Trump’s second-term honeymoon is ending fast. His approval is plummeting, his policies are unpopular, and even some Republicans are pushing back. The cracks are showing, and there’s no hiding it. Catch up on the latest with The Big Picture's 'Week In Wins.'

If you have any doubt that Trump is determined to dismantle the institutions that hold criminals to account, read this article. Trump is a felon. If he had not won the election, by any reasonable metric, he should be in jail. Criminals running the justice dept. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/o...

After attending one of the greatest World Series games of all-time my 6 year old niece has caught the baseball sickness we all have. Here she is wearing Shohei Ohtani’s number, and walking up to Freddie Freeman’s at-bat song on opening day. Both her ideas 😂

If you love baseball and have an appreciation of where it intersects with technology, this article might be interesting.

This is a link to the Effectively Wild Astros season preview. From my optimistic orientation, it makes for a pretty critical view of where the team is weak. What I do find interesting is the conversation about who is doing the GM’s Jon, Crane or Brown. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/e...

A core difference; MAGA voted Trump so he’d hurt other people. We voted against him because he would hurt other people. Https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/2/22/2305303/-Everything-comes-at-a-cost-5-Trump-voters-are-feeling-the-pain?pm_campaign=front_page&pm_source=top_news_slot_7&pm_medium=web

Good morning folks. To my new (and existing) Astros friends, thanks for the follow. It's amazing to see so many of you on here! If you don't mind, I create my own lists so that I can focus on baseball. That helps me keep sane in an increasingly crazy world. I'm happy to remove anyone that wishes.

Brendan Rodgers' minor-league deal with the Astros contains three opt out dates: one at the end of spring training, one on May 1 and another on June 1, sources tell @theathletic.bsky.social. Rodgers reported to camp today and took ground balls alongside Mauricio Dubón at second base.

It is great that Chandler is on the ground at spring training, especially when position players are yet to be determined.

If there are any of you on this platform that voted for Trump, what will happen as a result of Trump getting back to the WH is on you. He is destabilising our democracy and making sure that none of our security partners ever trust us again. All so you have cheap eggs. Your ignorance did this.

For a team that won't publicly commit to anything, the Astros are starting to show their hand. There's uncertainty at second base for the first time since 2011 - www.nytimes.com/athletic/614...

The article infers that the Republicans have "principles". Their only principle is to allow Trump to tear down our democracy as fast as he can as long as they can remain in the majority. Sadly, half the country is too damn ignorant to see it. Free article. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

Trump is a Russian stooge. Putin may as well written this himself. And any Republican in Congress who said they support our allies before, but are silent today over this, are worthless.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Some stuff from Joe Espada this morning: - Brendan Rodgers’ minor-league deal isn’t official, but they like the tools. - Jose Altuve will work exclusively with the outfielders for the next 4-5 days. His first Grapefruit League game will be in the OF - Jacob Melton has some mild back soreness

Reliever Kaleb Ort’s oblique soreness “will take some time,” Joe Espada said today. Too early to put timelines on anything — and Ort is a reliever, which will require less buildup — but the longer he's not throwing, the more likely it is he won't be ready for Opening Day.

Ryan Gusto and Colton Gordon are on the schedule to start Saturday’s Grapefruit League opening day split squad games for the Astros. Gusto will start the home game against the Nationals while Gordon will go to Port St. Lucie and face the Mets.

With the caveat that it is the first full-squad workout and it is Feb. 18, it is worth noting that Jose Altuve did all his defensive work with the Astros’ outfield group today. He and Yordan Alvarez were taking fly balls in left field.

The most straightforward assessment of the potential move to left field that I have read.

Well, this sounds a bit bumpy. Cora is emotionally invested in Bregman I'll bet. He is even MORE invested in winning his division, or more. This might get feisty.
