Loperfido is definitely a name I have to think about, like "is Loperfido the CharleyKerfeld made-up name or is that his real name?"

Public Service Announcement: I'll be rolling out the Astros Bingo 2026 card in 10 days (3-19-26) so everyone has a week after that to get their picks in before Opening Day. If anyone has any category suggestions - real, stupid, or both - please post them or DM me. The more, the merrier.
Number of times the Astros plunk the Mariners
Longest save streak of our closers
Number of players we call up OR how many times do we call up the same player in a season
Number of different roster order/ make up
Number of different Astros starting at 2B/ 1B / LF
My suggestions
~egon
Number of times Diaz calls for and loses an ABS review.
Number of games into the season before someone calls for the hitting coach to be fired.

Insane play by Witt.
Only two guys in the starting lineup were actually born in Mexico. It's like team USA versus team Mexican heritage.

Probably same for most fans wearing green.
Number of times Altuve swings at a pitch that isn't even picked up by the ABS system?
Number of times Diaz strikes out swinging with his eyes closed at a pitch he couldn't reach with a broom?

Minute Maid looks great. Big crowds, beautiful field.
Has Raleigh done anything this WBC?
Maybe he only does good when I'm cheering against him. Ill try that his next bat.
ok Issac for Duran. I'm good

Duran still available for Paredes?
Duran seems like he'd love playing 80+ games per year in Daikin
Love seeing a Mariner get plunked.
Time for some insurance.

Open roof would make it perfect
The reports of Pena's amputated finger seem to get greatly exaggerated.

That's a big hit. Pretty McCullers last surgery was the same and then they found more once they went in.

Good news on Hader.
Josh Hader (biceps) returned to the mound just now, throwing about 15 pitches in the bullpen.

"Speed is there, fastball is there, action is there, synched up. All positives," he said.

Dear Cincinnati, prepare to enjoy Greene's next start on August 15, 2032.
Maybe. On the other hand, Nolan Ryan had the same surgery in September 1975 and led the league in Ks in 1976. Maybe don't use LMJ's surgeon...

Nolan probably performed the surgery himself on his ranch using a cattle brand.

Probably heated up a pocket knife over a campfire (barehanded) and then used a calf gut loop held tight with his teeth for a tournaquet. Had Phil Garner rub a little dirt in it at deer camp to help it heal up properly.
I love that this wbc feud between Raleigh and Arozarena is going to carry into the season…mariners season crumbling before it begins! For the record, I wouldn't have shaken his hand either..in the heat of competition I have no friends
11 pitch 1-2-3 inning for Lance McCullers, who was nearly 95 MPH on the fastball.

McCullers going with more 4-seam than sinker, a change from years before

They'll get over it together with a chicken and rice dinner

I really think they should both request a trade. It's too hostile.
One can go to the Rockies or something and the other should go to Houston (Raleigh).

Probably didn't help that Aroz got hit on the elbow during one of his ABs with Raleigh behind the plate.
