crane said in a post-World Series press conference. "The area continues to improve around us. When we came in there was an old boarded up building where those apartments are. So I think this is going to be the spot. If they get the freeway done and it goes underground that's going to be a park, so this area's going to be a primetime area down the road for everybody to come down and enjoy the ballpark. And I think a lot more people are moving downtown which also helps us. So everything looks good, on the bright side."
