I used the tickets from the Astros Buddies club. Kids don't sit in the seats enough to warrant paying for the seat upgrades. Next time the kids will learn the time honored tradition of sneaking down into the lower sections.
For anyone with younger kids, look into the buddies club. Best deal in the city if the kids like the Astros.

Funny, we were talking about that yesterday. The upper deck is fine if they're the only seats I can get for a playoff or something, but it does get a little warm up there in the Summer.

If you don't mind sitting in the outfield, and I don't, that Chevy Silverado level is underrated. It's a smaller section, so lines usually aren't as long for restrooms or concessions, and I think you can just take the escalator down to the main concourse.

The classic movie "The Crippled Masters"! Kind of like our pitchers.

It was from a list of all time 50 worst movies.

A couple weeks into his injury and they just find a fracture in Yordons hand. Our medical staff is an effing joke. Last year they couldn't find a fraction in Tuckers leg, now Yordon. Before it was letting Verlander sit for 4 months before getting TJ surgery. With all the world class doctors in this city, why do the Astros keep working with these dumbass bums?

Well seeing how this was the first spring training with the challenge system it's fairly new….

There's been a couple of ejections when players did that.

Umps don't like being called out.

  • The Umpire's Interpretation: Lentz believed the helmet tap was a challenge to the strike call, which is how the Automated Ball-Strike System (ABS) would be used.

  • Walls's Explanation: Walls stated the tap was unintentional, and he was not trying to challenge the call.

  • The Ejection: Lentz ejected Walls for the perceived challenge.

So only the manager can challenge? How is a player supposed to tell the manager they think something should be challenged? This seems ridiculous unless there is something I am missing.

No. The system in the minor leagues and in spring training the player initiates the ball/strike challenge.

ETA: the ball/strike challenge system has not been implemented in mlb….yet.

So basically tapping your helmet is a clear and public way of telling the umpire you don't agree with the call. Kind of like the old school way of drawing a line where the ball was if you think it was outside….

And it's been told to the players for the regular season it's up to the umpire's discretion if they see someone tapping their helmet they can eject them for "arguing" balls and strikes.

I don't agree with the ejection but everyone in baseball knows it's a potential ejection if you do it.

Or at least they should know it.

This seems like a failure on MLBs part. Ejection is stupid and umpires are ******ed.

It's been well known forever you don't argue balls and strikes. Right or wrong. The way he melted down after doesn't help his cause at all.

And to top it off, statcast shows it was a strike. I don't know how the automated challenge system works compared to statcast, but the plates pretty long, a lot of these breaking balls catch the bottom of the zone.
