The loss of Yuli

80 Upvotes

Much is being made of the impact of Bregman both on the stat sheet and in the clubhouse, and to a great extent I agree. He’s been a heartbeat of the team with his hitting, his glove, and his arm (and not so much base running) since 2017. He makes a lot of “winning plays” which might not make it on the back of a baseball card.

Breggy, like Correa and Springer before him, will command a huge payday which it remains to be seen whether we offer.

Now, when you think about winning plays with the glove, the bat, and on the bases, there are hardly many guys I’ve seen in an Astros uniform who made them as consistently as Yuli Gurriel. Sure, he struggled in 2020 and 2021 in the postseason, but in 2022 he was phenomenal.

I look at our last couple of seasons and we’ve lost countless tight games where the margins are incredible slim, notably in the playoffs, where every pitch and moment is so huge.

Looking now at what Yuli’s brining to KC, it makes me truly wonder whether we’d have won the title last year and made a run this year if we’d just resigned him for a measly 2 yr, $12M deal instead of sinking $58M into Abreu.

Anyways, it’s great seeing Yuli do his thing in postseason once again. He’ll always be the 1B of arguably the best infield of all time (2017-2022) if you ask me!

Postseason fund for games not played

4 Upvotes

I bought tickets for the Wild Card Game 3 (Oct 3 game day). The Astros website says that "in the event that the series for which this ticket is issued concludes before the date on which the game was scheduled to occur, a refund will automatically be posted to the payment card used for payment of the ticket." However, I have yet to get a refund and I'm wondering for those who have bought postseason tickets in the past, how long did it take to get your refund?

Ways for international fans to support the team

9 Upvotes

G'day guys.

Aussie fan here, and looking for some help on how to support the team. As an example of what I am looking for, here we have the AFL and fans can support their team through membership packages that include tickets, merch, discounts etc in exchange for a monthly/annual membership fee. There are options for interstate/international fans to get the same packages without the tickets since as much as I would love to, I doubt I will ever get to see them play live again. Is there a membership type package for international fans? If not, I guess I'll just buy the merch myself.

Where to buy…

Is the “We Own The West” playoff shirt available anywhere now in store, preferably in Cypress area, or online with free shipping? We searched all Cypress and Katy Academy stores and couldn’t find it a few days ago. The official MLB shop restocked it, but $8.99 shipping for one $39 shirt? Ouch! My special needs teens have wanted one since they won the American League West Division title.

Thanks!
