What "people"? And **** them.agdaddy04 said:
People are freaking out about Peña being an arrogant showboat. Man, watching him all year and in interviews I'd say he's mild mannered confident guy. Do y'all hear people complaining about that? Maybe I'm being too sensitive since he's an Astro. Love the way he plays.

It's in the "go **** your self Rob" position.

Probably not a good sample, but on comment threads of his plays posted by MLBN. Guess those people probably aren't a good representation of society. Just surprised to see it mentioned at all.

Listening to Blum on 790 and on several of his podcasts, he's made multiple references to not having a contract yet for next season. If he and TK are not back, there should be rioting in the streets. They need to lock both of them up before someone else recruits him away.
I'm not obsessed. It's an off day and something to talk about. It's just very obvious every time he gets behind a mic.
I watch every single game in the regular season, and the crew we have are very good. I do not want the quality of the viewing experience to diminish. Whoever is in charge of those decisions would be foolish to let them go.
Do you want to watch a full season of Astros baseball with Esh and Brian Bougasevic l(sp?)? That would be insufferable. It would be like watching the rangers broadcast or a national broadcast every night.
Jim McIngvale (@MattressMack) will throw out a ceremonial first pitch tomorrow night before game six of the World Series: “It’s an honor and a privilege to be asked by the Astros to throw out the first pitch, game six, World Series. Hopefully the Astros clinch tomorrow night…” pic.twitter.com/TaJZnmjXUq

From the @astros: The “King of Country,” native Texan and country music legend George Strait will make the Play Ball call before game six of the World Series.

After Correa and his arrogance I found Pena to be a breath of fresh air…
From the @astros: Before game six of the World Series the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Color Guard will present our nation’s colors. The National Anthem will be performed by multi-platinum singer, songwriter and record producer Andy Grammer.

Hopefully he knows the words to the anthem

It's not, but only because of the Astros long playoff run.FrioAg 00 said:
Honest question: is next year still considered Hunter's rookie year?
Typically the cutoff for it being your rookie year is 50 innings pitched or 130 at-bats.
But the other caveat is 45 straight days on the team's active roster.
So most guys that get a September 1st call-up are still rookies the next season because their seasons only last from 9/1 to the first week of October.
But with the expanded playoff format and the Astros going onto the World Series, this became Hunter's rookie season on October 15 when he was on the team roster consecutively through the playoff series.
So his rookie season stats are just what they were in the regular season - 2-0, 0.89 ERA, 22 K.

He makes a heart shape with his hands every time he gets on base to tell his mom he loves you. Not exactly a showboating gangsta.

TK and Blum are team employees. The Astros will be making the contract decision. I assume they are waiting until the playoffs are over to address the broadcast team.EastCoastAgNc said:bearkatag15 said:you are obsessed with this.EastCoastAgNc said:

You see Daddy don't just end the Yankees every now and then,
It's a streak without end, Amen.
And how Texas of us to counter Meek Mill's angry stagger around the outfield with George Strait to bring it home.

And compare every one of his home runs and his reaction out of the box to every other player. He's usually around first already when it's out. Most other players are barely out of the box.
I 100% agree. We have a fantastic team calling our games. I do most of my busy work during Astros games and it would suck so much to let these folks go somewhere else. We need some TexAgs sleuths to post the email of his boss so we can respectfully communicate how much we want him to stay.
You talking about the orange rally towels? I got an extra I'm happy to give you if that's what you're wantingBregxit said:

Don't do that. Harassing random team employees isn't right.

Not to mention they are ATT Sports not Astros employees no?

This is incorrect. Only the "championship season" days played is looked at for rookie eligibility. The championship season does not include the playoffs.

The Major League Baseball Players' Association today announced the Astros RHP Justin Verlander earned two 2022 Players Choice Awards as he was named both the American League Outstanding Pitcher and the American League Comeback Player of the Year.

Thanks. I wondered if I had it backwards.

Yes the orange WS rally towel. I have 17, 19 and 21. Couldn't get tickets this year. If you have a spare I would love you foevah.
Good Bull
Dusty is THE biggest character in baseball. He's freaking played with the entire HoF, managed forever, wears surgical gloves, his own sweatbands, he's a bon vivant (a connoisseur of fine wines and d a master teller of tales), and a great guy that loves his players.
We bag on him and want him gone, but we should embrace the sh** out of him while we have the chance.

I will be thrilled to death if the Astros win a World Series with Dusty Baker as the manager. Dusty is a guy that you want as a significant part of Astros history.
I never said I wanted to harass random employees. But sure, make **** up bruh.
