2021 Houston Astros Thread

[Guadaloopy 11027]

I just disagree.  It’s not that big of a change to the game conceptually.  Relievers come into games all of the time with a runner on second that they didn’t put there.   
 

If you’re opposed to gimmickry, you should be lobbying against a batter’s ability to advance to first base on a dropped third strike.

Stanek has no idea where his pitches are going.

[WBT 20676]

I'm kind of amazed he only gave up the one

[Scraps 13584]

Putting a runner on 2nd is dumb as fuck and not real baseball. If you like it you suck.

[David Dennison 18952]

If you can't manufacture a run in this situation, you might not be very good.

Or to put it another way,  the kind of fan who doesn't like looking at Salma Hayek's titties.

Didn’t say that I particularly liked it.  I just don’t think it is harbinger of the end times.  

[Gourmand 7774]

i loathe it 

[David Dennison 18952]

Earn some money, Carlos.

[WBT 20676]

Correa about to pick up his 3rd IBB of the game?  I guess not since he'd be the winning run.

[Scraps 13584]

Correa you should probably show up Tatis

[WBT 20676]

One time Chas

[WBT 20676]

Green light!

Not possible with Chas hitting behind him

Would actually be two times…

[UTexasFight 9557]

[Scraps 13584]

Machete do it

[Guadaloopy 11027]

At worst, Melancon’s burned for the next inning.

Not the best night for José

He’s going to score the winning run after going 0 for 6.

That would require the aggy to hold them scoreless.  I’m thinking you’re still wrong. 

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Brooks fin Raley

[Wulaw Horn 19153]

82 mile an hour curveball. We win this game if that’s Bidge in the box. It would have clanged off his armor or his hip. 

[Guadaloopy 11027]

aggy 

[David Dennison 18952]

The Astros bullpen, ladies and gentlemen.

[Honeysucklerose 990]

I really hate him

[David Dennison 18952]

Good team v. meh team.

[cabowabo 4514]

Should have brought in Paredes. Fuck you Dusty.

[tx 3 putt 77609]

dipshit knows he's not supposed to give up hits ?

[Lat22 4019]

Great job aggy.

[Wulaw Horn 19153]

I’d rather end a game in a tie then this extra inning concept.

I wish we had a competent bullpen with major league talent.

[Guadaloopy 11027]

[clapclapclap 9000]

Another loss thanks to Hedge Fund Click's cheapass crapass bullpen.

[Mez2 4026]

Raley needa to take an uber to Fuck Off and Die 

[tx 3 putt 77609]

E4

[HtownHorn 14793]

This bullpen is such crap.

[tx 3 putt 77609]

the flood gates are open 

[clapclapclap 9000]

A great game turns into the 2nd absolute embarrassment this week.  And Click just continues to pick his nose.
