Some of you guys started watching in October 2017 and it shows


Or this year. Lots of names that I don't recognize hitting the panic button with "bad at some point in the first dozen games thus bad forever" takes


This thread is actually freaking out less than previous years IMO after losses.

Also, who tf are you?


It appears he is "the glove"

Been here awhile, I think at least since 2010, maybe earlier. I don't post a lot, but I've been here.

where it's really, really good to play in the AL West

Chat AI still living like its 2019 - once the glitches are worked out will it eventually replace Dusty?

Classic Astros bullpen. I hope this isn't a trend for the whole season. Need some spark and go on a winning streak.


You know this happened to start the season last season.

Pressly also gave up a 3-Run HR to Aaron Hicks in a tie ball game against the Yankees early in the season last season.

You guys have to stop panicking.
It seems to me that Pressly usually isn't as effective when he comes into tie games as in save situations. Is that true?

In 2022 -

Imagine going back in time 3 months and telling your past self that our everyday second baseman Mauricio Dubon was hitting .355 after 2 weeks.

Every game that Alvarez is out while Brantley and Altuve are still out is like a knee to the groin.

The league is pretty upside down right now.

The Mets and Dodgers are at .500.

The Phillies, Cards and Mariners have gotten off to similar starts as the Astros -- get they aren't missing two pieces of their lineups.

Pirates, Cubs and DBacks are above .500. The Rangers and Angels are also above .500.

I'm ready for things to balance out.

I really dislike the wholesale change approach. I understand everyone is going to get time off to rest, and everyone is going to get playing time. I accept that process. It just feels reactionary when three players are swapped out of the lineup in a day, and 4 positions are affected by that swap (LF, DH, catcher, CF).

It is so contrary to the scientific method to make wholesale changes because it is difficult, if not impossible, to know how each change affected the outcome.

Your mistake was thinking Dusty knows anything about the scientific method


However, and I can't believe I'm defending Dusty on this, when Yordan is given a day off, are you really that upset that Maldonado also sits? Would you rather have Meyers in the lineup than Julks? That's a push at best, imo.

Reactionary to what exactly?

I think it's more so Yordan has a scheduled day off, it's Yainers turn to catch, we don't have a firm DH with Brantley out, and Julks/Meyer are sharing time in the OF.

The Jose Abreu statcast page is ugly. Beginning to get worried about his performance and inability to hit the ball hard.

New team, new city, new teammates. Give him some time.

He is also a slow starter.

that AB from Jose Abreu yesterday should be framed as one of the worst veteran at-bats in a high leverage situation I've ever seen.

I agree, his AB in the 9th looked like he was done and just wanted to get the game over with.

Anyone have a good streaming site for games this year. The couple I've tried either don't work or only have the other teams crappy announcers
