2026 Astros

[baddog]

Are on right now. Thank God for baseball.

Stros could have won yesterday. Had bases loaded with no outs in the top of the 9th, but it wasn’t meant to be. Playing St. Louis right now. Myers and Peña in the lineup today.

N0 such lucl lost again today 6-5.  Almos came back in 9th but nope.

BTW letting Dubon get away was a game changer for me.

Me too. He could play 7 positions. Wonder why the called 3rd strike to end the game wasn’t challenged. It was a terrible call.

Because it's a spring training game. Most those guys are ready to go play golf or hit a great eating joint. lol

I thought about that, but I have seen some called already. Tough way to lose. It would have at least loaded the bases. Do some players have to earn their name on their jersey? Lol

[rupert3]

It's still a ;ittle too early to judge what is going on so who knows.  We will see

[rupert3]

I know it is only spring training but only 1 win so far with a couple of ties.  Lost again today 4-3 bottom of 9th

Astros player, Biggers….his dad was varsity manager of Nederland Bulldogs baseball back in the 90s.

Have you been looking at the box scores to see who has been playing? Lots of guys playing that will not be playing when the season begins. They are throwing a bunch of pitcher's every game. I've never worried about how we do in spring training.

[rupert3]

Oh I'm now worried about them now I just worry about all Houston teams that tend to fold at the end of the season tradionally lol.

All the players is the only way they can tell who is who they reduce.  I know that.  Wasn't intended to be derogatory in any way.

Jeremy Pena fractures a finger in the world classics grrrr

OPENING DAY!!!!!!

Brown strikes out the side with a walk to Trout. 
 

I love some of the first game stats. 

[rupert3]

LOL can't watch it here.  Supposedly in area blackout

[AggiesAreWe]

3-0 loss.

Well, we can't go 162-0.

[baddog]

Astros lose opener 3-0. 3 hit shutout. 

[rupert3]

I know it's very early but I hope it's not bad sign.  Hunter another pitching gem 9ks no run support.

In honor of the late, great Ken Hoffman (Journalist/Writer/Columnist, Houston Chronicle): Why won’t the Houston Astros serve beer this year at Daikin Park?  Answer: They lost the opener. Like others in this thread, I hope it’s not a sign of what’s to come in 2026.  161 games to go!  Let's Go Astros!
