Just a throwback to last fall since we had an off day yesterday


my favorite part of that clip is the old dude going absolute goblin mode after the Yordan homer at 2:16 in the clip.

Me too! I LOVE that guy. Every time I watch Yordan's homer I think that guy portrays perfectly what we all felt.

Uncle Mike update. He sat out Wednesday's game and last night went 0 for 3 with a walk. Pop up, fly out and K. After his 4th plate appearance he was taken out of the game. Good thing the Astros have the luxury of taking things slow with him, but sure will be good to see him back in the lineup.

And the Space Cowboys lost to Reno 24-2.

Video of Marly Rivera dropping the C word on camera around a bunch of kids getting signatures from Judge.

Thanks for sharing. That's a cool feature I didn't know about and will have to try. I've actually never watched a game while listening to the radio broadcast. Do they tend to be synced up pretty well or is one ahead of the other?

Synced perfectly.

Rangers better win out or they will have to return that April Champions trophy they ordered a couple of weeks back.

I'm not a Clanton fan and actually thing the guy is a tool of the highest order but he is absolutely nails with these videos.

They're all top notch

And man as much as I love that Yordan bomb I love to watch Framber pitch when he's feeling it. It just looks like just stands straight up and tosses it up there and throws in a chill leg kick when he breaks one off. Dude is fun to watch.

Best feature ever

Watched Moneyball for the first time since we had a day off, pretty damn good movie. Had no idea Chris Pratt was in it. Still think my fav baseball movie of all time is still For Love of the Game

The immediate back track that everyone does. "I wasn't talking about you.", which when translated mean that you were talking about them

Accidently clicked on their thread only to find it is all about the Astros. Lol, guess April really is wrapping up.

Let me guess. They claim they don't care about us. They want everyone to know. And they can't keep talking about it. Because they DON'T CARE. Want to know how I know? Because that is how losers talk.

I'm pumped for the 2022 World Series Rematch. Hopefully, we do as well as we did in the 2021 World Series Rematch. But I would also be happy with the results of the 2020 ALCS Rematch.

The chasm between how they view their club (and city, fans, etc.) and reality is incredibly vast. Bordering on mental disorder.

Most of their last page is literally about the Astros. That's pretty bad

You should listen to BIll Simmons' "Rewatchables" podcast about the movie. it's really fascinating. They originally intended to make it as a documentary and Brad Pitt didn't want to play Billy Beane until he realized it wouldn't get made unless he was the star of it.

That movie has so many fantastic rewatchable scenes in it, none more than the talk where he destroys David Justice.

Those dark pants don't look great with the blue top. Otherwise these are pretty solid.

I think those are Booker T Washington HS's colors.

At least you know it's Seattle. Otherwise it's a pretty tame top. And the darker pants are woof.

Let's admit what these are. An alternate uni that's designed to see merchandise. That top will sell. In that sense it's successful. Our top sells. So do the caps. It's successful. If any of these sell it's successful.

I don't see many people in the stands on a CWS telecast wearing theirs. I'll be surprised if the Rangers one has a big volume.

Yeah it's hard to come back from "The New York Yankees are paying you three and a half million dollars to play against them. That's what they think of you."

I also enjoyed Justice on the plane:

"Billy likes to keep the money on the field."
"Soda money?"

It seems like whatever marketing director leads this project is infatuated with dark pants. That uniform would be so much better if it was just all blue and yellow. Same with rangers.

Like wtf, this isn't softball

LOL. I've accidentally on it a few times because I absent mindedly just click on the first thread listed in the forum, which for years as always been the Astros

The trident on the hat is really cool.

Seems alike they would have incorporated the space needle, unless I missed it.

My last comment on our Aggies neighbors from the north before enjoying the WS rematch starting tonight...

Yesterday's Rangers-Yankees game had 17 total posts. This morning's "little brother" comments about the Astros total 20 and counting.

But they really, really don't care or bother to think about the 2-time champions!

id guess there is very little actually connecting it to the city.

Just like the rangers had numerous actual city connections but instead they tied it to minor league baseball...I had one buddy who is a life long DFW area resident who when we discussed it didnt even know the cats were once called the panthers, because it was nearly 100 years ago when the name changed. And like the spurs that it mentions were a minor league team in the are for like 5 years

The Rangers issue is they can't really connect to a city. Or of they did it would have to connect to Dallas, FW and Arlington all at once and then it's a hodgepodge. So they chose to ignore the city completely and go with "local baseball". And that's really an unknown entity to most people.

My guess I don't get your hopes up.

But they still connect to baseball is all 3 so still hodgepodge.

They should have featured panther city, spurs for the stockyards, the glowing orb thing add a star because obviously

The design could have almost been completely the same just better explanation and actually make it city based

I did not realize how badly Nola was struggling so far.

ERA north of 5
Walks Up
Strike Outs Down
He's not inducing ground balls
Spike in line drives
Velo down

But his last 2 starts have been trending in the right direction. It helps it was against the Reds and Rockies.
