Los Angeles Angels shortstop Andrew Velazquez makes a diving stop on a grounder by Houston Astros Jose Siri to end the bottom of the second inning on Monday, April 18, 2022 at Minute Maid Park. They have also installed 13 Reliant Charging Stations throughout Minute Maid Park, allowing fans to charge their phones on the go and without being tethered to one spot, which is new for the ballpark. "Right now, pitchers as a whole have an advantage," Astros manager Dusty Baker said, referring to the shortened spring training because of the lockout. "The good thing for them and us is that these are confidence-builders. You build confidence one block at a time, and then hopefully we build a castle at the end." "We are very much looking forward to going home and not having to play in the conditions that we've played in the last couple of days," Mariners manager Scott Servais said. After playing through a torrential downpour Wednesday, the Mariners encountered winds of about 30 mph in the series finale in the Windy City.
Their 2nd youngest regular is Correa at 28 y/o who has only played in 140+ games twice in his career. Their frontline starters are 38 and 39 y/o, with Senga never having pitched in MLB. Their back-of-rotation still has a lot of questions and they will need the depth that prospects provide. People acting like NYM winning the offseason is something new. @fljay73 All signs pointed to that before the Correa signing. Mostly short-term high AAV deals outside of Nimmo and Lindor.
The Astros take the field in…
" night, I was lying in my hotel room and I was looking at old videos when I was in high school," Kelenic said. "And I didn't think about anything. I just got in the box. Today, my goal was to get in the box and just compete against the pitcher." The Mariners snapped a four-game losing streak with a 5-1 victory Thursday afternoon against the host Chicago White Sox as right-hander Logan Gilbert allowed one run, which was unearned, over five innings. Jarred Kelenic, Cal Raleigh and Mitch Haniger homered for Seattle. However, Gonzales (0-1, 9.00 ERA) is scheduled to start the home opener when the Mariners face the Houston Astros on Friday night.
In fact, I have to imagine Mets are looking for a 4th OF type. Boras is not the one issuing the checks so he has no skin in that side of the aisle. More teams should be doing this in regards to raising concerns over a player & their medical issues.
Reds Sign Wil Myers To One-Year Deal
Otherwise, they’ve swapped out Lyles for Gibson at the back end of the rotation and picked up some AAAA/minor league depth who have little impact on the ability of the team to win in 2023. They have not picked up an above average starter for the top half of the rotation, they have not added any high OBP and/or power guys to a below average lineup. But to be fair, both those teams still had more homegrown players than the Mets currently have.

Houston Astros Opening Day 2023
Slick-fielding shortstop Jorge Mateo is already known to have drawn trade interest from teams, but there’s other players who could be available as well. Ramon Urias won a Gold Glove for his work at third base in 2022, but it seems likely the pending arrival of infield prospects like Jordan Westburg and Joey Ortiz could push him out of an everyday role. Otherwise, the Cubs and Red Sox could stand to add to their infield mixes, though Baltimore may be wary of trading with a division rival like Boston. After their jaw-dropping signing of Carlos Correa to play third base, the Mets made another pair of moves last night, shipping James McCann out to the Orioles and adding Danny Mendick on a $1MM deal. Correa’s signing also leaves Brett Baty and Mark Vientos blocked at third base.
Because that means you know it’s game time. ‘Giants ultimately did not return to the negotiating table before Boras felt he needed to restart negotiations with other clubs’. Meaning, Boras did not wait for other clubs to put down offers, and just call Cohen.

Due to all the Schiphol issues, my flights got changed, and I now have only a 1-hour transfer time. Time.is displays exact, official atomic clock time for any time zone in 57 languages. Beneath a brutal crowd in Oakland last week, Javier threw 76 pitches across 3 ⅔ inefficient innings. He allowed two earned runs and hit a batter before Baker yanked him. Javier is still somewhat behind his fellow starters after missing a week of spring training due to contact tracing. Houston Astros catcher Jason Castro is tagged by Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez after he struck out during the second inning of an MLB game at Minute Maid Park, Monday, April 11, 2016, in Houston.
Cohen is unabashedly trying to buy a World Series ring, which rarely works, but he certainly bought a competitor. It’s definitely fun / intriguing to watch Cohen’s spending spree, but when was the last time such a team won the WS? (Serious question. I’m not a voracious consumer of all of baseball). It’s a buyers market right now when it comes to negotiating prices down.
I do see the of truth that this signing has a bit of madness in it. At one point just like the Dodgers the Mets will be stepping back their payroll to reset everything. Let’s see how the contracts of Lindor, Nimmo & Correa age especially after they get past the 5th year of each. (Mediocre bat, only above average glove generally, cheater.) Glad they got out of it; don’t really care why.
The Astros will open Minute Maid Park to a 50 percent capacity in April, and the club said Wednesday that Thursday’s game is “tracking” to be a sellout, which means about 21,700 fans. Masks will be required by fans when not actively eating and drinking, and social distancing efforts will be in place, in addition to other safety measures the team has laid out. HOUSTON -- The jeers and boos the Astros heard on the road in Oakland and Anaheim to begin the season didn’t seem to bother them on the field. Houston ripped through the A’s, outscoring them 35-9 en route to a four-game sweep, before splitting a pair of games with the Angels for a 5-1 start.

Not sure how long you been a baseball fan but I’m old enough to remember the LOL Mets being the worst team money can buy. Saying “literally ” doesn’t take into account how awful the Mets have been ran throughout the Wilpon years. But as said, the airport is a mess and I‘ve seen the baggage arrivals hall full of lost bags and signs announcing severe delays of baggage delivery.
