2022 Houston Astros Thread

[Rockethorn1978 6,203]

I’ve told everyone I know I don’t see any team beating us 4 times in a series with our pitching staff and I’m standing by that. But if we lose tonight I was just kidding.

players need to execute, every play at this point of the season.

 

take away two plays from last night and we win easily 

Dont run your dumbass ace back out there when he is clearly on the Struggle Bus

I was OK with him starting the fifth inning, but I was perplexed as to why he was allowed to finish it.

Hey @Fudge Nuggets At least you have enough self-awareness to know that you were one of those that I was referring to.

Stros are going to win tonight. How do I know? Driving my son’s old wheels, tuned into regular FM radio, and “carry on my wayward son” comes on. From back in my early high school days, when we’d be on the road at 4:00 am (skipping morning classes) to go goose hunting, tuned into classic rock…if that song came on, we had an epic hunt. Never failed. Over the years, it turned into a harbinger of an epic day, of all varieties: horns win, good fishing, all that.
Kansas came blasting over the air this morning - it is done.

Agreed. Dusty is too nice and should have pulled his Starter that has WS Yips.  But I put that on the offense to get back the lead. They had the 5th thru 9th and couldn't get 1 run off of THEIR bullpen. Embarrassed at home again. 
 

Welp. Let's fukin win 4 in a row. Fuk philly. 

[ChickenSandwich 9,921]

[Gut Wagon 8,214]

I'm looking for Valdez to be solid. Need to get to Wheeler for an early run or two and then grind out a win. Thinking our Cubans lead the way on offense tonight.

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Diaz in LF

No Mancini is great but Diaz sucks dick too so kind of a wash.

So what is the breakdown in this year's playoffs at this point? 

Verlander has give up 12 runs in 15 innings and the rest of the staff has given up 13 runs in ~67 innings? 

It fucking hurts my heart

that's why I'm optimistic for the next 3 games although Wheeler tonight is nails.  Valdez is our guy, let's roll.

Astros are now 3-10 all-time in the World Series at home, being outscored 80-50. They've lost seven of their last eight at home, outscored 51-25.

good breakdown, sad but true. 

[Nicole44 22,206]

I wish the Astros all the luck. Last game I attended for them was 2004. My dad bought me this cap. I’d freak if I lost it. They’ll win tonite. I won’t post again unless they win the series. 

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19,279]

Shout out to Pinkerton's on the pre-game.

This.  The shit in the 4th was lucky.  Then, once he couldn't get it together in the 5th, you have to go to the bullpen.  

[Mitch Hedberg 2,117]

Game 2 haiku. First time it didn’t work last night but screw it its 7-1

Phillies Wheels come off
Astros rebound in game two 
Fuck all the haters

[TexArcher 38,816]

I am ready for the big W.

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19,279]

Smotlz sucks.

[TexArcher 38,816]

Bigger douchenozzle: Bryce Harper or John Smoltz?

[Gut Wagon 8,214]

I want a win. I'd love for us to dominate on the mound, in the field and at the plate, but at this point I mainly just want a win. Let's go.

Their parents who didn’t smother them when they had the chance.

[WBT 20,886]

Why is Fox's camera set up by the homerun pump?  It wasn't this far off center last night.

[Rockethorn1978 6,203]

Guess we’re gonna throw to Harper every time. I’d walk him.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Damn 22 pitches thru 1 is not ideal but it’s still 0-0

[TexArcher 38,816]

That'll do, Framber.

Let's get him a lead.

[Horn80 6,313]

Might Mouse returns!

[Limp Brisket 549]

They are locked in.  Not letting Wheeler get comfortable is clutch.
