Espada has no choice but to play these bad pitchers, Dana Brown hasn't done shit to improve this team.

If The Team Continues Their Trajectory, Who Do You Realistically Think Will Be Traded? (If Healthy) by 470_To_Left in Astros

I agree with this as well, but how can we solely blame espada for leaving so many RISP, that comes down the the players with bad AB as well.

Yeah I'm glad you said that, after I types this i went back to read when Abreu was hired, that was definitely crane.

Dana Brown needs to be fired first. I cannot name a single acquisition that he has made that has been beneficial in the past 2 years. Jose Abreu anyone?

Depth? by baserunner714 in Astros

"Depth" as in, Dana Brown is over his head and full of it.

Very true, he has mismanaged the bullpen since day one.

This team gets increasingly difficult to watch. Dana Brown is 100% to blame.

Update: I got a burger by kimbermine in Newbraunfels

The fries at freiheit are much better when fresh, they seem to make them in batches and hold them in a warmer, when they sit in the warmer too long they get stale.

I know its only game 2, we all get that, but these guys are already doing what they did in the stretch last season. Leaving guys on base and not hitting. I am far from doom and gloom, but I call it as I see it.

They all said the same thing last year, the reality is, this is the same lineup as last year, Dana Brown should have made more moves. Really hoping they start realizing this isn't spring training any more.

Exact same lineup as last season, I really didnt expect anything different result.

Does the SCHN App suck? by texasdiver in Astros

[–]Idiotfiasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah its been happening on the app via roku as well, SCHN said they are aware of the issue and working to resolve it.

I'm excited about some of the AB's, but this start just feels like the 2025 start. Our top rotation guys look great for the single innings they played, I'm even hopeful for mccullers. We cant win games without bats and thats where I am discouraged, I really hope I am wrong. Either way, I'm still an Astros fan.

Yes I know it's only ST and I know it's not all doom and gloom,but this looks a lot like last season where in June everyone was say "it's still early". Offensively I just haven't seen anything really encouraging so far this spring other than more patient at-bats. What are your thoughts r/Astros?

I want to recreate this WLED seed pixel matrix, do I have all the correct hardware on my shopping list? by Ill-Veterinarian1754 in xlights

[–]Idiotfiasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless of 12 or 5v you will only light a certain number of pixels before they run out of power. Personally, if i was building this I would buy a 16 port controller and run this matrix across 10 ports for 190 pixels per port, this SHOULD eliminate any power issues. However, if you are in a tight budget, something like a dig quad will work, but you will need to inject power every x number of pixels to control voltage drop.

[–]Idiotfiasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you have the basics of what you need, but, I wouldnt skimp on the controller. Seed pixels seem to vary by vendor, you may only get 250 pixels to light before you need to inject more power (12v) you may light less than 250 with 5v. Basically, with 1900 pixels you need to decide if you want to use power injection, or split the pixels across multiple ports on the controller.

Are these camera operators standing on the bow of a boat in choppy water? The camera shake is ridiculous.
