This scrub offense has only been able to manage a field goal in each of the first 3 quarters.

[lilMAC25 3807]

Must look like a beach ball to ‘Tuve right now.

Both of these clowns talking about the development of the splitfinger and don't mention Mike Scott

Framber has been filthy to Seager tonight

[UTexasFight 9523]

At the game in a suite with my company as “guest of the rangers” and was told not to cheer for the Astros…..

guess how that’s going 

[Scraps 13570]

They are gonna plunk Altuve his next AB right?

[kevwun 15856]

You're gonna pull a Craig and get fired when you're not at work.

[We’reTexas 1473]

 

[Strat 149]

Altuve should walk to his next AB like that.

'Member when Wulaw said Altuve hadn't caught Biggio and Bagwell yet.

I 'member.

Bagwell and Biggio are bitch in the HOF. Altuve would not be if his career ended today. He has a couple more years of work to do. I absolutely expect he will get there. 

all time offensive WAR leaders for astros  - it gets worse for Jose when factoring in actual war  he’s 72% of the way there  I don’t think he has to pass those two in total counting numbers but he’s got to be closer than 30%, to me, to be considered the all time Astros greatest  it’s ok to disagree, but I don’t have some sort of odd or off the wall sentiment with this  I hope (think) by the time his career is over it will be a universal acclimation  

 

1.	Craig Biggio	76.2
2.	Jeff Bagwell	74.8
3.	Jose Altuve	55.1
4.	Lance Berkman	48.6
5.	Cesar Cedeno	48.3
6.	Jim Wynn	45.7
7.	Jose Cruz	41.0
8.	Joe Morgan	34.5
9.	Alex Bregman	32.7
10.	Bill Doran	29.1
	Bob Watson

He should pull out a big joint Altuve’s next at bat

I’m actually kinda angling for that.

And then bat lefty. And drag a bunt for a hit. 

[Mo Horn 8853]

Did Abreu pull up at the end there? Like he pulled his hammy?

Bring on Singleton, even the shitty Rangers bullpen might be too much for him.

Only thing he has a couple of is a couple more World Series. He’s the best ever already, I don’t care about the other stuff. He is just unfuckingbelievable, I literally love Jose Altuve. 

[UTexasFight 9523]

And turns out my co-worker next to me is a Maldy apologist….

I just can’t.

yep. This is how ~15 years at my company ends. Insubordination combined with co-worked assault. 

[Wulaw Horn 19147]

Interestingly  enough it looks like if Bregman extends the Astros Mt Rushmore would be Biggio Bagwell Bregman and Altuve.

I do too man. I also loved Biggio and really liked Bagwell. They are all different and all awesome. 
I’ve typed I literally love Jose Altuve 5 times in the last 8 innings.

Abreu still at 1st. Must have just been the way he was running.

The sunset at the stadium is amazing. Not a better AA ball field in the game.

 

AAAANNNNDDD it's going to be even better whenever TxDOT can figure a way to complete the new bridge.

I was going to argue this but just looked up his ranking on JAWS and now I agree with you.

I love that field, I’ve been to hs, college and of course AA games there. You haven’t lived until you’re at a south Texas hs game at Whataburger field, standing room only.

Someone tweeted that Diaz emplored guys to play better. See- he even does player meetings better than Maldonado.

What actually shocked me in a not good for Altuve case kind of way is his 7 peak seasons only has him as something like 15th or 20th best second baseman of all time. I’d have though his best 7 seasons would be top 10 type.

Damn

Get the tag on him and still a shutout because of lazy ass baserunning by Heim

[Dutchrudder 11150]

Hard to believe that we are on the Astros 30th at bat of the game and they only have 2 strikeouts, both of which were Maldy lol...

Reds have tied it up

Breggy not happy. And rightly so

[UTexasFight 9523]

We really need to knock Dunning out of this game 

[Rip76 4947]

Let’s go Reds.
