Pretty cool feature coming to MMP

Amazon has brought its checkout-free "Just Walk Out" technology to airports, grocery stores and other shops, but now it's coming to a particularly useful place for sports fans: the ballpark. The Houston Astros have teamed up with Amazon to install Just Walk Out systems at two concession stores in Minute Maid Park. Visit 19th Hole or Market and you can buy snacks or souvenirs between innings by inserting your credit card at the entry gate, grabbing things off the shelf, and leaving when you're done.

Jose Siri getting the standard Dusty cold shoulder

Looks like Siri is getting starts vs lefties and Chas ve righties. I would not be happy about that if I was Chas. It's basically setting him up to fail. Both are righties who hit lefties better. This platoon doesn't make sense.

Yordan still shooting rockets, just not on the field.

Not surprised Siri benched after a good night. Dusty is the MLB equivalent of a cooler.

Shocked Uncle Mike playing after he dove for a ball in the outfield. Figured Dusty would have him in an ice bath for days

I'm surprised we have Diaz playing in such a huge outfield. Figured they'd go Siri in CF and Chas in LF

I'd be surprised if Dusty is putting that much thought into it

That was actually really good

Dusty Baker said he thinks the outbreak of illness in the Astros clubhouse is "getting better." Both Dan Firova and Michael Collins are at the ballpark today after staying a the hotel yesterday. Yordan Alvarez is not here right now and it's unclear whether he'll be in the dugout.

In response to you complaining about complaining, I will now complain about you complaining about complaining.

And of course it's gameday so we have an entire page of *****ing about the lineup. We have *****ing about Yordan not being in when it has been established he's sick. We also have *****ing about Siri not being in when just two weeks ago we were *****ing about Dusty even hinting that Chaz may not be the opening day starter. Just accept they'll be platooned and make your life easier.

That's nice, but I'm ready for these walk through security scanner systems for entry into the game.

The @angels' Angel Stadium was built in '66, but it's one of my favorite places to catch @astrosbaseball. For $10, you may park right next to the ballpark. For this season, they installed super fan friendly security scanners that allow us fans to walk right through with our bags. When the machine detects an anomaly, it notifies the attendant to search the bag. As y'all can see, most of the fans were able to walk right through without having their bags searched. Talk about creating a fan friendly experience.

The @sfgiants had these scanners at their ballpark last season.

@astrosbaseball, please install these at MMP.

They had these at Disney Springs in Orlando and it really does go that smoothly. Definitely needs to happen.

Not everything that has a comment is "*****ing".

Plenty of people thought Chas should be the guy, some didn't. It's not clear who the best option is at CF. And it's only going to get cloudier when Jake gets in the mix. Tucker doesn't sit that much. Brantly gets regular time off. But 3 guys for 1 spot is tricky. We're likely not going to be able to keep everyone on the active roster. For a team that's pretty much set, this is the only position that deserves discussion. Well, maybe catcher too but I'll not open that can of worms.

Sorry, your comment was constructive and valid discussion, everyone else was *****ing. Dusty giving Siri the cold shoulder...Congrats on the home run, here's the bench....etc. are *****ing.

I agree with everything you said. The thing is, I believe, that's reason to continue to platoon them. Get more data points on what you have. We learned last year, well I thought we did, that Dusty is actually paying attention, doing these things intentionally, learns/knows what he has, and then makes all the right moves based on that data in the postseason.

Or just increase trade value for one of the 3 to acquire a mid season reliever. Many reasons to continue to platoon them vs. just keeping Siri in, then, if he happens to go cold, move on to Chas, then Jake.

He has a State Farm agency. Must have built it up over the years, and now his employees run it while he runs all over the country

Wright Thompson/ESPN has even done a story on him - Meet Nguyen Le, the Astros' biggest fan. His real estate and insurance agency is very popular in the Vietnamese community.

That is so cool. I hope to have a love of something as intense and passionate as Nguyen loves baseball.

And right on cue.....Siri with a day off.

Kershaw gets pulled in the 8th after 80 pitches with a perfect game on the line. I guess I can see it since he's coming off an injury but damn, it was a perfect game
