2022 Houston Astros Thread

Ripped that shit.

[tx 3 putt 76,389]

slappy !

[WBT 20,422]

110.4 mph for Yordan.  If he can just elevate one of those the surly docs may decide not to amputate after all.

[WBT 20,422]

BABIP unkind for both sides so far.  .510 and .650 xBA for Altuve and Bregman.  .830 and .600 for Lowe and Garcia.  Only Yordan broke through with his .890.

[runthebone 7,932]

Ready to dfa Maton.

[Guest]

Blair Witch camera work on that last out.  damn.

 

Hunter Brown looks better than average...

[Gut Wagon 8,052]

Kid's thrown only a couple balls per inning so far.  Concern troll can stay under the bridge. 

[HtownHorn 14,487]

I still can't believe he was #71 on the midseason prospect list. It's ridiculous how the Astros get absolutely no respect for their ability to develop.

Going to make the Verlander decision very interesting in the offseason. It's tough, when you have to sign Tucker and 3 or 4 of the Latin Connection, while also looking at upgrades at 1B and CF.

Boot up the robot ump.

[Guest]

Others have said it, but gotdam, Ted's gonna bat .500 next season with no shift.

[WBT 20,422]

18 of 22 strikes so far is awesome.  Definitely not scared.

[tx 3 putt 76,389]

windmill warming up for the playoffs !

[WBT 20,422]

 

[runthebone 7,932]

Running on Machete?  Haha, dumbass.

[Scraps 13,542]

Leslie gunned down

[Guest]

geeze that was beautiful

[kevwun 15,653]

That had to be a perfect throw and it was.

Remember when I said Brown was absolutely and utterly untradeable?  I feel pretty good about that sentiment right now. 
I’m still willing to listen to the right deal for Bregman if he ups his trade value enough. The utter lack of respect both in the industry and from other teams for Astros prospects is mind numbingly stupid.

I'm glad they don't see the actual value.  If Stros keep harvesting pitchers from their own bounty, then fuck the other putos.

Glad they are still in the fold.

[Wulaw Horn 18,981]

I don’t care about what happens the rest of this start or any other start. He needs to be on the post season roster and needs to be the bridge guy when he’s there. Javier needs to be in the rotation not fucking around in the bullpen.  This kid is really good. 

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1,549]

what a blessing, Yuli's defense.  Bregs on the hot corner ain't bad either. Machete with the Johnny Bench arm. 

This is a damn good defensive ballclub.

The home plate ump has been really really good tonight.

Clutch fastball there.

[Limp Brisket 546]

Give this kid some run support now.

[tx 3 putt 76,389]

Great debut, pull him 

[Gut Wagon 8,052]

Impressive debut, to say the least. Not just great stuff but great moxie. 

[CycleTex87 2,954]

I’m buying Hunter Brown futures for sure. 

[Chuckie Finster 22,600]

Can’t believe they let him face the top of the order again, but I’m glad they did. Attaboy kid.

[UTexasFight 9,380]

Bregs eye is so damn good 

[UTexasFight 9,380]

Brown take a B(r)ow(n) now 

[runthebone 7,932]

I know you're tired, Perez.  Tired of getting all of these bullshit strike calls.

[tx 3 putt 76,389]

Ballsy 

[Limp Brisket 546]

Safe

[TexArcher 37,518]

Yeah, he's safe.

[tx 3 putt 76,389]

He’s safe 

[UTexasFight 9,380]

Best hitter.

and worst baserunner in team history 

[kevwun 15,653]

I will be pleasantly surprised if they actually overturn it.

[TexArcher 37,518]

Even the Rangers' broadcasters are admitting that it's close, so he's 100% safe.

[Scraps 13,542]

Altuve.....

[UTexasFight 9,380]

He’s out 

[David Dennison 18,658]

What's the point of replay?

[Limp Brisket 546]

Lol

[Dennis Taylor 18,706]

God damn that's awful 

[TonyTexas 10,482]

With Altuve’s baserunning sometimes you get chicken shit, sometimes you get chicken salad. 

[Limp Brisket 546]

Such bullshit

[cabowabo 4,453]

Just dumb. 

[kevwun 15,653]

The angle from first base made it look like he might have tagged him first.

[tx 3 putt 76,389]

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
