2023 Season Astros General Discussion Thread

Same one, but this time he is nice about the Astros. So it is good to see he has become a genius - bette late than never. Good for him!

 

Horseshit.

 

Don't you dare disrespect the bi-racial angel

 

Is framber gonna be butt hurt that he didn’t start?

 

I thought he wasn't gonna toss at all?

 

Yeah Baker shut him down. Is he going to be upset about that? I don't think he even bothered going to Seattle. Didn't see any pics posted by the social media team(had Tucker, Alvarez, and Baker).

 

Didn’t know he was shut down. Glad to hear it.

 

From The Chron.....this is what Baker said

"We can’t risk Framber on two or three days’ rest for an exhibition game,” Baker said in Houston before the Astros played Seattle on Sunday. "I know it’s important, but our season is far more important than the All-Star Game. It’s an honor to maybe start, but if he’s pitching on the route he’s in, he’ll have three or four opportunities to start in the future. So right now we got to take care of Framber.”

“He’s probably not happy with it,” Baker said. “But sometimes you’ve got to make tough decisions for the player and the team. He’s just coming off of an injury. If something happened to him again, I couldn’t live with myself.”


What's funny is he was going to shutdown Cole as well because he was on short rest but Cole wanted to start so he's like OK, be my guest lol. OK he didn't say it like that but he did say something like hey it's Cole. If he wants to pitch, he deserves it.

 

Thanks for this, I hadn't seen the second part.

 

I know someone pretty close to Bregman. He said to me a couple months ago that Bregman had mentioned that parenthood was kicking his ass.

 

Whatever. Mine are 10,7, and 1. I am 50. He needs to nut up and hit the damn baseball harder.

 

he has the money to hire 3 day nurses and 3 night nurses…that’s absurd and not sure I buy it

 

LMAOOOOOO, whoa dude calm TF down. what crawled up your butt, scooter!?

 

lol, thats the one

 

Either your sarcasm meter is very broken, or mine is.

 

Never any place to mention race. Period.

The only reason you do is to differentiate him from someone else by his race. That's racism whether you have any negative intention or not.

Bringing up someone's race in a discussion about baseball is unacceptable and unnecessary.

 

So stop mentioning it.
