2022 Houston Astros Thread

Ump giving this motherfucker the benefit of the doubt way inside?

Bullshit call on Yordan

Bregman was screwed as well. Kirby should get no benefits of the doubt in this game.

[HtownHorn 14,678]

I like Lee's athleticism for the position. I hope he figures out the other stuff, because the Astros haven't had an athlete of this caliber since Ausmus. Shit, I'd take Ausmus level offense (slightly more power numbers) from Lee.

If this guy gets his first career hit, the Astros should take the ball and fucking fire it into the crowd.

I knew you'd rush to his defense. And I believe at least most of what you say about Meyers is true, or is likely to be. The question thus is maybe more "when" than "if." I just don't think we're going to get that much positive out of him in the short term, given the shoulder issue and all. I'd rather have a veteran in that spot while our title window is wide open. I think that even includes Dubon. 

Agree completely. This year is a wash and t eh should just move on. There are some things though that when you see you can’t un-see it and you know it’s in there. That’s how I feel about him hitting 3 right center field 400+ foot bombs his first week up. 

[Wulaw Horn 19,069]

16 minutes ago, HtownHorn said:

Nope. Meyers's offense is completely dependent on an astronomically unsustainable BAbip.

Nope.

He’s got to walk more and strikeout less or he won’t make it as anything more than a 4th OF. 

[Guadaloopy 10,964]

Do we have a stock ticker for Odo’s trade value?

[Wulaw Horn 19,069]

That last K by Tucker was just fucking brutal. Fastball middle middle with no attempt to get the bat off his shoulder. He’s so far in his own head right now. 

[Gourmand 7,774]

This is a good day to talk shit on guys named Jake

Jake speaks like young Wally Cleaver.

Looked at a good pitch on 3-1 and started to first like it was ball 4 (lol), then swung at trash up and in nowhere near the plate to strike himself out. Not good. 

[Gourmand 7,774]

Odorizzi pitching his ass off today. Swinging K of Abraham Toro???? Are u kiddin me???

[Wulaw Horn 19,069]

Fucking hose job on 2-1 to Alvarez. Changes the entire complexion of the bat and inning. Robot umps. Robot umps. Robot umps.

I'd trade him for Michael A. Taylor straight up if KC would do it.

Imagine how good Yordan is going to be when they use robo umps and ban the shift

[Gourmand 7,774]

Odorizzi 80 pitches of no run ball through 6 innings.....how long is his leash?

KC would do that in a heartbeat. Houston wouldn't.

Y'all can do better. These are as weak as Servais.

So where's the Odorizzi hate today?

No hate here.  Just glad he is getting his trade value up.

[Wulaw Horn 19,069]

Will it lower his trade value when he gives up a 2 run Hr to tie it here? 

[Guadaloopy 10,964]

Damn, Odo.  We see you.  

[runthebone 7,981]

Cardinals panicking about the busy signal.

[runthebone 7,981]

Feel free to score some runs now, Astros.

[billfromlaketravis 11,466]

So Odo pitches the 8th he can probably lower his ERA by a full run in one game, right? 

[runthebone 7,981]

It's cruel to have him up here right now.

I think he did that two starts ago. It was short-lived, but it happened. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2,090]

Jake Myers has no business on a major league roster right now. Definitely not a playoff roster.

Shoulder is bjorked. Trade for a CF and shut Jake down for the year.

Through 7, the guys receiving those first two pitches = only runs of the game.

 

I hope they miss a wild card by 1 game

Siri is so much better as a PR/defensive replacement since Jake’s arm is broken. If Siri gets dealt Jake should probably make the roster as defensive replacement and pinch runner, but he should not be allowed to bring bat or batting gloves. 

[billfromlaketravis 11,466]

I assume Pressly is unavailable today?

Huh?

why would we carry a postseason defensive replacement with a broken arm?

Against toro, hopefully

but considering he just came up in the 8th, he better not have another plate appearance

[TonyTexas 10,510]

Y’all keep using Jake’s shoulder as an excuse for his suckage.  Has there any actual evidence or talk of that actually being the case. 

[David Dennison 18,856]

Great. Just great.

[HtownHorn 14,678]

Fucking walks by our bullpen. That always works out well for the Astros.

Who’s not really that good as a center fielder.

FUCK!

Our leverage arms spitting the bit this weekend.  

[UTexasFight 9,432]

Stop.

fucking.

walking.

guys.

and throwing middle middle fastballs.

[runthebone 7,981]

That's why you don't walk dogshit hitters

[billfromlaketravis 11,466]

That ball didn’t move at all. Jesus Stanek. 

[Macklemore 2,876]

Fucking James Click make a God damned move to improve this club. Watch this clown of a GM we have stand pat. 

[HtownHorn 14,678]

Holy shit, how difficult is it to understand that Stanek and Maton are not to be used in late/close situations. Both walk too many batters for that situation.

[UTEX_ME 4,762]

Walk kill. So fucking frustrating
