This is the kinda **** that's going to get so tiresome during this series.


Quote:

For the Yanks, Aaron Hicks (.266/.372/.475, 127 wRC+) has taken over the regular job from Jacoby Ellsbury, and he had a pretty fantastic season himself

Quote:

so despite Josh Reddick's good year (.314/.363/.484, 127 wRC+)
So Hicks and Reddick basically have identical numbers, with Reddick probably even having the edge considering he hit .314 over the whole season and was more durable than Hicks. But Hicks has a "pretty fantastic season" while Reddick has a ho-hum "good year".

Don't you think that's a little stupid that you can call a guy out for his foot popping up off the bag where it lands right back on the bag? I mean, it was probably off less than a second. Always have hated that rule. Would have never been called out without replay.
I kinda like it. Makes the players try harder to 'Stick the landing"

I saw some people using Parking Panda. I've never used it in Houston, but used it quite a bit in Baltimore and it was pretty solid

The only thing about Parking Panda is that all they had available were parking garages.

I'm not a big fan of garages downtown. Too easy for someone to mess with your shlt since everything is hidden from plain view and there's only one exit from those things and it ends up taking FOREVER to get out.

If I could've found a surface lot I would've pulled the trigger.

Whats up with that 8th wonder truck everyone always talks about. They dgaf if you park there as long as you go in and have a beer or something?
Don't know about Stro games, but for Dynamo games, the car parking money takers have taken over the majority of spots around 8th wonder, so you are supposed to pay I guess but they don't give you anything to put on your car. I've waited for them not to be looking and parked and nothing happened.

Do players not on the roster still travel? Sparky was saying Fiers was wetting him with Budweiser.

Response when pressed for proof:
I actually have 6 links, and was getting super pissed the more info I looked up...So, look it up yourself, I am not going to fight about something I know to be true, to a person who would just as soon see me in prison or dead.

Some do and some don't.

Some guys were sent to the facility in FL to keep working out and stay sharp, but some guys like Fiers and Sipp were with the team.

I assume guys they thought could be of use to the team at a later date were sent to FL. Guys who are worthless and serve no purpose were drug along to carry luggage.

Try ParkWhiz, looks like they may have some surface lots. The various parking websites probably have access to different area lots.

For decades they trusted the umpire's call on a play like this. I understand that now we have the technology to check the bang-bang plays. But the reason for instituting replay was definitely not to hone in on the slightest minuscule instance of a foot or hand or torso elevating off the bag. This has to change.

Correct. The initial reason for replay was for very black and white issues. Fair vs foul, did the ball hit the chalk line, was the ball a Home run, was the runner out at first or home (where if you hit those bags youre safe)

Replay has now morphed into this ridiculous analyse every frame of a player sliding into a base and coming off for a fraction of a second and the take out rule at 2nd etc. That original intent was a good one, but as is the case with virtually all aspects of life....once you allow administration to start implementing more and more rules (govt, business etc), they will eventually get so specific and rundown with finite details they strangle the given situation.

Bregman had a play earlier this year where he slid into third a full second or two before the throw got there. As he popped up in the slide and transferred his feet the spike on his cleat came off a fraction of a second...3rd baseman wasn't even really paying attention but had the tag on....went to replay and he was out. I don't think that was the intent of replay

IT'S MOTHER ****ING GAME DAY

As a young kid (pre-1962), I watched "Game of the Week" every Saturday on the B&W television with rabbit ears. The Yankees were always on every Saturday. As a result, I grew up kinda being a Yankee fan.

That having been said, it's time to kick their butts. The flirting with being a Yankee fan is long over. Go 'stros.

How do these things work as far as times?

I notice it says arrive after 6 and leave before 930. If I book that are they gonna walk around at 930 and tow or ticket?

When you adjust the times to 5-11 the price jumps.

I have only used these type of parking sites a few times and your correct if you change the entry / exit times the price does adjust. We always parked in garages and put the printout on the dash. Never had an issue but it's the playoffs now so they might enforce the times more. Seems like it would take more effort and people. Wish I could be more help.
