I think so, but I'll let others confirm that for me.

Anyone know who's calling the game?

Belli hit a 420 foot homerun on 4/20

How can you not be romantic about baseball

Sweet. Even better. Would recommend Ted Lasso if anyone needs a new show to stream since you have to sign up for the Stros anyway.

The ATV+ original content is in general pretty great. To add to the others already listed, The Morning Show and Mythic Quest were also pretty good. But Severance far and away my favorite. Highly suggest giving the new Tetris movie as well.

so the Braves are 14-5

oddly enough 4 of their 5 losses have come to the Padres...whom they played 7 times in the first 3 weeks of the season.

the Braves are 4-3 at home.

Acuna looks like the best player in the National League. Olson and Murphy have started hot as well

Flat out terrible contract of 5/85.

He has been bad to an absolute bum (pun intended) the entire deal.

2020 - 6.48 ERA, 7.18 FIP, 70 ERA+
2021 - 4.67 ERA, 4.63 FIP, 90 ERA+
2022 - 4.88 ERA, 4.85 FIP, 83 ERA+
2023 - 10.26 ERA, 8.13 FIP, 43 ER+
--
Total - 5.23 ERA, 5.18 FIP, 80 ERA+

85 M dollars get to 3+ years of **** pitching. So bad they prefer him to not pitch.

Catching up on this thread but now that he's been DFA'd and likely to clear waivers do you kick the tires on him with a minimum contract?

You gotta be willing to cut someone off the 40 man and demote on the 26 man?

Let's say the Astros found a way to add him. If he pitched games and was terrible no one would say "well he only costs the league minimum." We already have cheap pitchers with better stuff.

Ok, didn't think about that. Maybe Seth Martinez can go.

We cant. Right now our 40 and our 26 man rosters are IMHO kind of messy. I can't see us DFAing anyone; trading is a different story. But I can see someone like Texas taking a cheap flyer.

I actually would not be shocked to see them purchase Bauer in mid season if they are still in a good position. From their perspective the reward would be worth the risk. I wonder if SD would do the same.

To kind of further my point, this is what add to your rotation when you're short on depth, need innings, and aren't chasing a title. Otherwise, it's not even worth the minimum

YES. Been saying it for a while but I want Bauer. Watching his videos on youtube it seems he's toned it down a ton, and if he could swallow his pride I'd love to see him come to Houston. Hell, he has a house here so it isn't like he hates the town.
