Thinking of doing one more road trip with the Astros. Would you choose:

- Seattle
- Detroit


Leaning Seattle because the roof minimizes potential rain outs….

Jankees down 4-1 to the reds in the top of the 8th
No matter what!
Epstein didn't do, you know, the thing...
I'm the rare Astros/Cowboys/Spurs fan. We do exist

If you go in August, that's like the only month out of the year you can hope for clear skies in Seattle. We went last year, and the weather was great. They were complaining about the heat. High was like 87.

There are things to do in Seattle and NW Washington. But you have to deal with drug addicts, possible crazies and riots.

Detroit is kind of a ****hole. But it's probably safer.

Seattle hates the Astros. It's probably a great atmosphere.

Detroit? I can't hate AJ.

Choices. Hard choices.

Detroit's stadium is great. It's not as much of a ****hole anymore as you might think it is.

This is not something that I would have ever thought to hear in my lifetime. Detroit safer than another American city.

Reminds me of people in DFW complaining about humidity

Rank the least safe cities in America that you would really worry walking around after dark. Or even daylight.

In no particular order: Seattle, Portland, SF.

I'm pretty sure Memphis and Baltimore would be waaaay up high on the list of "least safe"

Went to a night game at Comerica about 7 years ago.

Walking to and from the game, you feel unsafe because you can't get the word "Detroit" out of your head.

But at no time did anything happen that actually made me feel unsafe.

Actually a great experience. Highly recommend the Green Dot Stables down by the river. Awesome sliders.

Peña is surprisingly replacing Tucker's production this season, so he should command at least a similar trade offer if he keeps this up thru next year.

I think Cam's ceiling is higher than both of them, and he is young enough to get a deal no other Astro has from Crane.

Detroit has a better stadium and baseball vibe. I've only been to day games there but felt safe.

Seattle has incredibly rude fans and it is fun to mess with them. The guys are no worry but watch out for some of the crazy females. Not much around the stadium but plenty around the wharf and needle.

Detroit. Their stadium at night is a great vibe. Great breweries within walking distance.

Saw this on Facebook. Pretty cool Union Station photo. You can easily envision how the current ballpark sits in this photo.

I wonder if Ranger fans are finally accepting that '23 was the anomaly and not last year or this year. lol
I just posted on the smack thread…. I flipped over to watch their game because I get both in CS…. We get frustrated with lack of hitting…. Thank God I'm not an Arlington fan.
I had a good chuckle recently reading several comments in the Arlington thread stating they'd win the division.

We've got a long way left to go, and they've got a bunch of guys that can still turn it around, but why would anyone count out the Astros after all these years?

the fact that Big Jon is back...means the front office realizes Walker may not return to form in 2025

he's batting .221 vs. fastballs...and slugging just .344...approaching the halfway point

if he can't hit the fastball...he won't see anything besides fastballs



The fact Big Jon is back means Dana knows he needs a lefty bat and Yordan and Melton are a while from returning. Big Jon is the cheapest instant lefty bat out there.

Again, the last 14 days is pretty solid for Walker and he's going to get every chance this year to improve.


I would bet money he's still hurt from the oblique. He doesn't look much like the guy that was solid the last few years. He's been a K guy but he's not able to catch up and he just turned 34. I think they should sit him for a week or whatever and see if this might be it.

Walker turned in 3 straight seasons of +.800 OPS from 2022-24.

Maybe the time for a couple rest days can come during the Rockies series next week.

Saw a report about LMJ playing catch this past weekend and maybe throwing off the mound early this week. Could pitch next Monday, I think, if he's healthy.

Any updates on Garcia, France, or Javier?

Same with Dezenzo and Yordan. Anything of note?

Detroit it is. Booked everything. And I'm a car nut so going to tour the Ford Museum as well.

Thanks for the input.

Javier is inching closer - he threw a live BP last week. I'd be pleasantly surprised if Garcia contributes much this year. Haven't heard anything on France.

I was given a mid-July timeline for Yordan but no word on Zach.

a player at age 34 losing 100 or 150 points off his OPS is not unusual

(that's why guys went to steroids back in the day)

for example...Altuve:

age 32 ---> .921 OPS
age 33 ---> .915 OPS
age 34 ---> .790 OPS
age 35 ---> .754 OPS

father time is not a hitter's friend

Man, if Javier could come back this year, he and LMJ would make perfect tandem start candidates if they'd agree to it.

If both were effective, it be LMJ's spinny ball followed by Javier's invisiball. If both were on, that would be incredibly frustrating as a hitter.

This has been my hope as well. That gives us 3 really good starters per week, which should take some pressure off the bullpen.

As for offense, I'd be good with getting Melton, Yordan, and Dezenzo back. Should give us enough juice to keep winning series.

Have the Astros ever implemented tandem starts at the ML level?

It gets brought all the time but IIRC if it's happened it's just been a couple random ones here and there over the years.

Just not a method I see them implementing.

Well they did do it twice. Both times the same guys. And they swapped the roles each time.

We really enjoyed Slow's BBQ when we went to Detroit. The owner, I believe, is a Texas transplant. The mac and cheese was a delight! It's on the way into downtown.
