Are they still rolling with For the H from last year?



Yes. The Astros Twitter has been using it for the past week

I guess they didn't want to waste all the banners/in stadium marketing from last season that nobody saw

Anyone else have service drama? I paused my YouTubeTV subscription and started back up FuboTV for the Stros and my YTTV went out during the first half of last night's NCAA game so I had to figure out a workaround because Fubo still doesn't have TBS/TNT.

Baseball opening day is unmatched (maybe A&M football but other than that nope)

How much do you pay per month internet + streaming service (YouTubeTV mainly)?

T-mobile customers can get $10 of YTTV -- so $55/mo. Also, free MLB.tv. Pay for a VPN or smart DNS, and you can have YTTV and Astros for about $60/mo.

After looking at all the options, directv was cheaper than doing fubo plus whatever else I needed.

Was looking at picking up tickets to the Astros vs. Rockies up here in Denver and they're only selling them homestand by homestand now. Guess that's because they're not sure of capacity numbers?

Dang, and now I just remembered I will be out of town for work when they're here. Now I'm really pissed.

Page 2 ain't bad. The Rangers thread will have more posts than ours for..... 24 hours? They did have a one-week head start.

Dan, I remember the year you tried to start the season thread and you got absolutely leveled. We had just won a title and people were not going to have anything that wasn't exactly like it was the previous year. I felt bad for you. But it's in your hands now. Good luck my friend!

I know I'm old, but as much as I have loved the last 5 years, I really love watching Mike Scott destroy the mother****ing Mets.

Usually, I don't really care what former Astros do all that much, but I will still be rooting for George to do well. I worry how he'll age.

On the BlueJays - its going to be strange seeing them play here.



It only holds 8500 and has a tony power alley for lefties.

Left Field 333 ft
Left-Center 380 ft
Center Field 400 ft
Right-Center 363 ft
Right Field 336 ft

IDK how the wind blows there, but it could potentially lead to a increase in HRs.

So it appears to be a fait accompli that Correa isn't going to sign by his deadline. Wonder how many of these leveraged situations wind up blowing up on the player or new team.

Question for the thread: of these three exciting prospects, which one do you think is more likely to see the field at the big league level this season. Likely they are all not going to, but hypothetically if one was to get called up mid summer or September who would it be

Jeremy Pena
Korey Lee
Pedro Leon

Pena, not close.

Edit:Adding more detail

Lee - never played higher than low A ball. Without injury, no reason for him to be on the roster. Still has Stubbs ahead of him for now.
Leon - never played MiLB. Lets let him get used to the game and see how he does here before we anoint him just yet. If all goes well, he could be up soon. I think he's going to need some seasoning though. Just my opinion.
Pena - Never played above A+ ball, but he seems most positioned to be called up. Need to see if he is ready because we may have an opening at the big league level in 2022. Plus he's versatile enough to play any IF position.

I'd still switch Tucker and Alvarez. I like Garcia as the 5

I think most agree, but Dusty has been consistent at the end of ST with the top 6. However, I think an argument could be made for any order of the lefties (2-4-6). When TED wins the MVP this year with a 40-40 season, I don't think we'll mind him in the 4 hole.
