Only 6 games out, same as Tampa Bay
I’ll accept arguments from Chirinos/Maldonado in 2019 but that wasn’t a full season.

This is by far the best hitting catching tandem the Astros have had in recent memory.

Focus on winning each series, getting to .500 and go from there.

Yeah I don’t care how many games out they are while still being below .500. Could be 1 game or 50 and it doesn’t matter to me. Just win games and get back on the right side of the record

Both of these guys are good enough defensively to where there isn’t a noticeable difference from Maldy. And I’m a defense first if he’s great defensively and hits once a week we’ll work with it kind of guy. But obviously both of these guys are tremendous offensive players.
And, yeah, I didn’t know shit about Caratini before. I’m learning some things.

I can’t believe how wired I am after a late April game.
Plenty of teams have something left to say this early in the season. I hope the Astros are one of them even though I have some doubts. The only thing keeping this season going is that they aren’t already buried under a 12 game deficit.
Fish tacos
Talking about games out in April is meaningless, talking about games out when 9 games under .500 is meaningless. Just win games and don’t worry about any other teams.
Apparently it’s because of tacos

Here’s the walkoff:
Hard to complain about a a walkoff win.
But fucking Christ, take your 5 innings from Brown and be happy. don’t trot him out there to give up most of the lead in the 6th then go to the pen.

I don’t mind trying to get another inning from Brown but it’s gotta be batter to batter at that point. Start the inning with somebody getting ready

Caratini is awesome.
ETA Caratini fucking smoked that ball. A laser beam to win it.
It was a proper bat-flip too

We don’t get to see some very often, but when Big John gets a hold of one, he might just have the best instantaneous homerun swing to bat flip in the game.
