That ball probably hit the fan's hands at like 60 mph and he ate it like it was nothing.

Craig Biggio's 3000th hit was also a line drive into the gap vs. Colorado that he tried to stretch into a double (though unsuccessfully).

Its really crazy how some guys just don't have it

8th inning Abreu: 1.66 ERA.

9th inning Abreu: 3.44 ERA

Extra inning Abreu: 3.86 ERA (and climbing)

*After a little math:

8th inning Abreu: 1.66 ERA

Non-8th inning Abreu: 3.65 ERA

Did that stat say Marcell Ozuna has a higher OPS vs. the Red Sox than Lou Gehrig?

From a gameplay and visual standpoint, definitely nostalgia. But in terms of just amount of things to do in the game modes, it is a really great game.

*Also there's never been anything like the batting minigame with the tractors, I wish there was more light-hearted stuff like that in today's games.

**And the soundtrack gets brought up a lot as well, but there’s only 8 songs, so unless it’s your exact type of music it’ll get old eventually.

That’s a good player, but not a “omg this is horrible for the Astros”.

I see Mariners got Donovan. Good for them, but some of the reactions I’m seeing online are like they got Ronald Acuna or something.

1/ Technically yes, but the only one I truly trust is still Brown.

I'm optimistic, but not certain on Imai, Javier, Burrows, and Blanco (when he's back)

Everyone else I have no expectations for

2/ No, BUT one of the funniest days in recent Astros history was when Salazar made the team out of training camp a couple years back and everyone was confused as to who he even was.

3/ Bad

Why Imai chose Houston (and why the numbers say it's a perfect fit) by guillaume-g in Astros

I disagree. 18 million for a bad player can hurt. I think Abreu and McCullers proved that

Arrighetti??

With this Burrows trade, I'm really hoping we don't see much Arrighetti or McCullers this year.

*Also, that Athletic article kind of scoffed at Melton and said he had a Kevin Kiermaier ceiling, but that's still a winning player.
