I think I said it already, not positive but Hader will miss most if not all of the season….
Not sure who told him rest was all he needed but this will end in surgery, mark my words.
Not sure how reliable this is but if true it’s the kind of signing that has paid off for the Astros in the past

Astros Future is reliable.
We had a really good International class last year and even better this year .
Meyers carries himself like Bregman……
So the Astros just needed to play Venezuela to get a win. ![]()
SMH. Astros should never play in that again.
On another note, the 17 year old Cuban outfielder I told you guys about when he signed last year is now the #1 prospect in the system.
I think he will play “A” ball this year as an 18 year old.
You make tens of millions playing for your employer and you put them on the line and the hook by getting hurt in extracurricular stuff.
What are the parameters for paying a contract to a player hurt outside MLB play?
Pena will be fine, should be ready for opening day
Astros hitting coaches are on fire ![]()

Fielding a routine grounder.

Normally I wouldn’t worry about a fractured glove finger but this is the Astros. They get their doctors off Reddit and their CT machines off Temu.
Hader’s about to start ramping things up.
……headline next week.
Hader felt “discomfort” and will be shut down and reexamined in Houston.
I can’t believe they went all fall and winter and seemingly had no idea he wouldn’t be ready….
This likely ends in surgery, something that could have been done in September/October.
I would LOVE to be wrong but this is the Astros.
If opening day was tomorrow Bryce Matthews has earned a place on this team….he makes them better.
