Same. Happy that March Madness is on the horizon so I will have some gambling interest. Throw in some Aggie Baseball, Rockets games, Houston Open, and maybe thatll speed things upAg12thman said:

538 did a pretty in depth analysis of the balls. Seems pretty clear. They are juiced.

You think Georgie's ready for the season to start?! Damn
Well that was a nasty inning. Giles not looking too good but unable to watch. Is he trying something new that's just unaffective so far?
I think we'd get along pretty well. I'm fired up over March Madness being close and I'm a Houston sports fanatic as well. No pro team is closer to my heart than the Astros right now, though. Here's to another World Series run.CFTXAG10 said:Same. Happy that March Madness is on the horizon so I will have some gambling interest.

Seems like Giles is already in mid-season form.
I do think that there is at least a 50% chance he cannot mentally overcome his post season performance and is essentially done. I just hope the don't waste a bunch of wins to figure it out if that is the case.
It's spring, hopefully he's working through the kinks and making some changes.
Fisher and Marisnick will also get every opportunity to show out this year before Tucker is considered, IMO.W said:
regarding Tucker and the Astros outfield situation...
keep in mind that Springer, Reddick, and Marwin all had career years last season.
it will be interesting to see who can or cannot match their 2017 production. Odds are 1 or 2 of them will not and that could open the door for Tucker midseason.

also...Springer's games played totals the last 3 years:
2015 ---> 102 games
2016 ---> 162 games
2017 ---> 140 games
Love that Tucker laid a bunt down the 3rd base line against the shift. Good test for him today vs Strasburg
JV 3 IP, 2 H, 5 K
Not a good outing for Gose
Brutal play in left from Fisher earlier. How do you bounce the ball to SS from short left field with 2 guys in scoring position?
Probably over amped and trying too hard. Odds are, he'll be sent back to the Rangers, but let's give him a few outings.

The Rangers have no place for him. Bartolo and Lincecum are there.

And who is this guy who's all chummy with Astros and Johnny?
Brain fart. Yes, and corrected.agdaddy04 said:

That doesn't look like the same guy at all.
Time for my annual "can I see the Astros on TV in Georgetown without DirectTV" question....
Has anything changed regarding the distribution of the broadcast outside of Direct?
I have Dish, really don't want to change but would love to be able to stream the Astros games somehow.
Thank you.

The MLB app won't play tv for me from AT&T sports
See if you get channel 426 on Dish.
Pretty sure, but isn't that the Roots NW channel?Wink said:

Should the closer position on this team concern me as much as it does... or do we think Giles gets the job done?
Sounds like finders keeprs to me. He caught the last out so possession is 9/10 of the law.
Ground ball final out is perk of playing 1B
I think Rizzo gave his to the organization, but generally, whoever had it when the game ended keeps it or does what they want with it by convention.
I wonder who kept the Rangers ball from the final out in their WS win?
I think I remember Springer putting the fly out to end the ALCS in his back pocket before running in to celebrate.
