Astros face a pitcher with a 5.47 ERA. We can talk about Yuli and Bregman, but we won't. Until they do this against more than junior varsity competition, they remain fools gold.

Let's see how it plays out.


But really in honor of his 8th All Star selection, this opening is all about FCU's man crush. Yeah, I said it. I'm all about short hotties.




ETA: sorry about the incorrect time.

I agree about Yuli, but Bregman seemed to be moving things in the right direction before last night.

Looks like a loss.

I’ll start the thread for Sunday’s game tomorrow morning.

Hey, TK,



This has been building up for awhile.

Bregman is fine. Surprisingly, what's dragging down his numbers is the fact he's been Maldy-level against lefties.

Well-built for a short guy.

He's one of the worst TV pxp guys in MLB. Our radio guys, although not with the traditional "voices" for broadcasting, are so much better. Blum is really good and he'd be better with a less cheesy partner.

I’ve really grown to like Blum. Kalas seems like a good guy but agree he could be much better. I will say if you watch MLB TV there are some REALLY bad broadcast folks on regional MLB teams

Also some really good ones that are better than what we have

This is true. Looking at you, Arlington. Kalas is definitely not the worst. The other AL West broadcast teams are really good.

I'd love to have Ford with Blum and do the old school thing where you bring in Sparks to do middle innings. I liked getting both Brownie and Milo during games back in the day.

The A’s main broadcast crew is really good, I don’t love Braden

Ashby and Blum was the pinnacle for me. Blum trying to decipher the intruiging observations inning by inning was something to behold and witness.

In a perfect world I could simulcast Ford and Sparky over the ATT feed, and save the dough I shell out for MLB.COM because Kalas absolutely sucks. The worst in MLB.
