2022 Houston Astros Thread

[Gut Wagon 8065]

Something told me we weren't going to win 1-0, even against a team this feeble.

Yeah, when you have to start your B team, it usually doesn’t go well.

[Wulaw Horn 19068]

We still got 9 outs. 

[Rimbo 25915]

I'm sorry. This is all my fault. I started actually watching the game. I'll stop now!

[clapclapclap 9000]

NotJulia talks too fast.

[Honeysucklerose 987]

NotJulia talks too fast.

And has huge ears

[Gut Wagon 8065]

Tough AB. Get him home. 

[rvm96 1643]

I think we all knew Siri was swinging in the 3-2 count no matter what 

[Honeysucklerose 987]

He sucks

[tx 3 putt 76875]

Where was that 3-2 pitch ?

[TonyTexas 10508]

We need an outfielder not another pitcher. Meyers, Chas and Siri are not the answer. Especially with Brantley probably out for a while.

I'll take a lefty reliever 

[runthebone 7967]

3 hits, 2 errors:  a winning ratio

[runthebone 7967]

No pressure, Ted, but we need a home run or will probably lose.

[Scraps 13561]

Should I wear a brown paper bag over my head to the game tomorrow?

Well. The B team isn’t ready for the bright lights

[YChang 3443]

This is no fun, no fun at all

[Gut Wagon 8065]

Getting beaten at home by a sub-.200 hitter named Skye is what I'd call a low point of the year. Go get us a bat. 

[Limp Brisket 546]

Meh, a loss always sucks but everything is fine.

Anus AIDS Franchise: 1
Anus AIDS Lineup: 0

At least we get angry Nick Turturro in the meantime.

 

 

[Pimphand 5734]

LMFAO at MFY getting rayped by the umpire on that final strike 3 call hahaha.  Universe provides

[Scraps 13561]

Stros did this today since this was somehow the A's first trip to Houston since Fosse passed last year....comments section is nicest I have seen towards Houston in over 3 years

[tx 3 putt 76875]

60 before the All Star break was the goal, do or die tomorrow 

[Scraps 13561]

That goal changes if you are running out the Space Cowboys the last 3 games before the break

[tx 3 putt 76875]

Corpus isn’t that far away 

[runthebone 7967]

Can Whitley hit?

[perfectchaos007 6627]

Now we know what our team is like without Altuve, Alvarez, and Brantley. We don't have the depth to make up for those absences

Clearly 1 game samples are determative 

[Hank Chinaski 6314]

Also, nobody has enough depth to offset the concurrent absence of the best hitter and best second baseman in MLB (in addition to another good hitter in Brantley). 

[APMP 688]

To be fair, most teams probably don't have that kind of depth.

He can definitely take a hit

I'm sure we'll do the same for Mike Fiers when his Chinese Professional Baseball League team is in town.

Fucking rat.

[Scraps 13561]

The dream is alive

[Scraps 13561]

[BornOrange 1441]

All-Star curse is alive. First Alvarez (hand), then Valdez (hair), then Altuve (knee).

We need to bubble-wrap Verlander and Tucker.

[patrickdrinksbeer 788]

altuve shouldn’t be eligible for future all-star game selections.

[runthebone 7967]

Because he prioritizes his team over a meaningless exhibition?  OK.

[Wulaw Horn 19068]

I am Jacks complete lack of surprise (Soto on the block after extension talks fell apart) 

there was never a world where Washington kept him that was not Washington stupidity if he rejected the extension offer. 
I have zero belief he goes to us. But he should go somewhere. 

[patrickdrinksbeer 788]

if it was actually about prioritizing astros i would have no problem with it. i don’t buy that getting hit by a pitch on thursday and then playing one inning on tuesday presents any risk. i could be wrong.

How good does the Alvarez extension look?

There goes my dreams of 6/150 for Tucker, probably.

Include him in the Soto package

Nah. You have an extra year of control with Tucker. If he goes out it’s an upgrade on Tucker but not a big enough one to give away the extra year IMO. Unless the package is Tucker, Brown and Leon or something. I’d do that but I doubt they would.
