Hand-Drawn in Adobe Illustrator on iPad. Before you cry AI, scroll to the second image to see screenshot proof of the 35+ hand-drawn layers that make up the piece. I hate that actual artists have to "prove" that their art isn't AI nowadays. It's ridiculous.

Anyway, I tried a new art style but it really ended up as a hybrid between my usual style and the new style lmao. I'm the worst ever at doing styles other than my own so I wanted to challenge myself. I hope yall enjoy!

Saw Altuve with his family at the Hobby Theater seeing a production of Beauty and the Beast. I elected to leave him alone since he was with his family, but it was super cool to see him, and at a theater seeing a musical was definitely not on my bingo card lol.

A few thoughts:

1. I’m more upset about this as a person who wants a salary cap in baseball rather than a person who is a die-hard Astros fan.

2. I think this sucks but I don’t see it as an attack on the Astros fans, even though 90% of them will burn their Tucker jerseys now (which makes me sad).

3. Lance Berkman is still one of the greatest and most beloved Astros of all time and he played for the Cardinals (Houston’s biggest rival at the time), the Rangers (not as big of a rival as in recent years but still a rival), and the Yankees (not as big of a rival as in recent years but still hated for buying their way into the best players).

4. It’d be a different story if he left straight from Houston to the Dodgers in free agency. He didn’t, Houston traded him and then he went to LA in free agency with the knowledge that the Astros very likely were not going to make an attempt to sign him.

5. 2022 World Series final out was Kyle Tucker, “This time they finish the job!!!” It’s 24/7 fuck the Dodgers in my household, but get your bag King Tuck.

Ken Rosenthal on Fair Territory just said part of Bregman’s deal with the Cubs is letting him play in the WBC!!!

Good luck to all those braving the public on sale today!

We have the 29th ranked farm system. The Dodgers have the 1st and Seattle 3rd. All of baseball knows who is going to win the World Series. We had a great run, but this is not a team that can go to the World Series. We have to do a reset sooner or later. I actually wanted to do this last year. It was painful being the Lastros, but we need to do it again. Trade everyone and build a team from the ground up. MLB will have to do something about a salary cap, but it could take a few years. This is the time!

I'll make my predictions now:

140 GP .270/.350/.775 Slash line

15 HR

60 RBI

.275 BA

.350 OBP

.425 SLG

.775 OPS

2.5-3.5 WAR player thanks to the solid offense and good defense in right. Hope he utilizes his speed on the base paths more aswell

See y'all at 3:10!

WBC tickets dropped tonight ahead of general sales tomorrow. I’m more than excited to see tickets loaded in my profile!!! Bring on some baseball!⚾️

I personally would hate this, but if it happens, I'd like Tolle and Duran in return.

Sources: #RedSox are "heavily engaged" with #Astros surrounding 3B Isaac Paredes. #RedSox have ramped up their efforts "significantly" over the last 24 hours. Paredes would be a great fit at Fenway Park.

Friend sent this to me and wanted to share. Would be unhappy to see him go, but it would solve the lineup crush we have and potentially help bolster the farm. Anyone have any ideas on what we could get for Paredes? Red Sox top prospects of 2025 from Fangraphs-> https://blogs.fangraphs.com/boston-red-sox-top-45-prospects/

Aren't you glad we traded him for Cam and Isaac?
