2023 Houston Astros Thread

[Mo Horn 8899]

Another stellar at bat by Myers. He fucking sucks. 

[Scraps 13598]

Hold on to yer butts

[Guadaloopy 11039]

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

Julks with a very good game , 2-3, single / double, 2 runs scored and a nice snag in Left. 

[David Dennison 19119]

Always an adventure.

[Rip76 4986]

Peña is a fucking dog!

[Limp Brisket 546]

Pressley’s control sucks ass.

[Mo Horn 8899]

Just can't make it easy, can you Presley?

[Mo Horn 8899]

All standing, as the camera shows everyone sitting behind home plate

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Nothing easy

[David Dennison 19119]

Cool.

[Scraps 13598]

Wait....we are allowed to win?

[tx 3 putt 77925]

 

[Mo Horn 8899]

Not the prettiest save, but I'll take it

[Rip76 4986]

This, for some reason feels like a momentum swinging game for the rest of the season.

Unfortunately, 2 run game = Pressly = extra innings = loss.

Never in doubt!

[WBT 20742]

Great start by Framber when the team needed it

[Guadaloopy 11039]

Sorry JV.  Wear that L.  

[Rimbo 26430]

GOOD LUCK, FUCKERS

Aces stop skids

2 hitting coaches and Brian McCann called Bregman and told him to adjust his setup. 5x12 with a double, triple, and HR.

 

Which leads me to my next point, if Brian McCann wants a job in coaching I'd hire him tomorrow.

he's not putting down the weed or booze to show up to any job

Jake Meyers' slump reaches 0-for-20.

I believe you are thinking of Gattis

[Gourmand 7774]

Can't win ten in a row like the Cincinnati Reds (!!!) without winning one in a row first.

Frambler is the one game elixir.  

[Guadaloopy 11039]

Pressly would probably pitch better if you jabronis could spell his name.

I'm fine just DFAing him. 

if we dfa’d Jake, then called someone up to take his spot……then the new guy gets at bats….

 

the surly Astro thread…….

Let's just hope Brantley is ruled out for the season before the trade deadline.

The ruling is a differentiating factor?

I thought someone who hasn't done jack shit in over a year would make a difference./ c'mon Bags.

[WBT 20742]

The Rangers and Angels lost.  Two more weeks like last night and we'll be sitting pretty.

[Pablo 495]

Sat field level on 1st base side and had a good time.  5-0 on games I’ve attended this year.  Of course 2 of them were the A’s, so that barely counts, but still great to be at the juice box for a W. 

[Mez2 4036]

Kid who caught Breggys homerun ball yesterday is on my son's baseball team, was his 10th birthday yesterday and brought a sign that said "its my 10th birthday,  hit me a homerun" and his favorite player hit one to him. Our baseball family thread was blowing up yesterday...such a good family. Baseball is weird like that, next thing you know we're gonna fuck around and turn this shit around.

[Jshep34 2381]

Saw that on yalls ig page @Mez2 . Awesome story and day for that kid

[BornOrange 1441]

Mattress Mack (or the Astros) should give the kid and his dad season tickets.

[UTPhil2006 3828]

In talking with @Ldogg53 this morning about todays/lineups in general.  We were thinking out of 74 games, maybe Dusty had used 40 different lineups.  Seemed high as an initial guess.

63.  Sixty three different lineups through 74 games, surely to be 64/75 here in a few hours.  Some of that can be attributed to injury but it's a lot of jerking Pena around, fucking with 6-9 nightly, and then not choosing a consistent OF.   We started off the season with 17 different lineups, then used the same lineup 4 of 5 games.  We went 4-1 in those games vs the Jays and Braves.

It's almost as if consistency works.  🤬

[tx 3 putt 77925]

Astros-Dodgers probables at Dodger Stadium:

Friday: J.P. France vs. Emmet Sheehan

Saturday: Ronel Blanco vs. Bobby Miller

Sunday: Hunter Brown vs. Tony Gonsolin

losing garcia and urquidy are the biggest reason we are were we are. Garcia’s last two starts were very good and urquidy eats innings with quality

That hurts, but our biggest issues have been on the offensive side. Abreu sucking was not part of the plan.

[tx 3 putt 77925]

This guy is high AF, Abreu ???

[tx 3 putt 77925]

Good stuff for the framchise ….

 

[tx 3 putt 77925]

[tx 3 putt 77925]

Swap Yordan for Julks and we have our best line up. 
 

hit Yordan 3rd, swap bregman and dubon (maybe)

Any mention of 1980 JR Richard gives me the sads.

[UTPhil2006 3828]

Better score 10 runs so my justification of taking Abreu out is warranted

Same, he was a hell of a talent

be sure to start your ‘Julks’ rant before every at bat today. We might see a multi hr game out of him !
