Spring Training 2026

In Rome’s latest podcast he notes that the team is really impressed with Lambert and will likely add him to the 40-man, if not the 26-man. If they don’t do one of those, he can opt out of his minor league contract at the end of spring training.

I’m thankful for the WBC in that I don’t think I’ve ever paid less attention to spring training before.

Perfect timing! And we’re just one week to opening day.

The first 4 days of the tournament are always such a treat.

Starting lineup for today’s spring breakout game. Great chance to see some of the top prospects.

Maybe we can get the Dojers to bite on a trade for this Alvarez.

Top of the 4th: so far 4 Astro errors = 4 unearned runs. Scored a run without a hit (BB-BB-2bl steal-WP). It’s a clinic of fundamentals.

Babystros had bases loaded with nobody out, quick double play, re-loaded the bases, and left the inning with nada.

Aaand left ‘em loaded again.

You want to trade Alvarez already?

I’m just saying LAs track record on Alvarez related deals is to overpay

Astros offense: 4H, 1XBH, 18BB, 17K, 3-17RISP…walk it off 7-6

EIGHTEEN walks and they still barely eked out the win. Minor league spring training, folks!

Unfortunately that’s the only Alvarez in the Astros system that I’m aware of

Good fucking grief, that’s 22 baserunners in 8+ innings. You’d better win that game or someone gets kicked in the nuts.

My son’s little league team has better stat lines than that.

It’s like the stat line from Nuke LaLoosh’s professional debut.
