Stadium advertising is free money. It doesn't cost Crane anything to sell that space.

Sucks for us fans but I don't blame any owner for cashing in on that especially in times like these.

And besides...The more he makes on advertising the more he has to spend on the on field product.

If Gallagher Insurance can afford to replace an Astros logo with their logo inside MMP, then they are charging too much for insurance. Don't use them.
Or not paying out.

Either way insurance companies suck..

What are they doing to the fence?
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Ah, thanks? (kidding)

Couldn't see and the batter's eye comments confused me. Are they changing that, too?

It's so tough to place the lefties. I don't think we can go wrong with any of the 3 in the 2/4/6 hole. I might switch Maldonado & Straw as well.

Regardless.

I like it.

I like it a lot.

The issue with Machete in front of Straw is twofold. First he would clog the bases in front and second Straw won't drive him in from 1B on a double. The other way that's a distinct possibility especially with 2 outs.

For me, I don't want Machete running in front of Straw. It might not look good if Machete were to get lapped.

Tucker 4th and Alvarez 6th? Ideally I would like to see those flipped.

Flip Tucker/Alvarez and it's really solid.
I'd even consider putting Straw 9th

Didn't Machete score from 1B last year?

I remember him booking it and even after he crossed the plate he didn't slow down, ran right past Altuve without a high five, and jumped into the bench immediately.

Guys, stop burying the lead. The real story is Garcia's start.

I don't understand this, was he not throwing before he got signed?

He was, but it's not the same. He's not going to go full out, injury himself without a contract.

With Framber out to start the year, I think 3 innings from Odorizzi is probably better in the opening series than 4 or 5 out of whoever else we would start.

Question:

What does a regular AA/AAA player make a year?

What does that player make in major league spring training?

Get ready for the Correa market.

Quote:
The initial offer to Lindor, according to Martino, clocked in slightly below $300MM in guaranteed money. Lindor and agent David Meter unsurprisingly countered with a number "well over" $300MM in total guarantees. While the team's first offering didn't begin with a three, Martino adds that the Mets are "almost certainly" willing to go to that $300MM mark to sign Lindor.

$200m will be the minimum. Fans will be shocked how much he gets. I just don't see the Astros paying that, specifically to a guy who misses as many games as he has. Some poorly run organization that wants to make a splash will though.

Astros bring 11 batters to the plate in 6 run 5th inning. I dont care if its spring training. It was good to see.

Tucker's lower half looks to have filled in more during the offseason.
