No Arenado today. Guess he wasn't willing to take the 30 min bus ride today but he took the 3 and a 1/2 hour on 2 days ago to play NY.

Hard to draw too much from a small sample but…

How about future Astros Brendon Donovan? Perfect fit at 2B now.

I want Arenado pretty bad at this point. Think an Arenado return to at least 2023 gives us our only real shot at winning. That 40% you gave yesterday was just tantalizing enough but also disappointing.

Buster Olney's top 10 at each position finished with these Astros making the list:

DH- Alvarez (2nd)
2B- Altuve (4th)
C- Diaz (5th)
1B- Walker (6th)
3B- Paredes (HM)
SS- Pena (HM)
RP- Hader (HM)

No starter or outfielder mentioned. I think Valdez could have an argument as one of the top 20 starters- 10th in WAR and 6th in ERA.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Career HRs / If he played in HOU
30 / 47

2024 HRs / If he played in HOU
14 / 24

If we assume those were all outs and now HRs, the OPS jumps from .759 to .843!

But assume it doesn't work out as well as that and those hits weren't all at home. Assume 5 extra HRs. It's still .801.

Parades gets his first spring homer. No fly balls yet for any of the outfielders

Paredes is the only real WTF!? Behind Westburg, Muncy, Suarez, Bohm, & Arenado. GTFO!

But he did walk today on four pitches that could have been called strikes.

I thought with SCHN owned partially by the Astros, we'd get *MORE* Spring Training games?

SCHN signed a deal to carry the rodeo this year so I'm guessing more games would overlap with that

Why would that overlap? The rodeo is at night and ST is during the day.

FWIW I think they are carrying quite a few more ST games than years past but it's still not every one.
