2023 Houston Astros Thread

[perfectchaos007 6649]

Aside from game 2 I think, none of these games at MMP have been competitive 

[TexArcher 37810]

Gross.  God dammit.

[Eastwood 4394]

Going to be hilarious when he pops for PEDs next year.

[Stringer 1439]

After the game, the whole team should line up and allow Yordan to punch every one of them in the nuts.

[D3zii 3682]

At this point he’s just showing off now lol jeez 

[Evil Bill Obrien 3286]

[Rockethorn1978 6079]

Literally no pride from  anyone on the pitching staff and really only Alvarez and the one bregman bomb

They might. But Wheeler and Nola and some of their lefty relievers are pretty salty. I rarely care to watch a WS w/o the Astros, but this time around I probably will.

Motherfucker has a Bonds head for sure.  Maybe he’s just a genetic freak, who knows.  

[thetruth 149]

Dusty thank you for your service. You filled a role, and we thank you for it. But get the fuck out. Not intentionally walking Garcia in any scenario half way through the series, not starting Diaz while Maldo fumbles every at bat. I'm done. Get the fuck out. 

[TexArcher 37810]

God fucking dammit, fucking shit.  Fuck.

[TejasPedro 1858]

I hate the way he chews gum.

I really don’t think they are that good, at least compared to the last few WS champs.  Every time I take a look at their stats on baseball reference I think “THIS team is beating us?!?!”  Pretty much everyone is playing better than they did in the regular season.  
 

Of course a fucking front runner like Smoltz is anointing them the next dynasty here in the 8th inning.

I mean, that's an ejection, right?

Smoltz' hate for the Astros is ridiculous.

Should be.

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19101]

Pena looks terrible in his ABs.

They need to rebuild their farm system.

Everyone but Alvarez and altuve look terrible.

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19101]

Diaz sighting.

[UTexasFight 9454]

This doesn’t happen if Crane honors the sublease he gave to Spirit Halloween when it looked like we were missing the playoffs. 

 

[Rockethorn1978 6079]

Hope Diaz hits a bomb just to say fuck you tondusty 

[LCHorn 2620]

Haha, now they put in Diaz.  At least he’s rested…

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19101]

Alright folks.  It's been real.  I've got an early AM, and it's after 11.

You sound way too sober to be suffering through this inning.

They will have the better manager, they hit a ton, and they haven't lost on the road in the postseason.

They are going to be a tough out.

[Gut Wagon 8079]

Was hoping Garcia would get another AB, so Stanek could clock him. Oh, well. 

[TejasPedro 1858]

Disappointed there was no payback for Chas. They send one of ours to the training table we send one of theirs to the ICU

[Guadaloopy 10973]

Another half inning left.  Then the void.   Watching until the bitter end.  

[D3zii 3682]

Fuck it, at this point bring back the cheater!!!!!!

[Dutchrudder 11139]

Alright, 9 run inning here we come...

[Bevo&Pevo 5168]

Watching til the end. X2

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Let’s bat around! No outs! 2 grand slams!

[tx 3 putt 76979]

[perfectchaos007 6649]

Rally time!!

[TexArcher 37810]

Fuck yeah, Jose.  Never quit being a beast.

[Dutchrudder 11139]

Padding those all time postseason HR stats lol

[elfenix 34261]

Tuve bombs

[Guadaloopy 10973]

One more smile and reason to cheer from Altuve!   

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Just get the line moving

[Storm the Field 5295]

Dusty needs to retire. If he insists on continuing to manage at 75, let some rebuilding or not-even-trying team have him take the reins. I want somebody born after the dawn of color TV filling out lineup cards for the Astros.

Maldy needs to retire. Not a team on earth that needs a 37-year old 0.2 WAR catcher with .190 average and the mobility of an arthritic sloth.

Brantley needs to retire. Love ya, Uncle Mike, but he'll turn 37 early next season and is washed. Also, pretty clear Meyers is not going to take up a major step forward and be an everyday starter for us. Dubon is a quality bench guy, but that's it. Sign/trade a legit starting OF.

Garcia won't be back for a long while. You can't count on LMJ being ready or staying healthy next year. France overperformed and is probably not a legit MLB starter. Brown is a work in progress. We need 1-2 more real starters in the rotation.

Hope and pray that Pena can recover from this horrendous power slump and that Tucker's abysmal post-season was a fluke. 

Wrap Altuve and Alvarez in protective bubble wrap until Opening Day.

Good on Biggio going back out there to see the end of this 

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Well. This is how they suck me into caring the next 6 months

I’d love to bring him back as part of platoon or to be the first bat off the bench.  Rough game for him today.

Turn him into a hitting coach somewhere in the organization.

[Dutchrudder 11139]

It will be fitting if the season ends with Tucker looking lost on a strikeout.

Sigh.

[Smax 3800]

Last out by tuck, fitting

[tx 3 putt 76979]

Fuck these fucks 

[perfectchaos007 6649]

Astros offense in the 4 games this series at MMP.
