Houston Astros Open Baseball Tryout

You have to be 30 or younger. I'm out.

You mean, trying to get an upclose look at Texas talent to perhaps find a hidden gem? Yes, so sad.

Wow, that is really sad.

Why is it sad? It's perfect for someone like me.

I was a pitcher in high school and threw in the 80's. My career didn't go further than that, but just last summer I was playing ball with some friends and I slipped on a baseball laying in the grass and landed on my arm. I messed up my arm.

But when the cast was taken off, apparently the tendons healed too tight, and I've come to find out it actually makes my arm act like a "sling shot" when I throw the ball, and now I'm consistently touching over 100.

When the Astros see me at tryouts breaking the catchers hand, they'll love to sign me. I have no doubt I could be the rookie of the year.

Me too...ouch, that stings.

I have to try out. I made a promise to my high school baseball team that I coach, that if they won district Id try out for a major league team. They say I pitch really fast at practice so we'll see. I just hope my kids don't tell my wife about it.

If you really wanna know if you got a heater or not, just pull off the road by one of those speed limit radar signs that display your speed and fire a baseball past it.

Not really. They're pretty common.

Those participants who hit for an average greater than their weight need not show up.

They will spend their career in the minors.

Astros prefer sub Mendoza.

If Correa keeps this shite up, he's going to get demoted.

To hell with the age limit

Well I guess it's now or never for me. I'll still wear a Cubs tee under my Stros jersey.
