2021 Houston Astros Thread

re: dodgers vs braves - if scherzer is out, all bets are off.  justin turner is out, muncy is out, trea turner doesn't seem right.  the braves lineup is better right now, and the pitching is really close.  i think morton/fried is every bit what buehler/urias is.

homefield is the only deciding factor.

Dodgers or Braves, we’re breaking their hearts

Outhitting the entire opposing team sounds good.  This Alvarez dude might stick around.

[Mez2 4041]

Yeah, but Josh Fields.

Feels like he single-handedly exorcised the demons of Soto and Arozarena in one championship series.

[kevwun 16269]

That's gonna be a nice trivia question several years from now.  He was only a hit or 2 short of tying them for the last 3 games.

I don't think I could put up his last two game stats on my Playstation.

I’m starting to come around to this school of thought the more injuries stack up for the Dodgers.

I like Astros merch as much as the next guy, but I can't see myself paying $40 for a T-shirt.

youre going to see miracle cures before game 1, if they make it to the World Series 

[Fudge Nuggets 19407]

MLB radio guys this afternoon were going all conspiracy theory saying Scherzer is fine but wants the glory of Game 7 to bolster his upcoming free agency price.

We owe that psycho a beat down for 2019.

Not really a shock. Astros least favored team going into game 6 last night of all playoff teams. Boston can fuck right off now about Laz and the 9th.

I don't get it.  We were less favored than teams that have already been eliminated?  Gambling is stupid.

who’s favored in game 7 ? 
 

[Gourmand 7778]

Go Braves! Ideally in 7 gms and a 17 inning gm 7.Get us one more game at Minute Maid.

Also, I wouldn't mind eliminating any mathematical chance of losing to the Dodgers in the World Series because I think the difference between a WIN over the Dodgers instead of Braves is less than the difference between a LOSS to the Dodgers instead of Braves.

[HtownHorn 15243]

I thought the Laz Diaz reference would have given it away. This is cumulative ump report from the ball/strike calls in all playoff games. Going into game 6 the Astros have been the least favored team by the home plate umps in playoff baseball.

[Rockethorn1978 6203]

I want the Braves all day because ewe get HFA. And who wouldn’t want another 4 home games? Our crowd is electric.

Sweep them and you only get two home games no matter who has HFA.

[Jshep34 2425]

For alcs gear and world series gear wait till December/January. The Astros host a Christmas in the park and alot of stuff is on sale.

I ordered my World Series patch hat like I have before and it probably won’t even come in till after the World Series is over.

If the Braves win then the rap memes for the World Series will be lit af.

Like we're going to need all 4 home games

 

Good guys in 5

[UTexasFight 9787]

I’m sure this point is known by most but didn’t explicitly see in mentioned.

1 Boston run the final 26 innings of this series.

I don't care how the Braves win, as long as they win. Because

• I kinda like the Braves
• fuck the dodgers
• home field advantage

Back in the 1990s I would have never said that, EVER.  But yeah, I kind of like this group of Braves - Uncle Charlie has a bit to do with it.

[Gourmand 7778]

I gave this poor dude so much shit last night, good naturedly of course. Also, he brought his baseball glove.

[WBT 20879]

Is he wearing eyeblack?  And a fake beard made of eyeblack?

Yea I was drunk. Got 2 shirts and hat at stadium after….got to register saw total…”$120 wtf?“  It wasn’t even the pro hats with WS logo that I wanted.  Again….drunk. 

[runthebone 8322]

Joc Pederson is such a piece of shit.  We should nail him in the back once we are up 7-0 and 3 games to 0.

[Fudge Nuggets 19407]

Both the Astros and Braves have a lot of the 2019 Nationals clutch about them.

I haven’t bought any postseason stuff since 2017, but I like the locker room tshirt and since I got to see it in person I figured why not.

Boston fans living in Houston can get f***ed. They all have a story on why they’re a super fan. Look, you’re either from there or you’re not.

One of the two is already through to the WS.  The other one I really don't give a shit if they make it or not.

[billfromlaketravis 11783]

Braves are probably the better team right now. Still want the Braves for HFA and the extra DH game. 

[kevwun 16269]

Yep, the extra dh game makes me want Atlanta.  Never though I would utter such blasphemy.
