    THATS why Maldy can't throw em out when they steal 2nd... DUHHHHHHH!

    Seriously though... I'm surprised its taken them this long to address this-- if you think about it / look at it... the color scheme is very similar, with NOT a lot of contrast (even different colors can blend/mesh together). My theory is/has been: there isn't enough definitive contrast (dark area) vs surrounding hues. Glad they are addressing this. I'm somewhat surprised MLB hasn't enforced min/max "standards" per the "batter's eye" in every ballpark.

    Fun fact:

    As mediocre as Javier has been this year, the Astros are a dominant 19-8 in his 27 starts.

    Is the batter’s eye different this year from previous years?

    if johnnie is still here, sure. fug it. trade diaz.

    if johnnie is gone, diaz needs to be starting every day and bring in a backup catcher.

    Pena needs to be better at reading pitchers. That tag attempt was too close.

    fug that. you don't trade a young catcher with top 3 at his position potential he has.

    Greinke is one of the few "crafty" RHP in baseball history.

    Nice move to first there, among other things.

    Considering everything, the 2019 Astros are maybe a Top 10 non-champion in baseball history.

    Maybe the greatest team in Astros history.

    Game 3 with 3-day JV vs Rays was prob the biggest demise.

    I would rather have Greinke playing catcher for the Astros than Maldonado...
