Never nervous Neris?
I think you guys need to give him his proper respect by calling him Nasty Neris.
I am partial to Hector the Protector.

Tomorrow is going to be tough - Steele is having himself a year.
He's 6-0 in 7 starts, with a 1.82 ERA and he's gone at least 6 innings in all games but 1 (5.1 innings in a win).
Of course, we know how sharp Javier can be.

Chances Judge gets drilled tomorrow?
Abreu brings his OPS from .515 to .542. A couple more big games and he'll be at Maldy's level.
We all get it - but let's not make it negative on a 2 for 3 night with 2 RBIs
For the moment I'm going to hope this is the beginning of a comeback

That's the type of competition where we decide to get this season started

The starting pitcher chooses the jersey. #Astros ace Framber Valdez always chooses the blue alternate. Always!

But…
Twice this season, he hasn’t had a choice: Opening Day (gold) + tonight (Space City).
Those are the ONLY 2 non-quality starts Framber’s had all season… pic.twitter.com/QoQZsJNX24

How the F did Yordan only get $115MM?
I mean, I see people complain that Montero got some money, but damn.

Astros don't really have any bad contracts, other than Baez I guess.
Still, Yordan is effectively subsidizing the next 5 years.

LMJ 17
Javier 13
Framber 6.8
Urquidy 3
Garcia .76
Brown .73
Obviously dealing with injuries on three of those arms sucks, but what an embarrassment of riches at bargain bin prices.
That's 4 guys with "Ace Level" stuff (LMJ, Framber, Javier and Brown) for around the combined price of many other teams Number 1.

We'd be crucified by the media if we were doing that (even if it is nothing)

Man Arlington radio talking about needing deGrom back if they want to make a Series run this year. Man that easy schedule had them riding real high
I'm no baseball savant, but I don't think deGrom would have helped last night when they scored 0 runs.wangus12 said:

Judge is a great baseball player. But it has also been proven he used Apple Watches, juiced balls, cameras in the outfield. He absolutely knew what pitch was coming. Maybe they were tipping pitches and 1B coach was telling him. Or something else. Yet Altuve stole an MVP from him and gets cursed at everywhere he goes.
The best theory I've seen is that they noticed Kirk (the catcher) tipping with his setup when he was expecting a breaking ball and he was looking at the on-deck circle for that call. I believe earlier in the game there was other behavior that supported that theory.
It's obvious he was looking for a signal, which must have been relayed from someone (dugout or on deck or whatever). No doubt he new what was coming.
But the thing is - there are legal ways to pick up ok ripped pitches, and there are illegal methods. We have no evidence whatsoever as to how the pitch was known.
