@tylercstafford Trammell really should be in the lineup everyday. Gives you a reliable lefty bat that gets on base that plays good outfield defense. Would almost rather him over Meyers.

@TopherT613 I think he’s honestly done the best he can do with the budget constraints he has

[Coog Larry @CoogLarry]

@GigemStros22 But you’re complaining about Trammel being in the 4 spot (who’s currently 2-2) which Dana hasn’t been in charge of making the lineup or responsible for injuring all the players that led to this moment.

[Coog Larry @CoogLarry]

@birdboxinglife @HomeTrae64847 Wouldn’t say that. Japanese pitchers historically struggle for a bit coming over. Weiss you’ve spent basically nothing on. This is the same guy who said Blanco should be a starter. Sousa, Okert, Teng, Wesneski have been great for the Stros before injury (not Dana’s Fault)

Dana Brown masterclass on display today

@nnickk22 Because of the huge contracts they’re owed, forcing him to have to bargain bin shop for players.

[Coog Larry @CoogLarry]

Hot take: All constrains considered, there aren’t many trades and pickups that Dana got wrong.

[nick @nnickk22]

For how bad Dana Brown is as a GM he did get the Teng trade right

[Coog Larry @CoogLarry]

@astrosworld34 That’s pretty narrow. There are a lot of those bargain bin pick ups, especially in the bullpen that have kept the club competitive. Underperformance is not his fault.

[Coog Larry @CoogLarry]

Interesting that Hayden Wesneski and Ronel Blanco are starting off on the 15 day IL. I assumed they would immediately start on the 60. Are they further along than everyone thought?

[Coog Larry @CoogLarry]

@CycloneLarry69 @NFL_DovKleiman Hutch is absolutely getting traded

[Coog Larry @CoogLarry]

While not seeing the direct benefits now, this approach will likely pay off big time. Patience will get them getting more pitches they can hit. But it’ll take a bit of time for them to start seeing the zone better. Sucks now, but will payoff huge in the long run.

[Javier Gonzalez @Astros_Coverage]

Para esta temporada los #Astros no trajeron de vuelta a su dupla de hitting coaches de Alex Cintron / Troy Snitker, y quizás la principal razón fue la poca disciplina mostrada en el home plate por el equipo en 2025. La pasada campaña los bateadores de Houston vieron como promedio 3.76 pitcheos por aparición al plato (solo Athletics: 3.75 y Marlins: 3.73 vieron menos en todas las Mayores).
Durante el presente Spring Training -ya con Victor Rodriguez y Anthony Iapoce como encargados- los Astros marchan líderes en bases por bolas recibidas (65), pero al mismo tiempo últimos en hits conectados (47), promedio de slugging (.245) y OPS (586).
Los boletos tampoco es que hayan sido del todo productivos, ya que se ubican penúltimos tanto en carreras anotadas (29) como en impulsadas (28), y su promedio de embasados también está en la segunda mitad de la tabla (OBP: 341, posición 19).
No hay dudas que se comienza a notar el cambio de approach en los bateadores, pero necesitarán más que eso para catalizar esa ofensiva.

[Coog Larry @CoogLarry]

Thank you for the draft pick sir

[Coog Larry @CoogLarry]

@HowToMoneyTruth @JonHeyman More like, if the Astros sign someone nobody wants, everyone should be scared because that pitching lab works crazy voodoo magic on pitchers

[Coog Larry @CoogLarry]

Nah:

Pena SS
Altuve 2B
Yordan DH
Correa 3B
Abreu RF
Walker 1B
Diaz C
Meyers CF
Smith LF

[Coog Larry @CoogLarry]

Really took the time to type this out and think it’d be a hit, huh?

You can still delete this.

[Rodney Angelfield @aaayveeee]

If Davis Mills was black he would have took over at halftime.

[Coog Larry @CoogLarry]

God if Issac gets traded, I feel bad for him man. That dude will have been traded 5 times since 2016 😭

[Coog Larry @CoogLarry]

@AstrosKnower @JeremyBranham That’s 1 minute before Nightengale
