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. 

Yeah, it was intentional with just enough plausible deniability because of the situation.

The game was tied vs the Yankees, that game was headed to extra innings

the game tonight, we were headed to a L 

We ain't won shit yet, but that one won us a pennant.

Win one of the next two then we move this one up.

[Uncle Boobs 1248]

Glorious win.

[cabowabo 4578]

Someone find the Rangers call of Altuves HR please.

[TexArcher 38420]

Yeah, one won a pennant.

The other won a game 5 to go up 3-2.  This one could still end up bittersweet.

Not that close.

But, both glorious.

[APMP 688]

SIAP, but of course you know who was the fastest guy out of the dugout when the benches cleared...Houston blood all the way.

[tx 3 putt 77928]

Astros system just pumping out players. Grae saved us from bases loaded and no outs 

 

 

[Bevo&Pevo 5388]

I was just told that Chuck Norris called Altuve and asked if it was OK to talk about him.  BMF.

Me too. We did the rookie mistake of counting strikes.

I don't know about you guys but I am perfectly fine with an Abreu/Singleton pairing manning 1B next year.

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

Yeah, we should send a gift basket to steroids.

[tx 3 putt 77928]

LuLz, radio guys saying Altuve walked into the dugout post game like nothing happened

I heard some idiot behind me at the game tonight say 6 more outs after Bregs got rung up to end the 7th.

And that’s when I gave my 9 yo a lesson in the foolishness of counting outs

or maybe just a healthy abreu that we're seeing right now, but all season?

[Slacks 6918]

So... I'm at a buddy's apt.. We're on his patio watching tv in the house with the door open... 

He puts on the Astros. 

"Nah, man. I can't watch the game. Change it." 

So he throws on YouTube and we watch boxing, as we tend to do. 

Top of the 9th, he switches on the game. 

Him: "Oh, it's over. 4-2 top of the 9th."

Gray: "Close the fucking door. I'm not watching." 

I turn on the play by play app. 

Bing. Bang. BOOM!

TRASHCAN MOTHE4FUCKERRRRRE! 

 

I apologize for watching the 1st two games, but we're good, because the next Astros game I watch will be in March 2024.

[tx 3 putt 77928]

The Spanish call ….

 

[Mo Horn 8899]

Lost in all the craziness was Tucker going 2-3. Maybe that gets him going for game 6

[tx 3 putt 77928]

 

[Slacks 6918]

Ya know... My middle name starts with "AL". Considering changing it to Altuve.

Pound for for mother fucking pound the best player ever is Jose Altuve!!!!! So pumped about this win. Framber is coming hard Sunday, and the Astros win in 6.

Not sure if it was discussed, but the funniest part of the game was a half dressed Neris bolting out of the locker room/dugout about a minute after the bullpens had reached the infield. You know he wasn’t going to miss mixing it up.

Hack Wilson is probably #1. That midget drove in 191 runs once with 56 HRs.

Nope. It’s been one-upped by Jose Abreu who is hanging out in the Ennis Bucc-ees right now 

 

pics coming 

[tx 3 putt 77928]

Most homers in playoff history:

Manny Ramirez 28
Jose Altuve 26

It's only a matter of time.

damn, I didn't know Hack Wilson was only 5'6".  Probably my grandfather''s favorite player when he was a young man in Chicago.  How the fuck did he play CF with a 25" inseam?
