You do realize that these are all scripted, and the players are told from day one what to say right? Take everything said with a grain of salt. Most of the time, players will say what makes them and the team sound good.

All a moot point since JV doesn't hang around when he's injured so he wouldn't be here even he was.

I'll have to disagree with that. Unfortunately, I've got a lot of work to do today so no more TexAgging to the game, but enjoyed the discussion.

I was in media for about 7 years. We can agree to disagree, but from everything I observed and was told, it is very much the case.

Let's assume the fictional movie is correct. A successful team needs that mind of leadership.

How do you know what each player brings to the table? Unless you're in the locker room, dugout, on the field, etc you (we) don't know **** about that part of the game besides very small snippets here and there.

The observations of the people who cover the Astros for a living
What I can see with my own eyes when watching a game live on on TV.

It all adds up into an opinion.

I am fully aware Justin Verlander left voluntarily and is currently injured, but I always felt last year he was a tremendous presence in the dugout through both highs and lows, and while Hunter Brown has posted similar #s, the Astros didn't replace his intangibles.





I know you're taking the rest of the day. But how many interviews, press conferences, podcasts, etc have you seen on Hunter Brown? Enough to get a sense of who he is and what he brings?

Does Framber feel more comfortable to be himself with or without JV around leading? Same of Javier? Did JV rub anyone the wrong way and affect them negatively? I don't expect you to know any of this. I sure don't. It's because we don't know **** about the real dynamics besides small curated piece that gets shared with us.

I have two extras for tonight in 110. Just want enough to cover parking and a beer so I'll say $60 for both (30 ea).

The fact it took this long for this good of a deal to get snatched up is ludicrous. If I wasn't catching up on this thread this late in the day I would've jumped all over it.
