1. Be Respectful

We can debate lineups, free-agent fits, and organizational philosophy all day long — but do it with respect. No personal attacks, harassment, or insults toward other fans, players, or creators.

2. Keep It Astros-Focused (With Some General Baseball Love Too)

This space is primarily for Astros news, analysis, rumors, and observations. Broader MLB conversation is also encouraged and welcomed, but no unrelated drama or spam.

3. No Hate or Discrimination

Racism, sexism, homophobia, or any harmful language will get you tossed quicker than a 3-pitch strikeout.

4. Give Credit Where It’s Due

Sharing stats, edits, screenshots, or news? Please credit sources. We work hard to create original analysis, and we appreciate when others do the same.

5. No Fake Insider Claims

Speculation is fun. Pretending to be an insider is not. Keep trade ideas labeled as rumors and predictions, not “my cousin works for the team and said…”

6. Keep Things Clean

PG-13 is fine. Anything more… probably not. Let’s keep the space welcoming for fans of all ages.

7. No Politics

Zero political debates, commentary, or agenda-pushing. We’re here to talk baseball. Let’s keep this a stress-free zone.

8. No Promoting Your Own Commerce

No selling, advertising, affiliate links, promoting personal businesses, or dropping your own merch/services. If you wish to advertise, though, we’re open to partnerships.

9. Healthy Debates > Toxic Arguments

It’s okay to disagree — that’s what makes baseball fun. But if things turn hostile or personal, it’s time for a mound visit.

10. Support Your Fellow Fans

We’re all here because we love baseball. Build each other up, share insights, and help make this a place where new and longtime fans feel included.

11. Don’t Feed the Trolls

If someone shows up just to stir the pot, report it and move on. We’ll handle the ejections.

“How many double plays can the Astros hit into with men on base!”
