He also hasn't shown he can hit enough to be an OF

I remember being super excited for Leon, especially after Springer left.

I was always curious why they shifted him to infield when we had heard how he would be the centerfielder of the future

"- Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach are great visits before a night game."

It's been one of my long-term goals to catch several spring training games and watch a launch at the Cape.

Maybe next year is going to be the year.

Why go to the Cape when you can just watch Yordan's BP?

Thanks. I'm here all week.

Very nice! Enjoy the games! Maybe I can pick up one at the field and one at the Cape.

I've wanted to go to a launch from the Cape since the days I worked at NASA in the late 60's and early 70's.

We had a school fundraiser here in Dallas this past weekend that was "Havana Nights" themed. I knew I had met a new friend when he showed up in a Yordan jersey as his Cuban inspired outfit. Happy Astros Season!

I like to think that Hinch said "you can be my bench coach any day" and Espada replied "bull**** you can be mine"

I forgot that the Tigers brought Hinch back for a 4th season

good news...Cabrera and his contract are gone

bad news...Javy Baez and his contract are still around

Baez's salary will be 25% of the Tigers payroll for 2024

what an awful, awful, awful free agent signing

how do teams keep getting duped by contract year rockstars?

This is why I am super hesitant to give ANY player form any sport a record contract on a contract year. Rather I like to look at the year prior and see how they did. Too many times across multiple sports have we seen players ball out during the contract year only to fall flat afterwards (i.e. Rendon, damn near any NFL player, etc.)

I'd like to think we're giving him a low offer to just come back.

I'll be curious to see if the regulars playing more this spring will help some who start slow like Bregman and Tucker.

I try not to take much from some of the Spring games, but seems to be a slight rough start. Hopefully nothing much to it, though.

Sure but it's not as good as Chas.

Hard to tell, we've got the taxi squad in. I think the actual first teamers have played once

Don't take any of the results seriously.

The angels won the Cactus League the last 2 seasons.

We went 6-14 in 2021 and made the WS.

The Cards won the Grapefruit League last year and had their worst season in a long long time.

Do we not remember fatty Dirden last year? He was red hot, didn't make the team, and proceeded to have a mediocre .710 OPS in Sugar Land last year.

Old man Abreu dominated the Spring and had his worst season ever.

Results of ST games (individual or team) mean absolutely squat.

Nice to see Farmer already in midseason form.

I wanted to check out how bad it was, pitch selection, etc and there is almost no info on the gameday tracker.

Jay Bruce should've been an Astro a long time ago.

I think I remember them pursuing him or his name coming up a few times over the last few years of his career.

It seems like other ST parks have some stat cast type setups for the pitch tracking/exit velo, but the Astros don't have (at least publicly available) tracking at their park.

In listening to Omar this inning, you can really tell how much the continuity of the coaching staff means to the coaches and players. Thank you, Jim, for keeping the core together!
