Sadly true and probably higher hurdles to get over.
I guess it is already a foregone conclusion that Abreu is headed for the door after this season. That feels painful but then every time we lose home-grown stars to free agency, that's how it feels.

Not ideal but appropriately cautious?

Most nearly 2am here but Iβm hanging tough so far.

More than a few of us Texans here. ;-)
They have shown really well so far. Understandably, I am pulling for both sides to win.
In the early 90βs I was known for dragging all the TV βs into the lounge on days when there were conflicting sports schedules.
I am thankful for 70β TVβs, iPads and iPhones.
Yes, there is a few weeks to left and we will see where this goes however the lack of performance sure puts a different spin on the ostensible trade of Paredes.
Also, if Walker does not perform, and Dana is the one that advocated that acquisition, he may be hanging out his shingle on LinkedIn soon.
Have been thinking the same ....
Looking through Walker's previous season's spring training stats. Where there is any amount of reasonable PA's, he has never been less than 250-ish on average.
Is it too early or can I start to be disappointed?
Are we going to sit 20 million on the bench and play someone else @ first?
I still got that cricket bat. Expedited shipping will get it there by midweek.

As far as Walker goes, if they would let him use it I will send him a cricket bat.
Just might help β¦..
Maybe.
Where before each pitcher had to adjust to each individual umpireβs strike zone idiosyncrasies, thatβs mostly out the window now.
It may be that Bacon has always had some fat on one side, or cut thin elsewhere, the zone is well and truly set now. Lots of folks having to adapt.i
Shay Whitcomb went 2 for 4 with 3 RBI as Korea thumped Czechia 11 to 4.

Riley Unroe having some great plate appearances.
Paredes at 1B today it seems.
Walker at DH.

Ostensibly Javier is pitching which should be interesting.
I know it is "practice" and I'll feel a bit less wary once the bats get busy.
Thanks for making me smile!
I sure could use some encouragement.

Trumpβs tariffs are not only unconstitutional, they are a vehicle of corruption.
I hope the in the fullness of time Trump and all those involved have to stand before the courts for this and so much more.

DeVos is quite green yet but his clean sheet and his stats make him worth watching in the future.

I thought that this was relevant and good enough to be posted on the #Astros feed.
