2023 Houston Astros Thread

Are we ever going to win a game again at MMP? Unreal

[Smax 3800]

Lazy batting pena

[Scraps 13577]

Dumb

[TexArcher 38069]

Whoa, thank you Oakland and Tampa for making sure this shitshow didn't hurt as much as it could've.

Maybe let's not suck tomorrow, yeah?

Snell throws 103 pitches in 6 innings...has some kind of 3-ball count again and again...and escapes with just 3 walks and 2 runs. We not only don't make him pay for being under 60 percent on strikes, we fan 8 times. He's really good, but you have to punish an ace when he's having control trouble. 

Then again, it's sort of moot if your own staff is getting curbstomped.

Umm. This is snell’s season in a nutshell.

Take a look at who the NL leader is in walks and ERA

But yeah, frustrating the offense we just saw in Arlington couldn’t crack that nut

Sorry just re-read the post about only drawing 3 walks. Yeah. Annoying. Diaz swung at 2 ball 4’s when we still had a chance to get back in this before his hard lineout to short. But who knows if Maldy would have hit next if he had walked

[Hornsbay22 470]

League leader in walks and we swing at every pitch in the dirt.  Brown blows, his balls are way out of zone and strikes are fat. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Would have been nice to gain a game on everyone tonight. I hate being thankful that others lose. But another game closer to the finish line. Would like to have a 4 or 5 game lead when we go to Seattle.

Snell's stuff of course has always been elite. We showed good patience, but when he did throw it over the plate we couldn't hit it. Add a little bad luck, such as on the Diaz liner, and that's all she wrote. Hopefully tomorrow ends better.

Got fat and happy off Rangers horrible pitching and thinking it was the new normal. Now it's back to reality.

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

give up 11 , blame the batters. 

[Rockethorn1978 6102]

Hunter brown needs to be in the bullpen come playoff time. He’s been horrible.

[Dutchrudder 11151]

So I'm going to the game tomorrow with a 2 and 4 year old. I don't expect them to make it past the 4th inning, but does anyone have any advice or suggestions on things for the kids to do? Should we get there early to let them "run the bases"? Any "Kid Zone" type places we should check out? 

[Jshep34 2321]

Unfortunately there is no kid zone at mmp. Run the bases is after the game has ended.

[Shaggy3.0 1695]

I accept blame for last night's performance.  I took a MILF out on a date.  Like the Stros, I underperformed.  Shame!

Today will be better.  Astros reclaim MMP.

Baseball players are pussies. 25 years old and pitches once a week, rarely if ever touches 100 pitches and fatigued? Give me a fucking break. Man the fuck up.

I'm sure some of y'all already saw this. That team is soft and this dumbass saying that publicly is an indictment of their manager and the leaders in the clubhouse.

These kids today.

Every lineup card is just a fucking troll job. WTF?

[Fudge Nuggets 19224]

I’m watching Mets v Twins and Cohen / Darling we’re talking about the George Kirby comments.  Correa was at bat and they added he said he disagreed with Kirby and if he was at least 50% he would always play.  That’s not how I remember his days in Houston at all.  Dude was always hurt and seemed to take days off at a very high rate.

Time for covid restrictions to come back to MLB. All remaining games must be played at Globe Life Field.  😂

Pretty sure that was my exact facial expression. I remember in 2019 when fan frustration was high he had a quote along the lines of “If I’m not 100% I’m not playing.”. 50% < 100% I do believe.

Maybe Chas eats because he's sad when he doesn't get to play?

When we have to play in the first round or miss the playoffs entirely, remember how frequently the manager refused to play his best players.

Seattle scores 3 in the top of the 1st

You’re not wrong and that was my issue with him too-  yeah you’re great, elite even; but not if you aren’t on the field. 
 

That being said, he has 2 forever passes with me and I cannot hate him: 1) being the face of the Astros during the bullshit and 2) Joe Kelly bomb

[UTexasFight 9528]

Don’t show Chas.

Fortunately, with him and Diaz out of the lineup, the odds of getting 3 runs is much lower.

It’s too bad they chose tucker’s stance instead of Chas’

[WBT 20669]

Rays have cut the lead to 4-3

[Scraps 13577]

Luke Weaver probably didn't want to go out there another inning

4-4 tie rays/Ms

[David Dennison 18947]

5-4 Rays.

[Scraps 13577]

Dumbass 3B with an error that is making the 8th shaky.

1st and 3rd 2out

[David Dennison 18947]

5-5

[Scraps 13577]

Walk off Rays

[UTexasFight 9528]

Weeeeee

Saucedo wishes he wasn't out there for the 9th tbh

He’s good in my book as well.  I just found it funny how his past injury history is now being swept under the rug.

[UTexasFight 9528]

No posts and we’re three innings in?

some other game going on I don’t know about?
