Some kind of argument in a mall parking lot, some reports said he pushed her others said he grabbed her as she was trying to get away and she fell down. The team came to his defense and said he did counseling blah blah obviously now it looks much worse in hindsight.

At the LAFC game apparently, which makes you wonder how much was happening behind closed doors if he’s been caught twice now in public.

Lol, anyone who said Brantley would save the Astros has not watched any Astros games in at least 3 months. He's been on fire since he came back, but oops, starters are still mediocre and offense isn't a reliable way to win games (as the Rangers are also finding out). Seriously look at this ERA+ drop off from last year:

JV 220 -> 112
Framber 137 -> 126
Urquidy 98 -> 77
Javier 152 -> 92

Luis Garcia and LMJ both out for the year with arm injuries. JP France has been this year's Hunter Brown, but unfortunately Hunter Brown is this year's Jake Odorizzi. Given that it's baseball, I can't definitively say this team won't accomplish poo poo this year, but it's looking like they'll need a lot of luck.

They got a couple other kids - Pepiot and Sheehan - and Buehler can give us a couple innings hopefully. But yeah, it’s thin.

I love Julio but this poo poo reeks and they need to cut him.

He's still tied for most wins in the MLB, which is how you get those old-rear end baseball writers to vote for you.

Was very surprised they spent money on Jose Abreu over the offseason instead of, say, throwing 2/48 at Eovaldi.

It's very familiar to see the Astros have a poor off-season with lots of obvious missteps, like an old friend coming back after being gone for about 9 years.
