Really need Bregman, Pena, and Tucker to start hot with Altuve and Mike out, Alvarez barely playing much and Abreu the new guy. Have to really temper my expectations early because right now I'm assuming we go 145-17

Probably will be tough to surpass 121 wins.

Don't forget the balanced schedule this year, so less of the AL West. 132-30 more likely.

161-1 this year. Last game of the year Dusty takes a 3 hour nap and accidentally leaves Bielak in all 9 innings

Seeing both Pressly and Stanek in the bottom of the 4th. Exhibition games are wild.

Have they mentioned on the broadcast if they are using minor league or major league calls for balls/strikes tonight? Maldy's out here framing pitches like the ump is calling them and they aren't using the robot ump zone.

I'm pretty confident the Astros made the decision to make it MLB real and not AAA

He's about to show up Adley for best young catcher.

What can you guys tell me about Bligh Madris? Does he factor at all in this teams future?

He's the odd man out to make room for Dirden.

Convince me he deserves a 40 man over Dirden.

I think he will get cut/traded eventually. I believe Jose starts on 60 day giving Dirden a spot. Then when he comes off Madris gets released unless an arm who has been passed over fall off a cliff

I predict at some point in 2023, you will use the phrase "that's my catcher" when referring to Y Diaz

If Dirden plans out he's the perfect guy to semi platoon with Chas. Lefty bat that has trouble with lefties, but hits righties well. Can play CF well enough too.

But if he makes it and if Brantley is out a month, will Dirden really factor in in the OF mix? Yordan, Tucker, Chas, & Jake are likely ahead of him. Brantley will be back soon so he will be too. We're trying to justify Diaz and if he needs an occasional spot start in LF then that adds someone else getting ABs ahead of Dirden.

Bligh was a move made by someone in the front office. I assume one of the assistant GMs. By removing him from the team without giving them much of a shot kind of makes Brown the bad guy who doesn't trust his AGM. Plus I assume he's going to go somewhere else. Dirden can't go anywhere.

Bligh is a lefty bat too with slightly more versatility since he can play OF and 1st. Finally, it's the 26th man on the roster who likely is out in a month. How much is it really going to matter?

I don't really have a dog in this one unless it impacts Diaz. Just throwing a few ideas out there.

When he usurps Maldy, we may have to block one another for a few days.

I think I can confidently say most of us want a guy who can hit (and also play a little defense) to usurp Maldy.

The knock on Diaz is that he's not good on defense compared to Maldy and Lee.

Maldy hasn't been as strong defensively the last year or two though?

True. He can still gun guys out, but what he does best, apparently, is gameplan and control the pitchers.

He lost 30 pounds this offseason

Lets see if that has any impact on his defense

Is Opening Day really not on ATT?

Talk about getting the shaft! TK, Blum, and Julia miss out on the playoffs games and then don't even get Opening Day.

Usually, people want their game picked for national broadcasts.

Thought you guys would love this. One of my kids had an exhibit at the district GT fair tonight, and one of the other exhibits was about baseball. Kid had a "top 10" facts abut baseball list, and look what came up at #10.
