We're about to get our "easy" week. Need to take care of business and the rest will sort itself out.


Huge pitching advantage tomorrow, and then the next 6 games against Oakland/KC should be a 5-1 stretch at minimum

So 6-1, or even 5-2 starting tomorrow would probably let us gain another game or two depending on if the Dodgers take care of business in Seattle


You better be ripping more jeans, dude…


I love that the jeans won't die. Will be in an obit someday.


I could go on to cure cancer and be president of the United States but I'll always be "ripped jeans guy" on this thread. Gotta love fan forums

Please, please let the Astros score 15 runs today and further validate why this should be our default lineup.

Please.

I don't even care about the order. There are no holes in that lineup so it doesn't matter anyways

So genuine question, what would change in the order? I'd go:

Altuve
Brantley
Yordan
Bregman
Tucker
McCormick
Diaz
Pena
Abreu

You could draw those names out of a hat and be pretty satisfied.

The best part is, every one of those guys is locked in for a couple more years.

McCormick and Diaz at 8 and 9 is very funny, but I'll allow it.

Also, Padres are sitting Machado. Carpenter in at DH.

I still like the altuve/Bregman/yordan/tuck stack best and wish we'd go back to that and build from there.

That is a very high risk, high reward trade a team would have to make. When he is healthy, he is one of the best centerfielders in the game, but he is hurt almost every single year for multiple months it seems like.

I can confirm that we've spoken to Stearns but haven't heard anything about level of interest.

I made a post about the president of baseball operations scoop a few days ago

They're going to make some additions to the scouting department this off-season and I know a couple of the additions will be international scouts. It certainly wouldn't be a bad idea to hire someone with Japan connections. That's sort of what's been missing. Lots of connections to Cuba, DR and Venezuela.. but not so much in Japan.

I expect a couple new names in the front office as well. Likely a President of Baseball Operations which will take a lot off Crane's plate.

I also wouldn't be surprised to see a familiar face join the coaching staff in some capacity (not Hinch).


Here's what I wrote last week for anyone who missed it

Thank the good Lord that the Astros are positioning themselves to be division champs once again. After watching that debacle of a football game in Miami yesterday at least I can turn my attention to something positive watching the Stros today.

it's silly but true

last night as i was following the ags score on my phone my reaction was well that's a bummer i guess

when the stros got swept by the mariners a few weeks ago i woke up in the middle of the night stewing on it

there's no way i could explain that to 20 year old me

How we feel from 2017-now must be how Bama fans or Georgia fans feel about their football team.

It's awesome but also stressful

I'm curious about something. I've read a couple of times lately that the Astros front office will set the lineups during postseason. I don't remember hearing that until now. How long has Texags known about this?

I think it's more so a group of people sit in a room and game plan lineup, bullpen, match ups, etc. the front office has the final say. I doubt Dana Brown hands Dusty the lineup card card and says do this or else.
