Looking at that light stanchion, there is room for 4 more. Then we have to make another light pole.

Do we display our titles outside the stadium? We need something like this.

This was my favorite part... "They're really really good... They are so good they don't need to do any trickery"

That was beautiful coming from Jomboy's mouth
absolute devil magic with Hensley was great. hahah

We have the flags in the Biggio/Bagwell statue plaza.

That would look slick.

But looks like they're redoing the little field outside along Crawford St and have posted flagpoles with pennants.

Was just down there on Sunday, I liked how it looks (older ones are to the left but didn't take a picture of them)

That being said I feel this isn't the main place people walk in the stadium so displaying them at the home plate entrance might have been better

Predicted Record: 97-65
Team MVP: Yordan
Team Cy Young: Javier
Rookie of the Year: Hensley

Surprise Player of the Year: Hensley will be #7 games played and be #4 OPS on roster by end of regular season, and Dusty won't play him enough to satisfy us
Make 2 or more Positive Predictions:
Tucker in the 30/30 club, with 35 SB and 32 HR
Brantley will struggle but we will be very happy with our #4 outfielder that emerges (Dirden or Julkes) and the world will hate us even more that we prove we just reload constantly. We will have to trade Dubon and/or Meyers to force Dusty to play our new emerging outfielder


Make 2 or more Negative Predictions:
Pena strikes out >25%
Altuve doesn't play until June and has <100 hits this season

I think the only broadcast is the spanish radio team tonight. Time to brush up on your Rosetta Stone.

Predicted Record: 99-63
Team MVP: Yordan Alvarez
Team Cy Young: Framber Valdez
Rookie of the Year: Yainer Diaz

Surprise Player of the Year: Yainer Diaz

Make 2 or more Positive Predictions:
  • We will continue our streak of Opening Day victories with Abreu hitting a HR against his former team
  • Yordan hits 45+ HR and Bregman and Tucker both have 30+


Make 2 or more Negative Predictions:
  • Injuries lead us to (barely) a sub-100 win season
  • The bullpen falls off a bit, specifically Stanek

Guys, based on what we know about Chandler, he may be actually asking a legitimate question.

one small silver lining from Altuve's injury...

it's puts some positive pressure on the extension guys -- Bregman and Tucker -- to come out swinging in April.

can't wait until May or June to get hot. Astros need them to start strong -- like .900 OPS month-of-April strong

So Diaz is on the opening day roster. Nice!!!

I guess two corresponding 40 man roster moves will have to be made for Julks and Salazar. Altuve to 60 day seems like the obvious one. Wonder what the other one is?

My guess is that they optioned Lee to get him more ABs in Sugar Land.

I kinda like the idea of Dirden and Lee getting everyday reps at AAA instead of mostly riding the pine in the bigs.

With Dirden, if we were committed to starting him in LF until Brantley returns, I'd be totally cool with that. But given that we seem intent on giving Meyers a full time look and Yanier should get some LF playing time to get his bat in the lineup, not sure how many times Dirden would be in the lineup anyway.

Same with Lee. I think Diaz will get most of the Maldy backup duties for the first month or two. Given that he'll be playing other positions occasionally, carrying a third catcher is probably prudent. Not sure it would be the best use of resources for Lee to sit in the dugout most of the time though.

With all that said, I'm interested to see what Salazar and Julks can do, even if their playing time is limited and sporadic. They both had nice springs.

Really interested to see what Julks does. My feel is that he'll do as well, or probably better than, Meyers.
