2022 Houston Astros Thread

[UTexasFight 9380]

Alright . I’ve bitched about posters bitching about the announcers.

but Brian just said he hopes we don’t go to robot umps because he wants catcher’s to still be able to fool umps with framing?!?!

Lot more curves than sliders v. the regular season from Lance

automated balls& strikes takes away framing?

That's a gotdam shame.   Just call the fucking pitch.

I think the Astros staff will somehow come through it ok...what with the absence of the bullshit pity calls by HPUs bestowing mercy upon opposing batters.

Nothing better than a good framing performance by a catcher.

A lot of the sabrmetric types love that shit too.  As teams have become aware of it and started to track and teach framing, the gap between the best and worst in the league has narrowed a lot.

[Wishbone 4738]

Noice!

[UTexasFight 9380]

99 pitches

got through 5

way to grind

 

get him a run or two, slam the door, and have all 4 of our starters walk away with a W this series 

[WBT 20420]

Good job Lance.  Some shitty luck, especially in the 1st and he'd be leaving with the lead if not for that passed ball.  Bats and bullpen need to bring this one home.

[Shaggy3.0 1695]

I cant get Roman Ready if the astros dont close the deal tonight.

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Don't want LMJ facing the top of that order again tonight. Let's get some runs. 

[Wishbone 4738]

Well, that sucked, Piña. Let’s GO!

[runthebone 7932]

That must hurt like a motherfucker

[HtownHorn 14486]

Lulz, Yuli. You don't have to swing at every 1st pitch you see.

Pretty sure he’s done.

[MirrOlure 14625]

But he’s such an old school player. Truly a joy to watch

[IDIOTsavant 8445]

This ump is dogshit.

[runthebone 7932]

How was his ERA 4?

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19093]

Just now, Wishbone said:

Yeah, that was either 99 or 100 pitches.

He walks people. If we didn't swing at a pitch in that inning the bases would have been loaded.

What the fuck was that!  Holy shit 

[Sleepygrad 1029]

They should say king of soft contact more

Rizzo digs in on the stripe of the batters box and gets accolades for getting HPB;  and Loaisiga pitches with run a foot inside the plate.

At a certain point you park on the plate, no?

Edited October 24, 2022 by slorch

[VirginiaLonghorn 4750]

Loaisiga has nasty stuff …

[runthebone 7932]

His ball is running out of the zone, with no glove side movement.  They should adjust if they send him out for the 7th

Stros close out tonight

Yes. Every Astros that came to the plate would have been hit by a pitch in that inning.

He’s throwing 100. The part of the order you’d consider doing that with just went down. I’m not getting anybody hit in the hand up 3-0.

We have our own soft hit pitcher.

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19093]

Get this douchebag out.

I fucking hate this guy. Fuuuuuccckkkk.

Edited October 24, 2022 by PenelopeWitherspoon

[HtownHorn 14486]

Why would the Astros need a lefty, the Yankees only have Rizzo that plays everyday.

[Limp Brisket 546]

Fuck

[Wishbone 4738]

Well, that sucks.

[Guest]

No doubter.

Sumbeech.

[HtownHorn 14486]

Less than ideal.

[UTEX_ME 4754]

Astros letting a midget with a fucking mouth guard beat them 

[WBT 20420]

That little fucker is starting to piss me off.

Also, since when is the 2nd row a no doubter?

[cabowabo 4453]

Meatball. 

[utxmike05 1825]

Hate Bader. But their leadoff is getting it done. 

[HtownHorn 14486]

Maldonado has to be better than that.

[Guest]

Fall ball in NYC sounds cold AF.

When he hit it, there was zero doubt it was gone.

if you say so

[Wishbone 4738]

Would love to close it tonight (or asap) but anyone that thinks we drop this series is dreaming. I still think we close it out before coming home.

[VirginiaLonghorn 4750]

I’m hoping the gal behind home plate flashes her tits 

[mrhorn 1376]

Time to get that run back and take the lead for good

Evidence says it was fucking gone.

Ok then. Stupidly focused on the wrong thing (the game). Will have to shift said focus based on pertinent info.
