I went to my first game at Colts Stadium in 1964. 1969 was an awesome summer. Finally the Astros showed some life, the Cubs collapsed and the Mets were indeed amazing.
I work with a former Astros pitcher from back in the day so there's a lot of baseball talk and some of those guys come around. I talk to Art Howe occasionally at the club he and I belong to.
My memory might be faulty but I think Dierker homered and doubled off Ryan that day.

Blummer can stay his ass in Augusta.
But seriously that Pressly/Osuna combo is sick.

I'm betting catcher is considered the higher priority at this point. I think DH can be addressed internally

It's not winning a WS without a DH.
If Luhnow doesn't value that kind of player, one that can't really play defense but is a solid bat, what does he do with Alvarez if an elite JV level SP is available in July via trade? Do you think he gives him up for a rental?Ag_07 said:mathguy86 said:

It did in 2017
Seriously though this team hasn't had a legit DH since joining the AL.
It's something I swore up and down that we needed but I'm thinking it's just not a need. If you stack the lineup with legit bats who can also field you can win without paying a premium bat who doesn't field.
I just don't think Luhnow values it much either or it would've been addressed a long time ago. If anything it's addressed internally but I don't see is trading valuable pieces for a big bat.

I don't know. Maybe
And I should say...It's not that he doesn't value a DH I just don't think he values it enough to spend valuable pieces to get one.
I think ideally it's addressed internally.
just a 2-game set. Then back to Arlington.Ag_07 said:W said:

When Root Sports came back from commercial break in the middle of the 13th, the cameras spotted an Astros fan doing a ... dance?
Shortly after the viewing public was blessed with the viewing of this spontaneous celebration of baseball and life, it all started coming together for the home team.
With the Astros down to their last out and Evan Gattis on base, Nori Aoki kept the inning alive with a base hit. Then, George Springer came up and delivered a walk-off home run into the Crawford Boxes to give the Astros a 5-3 win.

Paxton also found out from Yankees special advisor Carlos Beltran that he was tipping his curveball grip in his most recent start, an ugly showing in Houston on April 10. He'll attempt to incorporate Beltran's advice against Boston on Tuesday.

Let's say the Astros had signed Nelson Cruz. Do you put him in right or on the bench in an NL park?
