I’m so fucking done with straw

 

how the fuck are you not on 3rd

[Guadaloopy 11129]

How does Straw not make it to 3rd?

[Guadaloopy 11129]

Cmon blue. That was two balls inside.  

[elfenix 34658]

Blueballs

[Guadaloopy 11129]

Totally changes the at bat and made him protect on that outside edge pitch.  

[David Dennison 19441]

Hard to believe that's the same guy who sent us to the World Series.

What a crap year.

[UTexasFight 9788]

Every loss. This team manages to somehow out do itself and cause me to be even more frustrated than the last 

infuriating 

[perfectchaos007 6766]

Gonna have to clinch against the Rangers I guess.

[Rimbo 26853]

I have this theory.

Because Houston apparently can't win anything without an asterisk, what bigger asterisk is there than the 2020 MLB Season?

Ergo, we back into the playoffs, and then proceed to win the World Series this year.

Surely this team can take two of four from currently the worst team in the league?

Here’s a fun game 

in a normal season, we’re about a month away from the all star game. Who are our all stars?

Machete for sure

Tucker

Framber?

 

what a shitastic season.

But baseball is a streaky sport.  Not gonna do the math, but the Astros might be the worst team in the league over the last 3rd of this season.

Right?  If someone would have told you in February that the Astros’ two most productive/clutch hitters this season would be Tucker and Maldonado (due respect to Uncle Mike) and that Framber would be the most reliably good SP...

They were 21-19 through 40 games. 28-28 now. So no.

Yep.

we’ve been the definition of mediocre the entire season.

We got as high as 6 games over .500 on Sept 3, then promptly lost 6 in a row to fall back to .500 and haven’t had a streak of more than 2 consecutive wins or losses since.

Actually just quoting this because I like the sound of it so much.

"The Rangers are the worst team in the league." Say it again!

Shit, even if we lose to them and get knocked out of the playoffs, that almost makes 2020 worthwhile.

It’s a rough year being an Astros fan.

I can’t fathom being an Astros fan AND and aggie fan.

my sympathies, rimbo

I have a theory that one day I will bang a supermodel.

Chances of both are 0.0%

Honestly, I felt more hopeful with the 2015 team heading into the playoffs than this one.  And that was with a one and done Wild Card game.

It was a joke pointing out how your post reeks of aggy mentality....more concerned with someone else than your own team.

”I don’t care how bad we are and if we miss the playoffs. Looks at the rangers in last place!!!!”
 

really?

No, that's not what I said. It's not even a remotely accurate paraphrase.

[WBT 20884]

That overlay shows they even mostly copied MinuteMaid's outfield dimensions from CF to RF.  They have a real LF though.

[Guadaloopy 11129]

Where’s that Altuve been most of the year?

[Guadaloopy 11129]

No no-no.  

[Guadaloopy 11129]

No shutout.  

[WBT 20884]

Bregs!!

[Scraps 13745]

Nice catch dummy

[WBT 20884]

Lulz.  Thanks Willy T's cousin.  This feels like roughly the 1st time all year we've had a 2-out multi-run rally.

[Guadaloopy 11129]

Crooked number and nearly 30 pitches for Lynn in the first inning.

They did it in the 9th last night but needed one more. 

[TexArcher 38816]

Fuck the Rangers.

[Guadaloopy 11129]

Can’t score on slop-jar full of nuts Margevicius yesterday, but touching up Lance Lynn today.  Baseball is dumb.  

[Guadaloopy 11129]

Springer Dinger!!!

[WBT 20884]

George is getting upset!!  

It doesn't look that hard to hit a homerun there.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

[Guadaloopy 11129]

Anyone have the “and I crushed it” gif?

[Rimbo 26853]

Odor should play offensive line with that pancake block of Tuve.

[IDIOTsavant 8673]

Just going to throw this out there, but somebody remind me to post that Larry David gif tomorrow if things continue on the current trend line. 

[Rimbo 26853]

what the shit was that Garneau...

Don't do that, Dustin.

[Guadaloopy 11129]

Yuli is sucking so bad right now that his swings get negative bases.  

[Guadaloopy 11129]

I had not heard the “Mimic Maid Park” moniker before just now.
