Let's not forget in '86 that good old Fred Brocklander screwed the pooch in Game 5 that cost the win. Take that game and go up 3-2 coming home and we all know who would have gone game 7.

Because of rain in the forecast, Brandon Bielak is starting for the Astros tonight in West Palm Beach. Framber Valdez, the scheduled starter, is throwing in a minor league game on the back fields. So is Jake Odorizzi.

I'd throw down $10 for a Breggy Cameo for the thread.
Couple ideas :
Short videos of him saying all our different Home Run sayings for each player?
Him reenacting the dancing cowboys gif that is always posted when the Astros win.
Im in for 10 if we get dancing Bregs
How bout just "Gig 'Em Ags".?
How about, I worked on my game this off season instead of selling salsa
Life is better with a beagle
I am in if we can get an Alex Bregman TOFA chant
Just to give an idea of who Ocampo is, he scouted Alvarez and told the Astros to trade for him from the Dodgers

Angels have designated Justin Upton for assignment.
They owe him $28 million this year.

That's what I'm talkin about!
On the back fields today: LHP Framber Valdez and RHP Jake Odorizzi tossed approximately five innings and 75 pitches. RHP Cristian Javier throwing now.

No one is going to take on Upton's salary so he'll be a free agent. I looked at his #s and couldn't make a case to sign him. He's just declined so significantly over the last 4-5 years.

I don't see the point of signing him either. Unless we have injuries and put him in front of good hitters so you have to pitch to him.
Upton is 52 strikeouts short of 2,000 for his career. The pageantry alone is worth a signing. Hopefully the Yankees get him.

The Astros reassigned Lewis Brinson, Mike Papierski and Franklin Barreto to minor league camp.

Today’s moves mean the Astros’ 13 position players are set: Maldonado, Castro, Gurriel, Altuve, Bregman, Peña, Díaz, Goodrum, Brantley, McCormick, Tucker, Siri and Alvarez.
— Brian McTaggart (@brianmctaggart) April 2, 2022
Can Goodrum play defense, because his career offensive stats are godawful.

Can't he play every position except catcher? That being said not sure if he is a plus defender or not

The tarp is being rolled onto the field in West Palm Beach as rain approaches. I don't see this one getting played.

It sucks because this was one of the four spring training games at&t had, and the crew was actually there for it (not in studio)
First pitch at 6:45p/5:45 CT.

Here are 9 of the 10 relievers the Astros will carry. https://t.co/vDT2YuMLpK
— Brian McTaggart (@brianmctaggart) April 2, 2022
I can't believe they are carrying Baez
It ain't easy to cut a guy making 6+ M a year when you don't have a slam dunk better option.
A strangely timed tweet, but FWIW, I'm told this is not a formal roster announcement. https://t.co/904wHJugoK

Just as they got ready for the first pitch, it started pouring. Teams are off the field.

Not sure how I missed this, but it appears Andre Scrubb is no longer on the 40 man. Wasn't even at Spring Training. I'm really surprised he didn't even get an invite.
Didn't they need to clear that spot for Verlander?
Back in November he was outrighted to Sugarland. So they must have taken him off the 40 man and I assume that means cleared waivers?
He was on the 60 day IL, so I think most teams were going to avoid him.
I kid you not, this is a hurricane. Many of the Astros are trapped in the dugout. There is no visibility because it is raining sideways.

The game has been banged. Many Astros scurried back to the clubhouse in large puddles. See you tomorrow.
— Chandler Rome (@Chandler_Rome) April 2, 2022
The game has been what now?
Who is neris? And the bullpen looks shaky after pressley maton stanek and javier. Hope we make some trades or got someone in the minors
Signed this offseason from the Phillies. Pretty sure he was their closer.Ags #1 said:

Will need to look him up. Never heard of him
