  1. A number of adult men could kill a German shepherd (much much more couldn't) A chimp would fuck one up basically immediately, even if the dog bit down. It can crush the skull of one
  2. Not really. We won the fucking World Series last year and have been 4 times and to 6 straight ALCS's. The Astros could fuck my dead grandpa right now and I'd still love them
  3. That's the biggest horseshit ever. He has at least 15 this year. And another 20 he just hasn't caught that hit him right in the glove that luckily just didn't allow a runner to move up so no reason to score them
  4. Dumbfounded this thread isn't full of how awful this umps zone is. He is skewed a few inches to the left hand batters box. Missing strikes inside and balls outside all damn game
  5. 0-2 against us, with a chance to go 0-3. Framber outpitched him both times before
  6. He's 3-5 all time against us in 12 starts
  7. I mean not really. In today's sound bite era, accidentally saying the wrong thing in English could get Ohtani in a ton of trouble back home. Same with Abreu here. If your aren't confident in comprehending the question or getting the words/sentence structure right I get it. I do think at some point Ohtani will start speaking English though. He speaks pretty well, I think it's more comprehending questions properly.
  8. wow, that was a break
  9. Feel like Chas should have been sent there
  10. Pena is a 2nd year player, this shit happens to most of them. See Julio Rodriguez
  11. Like, she like, needs to like stop that shit. Like now FIFY
  12. This may be the wife statement that drives me the most nuts. We is only used when it's me that has to do it. Luckily my wife has learned that's a hot button and says "I would appreciate if you would" instead. Makes a huge difference in my attitude. I would still do it with way one, but way two doesn't agitate me and put me on the back foot.
  13. It definitely seemed that way, but Pujols' career numbers are better than his numbers against the Astros. He just happened to play in our division for most of his career
  14. I worked in a dry cleaner for a short time in high school. This above is correct. There are different dilutions of the starch you can use or make. You can also simply put more or less on.
  15. Clearly, since he's causing him to throw homerun pitches every game
  16. Why in the fuck to mid 20s players like Chas and Julks ever need a single day off? Every single Astros "fan" that defends Dusty in this is being a dumbass. Bligh should be a guy brought in after you've had 3 injuries in a game. It's inexcusable that Dusty ever starts him over Julks, much lest Chas. Same goes for Martin over Diaz. You are in a "something big is going to have to go right" season and you are wasting Diaz's development behind the plate.
  17. It was absolutely brought up and one guy said "you got me there" lol
  18. Took the kids into the lions den today. Honestly most Dodgers fans weren’t bad. We even got a small “cheater” chant going with Mookie. Was actually really funny the Dodgers fans just nodded and laughed around us. Then we ventured to the upper deck and the fans were a lot bigger set of dicks. Though most shut up when I pointed that their local “cheater” had most of their runs. Got a little more riled up when I called their 2020 title a bigger asterisk than 2017. But it was mostly in good fun. Ventured back down to the field level where my seats were behind the Astros dugout That was my last of the classic stadiums and it didn’t disappoint. Much like Wrigley and Fenway it’s a dump. But an awesome dump. The views are better than anywhere save maybe PNC or Oracle. And they are spectacular from the top deck. Dusty made that game stupidly difficult and I blame base running issues on the manager. It’s his job to get the team in the right place for that. Not to mention refusing to pinch hit for Maldy (or better not playing him at all). And resting Altuve was just dumb.
  19. If our lineup allowed was optimized for it daily that would really help
  20. I think most people care pretty equally, probably you included. If we win it, cool, that's great. If we don't, oh well. And Stanford is a cheat code in it anyway because they play every damn sport, and public universities can't really do that
  21. WTF is going on with Tucker. He would have caught that ball 8 of 10 the last few years. Didn't even try there
  22. Be super careful there. The net has never been high enough for the design of the lower deck behind it. Balls come in freaking hot. Saw a girl take one off the shoulder the first time I was there. Saw another ball slam into an empty seat and bounce back ten rows. Though those were close to straight behind home
  23. Wait are we not in the trust tree? Never kink shame...
  24. Lance's deal is almost definitely covered by insurance. As was Verlander's. If a guy is in the first 3 years of a deal it is very likely, from everything I've ever seen and heard that, it has an insurance policy. Maybe not to cover the whole amount, but likely with McCullers being young it does. So the time he's on the DL they are likely getting insurance payments. Insurance payments don't count against the cap either, so unless it's hugely prohibitive they have them. It's part of the reason that the Giants and Mets wanted to renegotiate with Correa. They couldn't get insurance at rates that made sense unless they took money from his contract to do it. The Astros have made money hand over fist. Abreu and McCullers deals will not effect winning in any shape or form based on money. They will hurt because they are two previously good players that aren't contributing. The Astros could easily afford to pay into the top tier of the luxury tax, and I think they've been managing money accordingly the last few years because on the outer end of the window they know they will have to. Crane is not going to allow this team to not be playoff competitive unless he has absolutely no choice
  25. If I'm the only one in line, or maybe 1 person behind me I do the same. I couldn't care less about you trying to game your stats. Especially if I didn't have a special order of any kind
