2023 Houston Astros Thread

[Fudge Nuggets 19118]

We should have brought back Carlos Correa with his $200MM contract and lower WAR than Pena.  That would have fixed everything, right?

This team has issues... no doubt.  But you mother fuckers... chill.  Make the playoffs (hopefully) and take it from there.

The team is playing on fumes. Back to back seasons playing into November.

We have a 7 year run going, this season isn’t over yet 

[Rockethorn1978 6061]

Lose two games and the season is over, win the next two games and were gonna repeat. This is why I love and hate baseball.

Rangers and Astros fighting today to avoid the sweep 

[UTexasFight 9370]

So assuming Tucker has Covid?

 

no Maldy! Julks instead!

 

[UTPhil2006 3790]

Tucker potentially available off the bench. Need a win today. 

[Wulaw Horn 18963]

yeah we do. Badly.

Wait, are you saying this or has the team said this?

[UTexasFight 9370]

Brown just said it on the pregame.

could have probably started “but it’s what Dusty likes to do. When a guy is ready, give him an extra day.”

 

 

Abreu should be ready immediately after the 10 day IL stint is up

Dusty didn’t outright say no but indicated it was highly doubtful.

Hoping to have Brantley back by end of week.

no pain right now. At the point where he had the discomfort last time but no pain this time 

[tx 3 putt 76170]

Damn chas, have to make that catch 

[David Dennison 18620]

That figures.

[cabowabo 4449]

Catch the ball for fucks sake.

I’m glad Tucker is available to make that play….on the bench 

[UTexasFight 9370]

The announcer combo for these peacock games is so bizarre.

but I like the M’s PXP guy so ok with this

We need him Today ….

Michael Brantley is batting .364 with a homer and 4 RBI in his rehab assignment with the Space Cowboys.

[TonyTexas 10478]

Dammit Maldy……Oh, wait

[cabowabo 4449]

We're such a mess right now.

[David Dennison 18620]

Spotting a run. 

Smrt.

[UTexasFight 9370]

Julio goes around the bases with the glove getting on the ball for all three stops 

[David Dennison 18620]

Our rotation is not playoff ready.

Good thinking, Dusty. It’s important to remain rigid with your made-up, bullshit managing conventions, under any circumstance, despite no evidence that it helps anything whatsoever. Let’s keep minimizing our chances of winning the game. 

[UTexasFight 9370]

Holy high pitch count, batman 

[tx 3 putt 76170]

Call Strikes Maldy !!!!

He did the exact same thing last year and won the World Series. Good luck convincing him to change.

[UTexasFight 9370]

I saw some dumb post the other day about:

”Maddux would throw a 78 pitch complete game.

today, guys throw that many pitches in 3 innings “

and thought, so dumb. That never happens.

bagwell on the radio - they’re punching us in the mouth right now 

[Wulaw Horn 18963]

My ass hits the seat (late because of church) and 2 pitches later Hr. 
now we can’t get an out thanks to the rafters. 
fuck everything. 

[David Dennison 18620]

Third place by the end of the week?

[TonyTexas 10478]

I’d rather go take run in this 102 degree heat than watch this shit. 

[Rimbo 25753]

i hate baseball

[billfromlaketravis 11352]

I’d call up Brantley and Abreu tomorrow. Send Singleton to Siberia. 
 

Maybe just maybe Uncle Mike gives the lineup a shot in the arm.

I'm more worried about Framber, Javier, and Brown.

[billfromlaketravis 11352]

Blummer and some drunk they found facedown in his Heinz beans and bangers at the Red Lion. Awesome job Peacock. 

[Wulaw Horn 18963]

Bad news fucking bears.
