Official 2023 Houston Astros season thread

And last year in the World Series he was clutch, seems like they know something we don’t.

This was my first thought too...

Great crowd tonight. Lots of kids which is always good

Final roster is set with a couple surprises
Korey Lee sent to AAA so he can catch everyday. Diaz and Salazar both make the team as backup catchers. They can both also play left field and first base. Corey Julks makes team as reserve outfielder over Dirden. Seth Martinez and Ronel Blanco get the last two bullpen spots. A lot will change once Altuve and Brantley get back. Looks like Dubon and Hensley will hold down 2nd base for awhile. Feel sure the supposed better defender Dubon will start opening day with ground ball pitcher Valdez on the mound.
LFG!!

Verlander placed on IL with a muscle strain

No McCormick in starting lineup. Alvarez in left, Meyers in center, and Diaz dh. Diaz does have 2 homers and 7 rbi in last two games

Hope I am wrong. But, I have a bad feeling about the Astros this season. For some reason I keep thinking the Blue Jays and the Mariners will have really good seasons. It really is a downer not seeing Yuli with the team.

I think Houston has plenty to run off and hide with it this year. I agree though that we will miss yuli, especially his defense.

Yall realize we upgraded at first right?

Did you watch any of the spring games? We definitely downgraded at defense at first. Hopefully new Cuban’s offense makes it worth it, he’s no spring chicken himself though.

I love Yuli. He was not good on offense or defense last year. Abreu was better on both. Abreu made an error tonight. No big deal. If you don’t believe me, look up the stats

I’m more worried about Pressley shaking his arm after every pitch. That never seems to turn out well. And how in the hell does Hensley not get into that game?

Almost forgot how much I hated the Neris/Montero combo…every single game
