If he gets shelled his next outing, itâs MMâs fault.

I will never begrudge Verlander the money heâs made, and Iâm appreciative for everything he gave the Astros
Heâs earned $70,300,000 for his last 181 innings pitched. Thatâs $388,398 per inning.
Canât remember a more enjoyable April.

Me either. I am super happy that he was an Astro and contributed (greatly) to the Astros success. And, got paid. I am even more happy when the âAstros wayâ of not overpaying works out, extending the period of success. Like with Correa/Pena last year. Like with Verlander/Brown so far this year.
I will add here: As I mentioned a month ago, I do not see Brown as the Verlander replacement. Thatâs too much pressure to put on the rook. I see Framber as the Verlander replacement, Javier as the Framber replacement. And so on. I see Brown as the #5, replacing Urquidy or similar.

In terms of keeping the line moving, whatâs about the consensus about Yainer performance after catching the two-hit SO wt a FELLOW ROOKIE?
I am thrilled JV was an Astro, and I appreciate everything he was and did in Houston. I do not like his leaving or why he left, but I am happy Crane did not get in the bidding war sweepstakes.

The announced crowd for the game between the MLB-best Rays and the defending World Series champion Astros at Tropicana FieldâŚ
Only so much of that can be attributed to a poor ballpark experience. I wonder what attendance will be like after the new ballpark attendance bump wears off.
You also have to consider the actual treacherous event it is to travel to the ballpark.
I think people in covered wagons on the Oregon Trail would laugh at the people brave enough to make that trip.
âWell Iâd love to catch a Rays game but last time we went, we lost half the family to dysenteryâ
The Trop ainât that bad. Itâs old and shall we sayâŚâno frillsâ, but itâs not unsanitary, nor unsafe. The neighborhood around it is great. Itâs just an aggravating drive for those who donât live nearby.

Hope all is ok.
Gee, I thought it was just a 50th birthday thing, but it sounds like it might be something else.
