2022 Houston Astros Thread

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

That was a tough pitch for third strike. Hope that doesn’t send Jake into a spiral. His demeanor has been better since he came back

[Guadaloopy 10922]

If we can't fight off pitches on the outside corner, it's going to be a tough day.

I know the bases will be bigger, but will they be closer to the plate? How big will they be?

No shift next year.  That will be a single up the middle next year.  Two infielders on each side of second base and they have to be standing in the infield cutout.

Vasquez should be DH when Maldo is C and Diaz playing OF

Yordan ground force and Tucker’s non- airmail shots are gonna More than make up the difference Astros opponents get on the shift Going away.

Ah, gotcha. I thought you were referring to the base size change. Thanks ...

ETA: But he started the play on the edge of the dirt/grass and was on the right side of 2nd.

So are benching Yordan or Tucker because Diaz isn’t a centerfielder. 

[WBT 20420]

Framber at 35 pitches and Castillo at 37 through 3 IP.

[TexArcher 37508]

Altuve, you sick little bastard!

[Guadaloopy 10922]

Yuli is so damn good on the scoop.

So when you want to pinch run for Machete you are giving up the DH spot???

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Think I would have taken a mound visit there. Framber seems to be frustrated. 

[WBT 20420]

Good time for a dp

Next year that's gonna be a hit and a run scored.

 

he was well on the 2nd base side and maybe one step in the grass

[Macklemore 2870]

Come on Framber don’t fall behind on these hitters 

[WBT 20420]

Peña should have been out there for that carom.  Correa was always good at reading those.

I feel like that's something Correa picked up over the years but I could be wrong

[Jebus 1300]

Come on, framber

[Rockethorn1978 6061]

Good lord it’s amazing how fast he has lost control

[cabowabo 4453]

Lucky as hell to get an out there.

[Rockethorn1978 6061]

What a shitty inning for Valdez. World beater to wtf in 2/3 of a inning.

[WBT 20420]

Good bank shot, it ended up as if Framber just took the out at 1st.  Catch your breath and get out of it.

[Jebus 1300]

Framber needs a minute to chill, gotta get out of this inning here

Actually 2 runs now.

[Rockethorn1978 6061]

Sweet. Let’s keep him in longer as he’s lost control and getting raked.

[Jebus 1300]

Well at least he threw a first pitch strike

Lulz, he's fine and will go 6 or 7.

Discombobulated. But we're still in good shape.

I still believe in him. You make it sound like he gave up a grand slam or something

First time?

 

 

Framber always has an inning like this.

sometimes it’s the first, sometimes it’s the 8th. Today, it’s right in the middle

Yeah that's what I saw.

[WBT 20420]

Someone explain to me why there's an error on that play?  Who advanced a base they wouldn't have?

[Guadaloopy 10922]

We're fine.

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Sweet. Let’s keep him in longer as he’s lost control and getting raked.

You are a clown.

[Wulaw Horn 18980]

Welp, was hoping 1 would be enough. Guess not. Let’s go get 4 here fellas.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

There you go, Pena. 

[WBT 20420]

Way to be rook.  Get him over and get him in.

[tx 3 putt 76370]

here we go !
