Somehow happy and sad that we won't get to see Springer. Jay's are weaker and it hurts seeing him in another color. But I was looking forward to his deserved ovations.
The thing I most want to see in this series is whether Greinke can put up a really high quality start Sunday. The season depends on him getting back to ace (or near-ace) level and back-to-back 4 IP, 3+ run starts haven't been reassuring.
Hopefully we can tack on another series win. Looking forward to Springer’s video homage and to see/hear his reception.
I don't like anyone getting hurt, but it's a perfect answer. We can welcome him back and appreciate his time here and not have to root against him actively or see him roaming CF in a different uniform.
Sucks Springer isn't able to play in his first return to Houston. He deserves to soak in the ovations that are coming
press conference is real. Speculation is just speculation. Personally I don’t see him retiring unless something has gone really wrong in his rehab - he wants to burnish the HOF credentials. Most likely a general update on his rehab. Could even be some new endorsement. We’ll find out in an hour.
Going to the game tonight, first game back since the cooties, cannot wait to see the Juice Box again!
