Yep. All of this is the same experience I’ve had. The $5 tickets, $1 dogs and $1 beer nights were pretty awesome though when they sucked and I was a poor, single guy working in Houston.

I would take dates with an empty powerade bottle on tuesday for even cheaper tickets, then sneak in a water bottle full of vodka and get out paying more for parking. 

[Planet Houston 4930]

Well, y’all have said it all about Altuve. It’s beyond incredible and we are insanely lucky to have this guy leading this franchise. And anyone who thinks he just cemented himself as the greatest Astro last night is insane - he had that wrapped up long, long ago. Nobody else is even close, including two HOFers. 

This is awesome:

He's not just the greatest Astro of all time, he's the greatest Houston athlete of all time. 

Sorry, Dream. You're next.

[tx 3 putt 76958]

Two things that got put to rest last night ….

1. Diaz’s ability to call pitches and catch 

2. espada not being manager material

 

both these guys dropped their nuts on mlb

It's true. I love Dream and Earl but Altuve is next-level clutch.

[Pimphand 5750]

I feel like Nolan and the Astros should let Altuve wear #34 for a game this year.

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

Dream did it first for me. He took my fandom to another level. Always will be first for me.

These Rangers postgame really think Abreu hit Garcia intentionally there.  What dumbfucks.  They dont understand a championship mindset.

Yep, the Astros hit someone on purpose in game 5 with no outs and a runner on.

Dusty was in a coma until they finally woke his ass up and he was pissed as fuck about it lol.

Trash fan base.  At here are a couple of guys in their thread saying they should have hit Yordan in the head / hand in Game 4 and a guy yesterday saying they should hit Altuve in the head.  I’m all for the hate, but I never hope to see an injury on a purpose HBP.  That’s bullshit.

Astros need to fly in Correa to give framber a prep talk tomorrow 

They need to PT his ass until it churns buttermilk. 
 

then he wouldn’t have all the mental energy to be worried about bullshit besides pitching

[billfromlaketravis 11479]

Anybody at the game last night? That Altuve homer was louder than many, many big plays the Minute Maid. Surely it was majority Astros fans right?

i'll say it.  we hit him on purpose.  fuck it.  will that make everybody shut the fuck up about it?  i'll take full responsibility.  enough already.

getting hit is a part of baseball and has been for 1.5 centuries.  take your base.  take advantage of 2 on/no out + wild pitcher.  score some insurance runs.  win the game. 

or don't, i don't care.

100% sending a message with the pitch based on count and situation.  But I don’t believe that it was intended to hit him.  I do believe it was a “back the fuck up, asshole” pitch.  If it gets a little too far inside, oh well.  Message sent and received.   And the Astros won.

Yordan did not need shit to go reave Garcia's soul and end the entire kerfuffle peacefully.

[kevwun 15788]

He was telling him that altuve was going to remove their souls in the 9th.

I have a framed signed version of this in my office. Thinking of photoshopping in Altuve somehow despite the wrong number.

That’s ridiculous.

how long does the appeal take?

 

I guess you have to appeal and hope the ruling comes before game 1 on Friday and gets reduced to only 1 game?

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

2 games for a basic plunk pitch? Lmao. MLB fucking sucks. Just add more fuel to the fire.

I won’t embed his tweet because he’s a dumbfuck but Passan said because of his expected appeal the suspension likely won’t take place until next season.

Altuve is like no other.  He is officially my favorite athlete of all time.

I knew Singleton would have a playoff moment.

Abreu getting suspended immediately is bullshit.  That could matter a lot.

Not even a basic plunk pitch. There's no way you can determine intent there. There was no HBP eartlier, and it made zero sense to try to plunk a guy in that situation.

Just so bad.

Seriously. And if Maldy is the reason the pitchers are so good and comfortable all the time and they trust him implicitly, shouldn't he be getting suspended
