    It seems like the purists are shaking their heads at the Astros, but yet remain intrigued at what is happening. Correa will add some legitimacy for the media when he comes up.

    Recall them all shaking their heads at Dierker, but he proved everyone wrong. So I don't see the big deal about the Miami hire.

    I disagree, he had great command, but the ump was not calling the low pitch

    At least Dierker had played the game. Jennings never played, coached or managed.

    They were playing getaway "early" games long before Bud.

    I honestly think a lot of players prefer playing early then traveling during a decent hour... rather than playing till late, flying overnight, getting into some other city past 3-4AM, and having to play again that night.

    Well aware of day games being played long before bud. Just venting at the fact that I forgot about the game. Id also rather have games played during the day. It just seems more like a 'baseball thing'. I just got to check the schedule more regularly and often.

    I have been to five games this year and the Astros have lost all five.

    On the most recent homestand I went to the first SF game and McCullers Debut. I'm cursed. No more going to Astros games for me.
