Do Rangers fans know they started selling tickets to their new stadium?


No. Very little buzz about Team Arlington even with the off-season spending

That whole north Texas area lives and dies with the Cowboys. They are worse than tu when it comes to over bought and over sold.

This is really funny and most on here won't get it.
Here are some boobs for you sir. And some of you younger guys need to step up and find some tits to post.

Just like we all said - don't worry we have Odo pitching tonight - we'll be just fine.

I miss George. Wish we would have paid him.
I miss him too but that's too much money for 110 games per season.


If he's healthy in the playoffs I'd take it. Dude is awesome.

I would have rather kept George than Carlos tbh

Same here. Springer will go down as one of my all time fav Astros.
No matter what!

George was super likeable, but he'll be 33 in September. Incredible that he once led the league in games played.

Since 2017 he's missed 20, 20, 40, 9 (Covid year), and 84 games due to injury. I wish him the best, but only playing 78 games last year for Toronto made the Astros look pretty smart and signing Brantley again, who played 121 games and was an all-star.

Brantley has to be a robot. He hit .311 in 2019, .311 in 2021, and is hitting .311 right now.

So Carlos is already starting new contract discussions - using his super hot start in Minnesota to turn his 3 year deal into a long term contract. .192 and one homer, 30% strikeout rate, 3 golden sombreros already this season - had 3 all year last year. I don't know if it's bad advice, if he'll never be happy or is asking before he loses any more leverage. Just glad we found our shortstop!

Between the ignoring of widespread cheating and the constant tinkering with the balls, Manfred will go down as a worse commissioner than Selig. Owners need to get rid of him.

Boras: we would like to start discussing Carlos's extension.

Twins: Pass.

It's a great day in Astros history!

April 27, 1983 - Nolan Ryan catches, then passes Walter Johnson as the all-time strikeout leader. Got Brad Mills (ironic) with a curveball (double ironic) for the record-breaker.

Unfortunately, it was all downhill for Nolan from there, he only struck out another 2,205 batters after that.

Ryan is my favorite baseball player of all time. His toughness, and ability to command the zone will never be matched. I think one of my favorite moments was when he got into a fight at 46 years old. Didn't back down and showed Robin Ventura a thing or two.

Yes, you can say the same thing about Carlos. The problem is that when you're paying guys top of the market money to play 2/3 of the season you're typically not going to have money left to have backups good enough to get you to the playoffs.

I mean good grief look at how much playing time NiKo is getting… and that's without breaking the bank on Carlos. Siri has had some nice moments but man I don't want him playing as much as he's playing - hopefully Chas will pan out and Meyers well come back strong but there are no guarantees that any of those guys are going to be long-term solutions… and injuries will happen and we need to have depth.

You just can't have a dynasty in Houston where you keep guys that are wanting top of the market long term deals and we all know that.

7IP, 6SO, 2H, 3 walks, 0 runs.

Drench the man in coffee pregame if it gets those results.

This reminded me of Khris Davis, who batted exactly .247 FOUR seasons in a row

That's more impressive because that's not a good hitter finding his zone, it's a crappy hitter being just slightly less than 1 for 4 every night.

What's the proper play there once the catcher notices a runner on 3rd and the runner behind him going to 3rd?

Throw to 3rd (not over his head), guy on 3rd runs down the runner between 2nd and 3rd knowing he may have to throw to home if the guy on 3rd goes for it?

Catching the ball in the outfield...
Making a good throw to home...
Running the runner back, any throw there possibly allows third base to advance so you just run them all back and live to play again

My all time favorite player too. Got tickets to take my son to see the 'Facing Nolan' documentary.
