Hook'em Posted February 21, 2018 Report Posted February 21, 2018 Coming off their first World Series title, the Stros look to be even stronger than last year. Gonna be a fun season to watch. First spring training game is this Friday vs. Washington. Forrest Whitley starts the season on a 50 game suspension. Quote
baddog Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 Got tickets for opening weekend, April 7, my birthday vs. the Padres. Section 128, row 30, seats 1 & 2. Staying at Hampton Inn right across the street from Minute Maid, Friday and Saturday night. Would like to see Verlander pitch but he pitches opening day on Tuesday before. Not a problem. Might get McCullers. LumRaiderFan 1 Quote

Hook'em Posted March 17, 2018 Author Report Posted March 17, 2018 Astros extend Jose Altuve for 5 years/150 million. I like that it is only 5 years compared to 8 or 10 so that he will be under 35 for the duration of the deal. Quote
Hook'em Posted March 27, 2018 Author Report Posted March 27, 2018 Verlander on the bump as the Astros start their title defense in Arlington Thursday afternoon. Gonna be another fun year of baseball. Kyle Tucker was phenomenal in spring training, I wonder if he will be called up at some point. Quote

If they call him up before then he gets credit with a year of service and can be free agent eligible one year earlier. I would imagine they wait and call him up after that date to have control over him for an extra year. Hook'em 1 Quote

PhatMack19 Posted March 29, 2018 Report Posted March 29, 2018 It’s Opening Day! The 2:30 start on the road for the Champs is pretty brutal. I’m trying to clear my schedule now. Quote
PhatMack19 Posted March 29, 2018 Report Posted March 29, 2018 Springer Dinger to start the season for the 2nd year in a row! Quote
Hook'em Posted March 30, 2018 Author Report Posted March 30, 2018 I was out at the Houston Open but kept up with the score. Seemed like they picked up right where they left off. Quote
baddog Posted April 1, 2018 Report Posted April 1, 2018 Altuve and Correa destroyed the Rangers with 4 hits apiece. Throw in another Marisnick homer and McCann's speed on the base paths, Gonzales' double off the wall, Springer's double, a sac fly, Astros score 9. McCullers pitched a gem. All this adds up to a huge win against a division opponent. Keep it up guys. Quote
baddog Posted April 1, 2018 Report Posted April 1, 2018 Cole with a fantastic outing. Besides the one mistake for a HR, he pitched a 2 hitter in his first start as an Astro. Quote
baddog Posted April 1, 2018 Report Posted April 1, 2018 I'll take 3 of 4 from the Rangers any day. Not a weak spot in that Astros lineup. Quote
PhatMack19 Posted April 3, 2018 Report Posted April 3, 2018 There are 29 teams who would kill to have Cole as the #4 starter, and there are 29 teams who would kill to have Morton as the #5 starter. This rotation might be better than the offense. Quote
PhatMack19 Posted April 4, 2018 Report Posted April 4, 2018 Reddick Robbed a 3 run bomb, hit 2 run HR, then hit a grand slam. Decent night at the park Quote

baddog Posted April 4, 2018 Report Posted April 4, 2018 I will get to see Cole pitch Saturday. Can't wait. Quote
PhatMack19 Posted April 5, 2018 Report Posted April 5, 2018 Former Nederland catcher class of ‘97 getting his World Series Ring. Congrats Seth! Quote
baddog Posted April 6, 2018 Report Posted April 6, 2018 I'll be at the game tomorrow, y'all look for me. I'll be the one wearing a World Series cap. Quote
baddog Posted April 6, 2018 Report Posted April 6, 2018 Crowd outside the stadium is unreal. I'll feel like a sardine tomorrow. Quote
navydawg31 Posted April 7, 2018 Report Posted April 7, 2018 I’ll be at the game tonight. It’s going to be a wild atmosphere Quote
baddog Posted April 7, 2018 Report Posted April 7, 2018 People camped outside the stadium wanting first shot at the replica rings. I want nothing that bad. Quote
