Not in a million years anyone here could have guessed that lineup that day.

Altuve continues his villainous ways.



Wait….am I remembering correctly what followed the last time something like this happened???
that girl wanted a picture with Altuve

she was running fast to the infield

(not to mention jumping down over the outfield fence)

Can you imagine a lineup with Maldonado and Abreu?


Imagine? We saw it last year.

whoa, didn't realize the Guardians are 19-9 so far

but the Astros usually hammer Carlos Carrasco -- Tuesday night's starter

he's been in the league since 2009

Spotted the league 10 games.

Time to stop effing around.

We are about to get Javier and Ugridy back … we will have a good 5 man rotation… this will get better fast once they get back

How can both teams dump salaries by trading with each other?


I'm guessing he means trading both higher salary guys who they aren't pleased with. I'm just quoting what he said


I'd rather just cut Abreu. I want no part of paying Benintendi in 2026+ just to save a few bucks this year.

I would too. Benintendi has more upside due to being younger but outside of the second half of 2018 he's been below average

So, where will Loperfido play? CF or 1B?

Derek Fisher RF

Tyler White 1B
Super Jack Mayfield SS
Kempin' aint easy 2B
OG Jake from Rake farm CF
Stubbs C
Corbin Martin

Astros won 9-6. Pressly pitched the 8th and had a season ERA of 0.36. Can we have that guy back?

8:15a, 4/30/24
Brown and Arrigeti need to go, can't get Javier and Ugridy back soon enough, who ever this Arrigeti guy is he sucks, 10+ ERA…. Brown has been nothing special either, will be nice when these two are sent back down to the minors

I'm headed to the Bronx next week for the Tuesday night game vs the Yankees. Any suggestions for food around the stadium? Anything I shouldn't miss at Yankee Stadium?
there is nothing around the stadium. A dirty, crappy McDonalds is about it and a couple of average bars. Be ready to be underwhelmed by yankee stadium. Unless you just want overpriced ballpark food eat before you get on the subway.

Took kids to astros game in Bronx last August. Seeing Yankees stadium is a must but surrounding area is absolutely nothing. They fans are gonna talk **** just be ready
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

Not really food around the stadium but they do have vendors selling cokes and snacks before you walk in and you can take those inside the stadium.

I love the stadium and there's a lot of cool stuff inside. Pretty good concessions options IMO. The concourses are super wide open and I'd just take time to walk around and see all of it. Monument park you have to get a ticket for that separately which I didn't know when I went so I missed out.

Arrigheti had a rough first outing put he's looked improved over his last 2. There have been flashes.

I'd actually like to see him stay and HB sent down when Javier comes back. Hunter just needs to figure his shlt out and get some confidence. Do something.

Loperfido will primarily play in the outfield. At least that's what I was told when he was called up. No truth at all to that other rumor.

The White Sox may have been the only team dumb enough to do that trade. Too bad they can't take that problem off our hands.

Loperfido will have to play first base if Singleton is the player that gets cut
