Minor League Season Gets Underway Tonight

It’s a Thursday, and the Astros are off. That’s a good thing, right? I mean, I’d prefer to have the memories of getting shut out by Mike Minor out of my mind ASAP, but this team needed a day off.

At 2-5, it’s our worst start since 2013, when the minor league box scores were like the hopes for a hopeless fan base (if you pick up the riff on Karl Marx, good for you; otherwise, move on).

What’s new in 2019? Two teams have new locations, one moving from Buies Creek to Fayetteville, the other from Fresno to Round Rock.
