My mom is here visiting from Texas and we had dinner reservations. Just as we left they went up 4-2. Was following at dinner. Holy shit, Altuve is a God. Let's do it again next game and finish it.

Add in Kessinger.

I'm finally over the Altuve bunt for a hit attempt, did we win?

[cabowabo 4484]

Best thing about Altuve is how he just rounds the bases. No bullshit showing up the pitcher, or flashing stupid signs to the dugout. All business.

[Paul Wesley 3278]

Just as a reminder here:

Garcia hit a 3-run shot, does about as much showboating as you're ever going to see.  Stands forever in batter's box.  Carries bat to first base and slams it down.  Does a big slow-motion stomping thing as he gets to home.  After all that nonsense, Verlander gets the ball back and throws a strike to the next hitter.

Half-inning later:  Altuve hits a 3-run shot, takes his bases with none of that bullshit.  Leclerc gets the ball back and like a little bitch he throws the very next pitch right at Dubon's head.

 

[A-Tex Devil 2446]

Catching up.  Anyone that thinks he was trying to hit Adolis is a fucking idiot. Down one, one on, 8th inning game five, tie series.  Yeah.  Make it harder it come back.  Adolis got our pitcher and manager ejected by being a fucking hothead. Fuck him.

Maybe he can get Dusty ejected again!

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Yainer with the pinch hit and catching the 9th, Singelton with the gutsy walk, Kessinger with the great defensive play, Altuve with the big hit, Pressly slammed the door. 
It’s the kind of shit no one could see coming but the kind of shit that makes games and teams legendary. And my dumbass almost turned it off and missed it. Never underestimate the heart of a champion. Thanks Rudy.

[runthebone 7967]

Just told my sons how lucky we are to get to watch Altuve play.

[Celery Man 20931]

Goddamn I was just f5ing the score on my phone at a dinner and missed the whole thing. Catching up, did Garcia get thrown too?

[Stros121 4]

Jose Altuve is the best baller player of all time.

Dude that's catching 101.  It was intentional which is expected. Garcia knew it was coming. You don't get to show up a future HOF pitcher and get away with it. Any catcher and manager that didn't go head hunting in that spot, loses the respect of everyone in the clubhouse. 

[Fudge Nuggets 19188]

Those of you with mlb app, Ford's call of the Altuve bomb is unfuckingbelievable.  Even better than the Yordan World Series call.

The best part was Yordan going and informing Garcia that he was the pimp here and to take his money take the base and STFU in Spanish of course....

[WelfareBuysMyWeed 5388]

So altuve has to be the all time greatest astro by now, right?

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

I don’t go into the thread of hate very often….I’m guessing the Ranger fans are “six feet from the edge” about now?

I dont know which altuve alcs homerun was better, this one or "altuve sends the astros to the world series!"

[tx 3 putt 76870]

If Garcia puts his bat down and walks to 1st, this could be a different ending

Dudes, have y'all peeked in at the Rangers season thread?

Good lord.  Someone needs to do a bunch of wellness checks tomorrow.

I mean, I'm not.  But, ya know, someone.

Yep. Altuve runs on hate. We need another scandal to keep him going through the life of his contract. 

[WelfareBuysMyWeed 5388]

I remember going to game 6 of the 2017 alcs just days after my home had been reduced to rubble in hurricane harvey. The yankees were rallying late in the game when altuve came to bat. The stadium chanted "mvp" i swear it juiced the fuck out of him. And very next pitch was a 2 run homer. Game was never in question after.

I literally love jose altuve.

Not in that circumstance. You drill him in the ribs next season, not down 2 in the playoffs.

So much act like you’ve been there before for the Rangers. I really don’t know where to start. 
 

Just win on Sunday. A Game 7 is the moral victory those Ranger/aggys are seeking.
