If you want to trade Yordan because he's not on the field enough, why do you expect a return worth moving him for?

How about to the Pirates for Skenes and Konnor Griffin

We could be one of the most improved teams in MLB simply be being healthier.

Meh. I don't disagree with the lack of improvement in the roster. We lost a 1A pitcher and gained a couple of 2/3's. Position wise, we didn't resign a backup catcher and traded an OF platoon/backup for an even iffier platoon/backup OFer. We haven't eliminated the INF logjam.

Frankly I'm shocked there were clubs listed way more than us b

I've seen that headline 6 years in a row now.

I guess we'll see.

Yainer's challenge chart is just a big X with the word "Don't" on it.

So what I am understanding is that 76% of the time you should go for it on 4th Down on a 3-2 count inside the Red Zone with bases loaded.

And if you succeed on the challenge you should go for 2.

Tucker-adjacent deal with the Cam Smith role being filled by young pitcher.

I envision Framber using both challenges in the first at-bat of game and them both being wrong.

Sort of like this scene from the Dungeons & Dragons movie where they got 5 questions to ask the dead guy.

Pitch 1 of the game will be a ball. Framber will challenge and lose.

He will throw the second pitch at the umpire's head. He will then challenge that one as well if he hasn't already been ejected.

By the way, can you imagine if ABS was around in the Maddux glory days and you could challenge every pitch called half a foot off of the plate?

On the other hand, I can imagine Greinke inventing a new pitch on the fly, challenging the call when he doesn't get it, and having the ABS system come back without an answer because it is confused by what he just threw.

O/U on strike length? 5 months is where I'm setting the initial line.

If 2027 is already DOA, then I'd love for SCN to take the 2017 (or 2022) season and air replays of that seasons games each night as if it was the normal schedule. I know my wife and I would watch it all over as if it was the regular season.

Hard to argue with this. The Astros are now in that group of teams where pretty much everything must go right. And that's ok.

Enjoy it all season, because the next team (2028) might be vastly different.

ABS would have put a whole new spin on those old Astros Braves battles. Maddux, Glavine, and Smoltz constantly got those balls way outside called as strikes.

Both of them lost seasons to injuries and lost 100 games to COVID.

It's going to cost Altuve 3000 hits. It's almost surely costing JV a shot at 300 wins.

Cancelled Fubo last week and will be going with SCHN's direct to consumer app this season.

I know when it originally came out, it wasn't available in the app stores on smart tv's. Is this still the case?

FYI, the Sandlot cast was brought onto court at halftime of a recent Aggie men's basketball game. I have no idea why they were there, though.
