I could tell yesterday HB is starting to settle in and get some confidence.

He's kinda strutting around the mound, working at his own pace, and showing some emotions. Can also tell him and Yanier work very well together.

Bound to happen sometime, if it is a solo shot and it does not open the floodgates I can live with it.

Regarding the first point, unless you are
Dusty how can you be so sure? I believe that when I see it with Dusty
I'm not going to spill how I know on a public message board
unless your little source is Dusty, they dont know **** about what is in that mans brain regarding the lineup. But I will say, and it should be obvious for anyone that if Maldanado doesn't pick it up some he will lose some playing time. It isn't rocket science.

He's just pointing out that Dusty has proven to be a stubborn old mule on stuff like this. At some point, though, the front office has the ability (or at least the desire) to force his hand. He does have the Crane trump card, I guess, but we'll see.

I choose to believe in the youth movement, though

Please keep it up, you're way better at it than the guy on the Texans' board.

Couple things I know (which obviously can change, but this is what I've heard):

- Diaz will be getting more playing time soon. Patience for Maldy is starting to run out.

- Nobody is worried about Jose Abreu. They knew he was a slow starter when they signed him and there's no concern...yet.

- Drew Gilbert won't be in Asheville much longer. I give it until mid-May. Maybe sooner. They do want to see his strikeout rate go down, but it's a small sample and not necessarily a concern.

- Speaking of prospects, keep an eye on Ryan Clifford. They are in love with this kid.
People should be just as excited about Clifford as they are Gilbert. He's walked more times than he's struck out while slugging .527, and he's still 19 years old.

I love a good conspiracy theory (not that this is one) so anyone who suggests something plausible and that could happen I am all for it.

I also agree that Dusty is old and stubborn so it may take someone from the FO to step in

It would be very Verlander-esque if the first couple of dingers he gives up are solo shots.

checking in with the NL East...

the Braves (17-8) are glad the Astros left town. Atlanta has won 3-in-a-row vs. the Marlins since getting swept by the 'stros.

the Mets (14-11) were holding their own without JV and Scherzer, but have now lost 4-in-a-row.

the Braves and Mets play a 4-game series this weekend

Yes! I had about 25 people blocked during the playoffs. Now it's down to just 1.

Who do you think hits their first home run this year first?

Jose Abreu
Mauricio Dubon
Michael Brantley
Jose Altuve

Logic tells me Abreu but I'm fearing it might be Altuve

I know most of y'all appreciate the info, and I appreciate y'all!

To be completely honest, I kinda pick and choose what to put out there since my "little source" tells me this stuff in confidence. I probably shouldn't be throwing it out there on a public forum anyway, so when I get met with folks being an *******, it's probably best to just shut it down and take a step back. Just not sure why all of a sudden it's a problem.

All good.

Hensley has to be the guy that gets sent back when Altuve returns … right? He shows flashes but nothing consistent or clutch and cannot play as many places as Dubon. Meyers and Julks have shown much better as well.


I've been thinking about this. Maybe my memory isn't good, but didn't the Astros decide to keep a third catcher on the roster so Diaz could DH? If he becomes the starting catcher, and Brantley returns, that issue goes away doesn't it? It seems like Salazar is turning into a wasted roster spot.

The good thing about Maldy's struggles is that they aren't new.

They've now acquired or flirted with acquiring a catcher for multiple deadlines and offseasons. They know he's an issue and that hasn't changed.

Remember when he was posting cryptic tweets about 'How quick they forget' yadda yadda yadda. Well dude you can't hit half your weight and your defense is not what it was. Hell you've had troubling simply catching pitches. So yeah...We're ready to move on.

Flagged- personal foul, hit out of bounds and unnecessary roughness.
