That's fantastic. He'll walk every at bat.

Yes, but Breggy is going to bat with men on a lot & face frustrated pitchers that just walked or gave up a single to Uncle Mike after a 10 pitch AB.EastCoastAgNc said:Pena isn't gonna see a single strike batting 7th.bearkatag15 said:Best lineup heading into 2023? pic.twitter.com/HhmuLvrexi

I see your point and I suspect Dusty will start the season with Peña batting second anyway, but I am more worried about how many runs we score than what Peña's batting average is…and that lineup will score a $h1t-ton of runs.
Or maybe he'll learn to layoff the pitch.
Some days we need to bat Maldonado cleanup just to screw with the other teams' heads.bearkatag15 said:Best lineup heading into 2023? pic.twitter.com/HhmuLvrexi

Against Philly, I'd bat Maldy leadoff and let him work one of his patented HBP/walks.
So are we confident Brantley is 100% already?
I don't keep up closely enough to hear how his injury rehab is going

No. Hopefully he'll be ready by opening day. He's just now taking live BP.
I would definitely bat Yordan leadoff the first time we play against Robbie Ray.Wabs said:

Fckn clown
What a cop out...When we're playing our best they can't stop us.
So for some reason you're not at your best and just fold like a cheap lawn chair every time we play you? What gives?

I'm still waiting for anyone to figure out and tell me how we CHEATED AND WON GAME 2 AND 7 ON THE FREAKING ROAD.
Evan Dreilich can gobble my crank. Seriously.
Yep. Also how did the Dodgers lose as they were using video to steal signs too?
Lol. Yankees fans live in an alternate reality.
However the reality they live in, besides not winning lately, is pretty sweet. Oh, here's a private letter from the Commish, just don't do that again. *wink*

Still amazing that Cora did same **** with Red Sox, a year later, was punished by MLB, and nobody's bringing that up years later.

It was fine until the last 1/3. Then he really steps in it.
Problem with baseball media is that the writers and talking heads have an allegiance to a team in the LA, NY, Chicago, Philly, or Boston markets.
Even with the growth in markets like Texas over last decade, the teams in these legacy markets continue to dominate coverage.
Think about it, if a team in any of those markets had a run like the Astros have had over the last 6 seasons, they'd be covered as one of the greatest teams in baseball history.

So, he still wants Hou-ston?
He's not very smart

I guarantee as a lifelong Aggie and Houston sports fan there were certain teams I dreaded playing knowing they had our number. The Yankee fans know it and the Yankee players for sure DAMN will know it.FrioAg 00 said:

They can talk all the hollow **** they want but they know deep down if they see us paired with them in the playoffs they will get that pit in their stomach and be like, oh crap, here we go again.
I really wish they would have upgraded at either CF or C.
If Maldy bats .205 with an OPS of .620 can we say it's an upgrade?Jet Black said:

From .172 to .186 to .205. Another decade on that trajectory and he will bust through .250.
OK, I hope he learns to at least spot the non-competitive slider that ends up a foot or more off the plate.Bregxit said:I hope so. Bidge never did.jkag89 said:

He was battling a hernia and broken hand most of the year so maybe he improves???redline248 said:If Maldy bats .205 with an OPS of .620 can we say it's an upgrade?Jet Black said:

It's okay to have a flaw and chase. But you can't be bottom 3 in the league. Hementioned working on it on the offseason.
Ah, inking Pena for Cooperstown.

He did hit better 2nd half while injured.

Well his HPB, while not an official ab, will go down in Astros history.
