Weird! Not a single tweet about the other ALDS series since this one.....

Real talk?  We don’t want any part of the Yankees or Dodgers. I mean, I’m not saying we couldn’t win, but I’d just as soon someone else take care of them first. 

[Pimphand 6272]

God damnit Glasnow just fucking walk Stanton at this point.

I agree with you about the Yankees and would be appreciative if the Rays took them out but if we got past Oak and then TB, fuck the Dodgers. I think the Astros have their number in the postseason and all the pressure would be on them. Would love to beat their ass in Arlington. (no disrespect BBGs, just talkin hypotheticals!)

ill wait until #3 before thinking about the next round

I much prefer the Yankees over the Rays

the latter was Glasnow being a dumb duck and tipping his pitches away from taking us out last year and since, we’ve only gotten worse while they’ve stayed the same/gotten better

[runthebone 8324]

Maybe our GM knows all their secret weaknesses.

[Scraps 13753]

Yankees SP sucks ass other than Cole.

Fuck that. Bring them both on.

Are those Yankoff douches still live streaming their reactions to the game?

So get used to this. Prepare for the worst. The Astros are hitting like they did when they cheated. They could break this city’s hearts again.


THEY MUST BE CHEATING AGAIN IN OUR STADIUM

Is it really "their" stadium though?  2-2 vs the Astros and 1-2 vs the Red Sox.  Its a neutral site, at best.

If the Astros manage to make it to the WS, I'd rather it be at Dodger Stadium than at the Arlington Tractor Supply.  Even if the Dodgers are in it.

Urquidy's got this.

Oh the “they even got the WS in their own state!” crowd will be out in full force (as astros fans in the Arlington tractor supply better be as well)

Reddick on the bench against the lefty

Nothing structurally wrong on Greinke is good news, I guess.

Good thing we don't need him. Let's just not ever lose again.

ALCS go with Framber, Uriquidy, LMJ and Javier and be done with it.
Then- same go round with the World Series.  Thanks for the effort Zack. Hopefully see you next April to collect the ring along with JV in your civies.  

Who doesn't want to go with $65 million in dead money. 

[runthebone 8324]

Greinke is not out for the playoffs.  He's we don't know for the playoffs.

Hopefully those contracts are insured. Would be nice to have $65M to spend on Springer, Brantley, and some other bats.

[WBT 20888]

It looks like George and Barbara have been removed from their front row seats at Minute Maid or at least moved off camera.  /no cr

Yeah I would think we'll have insurance money coming next year to cover JV's salary.  That won't affect our standing vs the luxury tax threshold though so I'm not sure how much it will increase the amount that Crane will be willing to spend.

Correct on the LT, but it does give him some relief from real money, it's going to be tight. Of course it helps that almost your entire pitching staff in 2 years will be making probably $15M total.

You would think that if any owner knew the value of insuring a pitchers arm it would be former college pitcher like Crane. 

[perfectchaos007 6766]

Even if we can’t afford Springer, this playoff performance continues to help his valuation. We should get some really good prospects for him unless we screw up the trade 

[WBT 20888]

No trade, he's a free agent 5 days after the end of the WS

[The Earl of Texas 3211]

Jose Urquidy has thrown 14.1 playoff innings, with a 1.26 ERA and 15/4 K-BB split.

Lets fucking go.

[clapclapclap 9000]

Well crap, La Stella got her groove back.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Not an ideal pitch with an 0-2 count

[TexArcher 38829]

Shitfuck

[TexArcher 38829]

Okay, three comebacks in three days.  No problem.

[Scraps 13753]

Well that takes care of one of Springers homers today....yall gonna need more than that A's

[Wishbone 4924]

Throwing air balls thus far. Gotta get them down ASAP.

[Scraps 13753]
