How did Bregman do in ST?

I wish Gattis could get the opening day start, but I understand why Luhnow did it. Would rather have Aoki in left than Beltran.

Hard to tell considering he had 98% less ABs than normal due to WBC.

Fielding has been astounding though from what I've seen.

Gotcha. Just was looking through our lineup and it's obviously stacked with names. But I'm trying to gauge how much Bregman will produce this year. He's still very green to the MLB.

He'll be fine.

I think last season was his floor.

Wonder if it'll be .230 or .300. Regardless it'll be fun to watch.

The fact that McCann is hitting 8th -- just wow. I've thought about how potent this offense is, but this lineup card just proves it. Yuli and McCann could still be potential 3-4-5 hitters at this stage of their careers.

I love this line up. We're going to mash, but don't oversell it.

Yuli is still a mostly unknown and should be exiting his prime soon.

McCann is a good hitting catcher, but he's been trending down for years now. He's 33 and not getting younger.

As someone who has a sub account for my parents Uverse, the Root streaming news is amazing... So glad I saw it before I paid for MLBtv/unlocker this week!

And also ++++1 for Reddit streams. Works great on your phone too if out and about.

This. For students in CS that don't have root in their apartments, but have a cable login that would work with a service like this, it's perfect.

I should have quantified it better -- 3-4-5 hitters for the Astros back in 2012 or '13. Still, that's a pretty potent bottom of the lineup.

Okay, that makes a hell lot more sense. Me and you could have cracked the back end of that line up.

Who else is glad we dumped Feldman? I know he has been gone since August but still...

Would much rather have him than Peacock

I am a pretty decent singles hitter -- in slow pitch softball.

do we need quick predictions before the season starts?

Pretty much any time a team I root for is predicted to do well it goes badly. Attribute it to my BAS.

It's all good. We're all a little stitious. Check what everyone else is showing.

Vegas Win Total: 87.5
Baseball Prospectus: 93-69
USA Today: 90-72
Fangraphs: 91-71

Expectations are high regardless of us projecting it on here.

97-65

109-69

As long as we are within 5 games at the all star break of the AL west lead or the wildcard...

I have zero doubt that we are going after a front line starter and will land him. Chris Archer or Jose Quintana will be on the Astros roster by July 31st mark it down.

I know a lot of people will probably scoff at this but I think it's highly possibly sonny gray is an Astro as well. Granted that's a big IF for him to stay healthy for that trade to happen but I could see us giving up a decent prospect to milk one postseason run out of him and I'm perfectly fine with that.

I could see us end up with a 90-72 to 93-69 mark for the simple fact that we will not really hitting our stride until the trades are complete and our rotation is set

95-67

i just need 91 wins

Just got Crawford boxes for tomorrow for half the price of the view deck today.

I agree. Those are the two guys i think we go after. And lunhow, being unconventional as he is, may do it sooner than later. (the White Sox season was over before it started anyways)

Yeah, the price gouging on opening day is stupid.
