Who is going to Opening day? CF, tjack, anyone, Bueller??

Beer is on me all game long if Dubon is not the starting 2B.

Except you have someone with a sub .300 OBP leading off.

Tucker
Bregman
Alvarez
Abreu
Pena
McCormick
Hensley
Meyers
Maldonado

That's better than mine. Which is why Dusty will never do it.

I've been sitting on a barstool for a bit in Memphis and I'm not sure of your point. Is this in response to the farm or opening day?

No point, as per yewsh.

Its my opening day prediction (not preference, prediction)

I was not addressed but I'm not going. Tickets were a grip. Crane is trying to save up to extended Bregman or Tucker, I guess. Small kids are a joy and a curse to bring to games. It's usually better on a random Tuesday night when it's not quite so packed. And to add on I'm sneaking out to Aggieland for the tu game. Momma won't appreciate me out too many nights. But I think we should get a TA night going. If we can avoid the 300 ABs for Dubon, Marvin will keep us lubricated.

You know what, didn't Maldy bunt for a hit in the WBC? Bat him leadoff, f it

Not sure if this Brown comment on Brown was posted earlier or not.

March 22: RHP Hunter Brown scratched from start
Brown was scheduled to start against the Mets in Port St. Lucie, Fla., but he was scratched because of lower back tightness. Astros general manager Dana Brown said the move was precautionary after Brown felt tightness in his lower back while working out a day earlier. He's day to day.

"We don't think this is going to hinder him from starting [the season]," Brown said. "It's going to take a couple of days to really see how he's feeling."

Have no doubt, I am good for this!

1. No way Tucker's batting before cleanup in a Dusty roster.

2. That lineup is a wash for 1st place without Brantley and Altuve. A couple of games down at worst, even with McCullers on the shelf.

Injury to Altuve could force the Astros to look outside of the organization for some infield help.

Dana Brown: “I’m always asking about what’s going on with other clubs, but now when you talk about it, it’s more of a reality with the injury to Altuve."https://t.co/rF9q9E0WnD

Good thing they signed Jose Abreu.

We have talked for years about a TA night at MMP. Let me know and I'll reserve. Would love to talk ****, drink a beer(s), and have a great night with you guys.

Let's make it happen!

Can't decide if I'm going to pull the trigger

Lately w/ New Era I have to try them on first. Typically a 7 5/8 but the sizing has been odd. The hats are pretty sweet though. I will definitely try and swing by the team store and grab one next Thursday.

---

I had the same issue - low profile World Series hat fits great while the World Series Champs one is much tighter. Not sure how that happened, but I guess the manufacturer goofed. And good luck if ordering a hat from Fanatics and having to return it.

---

New Era fitted hat sizing has gone to crap over the last few years. I have three 7 5/8 on field hats purchased in the last year and a half and all 3 fit different.

I found myself in San Diego for game 2 of the NLDS last year and picked up tickets from a couple leaving the stadium in the 6th. I bought a 7 5/8 Padres cap that fits perfectly all time.

I have a 2021 WS Astros cap that fits perfectly after I've had a haircut and fits pretty good the rest of the time.

And I have a 'Space City' 7 5/8 that fits tight after a haircut and is completely unwearable after a week or so.

It's really frustrating trying to buy fitted hats in an area where I can't find an Astros cap in store to try on before I buy them. New Era needs to get their crap together

We would need name tags. Ha!

Nah...I'm pretty sure after one trip around the room I'd know exactly who is who.

maybe this is why Crane hasn't paid Tucker yet? He wants Ohtani????

If you could pick either, who do you want?

Yeah give me Othani any day. Elite pitcher AND an elite hitter? Easy decision

name tags could potentially increase confusion also

I am SUPER petty and mostly just want him to make people mad

The fact that he's probably the greatest of all time is a bonus
