Still, the good news is there should be plenty of freebies to covet all over the Minute Maid Park schedule this season.
The Astros confirmed part of their slate of giveaways for the season, which includes various limited edition jerseys and a bobblehead featuring one intense stare.
The announcement of the new giveaways punctuated the team's additional unveiling of this season's newest rallying cry: Take It Back. The statement will be used as a hashtag throughout the season on the team's social media accounts.
Though the list is partial, the Astros said they will release the official promotion schedule when single game tickets go on sale to the public on March 7.
Here is the official slate of the 2019 season promotions, so far:
