2022 Houston Astros Thread

Get Abreu up. Too many balls and hard contact in that inning. Perfect game for Maton and Smith to get a couple of innings.

So are ford and sparks.

Reading listener emails and talking about a pic of some dude’s breakfast from Tahiti

This outing by Garcia would really be stressing me out if we weren't up by 10.

It seems like his bad innings are always the same.  Walk a couple of guys and then give up a 3 run homer.

Got damn Dusty, go get him. His two starts here (playoff and today) have been awful.

[Wulaw Horn 19258]

If Brown is what I think he is I’d absolutely view Garcia as the guy that needs to be moved. And no- 7 starting pitchers is too many. Move him for a corner OF or 1B with multiple years of control.

Altuve absolutely robbed of a HR

[Storm the Field 5305]

Breggy bombs for all!

[Gourmand 7776]

BREGMAN BOOOOMBAH!!! 2.0!!!

[tx 3 putt 77951]

bregs !!!

[HtownHorn 14935]

MVP Bregman is back. Happy to be wrong about it. Him returning to form was a reason I wasn't worried about losing Correa.

[tx 3 putt 77951]

remember when the surly thread said bregman was done ?

[rvm96 1643]

I will admit I wasn't sure if we would ever see this Bregman again. Props to him

[kevwun 15943]

Do you think adopted children would have the same effect on Bregman?  I think we should give him a couple more to find out before the end of the season.

[tx 3 putt 77951]

bregman needs to keep having kids 

[elfenix 34387]

be nice to have that guy through the beginning of november

[Gourmand 7776]

bats are putting some wood on the ball, even on putouts

I wonder if Arizona would do a Varsho for Garcia deal. Daulton can play LF, CF, or C. Then sign Bell at 1B.

That Stro-poll the other day that had him as one of three candidates to end the season with the team lead in RBIs vs Yordan and Tuck doesn't look so far-fetched anymore.

That’d be awesome. If they needed a couple sweeteners to do it (40 type prospects) I’d still be happy to do that.

Don't lump me in with these morons

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

This is the perfect situation to use Maton. It'll probably be 12-6 when he exits, but we can probably hold that lead. 

Edited August 18, 2022 by Seasick Sailor

[HtownHorn 14935]

Bregman since Knox was born, .393/.470/.768/1.238

[Texas St. Armadillos 1381]

Can we swap Maton for Martinez or is this an options remaining issue?

[HtownHorn 14935]

Can we at least DFA Maton after this game and bring back Martinez?

We could. Maton had an option. We won’t.  It we could. 
Maton is ass my dude.

Only in the past - 2021 playoffs.

Yes, a 9-run lead in the 6th is absolutely the reality of Maton use. That he is still a screaming dumpster fire in that type of setting says all we need to know about him pitching with this team any further.

[Ojo Rojo 1985]

Maton might suck a little bit.

[Guadaloopy 11051]

Pretty solid job of wriggling off the hook.

The game summary should just be this gif:

[Guadaloopy 11051]

10+ runs and a day getaway means that the offense is taking tomorrow off.  You all know this.  Prepare accordingly.

As long as LMJ is effective and gets through 5-6 with no discomfort, I don’t care

The bottom end of the bullpen is the suck. They’ll be watching the playoffs from the couch.
