@BSimm31 @BigCheeseTX @brianmctaggart Amen.

@SanAntonioTim I’m out again for a while. My last retirement from X was about 2 years, I believe. Anyway, good luck and stay safe out there!

@MooJagger @td_nash In addition, Ali’s political and social positions placed him in a completely different class in terms of recognition.

[David Dalati @DavidDalati]

@MooJagger @td_nash That’s really not the measure. As an example, not everyone has access or means to purchase merchandise, but may still recognize and idolize the athlete. From mid-60’s on, my bet is Ali was recognized athlete in the world, despite no social media, and the media of the 80’w forward

[David Dalati @DavidDalati]

@MooJagger @td_nash 20th century. No one comes close Ali.

[David Dalati @DavidDalati]

@DannyDipBuyer @td_nash Your name is Ali.

@Stephen58746948 @KevinEger2 By the way, Altuve was a Purpura signing and Ed Wade was GM when Springer was drafted. Although pretty sure that was dictated by the incoming regime.

[David Dalati @DavidDalati]

@Stephen58746948 @KevinEger2 And no mention of 2 number 1 picks that were awful, yet he got bailed by the rules, getting Bregman. Yes, Luhnow was very good. But under a completely different set of circumstances. And didn’t leave the club in great shape.

[David Dalati @DavidDalati]

@Stephen58746948 @KevinEger2 He sure gets off Scot-free by fans. You’re missing the point and you wanna just gloss over the fact he was in charge during the scandal yet blame subsequent GM’s for what happens in their tenure. Luhnow also never had to work with a real budget since those players were young.

[David Dalati @DavidDalati]

@KevinEger2 @Stephen58746948 Somehow, Luhow gets off scot -free thanks to rosy retrospection. How about these drafts by Luhnow, including being in charge during the scandal, which cost high picks. Luhnow was good, but didn’t have budgets to consider at the time

@TopherT613 @HtownWheelhouse Who’s a free agent after 2027

@Rude_Jenkins @AstrosFuture But you don’t lose either your best bullet still in the chamber. If you lose using your best players, so be it.

@tamuburnerbas @AstrosFuture It was Game 7. Roger Clemens volunteered to pitch in relief in 2005 18-inning playoff and was excellent. It was Game 7.

[David Dalati @DavidDalati]

@Ashitaka1110 @AstrosFuture Agree. But 1/2 of this was in Coke for not making himself available unless it was the start of an inning or whatever the request was. It’s Game 7! You’re ready whenever for whatever!

[David Dalati @DavidDalati]

@briancsalter @AstrosFuture Amen, Amen, Amen. I have said this over and over to those that crown Hinch as a Managerial God. Hinch was very good, but every manager has his bad days.

[David Dalati @DavidDalati]

@shegone03 @MLB @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs Almost 1/4 plate appearances end in a K. 2 players in AL are over ,300. Base running is dreadful most days. Bullpens decide too many games. But, it’s all about launch angle and exit velo. I get the game changes. But the product should improve , not regress.

[David Dalati @DavidDalati]

@SeanTPendergast But, have you seen his swing velo on all those strikeouts? Pretty impressive!

[David Dalati @DavidDalati]

@MissionTrader @ApolloJosh1 Rarely does a team get that much value even for All-Star caliber players. It’s very rare you get equal value back.
