What I’m seeing at Astros camp: Tatsuya Imai gets nervous, Isaac Paredes’ new normal and a new strength coach for a team that took a "deep dive" into its return to play policy - https://t.co/V6yV4eICos

Good he was one of the worst out there
Is there any way to get behind that paywall, I'd kind of like to read it.

You at least have to see Bad News Bears in Breaking Training because they play at the Astrodome and
Bill Virdon, Cesar Cedeno, Enos Cabell, Ken Forsch, Bob Watson, and JR Richard are all in the movie. .
The lack of stuff around the Astrodome in this scene is staggering.
Bob Watson showing some acting chops with a couple of quality reactions. the Houston crowd 99% rednecks.
Houston was such a different place then. Western roughneck oil town.
The Astros play a game today.

If you listen to what Dana says versus what he got done, they have been playing games all offseason…
Free-agent infielder Ramón Urías in agreement with Cardinals on one-year, $2M contract. Salary of $1.5M in 2026 with $500K buyout on 2027 mutual option. Deal also includes $2M in incentives based on plate appearances.

Nice of the Astros to have their first game of 2026 on my birthday today.
Colton Gordon will start today, with RHP AJ Blubaugh, RHP Cody Bolton, RHP Sam Carlson, LHP Tom Cosgrove, RHP Michael Knorr, RHP Peter Lambert, RHP Alimber Santa, RHP Miguel Ullola and RHP Logan VanWey on the list to pitch. https://t.co/x2wh5ltIey

I really want a guy named Alimber Santa making the team.
Former #Braves Pitching Coach Leo Mazzone: "I know what works and I know what keeps pitchers healthy. And what they're doing now absolutely does not at all levels of baseball."

It feels like starting pitchers have gone the way of most running backs - if you have a good one, just overuse them until they burn out, then dump them and go to the next guy.
Looks like you can watch today's game on MLBTV, so this of us with the t-mobile deal last year should be good today.
Attendance at Grapefruit League games is ... very optional for veteran players who aren't in that day's lineup. Tatsuya Imai, however, is on the first-base line for the national anthem prior to today's game against the Nationals. It is his first MLB game.

It's gonna be great to hear TK, Blum & Julie
Cole made a good choice in trying for third, that was just a great throw
We suck

Took only 3 outs into spring training before the season was declared over

Jeff Bagwell set the franchise HR mark in 2000. He wants Yordan Alvarez to break it, and a healthy Alvarez is a key to Astros returning to playoffs

Nationals pitcher walked the bases loaded with 1 out, Astros got no runs. Fire the hitting coaches
Good Lord Ben Gamel!

So about that left handed bat we need in the outfield...

That would be fun, I miss watching him crush the ball. When he's on his game he is the most fun player to watch.
Saladbar threw out a runner stealing second
Who was that Spring Training guy who balled out every season but never made the lineup? Jack something?
Ullola looks erratic AF right now. Cannot locate any of his pitches
Ullola doing his best LMJ to start the spring, lol.

Mayfield. He did make the team eventually

Causing problems for himself
