2022 Houston Astros Thread

[Scraps 13562]

That line up has not been posted or submitted to mlb yet 

Unfortunately it will probably still end up being right, but yeah I wouldn't use Schwab as a source ever cause he is a dingleberry

I can honestly say I’ve never once, not a single time, witnessed a “stadium-wide” - or even section-wide - chant that included “fuck you ______.”

Started watching the Colt .45's in 1962 and have followed the franchise since that time.  I've never seen anything remotely resembling NY's crowd behavior toward Altuve directed at an opposing player by Houston fans.  Asked my buds who are as old as I am (or older) if they'd ever seen any similar behavior and they thought I'd lost my mind (well, I am an old).  Too many NY fans lack the simple grace and courtesy we take for granted in this part of the US of A.

[Scraps 13562]

Yep confirmed. That is the lineup.

Pena should be an easy clear. Quit being pussies med staff

[Harrison Stafford 3335]

Rub some dirt on it.  You’ll be fine.

Ninfas is hopping, big crowd. Lot of Astros gear

[TonyTexas 10516]

Since it looks like Yordan won’t play today, let’s recap his June. .418/.510/.835, 9 HR, 28 RBI. He’s a lock for player of the month.

And all of that in only 22 games started (plus 1 PH appearance)

Meanwhile, I hope Tucker manages to catch him HRs tonight (he has 7 in June)

[tx 3 putt 77061]

I’m giving every Yankee fan the finger, in case one is helo

 

also, yankee chick fans are hefty 

[tx 3 putt 77061]

Lot of corpus people here, Trevino got a nice cheer 

[WBT 20615]

Luis is going to rock the Yankees to sleep

[tx 3 putt 77061]

Let’s do this !!!!

[Scraps 13562]

Don't walk him

[WBT 20615]

So I guess we're going with a 1 non-catcher bench tonight.  Cool, cool.

[TonyTexas 10516]

It’s good to see Yordan on the bench. Might just be a 1 game absence. 

[Guadaloopy 10973]

Keep putting pitches on Severino.  

[Scraps 13562]

Did they bring in a Barbara Bush lookalike behind the plate?

Make him work 

[Guadaloopy 10973]

Sit down, ya doosh.  

[henrygandorf 29192]

has it been discussed why they decided to not throw cole tonight?  this would be his regular rest and they didn't have any days off.

guess they wanted to save him for cleveland.  i get it.

[UTexasFight 9498]

King/Holmes pitching 3 of the last 4 days (including the last two). I see you, gameplan.

keep working those counts, get to the pen.

[Guadaloopy 10973]

If Garcia played for any other team, that wind-up would drive me bonkers.  As an Astro fan, I love it.  

[Guadaloopy 10973]

Nice inning, Luis!

I heard somewhere it was because of 20 games without a day off coming up.  They're going to a 6-man for extra rest.

Walked the 9 hole 😡

Yeah so their last off day was June 13 so they did modified 6 man.

Went 6 man, dropped back to 5 man one rotation through, then now back to 6 man til their next off day on the 4th

[VirginiaLonghorn 4777]

Watching on MLB Network.  Usually, they carry the home team telecast.  Of course, today we’re treated with the YES crew. 🤢

[WBT 20615]

Good job.

61 pitches through 3 though

I’m pretty sure that JV pitches every 5th day no matter what and that works for me.

Well he wasn't so you are incorrect

Not for the first time.

[billfromlaketravis 11516]

How many signatures would it take for a Maldy should sac bunt on every RISP at bat petition to get Click’s attention?

[HtownHorn 14724]

More shitty execution.

Great AB coming back from 0-2.

Let's go Bregs.

So it probably isn’t “laughable” to expect that that won’t happen. What’s laughable is the extent to which Altuve has gotten under the skin of Yankee fans.

Yep, for Astros fans.

But let's not talk about Oilers fans in the final years....

[WBT 20615]

Bregs!  

Just needed a little more lift.

[Scraps 13562]

Get bent Seve

[Guadaloopy 10973]

So close!  Nice one, Bregs!

[billfromlaketravis 11516]

Bregs is back? 

[Serak The Preparer 3431]

Man his trade value could have been just a tiny bit higher with a bit more lift.

[Scraps 13562]

Tucker why u dum

[WBT 20615]

Lulz, come on Ted.
