We will inevitably regret not moving Pena
I agree and I don’t understand why that hasn’t been mentioned as an option that would solve the infield logjam. His stock has never been higher. I know Correa has made comments about playing 3B and wanting to be there, but I mean, what else was he going to say?
Peña may go right back to chasing sliders down and away and we’ll be hosed.

All things considered, I’m more optimistic about the team starting this year than I was last year.
I hope you’re right.
But I just don’t see it. Our problem last year was scoring runs, and we’ve done absolutely nothing to improve that, other than assume Yordan stays healthy and also that Pena and Meyers repeat their career seasons from last year. The bench has been gutted. The one guy that has plate discipline, they’re trying to trade. Just not sure how we contend with a below average offense.

Alamo Drafthouse Changing to Flix Brewhouse in 4 Texas Locations

…including the one in Katy that my family and I frequent.
Anyone familiar with this chain and how it compares to Alamo? We really enjoyed Alamo and are disappointed to see it go. Thought the food was a lot better than the other dine in type theaters we’d been to. Plus, they ran a lot of classics and special themed series like their time capsule, movie parties etc.

What in the world is the reason for the 2 week break
NFL
For the next two years their wild card weekend falls on the same timeframe as the CFP champ game, meaning an NFL game on that Monday night. So the champ game got bumped to the following week, meaning pick your poison on whether the break falls between quarters/semis or semis/finals.

You boys need to talk me off the ledge. I haven’t been this pessimistic about a season since the tank years.
The efforts to improve this team are a net zero at best. Obviously a healthy Alvarez is a positive, but they’re done nothing else to improve the hitting and they’ve decimated the bench by letting Dubon, Caratini and Urias go. They have nowhere to put Esock. Altuve is still good but is declining. The outfield bats have no power. None of the young guys are real needle movers IMO. Couple of decent pitching pickups.
I had heard we were in play for Donovan which I thought would have been a great acquisition. He could have played 2B at home with Altuve hiding in LF, then flip flopped on the road. Great plate discipline which is desperately needed. Alas, not only do we not get him but instead our chief division rival does.
They replaced our shitty hitting coaches with a guy whose team last year only scored 16 more total runs than the Astros.
Sleepy Joe is still the manager.
And they promoted from within to replace the head trainer of the worst medical staff in the history of ever.

Next years title game is January 25th
We can thank the NFL. Next year’s Super Bowl is on Feb 14. Meaning conference champ games are on Jan 31, div playoffs Jan 23-24 and Wild card games Jan 16-17-18. CFP title game should be Jan 18, but it won’t be because there will be an NFL wild card game going on that night.

never understood the continued outrage. country artists used to make statements all the time. johnny cash had a whole album about native americans and was against vietnam.
The difference is, at least from what I am aware of, Cash voiced opposition to policies, events, etc without publicly personally bashing the President.
She made it personal. She could have voiced opposition to the war and left it at that. But she had to act like a juvenile and throw the “ashamed” bullshite in there.

How is it arbitrary if the player agrees to it? Doesn’t the CBA say there is no limit to how long it can be deferred?
I thought lowering the AAV was the whole point?
