Hasn't been good at all but I believe he has a really high spin rate on his fastball. Wonder what the Astros pitching lab could do with him.

Plus the Coors Field effect could inflate those numbers a bit

I couldn't see if the man's jeans were ripped, but YouTube just cut to the crowd with somebody holding a baby. Might check the tape later.

Trump called out MLB on this today so I'm assuming it's related:

Yeah. Trump called him out on it today. Of course he's "reviewing".

I have heard so many takes on both sides of the Pete Rose issue that I can't even say with 100% certainty what are facts. Is Trump's claim accurate about betting only on his team to win?

MLB revenue up from $9B in 2014 to $12.1B in 2024, a 33% growth. D1 College baseball is up as well 31% growth over the same period.

TV viewership could be explained by the RSN cluster. Youth baseball? More kids playing soccer and other sports, and more kids staying home to play video games?

Dying though? I'm not sure about that.

I will give you college baseball, because it was starting from damn near zero before SECN / SECN+ type agreements meant nearly every game was televised. Dramatic increase from before that when it was literally just a handful of game per weekend.

Now do NBA and NFL? Revenue hasn't grown nearly as much as those though.

Chas, Meyers, and Dubon all hitless in Spring Training so far....

Think we need to seriously consider Whitcomb at 2B and Dezenso at RF

If they were all hitting .400 right now, you'd be salivating at the type of season we could have. But come the regular season, they'll be who they are regardless of what they do in their first ten spring training at bats.

Disagree. There were a few question marks.

Altuve in with a flyball pitcher.

Also- no Paredes at 2B yet. I think that means that's getting less and less likely.

Born in the early 90's, so I'm really only familiar with Astros trivia from the late 90's/early 2000's moving forward. So anything involving the 1980's is a grind for me

Which, in Meyers case, is exactly what he's done the first ten spring training at-bats.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Yep, and the commissioner at the time offered him a deal for a one year ban for "betting on baseball", but in his arrogance Rose refused it and insisted he was innocent. The commissioner had to pursue the investigation and Rose wound up with a permanent ban for "betting on his own team"

Epic John Cangelosi action!

Darwin had left the Astros and come back. The guy looked 50 when he was 30. He went to the Sox from 91-94, then Toronto, then the Rangers, then the Pirates before getting back to Houston.
