No GIDP, Yuli.

 

mancini strike out hurt there

[runthebone 7932]

He took 4 pitches!

[Wulaw Horn 18980]

Kids eating steak tonight. 

[HtownHorn 14487]

Damn, McCullers pitches are just nasty tonight. So much late movement.

[runthebone 7932]

Good.  What is his WHIP, 2?

[WBT 20421]

Got him!  Let's get one more out of Lance and let Brown pick up a 3 inning save.

[runthebone 7932]

1.31 ERA, 1.45 WHIP is rare.

[runthebone 7932]

Would not have sent him back out there.  Was Brown time.

[WBT 20421]

You always think Lance can get a gidp to get out of trouble but I think I'd pull him after that ground rule double.  And before I can finish typing that he strikes out the next guy on 3 pitches.

Our CF arms are ridiculously weak.

[VivaNaranja 466]

Fucking Maton?

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Hold on to your butts. It’s Maton time.

Give the kid a clean start to the next inning. After scoring 5 more. 

[tx 3 putt 76375]

yall keep talking shit about maton

[runthebone 7932]

What a sequence.  Pitch way outside called a strike.  Pitch further outside then hitter hits a pitch way inside.

[Scraps 13542]

Lol brown isn't even going to pitch tonight

My God Tucker. Give some freaking effort

They want to save him for a multi inning situation. This is a Neris/Stanek/Montero setup

Theme for tonight:

[Guadaloopy 10923]

Diaz would be awesome if this was an HR derby in a grain silo.

Correction: sub Abreu for Stanek. I don’t know why I keep forgetting about him. He’s been really good

[Guadaloopy 10923]

Abreu with command could be quite the weapon in October.  

[Guadaloopy 10923]

That was spectacular.  

[Scraps 13542]

Can Altuve push these fans shit in already plz

Am I having faith in Abreau, Neris, and Montero?

[HtownHorn 14487]

The Rays are now closer to the Yankees than the Yankees are to the Astros.

Damn it you beat me to it. Came here to post the same thing.

This surprises and excites me. I feel like Abreu is always struggling to find his command whenever I actually watch him pitch, but those numbers don't lie. Moar plz.

Guaranteed homer next inning

The AT&T crowd mics are horrendous in Anaheim. TV broadcast is unlistenable because all you hear is yelling at our guys and people’s conversations.

 

(and yes, I realize the irony as one who reads this thread because that basically what happens here).

Really want to see Alvarez on the 15 day DL

Agreed because 1) he needs the rest and 2) I'd love it if he were our two-way Ohtani. I bet he throws a mean splitter.

They keep changing rules on me. Get off my damn lawn! 

[Wulaw Horn 18980]

4810 wins

4811 losses. 
 

got to beat Ohtani tonight and we get back to even. 
my hope is after the end of this decade we are so far above 500 we will never go back again. 
What a time to be an Astros fan. This is a special special run.

I was there during most of building that losing record. Not from the very start, but from the late '60s on. It often felt like trying to summit the Matterhorn on skates. To have the run we're on these days seemed unthinkable not so long ago. Another title of course would be awesome, but in the bigger picture of things, I'm just glad I got to see the surge. 

[Snake Diggity 4614]

Abreu is a beast.  Gonna be a quality setup man for Houston for the next 5 years.
