2023 Houston Astros Thread

[TonyTexas 10480]

Brown needs to draft about a dozen infielders this year. That unit’s depth in the minors is weak to say the least.

This rumor from last year is stirring up again, the Yankees have a lot of interest in chas McCormick 

 

I’m not sure what Yankees have that we necessarily would want at the moment. I know they have some young guys that are supposed to be good. Other than maybe including Chas in a package for Luis Robert, I don’t think there are many available players that would be a significant upgrade. Dude may not be the most athletic or graceful but he’s 100 percent all the time and will almost literally run through walls. Dusty may not get his personality but between the foul lines he is a player.

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

I kinda got used to afternoon games. Work suffered but now I’m wondering how I ever worked past 3pm.

[UTPhil2006 3790]

Altuve IL

Blanco up 

Hensley up 

mush down. 
 

Phil sad 

No reason not to IL Javi too but Dana is as dumb as Dusty 

[UTPhil2006 3790]

Chazzy lives. Also given injuries this ain’t bad 

[Gourmand 7774]

that's a decent lineup, Dusty!

[Scraps 13537]

Chas and Tucker wearing the same jersey number has to be some kind of rule violation

[tx 3 putt 76285]

a 'stranger things' night is just dumb

[Jshep34 2303]

I already have tickets. There is an additional thing to buy?

No. Just go to gate by home plate. Say you are a season ticket holder. But with it being give away day all gates open at same time. Head to corner of astros dugout. Section 127/128. Go first row

Maybe we're in the Upside Down with Chas and Yanier both playing

[Scraps 13537]

They do it every year but its actually fitting this year with this call

I would've gotten the add on shirt but didn't want to fuck with it

Should be Meyers instead of Maldonado- that's leaving money on the table, but if that's the only bitch (Dubon should hit 6th or 7th that's minor) then that's better than most days.

what time does the season ticket gate open?  is that in time for Astros BP?

[Scraps 13537]

Season ticket holders get in 30 mins before normal gate openings except on giveaway days.  

You can buy tickets from a season ticket holder and states it on the ballpark app when you pull up your ticket

 

Edit - they may have changed it for giveaway days now where it doesn't matter:

We are excited to announce these updates for the 2023 season.

Early Entry

All STHs get early entry to Monday through Thursday home games that start at 7:10pm! During the week, Season Ticket Holders can access the stadium through the Center Field and Home Plate Entrances beginning 30 minutes before gates open to the general public regardless of the giveaway schedule.

Also found this on the website so they may not have gone through with early entry on giveaway days like they said they were going to

Season Ticket Holder Early Entry

Enter Minute Maid Park 30 minutes before gates open on non-giveaway Monday - Thursday games.

There’s a big crowd every night. Attendance is running at 90% capacity this year. Houston is currently a baseball town. 
But yeah,  MM will be packed tonight.

To be fair, Texans and Rockets make being a baseball town pretty damn easy. Go Stros.

[tx 3 putt 76285]

Yordan and Altuve have played 4 games together this season ?

it’s a miracle we’re two back 

[Mo Horn 8806]

Well that was a nice 1st inning Blanco

[Scraps 13537]

Meatball

[Mo Horn 8806]

Shit 

[Wulaw Horn 18968]

These fucking kids letting Maldy down. 

[David Dennison 18646]

If we ever get a HR prop, I'm out.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

You can’t throw that shit in the show. God damn what a meat pitch.

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Should we just count this as an L and leave Blanco out there for 9 innings to save our bullpen?

[Scraps 13537]

That DP thanks to Abreu for telling homeboy to throw to 2nd first

[Wulaw Horn 18968]

It’s always maldy with the biggest AB’s of the game. 

[David Dennison 18646]

It's like having the pitcher bat.

[Mo Horn 8806]

Predictable

[David Dennison 18646]

Swings at ball four for strike two and flies out weakly.

Great.

[Mo Horn 8806]

Should have left Blanco in Sugarland

[David Dennison 18646]

Keep calling those HR pitches, Maldy.

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Send this clown back. Good grief

[Guest]

JFC   batting practice or HR derby?

How quickly they turn on you.

[Harrison Stafford 3325]

Good Lord!  Our pitcher has one job and it ain’t happening

Fun fact, it's impossible to win when you score 0 runs. 

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Fun fact, it's impossible to win when you score 0 runs. 

And only see 6 pitches per inning

[Mo Horn 8806]

It appears that it's going to be one of those nights where our bats are nonexistent. Maybe we'll do the reverse this series and score zero tonight and 10 every game the rest of the series. 

[Wulaw Horn 18968]

I mean- he’s given up 3 through 5 innings. One more inning and he’s done his job and done it well. 

[Mo Horn 8806]

Julks is the hottest player in baseball right now

[Scraps 13537]

Loud booing of Mashitty in the OF when announced lol

[Mo Horn 8806]

That was no where in the vicinity of the strike zone. Pathetic

14 HPB?

Just earhole the motherfucker if he wants to crowd the plate.

Make it fucking worth it.

[rvm96 1643]

Oh look a quality start

[Texas St. Armadillos 1381]

Good job. Blanco.  

[Scraps 13537]

I wouldve gotten tossed on that ring up

I thought I heard that on TV.  Dusty probably not hearing it.
