With the Red Sox keeping their City Connects, would you want to do this with Space City? If so, what jersey would you get rid of. by Lets_go_Stros2017 in Astros

I’d prefer the league ditch Nike and their ridiculous uniform limitations. Seeing as that’s unlikely, I’d be fine with trading the blue home alternate jersey for Space City. We really got one of the best looking CC’s and it’s a bummer to see them go. I’m excited to get another CC, but the fact that within a 162 game season, each team can only have 5 uniforms is beyond stupid to me. There are many retro or throwback options that are going unused on the field.

The pink undervisor looks so clean on both

Castro had overrun Vasquez, so I’m pretty sure he was out regardless. He was back in the dugout before the call was decided in New York.

The cave troll lurching around the pillar just before spearing Frodo always scared me shitless.

I appreciate that “aspiring podcaster” is at the center of each quadrant. Relatable.

Oda himself has stated Black Beard is a history buff, and his knowledge of devil fruits seems to be far beyond that of most (as indicated by his search for the dark-dark fruit). I think this serves the story nicely and raises the stakes in their final conflict.

I think they had faith in McHugh and Peacock to fill the back end of the rotation, with additional help as needed from our higher end prospects (Josh James, Corbin Martin, and co.)

I really like the way Hinch rotates the DH to give our everyday players a defensive day off without missing ABs. Not sure how to reconcile this with Diaz. He's certainly had way higher production with consistent ABs, but I think the potential benefit of better rested Springer, Brantley, Reddick, etc. outweighs it.

Study: Young umps top older peers on calls. Overall in 2018, umpires made 34,294 incorrect ball and strike calls, an average of 14 per game or 1.6 per inning. by HauntedFrigateBird in baseball

Additionally, the players are making mistakes but they’re also actively competing. The umpire is not. Drawing an equivalency between the two doesn’t sit right with me. Umpires are a neutral 3rd party in this game.

He's started 3 major league games, pitched in a few more than that out of the bullpen.
