Soooooo the 450 ft homer from JP on Tuesday..... means hes not healthy?

Have not seen anything from Astros about "lingering finger discomfort"

Edit: From Chandler Rome--seems it's not bad enough to warrant starting the season on the 10-day IL, but they did not feel he was ready for a Major League game today.

Any idea what color jersey they wearing today?

Espada never fails to mystify

expecting big things from Loperfido apparently

and the WBC officially costs Pena and the Astros a game

He's our only other left-handed bat and we're facing a righty. Why wouldn't he start?

So we've had the narrative of "they doubted us and we proved them wrong again" … but now everybody is actually doubting us so let's see how we do

I don't think the Daikin park bathrooms could accommodate that many people pounding 9 full beers and 9 full hot dogs

We're good. I was on the browser both on mobile and laptop, disastrous. App was way easier!

Fantastic start to the season! The real reason we missed the playoffs last year - Dubon was bad in the HEB commercials.

This hat Jose is wearing is nice!

Prop bet of the day.

Who is the first Astros player to win an ABS challenge and in what inning?

Who is the first Astros player to lose an ABS challenge and in what inning?


Win: Diaz in T2.

Lose: Altuve in B1. It's his batting version of a tootblan.

---

Win: Paredes in B1

Lose: Walker may lose both of them. Dude has no idea of the strike zone

No Peña? He hit one out of the stadium 36 hours ago...

You're in!

I guess Pena's goal of playing 162 regular season games is most likely not going to happen.

Scheduled rest day. It worked so well last year that JP, Tuve, Yordan, and Carlos are each only going to play twice a month to make sure they are rested for the playoffs

Judge is in postseason form.

Sunday: I draft Aaron Judge in fantasy draft
Wednesday: Instant golden sombrero

---

Quick, trade for J-Rod if you haven't already drafted him!

---

I did you one better, I drafted Cal Raleigh too

---

Even better!

I decided to just pause my YTTV subscription and re-activate Fubo. The cost is pretty much a wash.

It actually saved him several games. I had it on good authority that he would have torn his ACL if he stayed in Astros camp.

Fire the entire medical staff
