    I assume you're being serious so sorry to hear that. I'm an animal guy. Wife and I fostered/adopted a ton of dogs over the years but now we have nothing but cats, I wasn't a cat guy but they've grown on me the last five years.

    I predict our offense will erupt with a run today.

    @Stephen66 Sorry for your loss. That's a huge bummer.

    Beating a dead horse, but this is where i miss bregman. Seems like he'd raise his damn voice in that clubhouse.

    The Royals for some reason have dominated The Astros the last couple of years.

    Pena hitting lead off. Look for the sliders low and away early and often as our hitting coaches diligently take notes

    Sucks it’s his planting knee. That could be a lengthy recovery

    Or it could he nothing ( just normal getting used to the stress of pitching stuff that most MLBers deal with daily), but the Astros had to find away to activate Ort, knowing they will also need to activate McCullers within the week- Tuesday is his 30th day on rehab.

    Do you really think changing hitting coaches will help Pena lay off low and away sliders? If so, you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about and need to just stop talking.

    Hey, over 35 years Biggio & Altuve never figured it out so Pena still has some time.

    Walker, Diaz, Pena, etc......it's a joke what the team is protecting Yordan with this year. Yordan hasn't been his usual self but it's going to be harder with no protection.

    Those are the ABs that worry me about Walker. Had several very hittable fastballs.
