The Astros might have had a run if they actually opened the roof on a pretty day.

I hope no one had 162-0 on their bingo card...

That wasn't even entertaining.

So…when you play Yordan in left, who plays right? Is Cam your everyday or has Loperfido earned some time there?

Speaking of, Lopes will likely be sitting tomorrow in favor of Matthews.

45 people picked the Astros to win Opening Day on their bingo card.

Only rausr picked them to lose it.

3 outs from rausr taking the lead for at least a month.



I picked them to lose it.

OK, so 161-1.
I don’t get enough credit for the things I manage not to say.

Just watched highlights of the young and rebuilding Cardinals come from behind to win. Down 7-1 and came back to win. Gotta be exciting for STL fans.

I'm sure they're real excited to lose 90+ games this year.

We all get a mulligan, right? I remember reading that in the fine print

Didn't watch or even listen. Too busy with my real gig.

Can't go 0-162 if you don't go 0-1.

Can all of us who got it wrong be allowed to adjust our records if we picked that square

LOL, let's get to the ASB before entertaining that horrific thought.

Panic at the Bingo?

My apologies to JYDog90 who also picked the Opening Day L along with rausr, who are now tied for first. Good news, everyone else is tied for second.

Here's an extremely wide-view screenshot of the carnage of picking the Astros to win Opening Day.

Espada is at the UH game and their offense all of a sudden can't score (24-22 at the half)

Well, I guess the good news for not having a provider that carries Astros games is I won't have to watch many like that one. When I saw the box score I wondered why Hunter didn't make it 5 innings. Decided to check the statcast...Walker swinging a fast bat, and Cam had an 80 mph swing. That's a good sign, I guess.

another troubling trend continuing from last year...

high velocity right-handed starter

the only Astro who got a hit vs. Soriano was Loperfido -- one of the two lone left-handed sticks in the Astros' very heavy right-handed lineup

I'm not in panic mode by any stretch, but I wonder if Cam is an every day player or is he a platoon guy? He struggled mightily against RHP last year. One game is not a trend this year but if in May he's still having big splits, you have to start thinking of maybe a Cole/Cam tandem.

Lots of crazy extrapolations from a single game. I especially like the talk of trends after game one of the season.

It's more like game 163+ of a trend

I listened while making answer keys for a quiz I'm giving today and making the answer keys was more entertaining…hope the Yordan HR-turned-foul ball isn't an omen for the rest of the season.

Astros Bingo Update 3-27-26

EARLY LEAD: Congrats to rausr and JYDog90 for each picking up a square yesterday by picking the team to lose Opening Day. It will be a while until anyone has another chance, unless the team loses 6 in a row, wins 6 in a row, Paredes gets traded, or the team finishes April in first place.

SHAME: On all of you who picked Joey Loperfido to play fewer than 100 games this year. Guy has an OPS of 1.250. He's an All-Star!

THE HUNTED: 9 K and an ERA of 0.00 look good on Hunter Brown. Since the algorithm assumes he's going to play every day, he's currently on pace for 1,458 strikeouts.

SILVER LININGS SCORECARD: The Strangers and the Soy Lattes both lost as well yesterday.

SWEET SWEET FANTASY BABY: Through 2 games, my reverse sabotage strategy is working. I drafted Judge and Raleigh in the first 3 rounds of my Fantasy Baseball draft and they are a combined 0 for 8 with 7 strikeouts so far.

TAKING SATISFACTION IN OTHERS' FAILURES: Seattle's bullpen imploded late last night against the Indians. They led 3-2 into the 6th inning and lost 6-4. The Rangers' offense looked as bad as ours until they scored 3 in the ninth. They had 3 hits and 10 K vs. the Phillies' starter in a 5-3 loss.

BINGO

Dana failed to address this again. Sure, we couldn't afford Tucker or Belli, but there were options.

  • Ryan O'Hearn - 2/29 M
  • Mike Yastremski - 2/23 M
  • Cedric Mullins - 1/7.5 M
