Happy Opening Day gentlemen

1 inning into the season and an ump already screwed up

that's where the astros season turned.

Not even a full inning. He was safe

Lol

 

[YankeeVol]

Hell of a trap there

 

[Fleetwood1104]

Looks like it

So the Astros #5 starter just came out of the pen in the sixth. Intrigued by this.

 

[Weezy]

The tandem system that they are talking about for the Astros minor league teams sounds smart to me.

 

[005]

Could work at the major league level, too. Roster construction changing is far from the worst thing in the world.

Matt Dominguez defense is gonna be a breath of fresh air compared to Chris Johnson at the hot corner.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Maxwell might could have turned that into an inside the park homerun

 

[005]

2nd dude in the last 60 years with multiple triples on opening day. Haha.

 

[005]

First save of the year gonna come from the Astros' #5 starter? Okay.

thats about as odd as having the Astros on opening night

how does a 6 run win count for a save, thought it was like 2 or 3 run lead max

He pitched three innings. A reliever that pitches three innings to finish a game gets a save.

I'm still torn about Houston moving to the AL

I don't like it simply because I grew up 4 hours from Chicago and 4.5 hours from St. Louis. I'm going to miss the rivalry with the Cubs and Cardinals. I absolutely despise both teams but that's what made it so much fun playing them. Plus, a lot of friends are fans of them so we could watch games together or talk about the Central Division.

It is what it is though. I only have one team in every sport so I'll stick by em. I mean, I stuck by em after the past two seasons, how much worse can it get? Another season of being dead last? A payroll lower than what A-Rod makes in a season? Psssh... ain't no thang.

ahh never knew that part of the rule. so technically in a fantasy league having astros pitchers for the first couple of months could get you extra wins and saves, assuming they actually won a few games.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Agreed! Welcome back baseball!

Play ball!

I'm going to the Rangers home opener Friday. 1 o'clock game against the Angels. My buddy is having a big tailgate with a keg. Early day drinking. Good times.

 

[TXA&M07]

Johnny Football is throwing out the first pitch Vader. Just FYI

 

[005]

hopefully he brings joeckel with him or he won't get it off in time amirite

 

[TXA&M07]

Pretty certain his name could easily be Johnny Baseball had he chose that route.

 

[005]

Really? Not knocking him just didn't know if he was a prospect in HS.
