Cheesy, but as Judge Hofheinz said when the "Astros" name was announced, "It will grow on you."astros4545 said:

Agreed. When they announced the Skeeters name I didn't make any connection between that and mosquitos. Just seemed like some random word

Will the mascot be 'Maurice'?
No. I his Carlos's worst case if that he can't get the 330/10 so he takes an 6-8 year deal with front loaded money where he opts out after 1 or 2 years.Big Al 1992 said:
Would Carlos actually sit out a year?
I would assume it has more to do with the Astros owning them now and wanting to put their mark on it. Probably sell some new merch.W said:
are / were the Skeeters having some financial problems?
that tends to be the main reason for "rebranding"

1. Looking forward to the blowout sale of the current Skeeter gear. I love their version of the tequila sunrise jersey.
2. The more I think about it, the more I love the rebrand. Baby blue and navy look so good together and I love the space theme.
3. My kids love the name Space Cowboys. I think it'll resonate more with the younger generations than Skeeters will. Just have to have a cool mascot now.

I'm not sure. I would think all of those restrictions are defined by a CBA, and there technically isn't one right now.Ag_07 said:
I don't see that happening.
Wouldn't that start service time clocks on every player they use?
Furthermore if you use MiLB players they then become MLB players and are subject to the lockout. Right?
I've never heard anyone say it unless they were intentionally trying to sound old-fashioned or backwoods. Kind of like "taters" for "potatoes." I think it comes from the Deep South/Southeast.The Milkman said:Whole life until last year. I'm 35.redline248 said:How long have you lived in Texas?The Milkman said:

That was a strike. This is a lockout.Coby said:
Any minor leaguer who plays is likely to be iced out and ignored by future teammates once the dispute is settled. I'm pretty sure that's how it happened with 1994.
From the players perspective I dont think the verbiage matters. If a MiLB players decides to play the MLBPA will be taking names and numbers. Those players will be committing professional baseball suicide.Farmer1906 said:That was a strike. This is a lockout.Coby said:

regarding Tucker's foundation...
wonder if an extension is in the works.
that would be one reason to get the foundation started (for upcoming tax purposes)
Remember when Tuck called series? Starting to get that itch again. pic.twitter.com/0QzQ0IiBPU

Joint Alvarez / Tucker extensions might be what it takes to remove the sting.Ag4life80 said:
You know, from a PR standpoint, I could see the Astros wanting to announce a Tucker deal to deflect the Correa sting of rejection. Hmmm
