Someone needs to take Altuve just to defend his base running skills

We went from 0 reliable lefties to possibly 3.

You shall defend Martinez to the death. You cannot slander his name for all of 2024 season. Positive vibes only.

Come playoff time when all the Johnny come lately hordes show up, there will be fights to defend the honor of your player after they are slandered by some chump.

God bless the soul that choses Montero or Abreu (Jose)

Anyone have Singleton?


Montero wasn't a choice. It was a calling.


Montero with 0 runs in 1 inning tonight.

Also named after a teenage mutant ninja turtle, just spelled different.

Good for them. Didn't make sense for us at that price.


Thinking about this more and I gotta give Crane credit. He seems to be a little loose with his money and prospects when it comes to guys he wants (see JV, Abreu, Montero, Hader). None were smart values. But Crane stood firm and didn't play Boras's game.

For my own sanity and because of my daily internal rage towards Dusty Baker last season, give me Joe Espada so I can have MY manager's back at least for one season, even after our first 3-game losing streak when the first Fire Espada messages start inevitably going out.

Well crap, I must have missed your post on that. I'd love to since we all hugged and sang kumbaya and became family last year. Pretty sure I promised to buy the first round.

I'm committed to playing golf with my oldest, her normal playing partner and dad. Let me see if I can get it rescheduled.

I'll PM you so we don't clutter this.

They're already out there because some people feel that unless you're undefeated in spring training, you gotta tear it all down.

Social media is a dumb place

It will be so easy to spot them and they will be so very confused. I'm loving this more and more.

First thought -- man that is a Porkchop bat signal. Him being the first reply did not disappoint!


I had kind of a fun thought for the regulars on this thread. I remember in about 2019-2020 farmer would always have Tucker's back when people posted against him… to the point where we all said don't make farmer mad talking about TED.

It would be fun if we had a draft where each poster had one player that they HAVE to defend and post positively about at all costs throughout the season even if they play at a Maldonado level.
I claim Jake
That means you have to post Saved by the Bell gifs all year.
I'll work on remembering how to do that…

I mainly wanted to pick him because I called him to come back with a vengeance last year so I'd really like to be right just slow delay on the prediction.

But hey, if Baseball doesn't work out for Jake he might have a future in Banana ball. He fits the pretty boy flow hair mold they seem to employ.

Turn a great baseball discussion thread into people trolling always for a player. Starts lots of discussions with people not in on the bit, derailing actual baseball talk. Yeah, great idea.

Trying to manufacture something that occurred naturally as part of the thread is a bit lame. So much great to discuss Astros wise, why create some distracting gimmick?

I don't think it's going to be as big of a deal as you're making it out to be. I think it's going to maybe equate to a few extra posts per day, but in the grand scheme of things, it's not gonna derail anything.

These takes really add to thread instead…

Has it been decided who is starting the season thread this year?
