Calling Mike Fiers a rat is such a bad look for us, to me it says we’re still ruminating over something that’s long passed, that we all should’ve gotten over even before we ran it back in ‘22. It’s a classic diversion to blame it all on the whistle blower.

The fact is, if he had been the one to call out the Red Sox or the Yankees for sign stealing, we’d be calling him a hero. Nobody is proud of the tarnished 2017 season, but I’m so tired of people making this guy the scapegoat. We fucked up, can we please move on? No, this is not Mike’s burner account, I doubt he gives a rat’s ass at this point. Go Astros.

To be honest it’s odd that it isn’t already. I feel like if Jim Crane were around during the Killer B’s era that Wagner’s #13, Oswalt’s #44, & Berkman’s #17 would all be up in the rafters. But because he wasn’t, the organization doesn’t treat those guy’s careers with the reverence they deserve.

One could make the argument that those 3 had more illustrious careers than anyone else up there outside of Biggio, Bagwell, & Nolan Ryan. Personally I don’t think Crane does it, despite Billy now being the franchises 3rd player to get to Cooperstown.

Hi all

I'm one of the few people from the UK who follow baseball. I can see season tickets on the official website but not single games. I'm looking at the Padres game, Saturday 20th April. Do single game tickets go up for sale at some point?

Plus where would you recommended sitting?

Another quick question, the tailgating area. I've never been to one and it's not a thing we do here. We just go to the pub before a game. Can I go without being in a vehicle? Can I buy beer there? Would I be welcome on my own?

Much appreciated for any help.

For the record, I am 110% against it, but if we DO wind up giving in and signing him, I am curious what kind of welcome you die hard fans will give him at the home games?

I'm really really looking forward to getting my Yainer jersey signed. Is there any particular booth or anything that's recommended? I've never been so I don't know what to expect.

Has anyone here gone to one of the Cactus Jack softball classics? I’m curious what’s the best way to get autographs… get there early? will there be signing afterwards? our seats are directly behind the diamond club, so not ideal for signing, so i’d like to be strategic. do people bring signs?

any insight is welcome, thanks!

Boston or Detroit would have to exceed the Astros offer by more the $1M per year just to break even. 6 years for a total of $164M would be the least he should consider if it is about the money. I am just tired of it. Never been a Boras fan, but I am tired of being drug through this by Breggie. I hoped he was different.

I wonder if there really is a "mystery" team. Or just Boras playing games. Also, I'm torn on Bregman. I know he will make our team better. Just not sure how he fits now. Also, I'm bullish on Bregman's performance going forward, as long as he's healthy. I think whomever signs him, will get their monies worth or more.

Anyone traveling to Seattle to watch the Astros on any of the dates April 7th-9th? Looking to meet some fellow Houstonians up there. Also, is there a thread for Astros fans that enjoy traveling for road games?

Gotta be honest here. Originally, I wanted him back, but didn't want to spend too much and when it appeared we moved off him I was ok with that. But, now that the interest and reporting is back leaning our way, I just want them to make it happen. Like, I will be much more disappointed if it doesn't work out now. Anybody else feeling this stress more now than earlier in the offseason? Maybe it's Altuve practically begging and I don't want him disappointed hahaha

So since fubo is merging with hulu do i still have to buy a fubo subscription to watch the astros
