2021 Houston Astros Thread

[HtownHorn 14793]

Game was over in the top of the 1st when Correa ground into the double play. Has the entire right side of the infield open and just can't do anything.

[UTexasFight 9555]

We’re going to have to deal with the curse of a trash can for 100 years aren’t we?

[Guadaloopy 11025]

Gonna be a great story come Wednesday.  

[HOOKEM4 5045]

I am absolutely too drunk for this shit. *just cracked my first beer*

I am here for the come back only to lose in the 4th quarter. Wait who is playing?  

[Rip76 4971]

Oof.

By the way, I’m hearing a whistle in the stands.  And heard it last night as well.

[Rockethorn1978 6109]

I feel Like we’re seeing the end of a good Astro run tonight. This is how teams dynasties end.

I salute your optimism, hope it's rewarded!

[CycleTex87 2981]

Are those ALCS tshirts on 75% off yet?

[utxmike05 1828]

Told my neighbor Im not watching until we have a lead. I lied and watched the first inning…now I’m gona stop watching.  I’m sure Acuña will pinch hit and hit a HR also. 

[dr99 560]

Imagine what the media would be saying if the Astros were undefeated at home

[rvm96 1643]

I have heard it every game in ATL.  But it happens for braves and astros batters. 

[htown85 159]

This Braves WS will at least make me think that as long as Crane keeps us competitive there is a chance to win a WS. Let Carlos walk, keep the farm working.

Why? This team will still win the West next year, but I would try to see what you can get for Bregman.

Jesus, this guy's missed over the heart of the plate with a 94 mph fastball to Correa and a hanger to Tucker and they didn't do shit with them.

This team will compete for years.  May not be WS favorites again for a long time, but they can win the division and take their chances in the postseason.

Because I’m pissed off tonight and that’s my hot take.

[Guadaloopy 11025]

Time for Bregs to change the story.

That's not a given. Seattle is going to be really good.

Yep this team is very talented, especially with the $90M+ they will have available to upgrade.

They just need to reboot the coaching staff completely. A new approach is needed to use the whole field, and the IT department needs to stop telling our guys to try to pull everything into the Crawford boxes. They have completely fucked up Altuve into late career Biggio.

[WBT 20676]

Tucker couldn't score on that?

[TexArcher 38081]

There you go, Breggy, you due motherfucker!!

[beer 3222]

How do you like me now?

[rvm96 1643]

That's a start 

[Lat22 4019]

You don’t send tucker with Maldy and the pitcher next?

[cabowabo 4514]

Tucker should have scored on that. Terrible read. 

[Guadaloopy 11025]

Bregs!!

[HtownHorn 14793]

Shocked. We get a good hit when we decide to not try to pull every pitch.

Lulz.

that’s what they play over the PA to get the crowd in sync for the chop, like a marching band about to start

I have a feeling Dusty is coming back.

[TexArcher 38081]

Need at least an RBI groundout or a sac fly here.  Gotta have another.

[WBT 20676]

We're not really going to send up Marwin are we?  I'd say go to Diaz right now with 2 in scoring position.  Maybe Machete can work one of his mind control walks.

[clapclapclap 9000]

Avoided the thread in the post-season so as not to jinx anything.  I don't think we could be jinxed more by now, so coming back to enjoy the last game, if it is.

And as soon as I logged in, Bregs got a hit and we scored.  Change is good.

[cabowabo 4514]

Great job Machete. 

[WBT 20676]

Or sac fly, that will work.  Good job machete.

[elfenix 34343]

Machete!

[TexArcher 38081]

Well done, Maldy!

[HtownHorn 14793]

Great job Maldy.

Spoke it into existence

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Good job Maldy

[YChang 3463]

I'll take it, productive out. 

[WBT 20676]

I'm not sure about letting Framber hit here even with only one runner on now

[UTexasFight 9555]

Is Framber about to go down as the last pitcher to ever bat?

 

 

You’ll see a ton of pinch hitters the rest of this game and then universal DH after this year
