Key 9-5A DI game on Thursday night. Massey projections has this one 28-27 Lufkin. I'll be watching this one at Randle Reed. Thoughts

Hard to be a great qb when you are running for your life Spidersal

gonna be shocked if WOS holds HF to 13 points. their lowest point total is twice that because LCM ran the play clock down to 1 every play and HF only had 5 possessions for the game (scored 4 touchdowns).

In other words I think you are not choosing as of yet. Stangs 17-13.

football coaches aren't going to let their football players do workouts for other sports during football season. I'm fairly certain YOU would complain if that was happening. So just because YOU think that football is more important doesn't mean it is to that kid.

The last 2 QB’s were good athletes and were fast, however they were not good QB’s because they passing was so inaccurate They would have been good RB’s or receivers

Take what you got and love with it, but with Alvarez in the 2 hole a high OBP guy hitting lead off would be ideal. If the Astros had a true (traditional) lead off hitter, Pena in the 3 hole would be nice. Create many situations where Pena would see very hittable pitches.

Yes......and not having spring training is a no no. HC/AD has to draw the line. We are talking about 16,17 and 18 year olds. Poor babies can easily do both.

It works. Nolan Ryan warmed up in the outfield with a football

not allowing kids to play other sports is a good way to lose a lot of your best players. At HF Coach Waggoner came in and encouraged (almost demanded) his players to play multiple sports, and it's paid off in spades.

116 K's to just 24 BB's in 447 AB's is certainly not ideal for the leadoff spot. The power and total hits are very good. OBP is .325 along with the batting average of .277. Those are quality numbers. I agree he has had a good season. I just like my leadoff guy to have more BB's and an OBP around .340 or higher. That's just me.

First off your way off topic 🤣 but secondly I can agree with you as far as kid that show up and work their tails off and perform during the summer and spring should play. “THE TALENT IS THERE” I’m speaking on the coaches putting kids in positions to maximize their ability, play calling, not playing the best kids, or having them in the game at the same time. Does that part fall on the on the kids also?

The downside is that you’d lose the preseason hype and the fun of having something to argue about before the games start. 😂😂

Just a Google search since I said I have been wrong before. Not disputing your stats, but I thought he had a good year. Jeremy Peña's 2026 performance as a leadoff batter has been excellent, serving as a highly effective spark plug at the top of the lineup for the Houston Astros. [1] Peña's 2026 Splits as a Leadoff Batter When manager Joe Espada penciled Peña into the #1 spot in the batting order, the shortstop responded with high-level production. In 93 games batting first this season, his leadoff-specific metrics include: [1, 2] Batting Average: .270 Hits: 103 Home Runs: 17 (including multiple leadoff homers) RBIs: 44 Runs Scored: 68 [1, 2] (Note: Overall across all lineup spots in 2026, Peña hit .276 with 22 home runs, 81 runs, and an .802 OPS). [1] How He Compares to Other Leadoff Batters Peña brings a unique blend of power, contact, and improved plate discipline that places him among the upper tier of major league leadoff hitters. Elite Power for a Leadoff Hitter: Hitting 17 home runs purely from the leadoff spot puts him among the more dangerous power threats at the top of a lineup in MLB. His total of 22 home runs on the year matches his career high. [1, 2] Advanced Metric Growth: According to FanGraphs, Peña's metrics have surged over the 2025 and 2026 seasons. He has dramatically improved his ability to hit fastballs, dropping his strikeout rate against four-seamers and elevating his line-drive rate to 35.7%. This approach allows him to consistently set the table for power hitters like Yordan Alvarez trailing behind him. [1, 2, 3] Consistency: He has maintained a highly stable batting average (.270 as a leadoff man, .276 overall), making him a more reliable tone-setter than high-strikeout, low-average modern leadoff profiles. [1, 2] While pure speed-and-on-base leadoff archetypes might draw more walks, Peña’s ability to punish fastballs, hit for power, and limit empty swings has made his 2026 leadoff campaign an unqualified success for Houston
