2019 Houston Astros


Recommended Posts

Time to start a thread for the 2019 Houston Astros, although it is early. Spring Training is a little over a month away, and with the talent and recent success and talent on the roster, anything less than a World Series championship will be considered a bust. Pretty nice knowing that as loaded as the team is, they still have some studs in the minors that may work their way up to the show this season. Spring training dates are as follows:

Feb. 13 - Pitchers and catchers report

Feb. 14 -  First official workout for pitchers and catchers

Feb. 17 - Entire squad reports

Feb. 18 - First official full team workout

I love watching the Yankees lose, especially to my Astros.

That was the first time we got the sweep of Yankees. I know NY has some injuries and won't be the same team later in the season. But I liked seeing the offense get going. Hopefully we can carry it over for this weekend series vs Seattle. Jay Bruce (whom I've always been a big fan of) already has 7 HR in 13 games for the 1st place Mariners.

LETS GO ASTROS!!!

Swept the Mariners. Winning streak was up to 10 games before losing to the A's. Looks like we got it going in the right direction now.

Absolutely. Altuve (2 run hr) and Bregman (solo) homered on consecutive pitches in the 1st inning last night against the Rangers. That alone would have been enough to win the game. Astros won 7-2. Cole going today. Should be fun.

Poor Verlander. Makes one mistake and gets his first loss. Shades of Nolan Ryan.

It's sad when they can't produce any run support for the future hall of Famer. During tonights 11-0 win, they said chirinos was not happy about a missed call on a check swing that allowed that at bat to continue. Is it just me? Are the umps getting worse?

Yea I hope the rookie can stay and take the 5th rotation spot. McHugh got moved back to bullpen. Bregman just hit another HR vs DET. But Altuve's fighting another injury...

Second baseman José Altuve may not begin rehabbing his left hamstring strain until the end of the Detroit series or when the team travels to Boston for a weekend series at Fenway Park, Hinch said. Altuve, the 2017 AL MVP Award winner, was placed on the 10-day Injured List on May 11, and Hinch said Monday there currently isn’t a timeline for his return.

Speaking of, does anyone know why it's now called an injured list, and not the disabled list? Are we that sensitive that we cant refer to people as disabled?

    • I think you’re missing my point- I also believe the prosecution is a mistake, but that’s not the point.    I’m confused that Conservative Christian Right-wing Republican straight white American male family first Trump voters are ignoring the fact that Trump did, in fact, do that awful thing…. But are instead focused on the fact that he’s being accused of covering it up.    There’s obviously no decency or morality in MAGA. But they still believe themselves to be exactly that… the side of decency and morality. It would be funny if the stakes weren’t so high. 
    • Naw people are mad the good ole boy system is getting broken. Didn’t think it would be this fast for the drama to be here. Honeymoon is over. 
    • Here’s the thing. I keep dropping facts on you, and you keep on knee-jerk saying “all lies!” I’ve asked you multiple times to point out whatever I’ve said that is factually wrong…but you can’t.  You might not like the facts, and they might make your eyes sweat a little… but it doesn’t change the fact that they are as true. Heck, deep down inside you might even know that Ol’ CB is right, but you believe Trump isn’t to blame. That, sir, does not turn the truth into a lie. What you should have said was is “that may be true, but I’m giving Trump a pass because…” Not “that’s a lie” when the numbers don’t lie.    But for you and everyone that  believes Trump was good for the economy, I’ll give another of my beloved and informative analogies that might help you finally understand.    A man handles his Family’s finances.  He makes a decision that life could be better, so he’s like “this is our year!” He stops all contributions to retirement accounts (cuts taxes) then proceeds to book a trip to Disney, buys nice things for the family and maxes out all possible lines of credit…. Now they’re facing bankruptcy.  The kids (y’all) are now arguing “things were so much better when  Dad (Trump, also your Daddy) was in charge! We had nice things!” The man set us on a course for ruin with deficit spending, then it accelerated with COVID, then he was such a pig that Biden got elected, and now we’re facing another “anybody but Trump” loss in the November, guaranteeing four more years of nonsense from which we’ll probably never recover. The debt is just insurmountable. We shouldn’t be surprised, either.  Trump has always been a “borrow as much as we can and pray (errrr, hope….not pray. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t do a lot of that) that it all works out” as evidenced by his businesses which have repeatedly bankrupted.
