Cancer survivor here with year plus of chemo so no telling what my risk are with the china virus.....with that said I 100% would be at a game with no masks.

I gotta live life and make memories with my family while I can. I am not hiding inside. Pretty much been proven masks dont work, and the virus can be contracted anywhere.

Lookie there. A page of reasonable discussion.

I just renewed my tickets for A&M after sitting out last year. I feel confident about things being better then. I think I'd probably wait until vaccinated for the Astros but I guess I'll decide when the time comes. I'm jonesing to get back to MMP.

Back to Astros news. I wouldn't imagine he'd be in the plans in the INF.

Having a young, potential star workout at SS is leverage against Correa. That' all

I'd have no qualms going at all. In that type environment, I would probably wear a mask and be personally cautious, but I do me, and you do you.

He's still behind Pena and maybe Nova too. We need OFers. His natural spot is OF. Not really sure why he's working there, but it's not a big deal.

Im 34, Have no intention of getting any vaccines for a good period of time. I had been saying if I got one I would consider the J&J version as it is a more traditional design but after hearing about the bio-ethics involved there I will probably continue to abstain. I only wear a mask when required at work and if I went to a game would only wear one if required...personally I prefer games at home. If im at a game I want to sit low ....and thats too expensive for me lol

Worrisome situation??

Finger injury? I think as long as his finger is still attached, I'm probably not worried.

Unless it's a broken hand but I would think if he pitched afterwards that's not the case.

Probably take it easy the next week so and be back to normal action in no time.

Not sure WTF that hack Heyman is talking about.

He was able to pitch through it so it can't be too bad.

It's tweets like these that make him so annoying.



Give us the info. If you think it'll cause a reaction, give an educated opinion as to why. Don't tell people not to freak out.

If that happened yesterday, amazing he kept on pitching after that.

Fractured finger is nothing to be worried about unless your idea of a team is that "no pitcher can miss any games or else we panic!"

Its not an arm injury, shoulder, elbow. Great. Its fine.

Ring finger. Then I might not care even if it wasnt attached...he could pitch sooner.

Say he's out 4 weeks of the season. That just means he's playing a 137 game schedule and not 162. I expect he'd have to ramp up from the 95 innings he threw last year. I think in 18 and 19 he was around 110-140. It may set up okay where he can get his 130-150 in, assuming health, without worrying about a tired arm at the end of the year.

My first inclination when I heard the news was to head downtown and start looting/burning buildings, flipping cars, etc, but I guess it's not horrible.

It might spoil his lowkey Cy Young chances this year tho

He's thrown more than Javier, Urquidy ever have. They're going to really get stretched out this year. We gotta manage their innings so they're at their best in October. Even without the Framber injury Garcia, Pruitt, James, Whitley, etc are going to need to make starts.

As long as Straw keeps hitting .750 we're going to be just fine.

Get Jake odorizzi on the phone. See who we can trade for.

How insane is it that a fractured finger could take 8 months to heal.

I mean unless it was some sort of freak incident like Jimmy Fallon, which I don't think this is.

How could that possibly result in an entire missed season? Very confused....

Surely that hack Heyman is just being a moron....

This is kind of how I feel. If he's done we need to address the rotation in some way and not lose this season in our window.

We had a similar feel in 2017 and saw the impact when we had a long time without keuchel and some others. I have a feeling they will be active in the trade market mid season is we're still in it.

Extremely young? Yes. Not very good? We'll see.

We were always going to need to dip I to the younger and less proven or unproven arms. Now it switches it full on relaying on one or some of them to throw 100+ innings this year. Then when you drop you have to go even lower to maybe Solis, Torres, Brown level who aren't ready yet. That is, if you don't do something in FA or the trade market.

This is where it hurts that Whitley hasn't been able to produce at the big league level in the last year or two. Hoping he can turn the corner this year and produce, because we might need him to do so.
