2022 Houston Astros Thread

[Amos Moses 795]

Best lineup if we want nothing out of the DH spot. 

I mean, it’s fair to say Yordan is slumping, but a nothing? Man back up from the edge …

2nd World Series in a row that he’s slumped

Meant that as we need Hensley back in the lineup, and that means having him at DH. Diaz should be the one grabbing some pine...next to Mancini. 

[Amos Moses 795]

Sure - that’s reasonable. One hit is a low bar though and he looked pretty overmatched after that to be honest.

Hensley's 1 for 4 in the postseason, plus that huge walk in the Game 1 rally over Seattle. Mancini and Diaz are a combined 1-for-35 in the postseason. Not sure why we'd be eager to get either of them back out there. But since Diaz is starting, I hope he goes 4-4 with 6 RBIs tonight.

Hensley is the obvious choice for DH.. he got a hit and got deep into counts last night. 

Javier is an extreme flyball pitcher.

Diaz is starting because he’s our best defensive left field option at this point (not named dubon…let’s not get crazy here)

 

[tx 3 putt 76351]

I have a little faith Diaz can still do something at the plate. Zero faith in Dubon and mancini 

[Updawg 2261]

Let’s win this and make it a 3 game series

Can y'all keep me updated?  Fucking Swiss goes out of T1, so no Centurion Lounge.  I'm just now headed to the airport.  No reason to hang around and wait.

Seismologists say the city of Philadelphia physically moved when Harper homered last night. That only reinforces my thoughts about their shoddy stadium stuffed with obese Blutos.

This series could and should be 2-1 Astros, the Astros outplayed Philly the first two games, they've been in more postseason games than any other team in MLB the last seven years or so and y'all pussies think this shit is even close to over?

Philly needs two more, we need three.

Stros in 7.

I mean we said that last year and lost in 6. I’ll change my cranky tone when we score more than 4 fucking runs a game all postseason. So would be nice for them to play better and not me have a better attitude dad!

but I like your enthusiasm and I’m with you.

We’ve scored more than 4 runs in 5 out of 10 postseason games and I haven’t noticed a change in your crankiness.

I want a win. Let's light this candle.

Out of the service area…

mlb at bat app is absurdly behind and unusable.

i just signed up for a 7 day free trial on tune in. We’ll see if it’s synced up any better.

At Bat has been terrible ever since they partnered with Audacy.  Huge lag and you have to restart the feed often.  

[UTEX_ME 4754]

Top of the order just lost at the plate. Not good.

If you can't score, it doesn't matter who is playing defense. You need offense right now.

[Macklemore 2870]

Yes let’s go!!!

I’m becoming more convinced that Smoltz has no fucking idea what he’s talking about.

Opposite field hits are needed. Bregman is so fucking slow.

[Harrison Stafford 3325]

In last year’s ALCS, Boston, at home, had a 2-1 lead and commentators were hyping the Sox.  Houston won games 4 and 5 in Boston and went on to win the ALCS in 6 games. We win tonight, we flip the series

Much better than 2 swings, 2 outs.

20 pitches in the 1st

[TexArcher 37508]

Welp, 20-pitch innings will get him out of here in 5 at most, then we'll gang bang that bullpen of theirs.

Let's put up some zeroes.

Tune in app is a full minute behind OTA TV…and mlb at bat is even further behind that.
So frustrating

Oh, let's miss a play so we can show a graphic about how amazing a Phillie is.

That’s the first ‘chase’ I’ve seen in a while from the Phillies.
