it was a good play for Bracamonte

Great catch, but the dude totally gave the right fielder Covid with the high 5.

Sponsored by Budweiser, but it looked like they were all drinking Crawford Bocks.

Enjoyed watching the baseball talk in that video but it looked like a NASCAR interview- everybody had to show their product and take a sip before talking.

I liked Blummer's thoughts on this team having a chip on their shoulder.

I know it's not a new development, but RIP Karbach.

What??

Guess I should have googled. I visited the Karbach site looking for references to AB.

WTF

No, sorry, just that it was bought out by InBev which is notorious for destroying what made breweries unique.

Yup...And to think there are folks who think we'll see college football in the fall.

It ain't happening.

I guess roids don't help with Covid immunity

Injuries for Judge already starting

MLB is gonna be cancelled once the Yankees realize their star players won't be ready for opening day

Not so fast with MLS, they've had two teams withdraw.

Other places pull it off because people have more respect for others. Here we're too busy *****ing about "muh freedums" hence the spread.

I wish people would be more decent so we could have things like baseball, football, etc. The answer isn't "full lockdown or nothing" it's in the middle but of course this is America and there is no nuance or middle ground anymore.

Have any evidence to back up why you think the virus spread? Or is it completely anecdotal?

Bregman slid into the mentions of a critical fan in 2017

Then went on a tear to finish the season immediately after that comment was known and helped us win the first World Series in team history

I think it was also around the time when people were saying trade Chris Sale for Bregman

Spread was probably the wrong word. Hard to define what's spread and what's just more tests.

I'm by no means a shut it down person, hell with the exception of wearing a mask into public buildings I'm living my daily life pretty normally. I'm in MN and things seem to be ok here, and you don't have the mad public pissing matches in the government here like what's going on in Houston with Dora and Sly.

The virus isn't as bad as thought and we know way more about it now, but it's still out there. I have to be cautious as my 69 year old mom lives with us and has some of the factors that could contribute to a bad case of COVID if she got it. She'd like no more than anyone to have her Astros and Aggies playing ASAP

Sorry for the verbal diarrhea in order to answer that.

I think the thing people don't think about is Europe got it really bad in the early spring. Outside of NYC, the entire US shutdown before the virus could really, truly gain a foothold. So little of the population actually got the virus when we shut stuff down. In my opinion, we're just going through what Europe went through earlier. We were always going to increase because so little of the population had the virus when we shut down - it just has spread faster than anticipated due to the bars and the unforeseen massive nationwide protests by millions of people at one time.

I think saying Europeans care more for each other than Americans do is a little unfair on the whole.

Anyway, I think to get back on topic, I ultimately think the season won't get played. However, I think the MLB should forge ahead because I think it's possible around mid-August or beginning of September we're in a much better spot.

I know that Europe is doing better right now than we are, but I'll be pretty disappointed if every European soccer league finishes out their season and the US can't get any major season completed / started. Follow the protocol the euros have setup, tweak it as needed to match where we are and let's ****ing play

Bingo. It will showcase the ineptitude of these leagues.

Shocked a national media outlet tweeted out something favorable towards the Astros
