r/Astros

Whatever it takes lol

The draft is coming up pretty soon and I would like to know what you guys would want the Astros to pick in the first round? I'm pretty excited cause we have a chance to draft some high talent possible top 100 talent and we also have a comp pick after the 1st round. I would like it if they were to pick Trevor Condon or Brody Bumila

Dewey played 19 seasons for Boston and ended with the second most games played for the franchise. He was always consistently good at getting on base, but he was perhaps best lauded for his fielding due to his cannon of an arm in right field. Dewey’s best year came in the strike shortened 1981 season. He finished the year tied for 1st in homeruns while leading the AL in walks, OPS, and total bases. Despite having more WAR than them, he finished third in MVP voting that year behind Rollie Fingers and Rickey Henderson.

Even though he had a glorious mustache you could see from the nosebleeds, Dewey was never flashy. He was actually quite a shy speaker and mostly dedicated to working on his game. In his post playing career, he and his wife have been dedicated supporters of the organization Neurofibromatosis (NF) Northeast. Tragically, NF has cut short the life of his two sons. 

Despite being an all-time great for Boston, Dewey never managed to make the hall of fame. Some voters cite his lack of any dominant seasons as the reason he never made the cut. Meanwhile, Bill James considers Evans one of the best players snubbed from Cooperstown based on his win shares. Regardless, he was honored by Boston with an induction into the Red Sox Hall of Fame.

We were at the game last night for the 4th of July. We bought our son a coke in the souvenir cup. He left it in the bathroom. When he went back to get it, it was gone.🫤 This was his first Astros game and is heartbroken about the cup. Is there anyway to get one, or a place to find a used one online to replace it? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

Venting here a lil bit about the stadium experience.

It’s been a couple years since I’ve been to an Astros game and this was the first since it became Daikin instead of Minute Maid…were there any changes since that timeline with the food services there?

Went to the TB game tonight 7/4 (thank you Yordaddy 🙏) and by the 6th inning a stand ran out of blooming onions, had to ask for more topping to my Crawford Dog ($13 and hardly anything on it is criminal), and every concession in the 200s at least were closing up and not selling before the end of the 7th inning!! I feel for the workers esp given it’s a holiday that I happened to be blessed to have off from work so there’s that side too.

I get stopping alcohol sales around then but like, food too??…before the 8th inning?!

Anywho, go ‘Stros and thank you for the win over the AL leading Rays! Keep it up plzzzz 😭🙏

Last minute solo decision for me, this will be my 2nd home game and first as a resident. Any places I should check out in the ballpark? I got a great seat front row in 153 so I don't really plan on wondering during the game
