    [Official] Astros Offseason

    The idea that we can't find playing time in the lineup for a 26 year old who's one of our best hitters is false. And on a club controlled...

    [Official] Astros Offseason

    The bWAR difference is smaller (0.2 vs -0.1). I'm not disagreeing that Walker was a more valuable player in 2025 than Abreu in 2023. Mostly...

    2025 College Football

    Miami was always going to get a spot, they weren't going to keep the ACC out entirely. 9-3 Bama gets in because they're Bama. Is A&M better...

    2025 College Football

    [Official] Astros Offseason

    I'm sure people were saying the same thing about Jose Abreu before 2024. "Look at his production in the 2023 second half and the playoffs, he...

    [Official] Astros Offseason

    You’re being a pedantic asshat. I explained my point but you’d rather “well actually” me than listen. There are lots of players on the roster,...

    [Official] Astros Offseason

    I don’t know that a missed season extends all contracts. Have we ever seen that before in any sport? Like it may extend arbitration or free...

    [Official] Astros Offseason

    I left off Correa and was thinking Yordan and Hader's contracts were one year shorter. But I don't think the end analysis is different. And I...

    [Official] Astros Offseason

    Who's even on this team for the 28 run? The position players are all gone except 37yo Altuve, in his final season, Yainer if he's still here, and...

    [Official] Astros Offseason

    Arrighetti is not a 7/10. He sucked last year and has a bad career era and whip. Lots of potential, sure…

    Newly-Elected Mayor Declares " I am proud to be a socialist"
