Now I'm in the deep dive of Astros YouTube moments. Rookie Bagwell goes upper deck in Pittsburgh.

So I follow Yordan's wife on IG. I know creeper alert. But I was looking for intel on his situation when he was MIA. Anyway she just posted story of their kiddo in the car with the caption "On the road again."
I'm choosing to believe he is on his way back to Houston right now and will be in the lineup tomorrow.

Nope. It's a non-game day I just needed to hate on someone. He seemed like a good target. Someone other than Pelosi.

Maybe Yordan and show Tucker how to hit the inside pitches from RHPs.
I imagine a couple good starts in sugar land and Click will come calling. Their season only goes until the end of August anyway.Nuke LaLoosh said:

when do we get the best classic astros clips tournament?MuckRaker96 said:
And before I say goodnight, the moment in 1986 when 12-year-old Muck learned a new phrase from his Dad, who yelled at Dwight Gooden on the TV, "YEAH, SUCK ON THAT MFER! (but obviously MFER not abbreviated).
Yes. please! It would be a good addition to the off season thread.07ag said:when do we get the best classic astros clips tournament?MuckRaker96 said:

Despite their god-awful record, this is an Astro team I loved. I was 17, had a summer job working at the IAH tossing luggage on and off planes, and went to 37 home games over the course of the summer, sitting in the pavilion for $4 a game.W said:
has there ever been a documentary done on the 1991 Astros?
it was a remarkable collection of young talent that would become Hall of Famers, League MVP's, and World Series heroes. And of course mixed with tragedy.
Jeff Bagwell -- Hall of Fame
Craig Biggio -- Hall of Fame
Ken Caminiti -- MVP and tragic death
Darryl Kile -- 12-year pro, no-hitter, and tragic death
Luis Gonzalez -- 5-time all-star, 350 career HR's, Game 7 walkoff
Steve Finley -- 2-time all-star, 300 career HR's, 19-year career
Curt Schilling -- borderline HoF, World Series star
Kenny Lofton -- 6-time all-star
Seriously, Luis Gonzalez should be skewered more for steroid use than any other player in history.redline248 said:
Finley and Gonzo 100%

I posted a few pages back about Tucker's swing being terrible and somebody asked how. Compare his swing to Yordan. That's how.
Yordan is compact in his movement (as compact as a 6'6" 245# man can be anyway), his hands drive straight to the ball, and he doesn't drag the head of the bat through the zone like Tucker. All lefties have a bit of an uppercut to their swings but Yordan has one of the nicest swings I've ever seen.
Tucker's first move is to drop his hands and as he pulls his hands to the ball he creates a loop which gives him a hole in his swing as he struggles to get the head of the bat through the zone.
Seriously. And you guys seem to be forgetting about the Yordan who was 1 for 22 in the ALCS with 12 strikeouts. He made Kyle Tucker look like Stan Musial.Farmer1906 said:

Playing full seasons from 1991-1997 he hit a total of 84 home runs. (12 per year)
From 1998-2003 he hit 191 (31.8 per year) including 57 in 2001. He hit 88 in 2000-2001. Ridiculous.
Finley never hit more than 11 as an Astro, then hit 30 and 28 with the Padres the same years that Caminiti was there winning the MVP.
Finley then hit 34 and 35 in 1999-2000 as teammates with Gonzalez on the Diamondbacks. At age 28, Finley had 47 career home runs and finished with 304.

Agree on Gonzo - good dude but was absolutely juicing. However Brady Anderson says hello.
