1 out HR today. Half of those names I had never heard of.
It didn't help that I read "R" as "reliever" for 2 minutes.
I was thinking Right Handed.
That was my second guess. Then I read the puzzle title at the top.
Walkoff one out triple
That was tough
That was tough
One out double and was very lucky.
This giveaway is March 29 vs. the Mets. That’s the first weekend of the season.

I still have a soft spot for GLF.
Edit...for the new folks who don't get the reference, this was prior to 2023:

I don't hate it. GLF is still goated.

The Astros will become the first team to unveil a new City Connect uniform for 2025. The design of the uniform will be revealed in March, before the start of the regular season, and the Astros will wear the new alternate uniforms for the first time March 31 against the Giants.

During his address at the team's annual media luncheon, Dana Brown twice spoke about Alex Bregman in the past tense, saying once that the team "lost Bregman."

I don't know about yall but it really feels like 2025 is now a new era of Astros baseball.
Lost Tucker, Bregman, Verlander, Pressly, Altuve playing outfield might happen, new city connects, and a ballpark name change.
That's a lot of change in one offseason

Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

How awkward is it going to be when Bregman's deal with Boston ends up being less than what we offered?
That's how bad he and Boras misplayed all this.

Now here is why I once again say BRING ON THE ROBO UMPS!!!! Ball/strike calling is the last area that umpires can truly impact the game with no accountability and if there is even a tiny chance they are betting on the game that's unacceptable.
BRING THEM ON NOW!!!!

Asked to clarify, Dana Brown said "we're continuing to have internal conversations because he's still available."
— Chandler Rome (@Chandler_Rome) February 4, 2025
Brown said he hasn't spoken to Scott Boras recently. Asked if Jim Crane had, Brown replied "I don't know. Jim has not told me. I'm sure Jim would've told me."
I'm starting to think we may roll with Trammell. He hasn't been given time to really develop in the majors. He was a first-round pick and was MVP in the Futures game a few years ago. I'd be ok with giving him a legit shot until the ASB, then reassess if we need additional OF help. This could be a James Click move.
He has only had 359 PA in the majors 4 seasons. In the minors, he's had 3000+ PAs with an OPS of .813. Plus, he was

Man, I really don't have any high hopes or optimism about him at all.

Still have a lot from '22 in Altuve, Alvarez, Framber, Javier, McCullers, Abreu, Garcia, Brown, Pena, McCormick, Meyers, McCormick, Dubon.
I am not sure you can hit McCormick twice in the same lineup, nor why you would want to?Farmer1906 said:tjack16 said:

Joe Espada said Jose Altuve has been working in left field for the last couple weeks. He is still taking ground balls at second base, too.
— Chandler Rome (@Chandler_Rome) February 4, 2025
"I'm not going to commit to a number of games, but that's something that we are looking at to create some flexibility."
how are injured SPs coming along?
any chance Garcia, McCullers or Javier see the field this year?

So based on ohtani shouldn't his friend be the one punished? Clearly Hoberg did nothing wrong. It was all a rouge friend.
