2023 Houston Astros Thread

[Dnaguy 11964]

The history lesson and connections between Astros crew and hip-hop is exactly everything baseball is.

 

I love this fucking game so much. Literally no other sport can give you that. Tony Romo, eat your heart out.

Cricket commentators have lots of free time to bring up some great stories / tell jokes as well.

Here's Aussie commentator Kerry O'Keefe doing the classic Norm McDonald frog walks into a bank joke during a test match.  While he was telling the joke three or four bowls (pitches) were thrown.

Better odds on GIDP.  Or infield fly rule... whatever.

Man, Maldonado is so good today that he didn't even hit into a DP so Altuve could hit again.

Team player.

[Harrison Stafford 3335]

12 of our 15 hits have come from the bottom of the lineup.  Did not see that coming.

[Scraps 13561]

Damn

[WBT 20572]

Warm up Odo!

[Scraps 13561]

Oh shit. 

 

Full ass jokes (set up and punch line. Not just inside joke shit) during game play. I might have to throw our British (and by extension the penal colony who couldn't throw off their oppressor Aussies) forefathers a bone here.

 

(I did actually lol as 1.) that was ridiculous 2.) it took forever and 3.) there was an actual game going 4.) It was funny!)

Loved Billy D.  Might have to break out my customized rainbow sleeve #19 Doran jersey

[Scraps 13561]

I know alot of people liked Davis, but Doran was my dude. First Astros player that I would say was my favorite.

[runthebone 7982]

How bad was it to Maton?  Stopped watching

Pegged in lower back. Didn't seem horrible but taken out

[Guadaloopy 10971]

Singleton’s response when someone asks how many RBIs he had tonight:

 

[Scraps 13561]

Damn that may have been one of, if not the, easiest game of the season.

More of those

[WBT 20572]

Good win.  Hope Money Maton is ok.

It's baseball in 2023.  A moth farted on a player, so they come out.

Come the fuck on...

[runthebone 7982]

Ohtani must be so pumped the Angels were buyers to impress him.

I always told my Aussie buddies, "Oh that's right, you couldn't afford a real revolution."

I really miss those extra 6 games against the Angels (and A’s.  And M’s)

[perfectchaos007 6642]

Fuck the unwritten rules preachers, Singleton’s bat flip game is exceptional.

[perfectchaos007 6642]

Fucking aggy pitcher for SF just gave up back to back homers to Texas

[Mez2 4023]

Singleton is totally going to Korean baseball bat flip a foul ball at some point this year, and I am going to crack up.

[APMP 688]

First game back for JV and Jonny Moonshot. Fireworks during. Fireworks after. Great night at the ballpark.

[Dutchrudder 11139]

We are really lucky the Angels didn't trade Ohtani and Trout for a boatload of good prospects so they won't be good for another 10 years.

Altuve hit meter - 1990

If Houston doesn’t acquire a bat and doesn’t feel the need to carry a 3rd catcher, I think Singleton should be the 13th position player on the playoff roster as a lefthanded bench bat who represents a real HR threat every time he comes up.  And how dope of a storyline would it be for him to hit a game winning extra inning HR in the Series.

Well god damn I didn’t know it was like that tho.

Same difference

Happy for Singleton. Happy we have JV back. Happy we’re winning. That is all.

I didn't call him a pussy, nor did I say it was his decision.

It just gets old seeing baseball be so fragile.

Do you think Nolan Ryan is coming out of the game?   Fuck no.

[Mo Horn 8841]

Sounds like I shouldn't have been busy last night and miss watching the game. 

[Guest]

Now they are saying the comebacker hit Maton on the inner side of his pitching elbow.

I'll just put myself in timeout on this thread.

Apologies for the hubris.
