    Texans are winning the Super Bowl? :confused:

    It’s the Commissioner’s Trophy, otherwise known as a piece of metal!

    that was more fun! Nice bounce back game. Shake off the cobwebs and grind out some more wins before the break. Start to separate!

    I left for vacation last Saturday and got back yesterday. So, I apologize for the losing streak.

    Since you mentioned Jones...

    Not sure if this was covered in the Sunday Detroit game thread... but this conversation took place between Bagwell and Kalas. In the extra inning game when the player before Castro walked, they were talking about pinch hitting for Castro. Bagwell was in favor of using Brantley. Kalas cited the right handed hitters:

    Kalas - what about Jones?
    Bagwell - nope
    Kalas - Garcia?
    Bagwell - nope

    Refreshing comments from Bagwell.

    Right.... but announcers tend not to. Blum would have probably said no by praising Brantley rather than a matter of fact 'nope'. The fact that Bagwell is a part timer gives him more leeway.

    Paternity leave for multiple games seems pretty lame to me. One game? Ok fine but missing a series when we are down starters already is pretty weak.

    Oh I was joking, he's nothing if not blunt. I also get a kick out of his complete dismissal of launch angle, exit velo, etc... "yeah don't tell me about that"
