He's thought of as hard to get along with in large part because he's always been an outsider when it comes to developmental techniques. He got traded by the Diamondbacks because he wanted to do his own things instead of just following old school guesswork. He knows he's undersized. He was not the gifted guy in college, that was Cole. But from the time he was a kid with his Dad, he has pushed the envelope of scientific methods to get better. From that perspective he's right down the Astros alley. See The MVP Machine.

I think a lot of his conclusions about the Astros pitching improvement is that he's seeing it from his frame of reference. He's already spent the time and technology to look at things like very intricate control of hand position, grip, stride, linear power delivery. But even for a veteran like Verlander, most pitchers have room to improve on things like velocity and spin rate just be applying the kinds of things Strom teaches and Bauer already does.

Theres the 50th Anniversary DVDs that I got when they were on sale but now the price is insane if you can find it for a reasonable price they're really awesome.

This is a really cool book that came out last year about the history of the team. Some of the copies I've seen even come signed by Acosta and Brown. It would be extra awesome if you got it autographed by some of the players too.

I'm guessing this is the closest thing to that.

There is a video called "Astros Memories" on that DVD that is probably pretty good. I don't own it myself, so I don't know.

I've been grinning all day, and not even slightly bored taking in articles, reaction videos, clips, interviews, podcasts, etc. Oh look, the World Series video is ready for pre-order! https://www.amazon.com/Major-League-Baseball-Houston-Angeles/dp/B075DXTJTQ/ref=tmm_blu_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

This but without sarcasm

Highly recommended, btw though I can't really vouch for this specific translation:

Do yourself a favor and buy this:

https://www.amazon.com/Houston-Astros-World-Collectors-Blu-ray/dp/B075DSL4BC/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1526247013&sr=8-2-fkmr1&keywords=astros+2017+world+series+champion+blu+ray

Theres also a cheaper version that is basically as 2 hour highlight video. I think its about half the price.

edit: the full set includes Game 7 of the ALCS

There are only two acceptable manga: Naruto, and BLAME!. BLAME! is currently being re-released as a 6-volume "master series," and I am ALL OVER THAT. Amazon link to vol. 1, for funsies.

There are only three acceptable non-movie anime: Cowboy Bebop, GiTS:SAC, and Samurai Champloo. DBZ doesn't count because it's fucking timeless and impervious to judgement.

Acceptable anime movies is a more broad category, but there still are strict standards: Akira, GiTS, Princess Mononoke, Spriggan, Vampire Hunter D, and Ninja Scroll. There are others (basically anything Miyazaki touches is gold), but, as with all anime, it is easy to go wrong.

And now you know... the rest of the story. (Paul Harvey reference, don't worry about it.)

If interested in the specifics and all the things behind the scenes you may check out Astroball . Was definitely a lot of rough years but it made coming out the other side that much sweeter.

> I’m still waiting for an actual documentary that catalogues the Astros’ going from the Lastros to World Series champs. The entire story is an emotional ride with lows and highs.

That already exists, and it's fantastic, but it's a book.

For those of you who don't know (which most of you probably don't) I work in a candy factory. My brother got this. The recipes are pretty lame

Pre Order for the documentary available here at a discount.

There’s also a World Series 8 disc set I saw on mlbshop.com with all games and ALCS game 7. I preordered that on eBay for $57, both release December 5 iirc.

Just out of curiosity is that the same as this?

> I'm sore in places that I didn't know you could be sore

Sore gooch, eh? Been there. When I first got into cycling, I didn't have a decent pair of biker shorts and didn't comprehend sitting on the bike for 2-3 hours straight plus the associated friction. Words of advice (in addition to a decent pair of bike shorts): butt cream.
