2023 Houston Astros Thread

[runthebone 7932]

Two lucky hits, but after Milwaukee, it's all good.

[rvm96 1643]

My man Julks!

[runthebone 7932]

Brown's hook is filthy today

 

[tx 3 putt 76314]

Julks / Chas / Jake all need to play every day. Get those at bats. It’s a good problem to have 

[tx 3 putt 76314]

Damn that was nasty 

[tx 3 putt 76314]

Soon …..

 

[cabowabo 4451]

God damn he is bad. 

[HtownHorn 14468]

0-3 7 LOB. unplayable.

 

Blanco still walking too many guys.

[Dennis Taylor 18701]

Shocker

[billfromlaketravis 11358]

So Framber, Javier, Hunter…LMJ in the playoffs? 

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

Dubon to SS is a healthy move, need to move him to 1B soon. 

[runthebone 7932]

LHRP with Alvarez up second!

[runthebone 7932]

Too many curveballs to him today.  A shitty one.

[WBT 20415]

Losing it a little last inning and this one.  He had been reaaly dealing.

[tx 3 putt 76314]

Another good start for brown 

[WBT 20415]

Good start for Brown.  Still my ROY

[runthebone 7932]

Altuve looking tentative swinging at two high fastball strike 3s

 

Uncharacteristic.

[runthebone 7932]

Pressly is throwing some sick shit tonight

[WBT 20415]

Nice win

[Rip76 4913]

Hate to say this, but what has he done lately?  I realize he's in semi-recovery mode, but his bat has gone to sleep this year.

The A's suck, but Brown and Pressly were both nasty tonight.  Was sitting behind home, and we were just laughing at their breaking balls.  Except for the hanger to Brown.

Dropped a few on him at +1,000 today

Only 2 hits tonight, including a double into the left field corner. Currently batting .294. That’s all.

[Scraps 13540]

He has also played what....5 games??

Jesus christ yall bitch about anything

[tx 3 putt 76314]

[tx 3 putt 76314]

just sweep the A's. I don't give a fuck who's in the line up. pitching has been damn lights out, we need to keep these bats going 

[Pimphand 5594]

 

[kevwun 15623]

If it had been a solo homer, that would have been a Verlander start for Brown.

[Wulaw Horn 18972]

Altuve 850 OPS says he’s fine. I was a little worried, like I said 2% because of him being so bad in the playoffs last year and spring training. I went to the game Saturday and saw him turn on one and hit it 400 feet (down the line- just foul) and get a hustle double into the gap and the fears completely went away. Father time will get Altuve at some point in time but it is not this year.

[Hank Chinaski 6310]

Jesus Christ Altuve was a top-5 hitter in MLB last season and has played 5 games. Even I can’t find anything to bitch about here. 

[runthebone 7932]

It's one of the worst takes in this entire thread, and that is saying a hell of a lot.

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

[tx 3 putt 76314]

A’s fans took the chorizo grande from ownership. World class screwing that’s been going on for years 

also, 30,000 seats for the Vegas stadium is just greedy. Everyone knows that Vegas will be the #1 road-trip for all mlb fans. They just want to jack up the prices.

[kevwun 15623]

There will be more opposing team fans at that stadium at most games after a few years of them sucking.

[TonyTexas 10481]

I wonder what percentage of the season tickets will be bought by the casinos? I’d say over 50%.

I’ve never been to Vegas, but an Astros road-trip will get me there. Inflated ticket prices will drive me somewhere else though 

It needs to be 40k, with extra suites 

Edited May 27, 2023 by tx 3 putt

[kevwun 15623]

We already go to Vegas once or twice a year and we're definitely gonna go to games.  The stadium is gonna be walking distance from where we stay.

[tx 3 putt 76314]

I hope they don’t have those horrible field level suits 

[HtownHorn 14468]

This team is just so limited offensively with Abreu. Even moving him down to 6th, where we all thought he would be when the team was fully healthy. 1st 3 ABs, nothing, 7 LOB. Fuck.

The baseball gods love giving him men on base

I wonder how long they can plausibly stick with him at this current level of production. The All Star break is still 6-7 weeks away, but it sounds right. 

[kevwun 15623]

Crane is gonna get to put his money where his mouth is at the trade deadline this year.

[HtownHorn 14468]

We'd probably be in 1st with Gallo, Belt, or JD Davis at 1B.

So he's going to trade for a 1st baseman and a catcher that Dusty won't play?

I mean we will be in first  at the ASB with Abreu, so sure.
