I don’t think this team is any better than last year on paper and can see us ending with a similar record, but it’s nice to not be in the same kind of hole

I always felt over the past few years the Av’s have great talent in players, but the team as whole has been too soft. I think Kadri made a huge difference in 2022 to bring some grit to the team.
Thought Nelson was a pretty big acquisition to bring in some of that grit
Going to be an intense last half of the period

Walker home run to tie it
2 scoreless innings of relief from Scott
Truly doing things their own way

Abreu you could tell was a physical/age issue where he couldn’t catch up and started cheating to make up for it which created other issues
This is very mental where he’s chasing a ton because he’s pressing. Hopefully this sparks it for him
You are spot on about them rushing him back though

Brutal that Pena is hitting cleanup now. We’re also incapable of running the contact play correctly anymore. Happened a bunch of times last year too

He was also like 92-95 today which I don’t think is normal but was very surprising

I watched Sasaki for the first time this afternoon (aside from highlights) and was pretty underwhelmed honestly. Tons of potential but man is he raw and they absolutely rip his fastball. Also looked like he was clearly tipping pitches at times
Yamamoto is obviously incredible

Not sure why the current age is relevant at all to the question you asked

I remember watching the walk off I posted as a kid so vividly. Players almost never watched a home run like that back then and I thought it was cool as hell

Why do you keep getting to start threads?

We continue to do things our own way with another firebrand outfielder
Few blazed their own path like the immortal Derek Bell
Few blazed their own path like the immortal Derek Bell
quote:
On July 15, 1999, the day Astros manager Larry Dierker returned to managerial duties after brain surgery, Bell complained because he was batting sixth, not second. This soured Bell’s relationship with the club and the fans and was a contributing factor in his eventual trade to the New York Mets at the end of the season. Bell claimed the whole situation was misunderstood. “I’m a team player, and I felt that I couldn’t hit-and-run and do the things I’m capable of doing from the six slot,” he said. “That’s the only thing I was upset about. Is that selfish? I want to win so badly. The only way I thought we could do that was with me batting second, making things go.
quote:
Rather than compete for a spot on the roster and prove that he deserved it, this man who slashed .173/.287/.288 the year before basically told the front office to pencil him in as the starter, or he was quite literally shutting it down.
“Ask Littlefield and ask Mac if I’m in competition. If it ain’t settled with me out there, then they can trade me. I ain’t going out there to hurt myself in spring training battling for a job. If it is [a competition], then I’m going into ‘Operation Shutdown,’” Bell told Dvorchak when he first heard about the competition. It earned an incredulous laugh from Rapp.
quote:
Former outfielder Derek Bell was charged with felony cocaine possession, police said Thursday.
Bell, 37, was pulled over for a traffic violation, Tampa police
said.
"He was found with a crack pipe in the back seat of his car
which was still warm," police spokesman Larry McKinnon said.

He's alternated really good and bad/mediocre years here for a bit it seems. I wouldn't be surprised if he has an awesome season, also not sure if it will matter

Maldy popup with two on and two out. This might be the elixir we needed
