I'm going to be Mr Gloom. This is the offense. What you see is what you get. We have poor production at 1B, 3B, CF and C. That's tough as three of those should be offensive positions. It's not going to change unless the players change and the only real opportunity for that is New Jake in CF. And who knows what that will bring.

Maybe they are peaking too early but the Yankees are looking as good as some of the previous year's Dodgers teams have looked. That might not translate to October, but they are really rolling right now.

Astros finally emailed me after applying for the part time manual scoreboard operator position.

Mrs. Marvin and I will be in Omaha next weekend to watch our Aggies, and then head off to NY in two weeks to watch our (by then) rejuvenated Astros beat up on the Yankees and Mets.

That's a couple of huge baseball bucket list items getting scratched in June!!!

That'll be a blast! Omaha is at the top of my bucket list for sure.

Taking the kids out to MMP this afternoon.

Do they still do the whatever you fit in a gallon Ziploc you can bring into the stadium?

Yes, and a bottle of water per person, up to one liter in size. It must be factory-sealed.

Can you still catch the opposing team's batting practice if you show up early for a Sunday day game?

Trade bait:

Corey Julks
Forest Whitley
Jose Siri
Chaz McCormick
Jason Castro
I would argue that just one of those guys maybe has any significant value
For a good pitcher, I'd offer Tucker plus. He's arbitration eligible for next 3 years, refused a deal, and we have Julks, Siri, McCormick, and Pedro Leon. You gotta give something to get something, and I'd rather have surplus pitching than surplus outfielders.


This is a troll right?
What would you give up for Frankie Montas?

I can't believe you're still banging this drum... This is by far the worst hot take I've seen in this thread in a while.

As little as possible, same answer for all trades.

Sometimes, I wish we cared more about getting our best hitters to the plate more than LRLRLR

Right now we have 1 to 2 good to really good right handed bats. One bats lead off and the other is stuck in the bottom third. If we want to optimize the lineup and bet L/R or R/L then the lineup should look something like this.

Tucker
Tuve
Alvarez
Pena
Brantley
Bregman
MaxPower

Just got in driving from texas to Florida. We acquired a hitter yet?

I like the idea of Yordan 3rd, but I could just as easily go

Atluve
Tucker
Pena
Yordan

and figure the rest out from there. Bregman/Brantley or Brantley/Bregman are both fine for me

I think Bregman has an extensive track record, at this point.

Not even close. I think people are taking for granted how great this run has been for the Astros. This isn't normal.

Did breggy even run out of the box after he hit the grounder? It looked like he thought it was foul and watched it.

Bregman is just who he is at this point and he's a mediocre offensive player with a great eye who has a pretty good glove and slow as shlt.
Over the last 2 seasons combined (148 games, about what he'd typically play in a full season):

  • .252/.347/.405, 18 HR, 83 RBI, .753 OPS, WAR around 3
  • There were only 9 third basemen above a 3 WAR in 2021

I'm not ready to say 2022 AB is "what he is", but league average OPS is .702 and his is .710, so he's certainly been mediocre and the MVP runner-up seems like a long time ago.

That said, 3b is our 5th best OPS out of 9 lineup spots this season. Obviously we didn't expect All-star performances out of some spots, but if we were just getting career averages out of C, 1b & CF we wouldn't be sweating 3b in the least.

Would love to here this coach's thoughts on Bregman right here
Harry Dunne

All this Bregman personal hitting coach talk reminds me of a funny story:

I got to talk briefly to Lance Berkman when he was coaching high school baseball at Second Baptist. I commented to him that the kids must hang on every word he says to them and he laughed and said, "some do, some don't" and went on to tell me that some of the parents had asked him to back off the hitting advice because they had their own personal hitting coaches and were getting conflicting messages!

So if some little turd high schooler is listening to some used car salesman hitting coach who probably hit .235 in his one season at Weatherford JC over should be in the HOF Lance Berkman...
