I'm going to have to say this again...

Do y'all remember 6 months ago? Do you remember April?

The Mariners beat the Astros in Seattle a couple of times...  badly. 

SurlyMonkeys started flinging poo against the glass...  

"OmG, DuStY cAnT eVn Fi11 oUt a LiNEup CarD!"

"ThIs tEAm NEVER hiTs for VeRLAnder!!!!"

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHhhhh, I want my Mommy...."

SnacksInSlacks: Chill, Honey Bunny.

Surly: NO MOTHAFUCKER, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!!! WE'RE TWO WEEKS IN AND WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!

Slacks: These dudes are going to run away with the AL.  Chill. There was no preseason.

SURLY: GOTDAAMIT!!!! PRESEASON DOESNT MATTER! ONLY DUSTY! KILL HIM!

October 11: "Yaaaaaaaaaaay!"

This postseason has become more sentimental for me and my wife's family.  My father in law is the biggest Astros fan I know.  He watches every game without fail, even DVRing them if he can't watch liv

There is a lot of talk about the series being over, but man, it's baseball. This could galvanize them or it could be the thing that causes them to roll over and die.  I personally don't think it affects the rest of the series, as I'm a big believer in momentum is todays starting pitcher.  

Right?  Remember how the Astros were completely broken after G3 of the ALCS last year?

Well that was a fun game.  

Right when I saw Robbie Ray coming out I looked at my buddies and told them.....this is how you get fired.   Idiotic move by dildo breath Servais.  

Keep pulling those moves doofus.

Cool.  Other people on other sites with alleged insight say that the FO takes a much more hands on approach to lineup construction, pen usage and the like.  It's well known throughout tons of organizations that managers have scripts they follow as the game plays out.  But yeah, the Astros, the most analytically driven team out there, are probably letting Dusty go YOLO in the the post season based upon whatever dreams he might have had the night before (actual confirmation from the Athletic article earlier this month) or how his Matza ball soup is affecting his gut. The fact that it looks completely different than the regular season couldn't have anything to do with different people giving different input.  Ignore your eyes. Ignore other teams.   Ignore the fact that it looks completely different.  You are probably totally right.

Think alot of the negative comments in April stems from being Houston sports fans for past 30+ years. As Reid Ryan said in 2017 world series kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. Alot of us are battered from decades of disappointment.

We didn’t have to manage game #148 like a playoff game. The regular season was a marathon for us, not a sprint. We never had to go into grind mode during the regular #162. 
 

we are now on sprint mode. Every game is do or die. Players must execute

Of course not.  But what about Dusty, I love to lean on veterans and guys I trust, would make you believe he would take out his kids workout partner Dubon in favor of a rookie with 29 AB's.  I can pretty much guarantee that decision was made for him.  Along with Hunter Brown.  He was pissed and said as much about Smith being left off the roster and not having a LHP.

Most people outside of Houston assumed the Astros were done when Pujols bukkaked Brad Lidge.

One game at a time.  Don’t let up.

Technically they were because it goat fucked our WS rotation having to pitch Roy O in St Louis for gm 6 rather than in Chicago in gm 1.

That whole series plays out differently if we didn't have to send the geezers out in the frigid cold of Chicago.

Friendly reminder that we just did to the Mariners what the Yankees did to us twice this year when they never had a lead coming up to bat and then walked off winners despite having their asses kicked for 8 1/2 innings. 

We're gonna have to play much better from the first pitch tomorrow or the pesky Mariners could make us pay.

 

(fuck these off days, got me all nervous again after coming down from last night's 15-hr high.)

Man, they sure were and imo their performances under pressure are a testament to the standards of excellence and preparation from the Astros developmental structure. 

I honestly can't decide which guy deserves more credit. Hensley's 8-pitch at bat was very impressive for a guy making his postseason debut and Pena slapping a two-strike slider into center field to keep the train moving was equally impressive.

The players need to think that way but we don’t.

mariners are toast

only question is what number we decide to stop at in game 3 in Seattle 

12-3 sounds about right.

Big Man is one of the hardest hitters baseball has ever seen. Looking at statcast, 118mph exit velocity is the upper limit for humans - guys like Judge, Trout and Stanton do that. One Pirate hit 122 this year on a lower level line drive.  Wish this was available in the old days, I'd bet that Bo Jackson would get 125mph.
