11 hits not a single double

kinda strange for this team

9 singles, 2 HRs

made it count when it mattered

0-7 with RISP, 9 LOB

said above, but nails by the bullpen scattered 4 hits over 6.1. 8 Ks against maybe the biggest stat of the night: 1 BB

Slowest game I’ve ever attended. Lines sucked. Don’t care. Got the win. Drank a bunch. Ate chick fil and hot dogs. Saw the H‑E‑B guy, Andre Johnson and some fat guy that looked like the wolverine. Hopefully won’t be back for a couple of weeks.

If you’re not eating at Shake Shack or Pluckers at MMP you’re doing it wrong.

To the people that were pissed at Altuve for striking out earlier…….I think he made up for it.

The bigger fuck up was the error that led to two more runs for the Red Sox when it should have been an inning-ending gidp. But yes, he made up for it.

All of the trade pieces in the bullpen have come together this postseason.  
 

It has always seemed to me that Javier needs that added bit of stress to really bear down and perform, and the playoff atmosphere provides that.

Garcia has to be on his game today and give us at least 5 innings.

 

From Kaplan this morning:

 

Here was the Astros’ path to 19 outs from their bullpen:

RHP Yimi Garcia: one batter, one out
RHP Cristian Javier: seven batters, six outs
RHP Phil Maton: four batters, three outs
LHP Brooks Raley: three batters, two outs
RHP Ryne Stanek: one batter, one out
RHP Kendall Graveman: four batters, three outs
RHP Ryan Pressly: four batters, three outs

Garcia started at home against the Red Sox on June 1st.

His line that day: 7IP 5 H 1 R 1 ER 1 BB 6 K  0 HR

He threw 106 pitches. Obviously we're not getting that out of him today but it would be very helpful if he can pitch 6 innings.

MLB can suck a dick....astros get the day game after a night game so that the precious Dodgers can have the night game? Houston v Boston way more interesting series

It's fine.  The fans will still be nuts, and Garcia has less time to think about his start today.

The good thing is that, besides Javier, none of the bullpen threw a lot of pitches and all should be available today.

Make him work early, get to that bullpen. He’s facing a tough line up

and walk kike all day if possible or come up with a better pitching strategy

Of course he did.  He has a little bit of credit at the Astros Fans Trust&  Fidelity Fund. That doesn’t mean that striking out with the bases juiced and only one out wasn’t a terrible AB.  Then add on flooding the potential double play ground ball, and yeah, it sucked.  
 

It doesn’t mean We stopped loving the motherfucker, but it was a sudden flashback to the microcosm of bad Altuve that was the 2020 reg season.  He kind of somewhat worked out of it…

Or stick with the hot bat.

sure, but both have been hitting in the playoffs and ideally I think the Astros would like to get both of the at bats. Meyers is better defensively in cf than Chas so this is pretty good indicator that he's not ready to play imo.

Urquidy is starting game 3, still no announcement about gm 4 starter. 

Framber. Rubber arm. Only threw 65 pitches. Should go with him on 3 days rest- should sit Javier and tandem them together. 
I know it won’t happen, but I’d like to see it

Fucking Sophie’s choice- picked this over game two. Hope I made the right call. Fuckers could have given us the night game and I’d have been able to attend both in person. No such luck.

I chose poorly.
