george powering through that interview damned near drove me to tears.   Seriously dusty.

 

George is a good motherfucker.  I love him being an Astro.

[perfectchaos007 6596]

A's can have the division title, our minds are set on something greater.

[htown85 159]

Enjoying sports!

[DaysOff 7853]

Yay

Nice to get that one ground ball and close the game out on a day where Pressly didn't have it. That inning could have gotten ugly, but you need to win that type of game in the postseason.

Why LaStella didn’t swing at that 3-1 meatball i have no idea

[Js1 85110]

Urquidy tomorrow 

[Guadaloopy 10926]

Have the A’s announced?  Do we get a chance to close it out against Fiers?

 

[UTexasFight 9380]

Astros and Yankees are 7-0 to start the postseason 

just like we all drew it up

[thetruth 149]

Throw Fiers tomorrow you cowards. I wanna see these boys kick his fucking dick into the dirt.

But Greinke throws like 46-82 mph. Give him a pain injection and send him out there if needed.

[Wishbone 4739]

I’d like to see the Astros face Fiers ……playing National League rules.

Framber gonna get paid in a few years

He’s a rookie. That’s 5 more years away.

He didn’t have a full year of service time last year. Essentially I was saying we have all his service time left- just like Tucker.

Well, glass half full:

We had no clue who our 3rd starter was the entire post season 2017, and had to bench our closer.

 

let’s run it back

He's not a rookie. His service time started in 2018.

 

Definition

A player shall be considered a rookie unless he has exceeded any of the following thresholds in a previous season (or seasons):

• 130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched in the Major Leagues.
• 45 total days on an active Major League roster prior to Sept. 1, when clubs are allowed to expand their rosters from the 25-player limit to include any player on the 40-man roster.

From Sept. 1 through the end of the regular season, both at-bats and innings pitched count against rookie eligibility but days on a big league roster do not.

A player must have rookie eligibility to be considered for any MLB rookie awards -- such as the American League or National League Rookie of the Year Award -- or appear on any MLB Pipeline prospect lists.

All non Astros fans after checking up on us every game

Cry bitches

Strong to quite strong.  

George is also now tied for 2nd among active players in postseason HRs with 17.  Pujols has 19.

Pretty please, with sugar on top, start the fuckin' rat.

[WBT 20422]

Postseason stats are subject to inflation of course.  We need to get back to the WS so George can go after that record.

I get it. Like I said- I was talking about how much time we have left before he’s FA eligible. I don’t really care about any designation beyond that.

Yes, line drive up the middle pre-game BP, ‘til they get it down.

Fair enough, my larger point was only about his dollar value now vs what he should be getting years from now. He's incredible and deserves a fat fuckin raise.

Bad news about Greinke.  Hopefully giving him more rest helps.  A sweep would be nice.
