That’s fun

[mrhorn 1376]

Put a blue star on that one!

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Nice play Peña 

[billfromlaketravis 11352]

So Correa’s arm, do we miss it? 

[Horn80 6074]

Their raging in NY now.  Sweet

[Sleepygrad 1029]

[StruggleBus 3922]

Yes

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

props to the scouts of the Astros organization for finding this gem.  I had no idea CC's replacement would be so f'n good, anticipated just an average SS, but my god the blessings continue and continue. 

[utxmike05 1825]

Holy shit that was a new play. What a cannon. 

[LTtxfan 48928]

Let's score more runs Astros !!! 💥

I wonder if they knew he would be this good right out the gate.  Damn. No wonder we didn't fight much to keep CC.

I assumed not. But if he does, hopefully a QS anyway. 

[YChang 3430]

Good to see that from Tuck

I have been thinking about this awhile and Pena's throws have gotten noticeably stronger as the year has gone by.  It was very underwhelming in the first half.  Not sure what caused the improvement, but I like it.  He's not bouncing every throw anymore.  Still not on Correa's level.

Nah man. No way. 
Remember how bad Springer was in the ALCS and Game 1 of the WS before going nuclear?  

Tucker should be bumped up to leadoff.

They’re not going to let him have a chance to give up 4 more runs which is what he would have to allow for this to not be a QS

Keep wearing out that bullpen Boone

[runthebone 7929]

Why is he pulling him?

 

 

[kevwun 15595]

Because he's Aaron Boone.

Sometimes I just wondered if he didn’t realize that a AAA throw won’t work in the big time. But his throws did start weak and have gotten better.

When the bullpen gives up runs, it's the relievers' fault.  When a starter gives up runs from the 6th inning on, it's because the manager should have already pulled him.

Go Astros

pina!

[cabowabo 4449]

Damn pitch clock can’t get here fast enough. 

[Macklemore 2898]

That fucking sucks

[YChang 3430]

Man it sucks how cold some of the bats are

[TexArcher 37455]

God fucking dammit shit

[HtownHorn 14446]

Stop playing Diaz. He's useless.

[utxmike05 1825]

Classic Stros post season LOB stats. 

[mrhorn 1376]

Son of a bitch

[tx 3 putt 76159]

Fuck 

[StruggleBus 3922]

Diaz lol

[cabowabo 4449]

I’d rather have Mancini playing than Diaz. He’s been complete dogshit. 

[David Dennison 18608]

Not ideal.

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

half the lineup is dead

[runthebone 7929]

Saw that coming when swung at that first pitch

[mrhorn 1376]

At this point you have to see what Mancini can do in that spot, no?

[Limp Brisket 546]

No runs with RISP still holding, that’s got to stop.

[Dnaguy 11740]

Diaz at bat was bad. Why is he hacking? Guy hadn’t made a pitch yet. Damn guys. What we doing?

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Just more bad hitting by Diaz. Really wish Hensley was getting some of these ABs. 

[WBT 20397]

Hardest ball Diaz has hit in a month

[mrhorn 1376]

Bregman did

[Sleepygrad 1029]

that was brutal
