2023 Houston Astros Thread

[Wulaw Horn 18917]

Diaz over 800 ops. 

[cabowabo 4381]

Lol.  We're in big fucking trouble with this bullpen.

[Dutchrudder 10974]

Just setting up for the triple play...

[Scraps 13465]

Seriously have to go to fucking closer. Stanek needs a kick to the dick....repeatedly

[WBT 20133]

Stanek doing Pressly a solid making this a save opportunity.

Should have gone with Montero imo.

[Wulaw Horn 18917]

Stanek helping Presley out getting him a save situation. Teamwork makes the dream work.

Maldy is at .541

.5

[tx 3 putt 74778]

Never a doubt 

[elfenix 34001]

Astros win!

[WBT 20133]

0.5 back.  

Could be in sole possession by this time tomorrow.  If CWS have enough players left to field a team.

[Overlord 366]

I got an idea. How about Maldy for the janitor in Section 101 at Fenway Park?

We can throw in some cash too.

gain a game a week, 8 weeks left 

[tx 3 putt 74778]

Pena, Bregman, Abreu, Julks 0 for 13 

they’ll pick it up next game 

[The Dog 42765]

 

[rvm96 1643]

Yankees scratched German as their starter due to discomfort in his armpit or something and then he pitched 5 innings in relief in the same game he was supposed to start. I would love to see the reaction to our medical staff in here if that happened to the Astros. 

[tx 3 putt 74778]

60 Wins before august, it’s what we do

[txduck87 972]

Two straight walks for Peña will keep his ops above .660 for another day.  If it gets to .650, Bregman needs to rescind his parking privileges.

Or worse, force him to eat his salsa.

You don't understand, as a casual fan, how that janitor prepares.  He makes all the ushers and vendors around him better.  Yes, there is shit all over the floor in the bathroom, and he keeps dropping trash all over the place, but it is his intangibles that are so valuable.

[Gourmand 7761]

why didn't they have Graveman up to pitch the ninth in case Stanek shit the bed like he actually shit the bed?

Moreso Boone looks like a dumber fuck than he already does

Maldy is jv’s man. Hell, maldy is about to get a one year deal if we trade for jv 

[Gourmand 7761]

 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

This is probably true. And it’s enough to make me not want JV.

Guess we should have traded Maldy for Scherzer.

I can get on board with this

CCR “who’ll stop the…” mixed with some song with “wave” in the lyrics

This is how you lose series.

Pressly was up until we got up 5. Then sat down. Then had to get back up and clean up stanek’s mess

baseball rules say we will have a save opportunity later in this series or week where Pressly won’t be available.

Because Graveman pitched in that shitshow Sunday 

[UTexasFight 9288]

OF Player A: 3 for his last 44

OF Player B: 2 for his last 44

 

Spoiler

A: Julks

B: Springer

And somehow both of these are Dusty’s fault.

Dude you are one negative mf.  Such a beating.  How can this be enjoyable for you.

It’s simple. I have a sense of humor and I can regulate my interest levels. You are on the spectrum and probably an accountant, lawyer or actuary. You don’t know how to lighten up or calibrate concerns between a weekday game and the 7th game of a world series. That’s your problem. I’m enjoying the season.

His walk to strikeout rare has spiked in the wrong direction in A+. He's obviously young for the level though so its understandable.

All 3 of the lefty outfielders from the 2022 draft are looking good. Have to hand it to Click on that one.

I wouldn’t say 200k posts on surly is “regulating your interest levels” but wtf would I know, I’m an autistic lawyer.

Prediction: at around 3:30, we hear that the Mets have decided to keep Verlander. Everyone on the internet freaks out. Shortly after the deadline, it is revealed that we landed him, for a price that is more than many expected. Everyone on the internet freaks out again.

[cabowabo 4381]

We ain't gonna end up with shit. And Maldonado and Jake are starting tonight.
