Dallas doesn't leave this game in the regular season.

But being spring and having a huge lead, let's chalk it up to our RPs still working on secondary pitches. Sounds good to me!

My in person report..sorry to say the last time I will see the good guys in person for a while.

Keuchel pitched a gem. Both hits were legit, but 6 K's and he sawed off about every batter..the only two good balls hit off of him were the hits.

Tuve's bomb was a liner he fricking crushed. Hard to believe a guy his size can hit like that.

I've watched plenty of Hellickson starts since his Rays days so I will chalk up Correa's performance to facing a junkballer.

It was a nice day, and we left when Neshek came in so we could get some time in at the pool. Fricker allowed more hits than Keuchel in the time it took us to get from our seats to the entrance.

More important questions:

O/U on Carter K's? Set line at 5 and half.
O/U on Villar Errors? Set line at 3.5.

O/U on Astros HRs? Set line at 5.

Root Sports Astros schedule

Haven't read the entire thread, but has anyone heard if there is a possibility of Charter adding Root in Louisiana?

The way I see it if you don't have UVerse or Directv you will probably never have Root. Whoever owns the network will never let it go for cheap and the other providers will not pony up for it. I know for a fact that Cox will probably never have it, which makes me having Cox very unlikely in the future.

Doing some looking at the schedule...

We only have 1 9 game road trip and it's in early June.

We have 4 7 game road trips...3 of which fall in August & September

We head out west 6 times. 2 of these 6 are only for 3 games. The other 4 are part of a 6 game west coast road trip.

There is 1 5 game road trip right at the end of May. 3 @ LAA and 2 @ ARI.

The longest homestand of the year is a 10 game stretch right before the all star break vs CWS, SEA and OAK. We do have 1 9 game homestand and 3 7 game homestands.

I really like the way our schedule sets up. The toughest month once again is going to be September:

7 game road trip vs TEX and CLE
6 game homestand vs CHC & TEX
6 game road trip @ OAK and SEA
6 game homestand vs SEA & LAA
3 on the Road @ LAA

I will contribute $100 for Prom to go with you.

Any other DATers want to contribute to the Ryno-Prom Rodney King Memorial Game?

HUNCH going without white in the lineup tonight. Lulz. These kind of moves are going to get him fired.

Matt Duffy made the club. So it's Wandy or Hoyt for the last spot.

I've got no doubt he's going to start Marwin at 1B on opening day.

Marwin isn't a rookie, he had a nice spring, he's a switch hitter and can go lefty against Tanaka.

Keeping the White man down.
