Yep - the off-season seems to get longer and longer each year it seems. I'm not nearly as big on the NFL as I am College Football and Aggie Basketball looks to be in for a rough season, so gonna be hard to have anything sports-related to watch. Might have to watch a lot more NBA. It's pretty much College Football (all Aggie sports, pretty much) and Astros baseball for me as my big interests.Evening Time Joke Man said:Ag12thman said:

Exactly! That's what I love most. It's almost a game every single night (as you said) and I always have a great, fun to watch baseball team on TV or radio.

I sure hope Bregman was never vocal about the Osuna signing, considering his jersey choice in that video
I don't remember him saying anything. He got sorta political a while back and I hope he stays away from that all together. He's by far my favorite player since Biggio
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

Just let it go man
Wtf is wrong with you?
Bregman was 9 during Kobe's case so he probably doesn't even know about it.

ESPN+ mid-winter grading for each team published yesterday, with a mixed bag for the Astros according to this reporter. Good news is that the existing roster is still considered 2nd best in baseball. Bad news is that he downgraded the win total by 4 games because the team has lost more talent than it's gained since October. Overall, #26 in change of forecast. (Fangraphs and other data used for projections)
Rank / Team / Change / Current win forecast
1. Red Sox / +3.4 / 99.3
2. Astros / -4.3 / 98.4
3. Yankees / +2.6 / 97.9
4. Dodgers / -0.7 / 97.0
5. Indians / -0.8 / 94.1
...
Angels / +5.6 / 87.5
Oakland / -8.2 / 81.1
Mariners / -8.7 / 71.9
Rangers / -3.4 / 68.7
Big picture from this article is that there is no need to panic just yet because of the quiet Astros offseason. Take that for what's it worth.

To win the East we still need another starter and a power bat.

Winning the East would be some impressive work!Agnzona said:

We'd need some major help from the MLB front office to get out of the West and into the East.
Okay... I ment Beating BOS or the Yankees....
We are winning the West rolling out of bed.

I tend to agree that winning the AL will take more than what we have right now- on paper. It could come from RR or CC, but I suspect we'll need to go outside the organization for a difference maker on the mound. It just doesn't seem reasonable to replace Keuchel, Morton and McCullers with minor leaguers all in one year. Even if you backfill with McHugh and/or Peacock, someone has to take their place in kind.

I wish people would stop saying **** like this. "Winning the west rolling out of bed" is anything but a sure thing. Yes, recent success would indicate we would have a good shot, but injuries happen, players regress, prospects don't pan out, etc.
We are losing 3 of our 5 starting pitchers from last year. Nothing is a sure thing with our team right now. STFU PLEASE.
Afraid this message board could get to our players heads?
So the Yankees are going to get their 40-man roster expanded to 50?
As always, Boston wins anything and the Yankees are going to blow their load over compensating.

Yankees will need a deep pen. If CC averages 4 IP/start I will be surprised.
The league made an exemption the NYY can have an unlimited roster as long as they have not won 3 straight WS.

I think we will win the West just by showing up.
Who else in the West is got a shot at 90 something wins?
Nobody, sure the 'Stros could have a bunch of injuries but that's pointless to consider when speculating about the seasons prospects.

To be fair that's what we thought last year and OAK took us down to the last couple weeks.
And now we're worse than we were last year. So while I still like our chances I'd be hesitant to say we win but showing up.
Bregman has 100 acres of real estate in Tyler's head...and he just keeps coming back for more. He just can't help himself.
TBH I think that some surprise team (maybe the A's again?) will rise up and challenge us. I was just trying to rile up the opinion police.Ag_07 said:Harry Dunne said:

Opens up a spot on the 40 man roster
