2023 Houston Astros Thread

[Dennis Taylor 18818]

A pitcher making 75% of the entire fucking payroll of this AAA team we are playing and him trotting out and throwing them BP is fucking inexcusable. He already stole $60m in his 2 TJ seasons.

It's not nearly as inexcusable as scoring two runs.

[Js1 85321]

This team is being ass right now.

This team is infuriating.

A fish rots from the head down. This is Jim Cranes fault for setting up a broken org chart and allowing a mouth breathing moron to have the ability to do whatever illogical and dumbshit asinine ness he wants to do.

Both are equally inexcusable.  It's the fucking A's.

[tx 3 putt 76933]

#1 and #2 getting drummed by the A’s, not good 

[Stros121 4]

[David Dennison 18856]

Worst first place team ever.

[tx 3 putt 76933]

These last 16 games are going to be damn wild

buckle up

[elfenix 34238]

"easy schedule"

We have to get at least one 1 win out of these two against the Braves if we get back there 

[David Dennison 18856]

Relax, y'all. Hunter Brown tomorrow.

Silver lining, maybe Dusty will start Diaz

[Smax 3800]

if we win the division we may be screwed with homefield throughout the playoffs

[Dutchrudder 11139]

 

[UTexasFight 9432]

I said we needed 7-2 in the 9 against the A’s and Royals.

sure wish we hadn’t decided to need to win all 7 in a row 

[UTexasFight 9432]

It’s so obvious it’s a control thing with Dusty and the more rome baits him the worse it’s going to get.

Really need Brown/Crane to work some reverse psychology mojo on Dusty and convince him it’s his idea to play Diaz more

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

 

[Guadaloopy 10964]

Feels damn weird to say that at least we have Texas Football to look forward to.  

[Halohal 498]

Baker holding team/city/fans under ransom... sounds like a contract extension 

[Scraps 13561]

Wulaw he is on to you

[tx 3 putt 76933]

Chas McCormick: "Verlander talked to us after the game and we have to come out and show up. We can’t just come out to these games and think it’s going to be a cakewalk 'cause it’s not. We’re getting our butts whooped. You gotta give credit to them. They’re playing really well."

 

 

Players with hits / Peña, Altuve, Alvarez, Dubon, Maldy / 9 hits for 30 AB

Players w/0 hits / Bregman, Tucker, Abreu, Chas, Brantley / 0 hit for 31 AB

lace them up and play again tomorrow, try not to get swept by the fucking A's

Machete is sad on his IG story
 

 

[hornmpa96 2618]

This team can be painful to watch at times. Sending Maldy nasty messages on IG sucks. If you want to say something nasty to him, just go to the Minute Maid and scream at him. That’s what I do.

I’m not on social media. If I was I wouldn’t hide behind a sock. Hell, I’m not even anonymous on this message board.

I don’t boo. I don’t talk shit at a game and I don’t SoMe. I think it’s all dumb. That being said they are pros and make a ton of money, and get a ton of adulation. It’s part of the job to deals with hearing people tell you that you sick when you suck. 

[Welch 635]

I don’t hate Machete for being terrible at all.  I hate Baker for being too stubborn to acknowledge it and for hurting the team as a result.

[kevwun 15783]

He should be the wise old veteran on the bench who catches 1 game a week to give Diaz an off day.  The fans wouldn't hate him if that was the case.

[Guadaloopy 10964]

Slept on it and here we are in mid-September with a 1-game lead in the division.  The past is the past.  Time to start a winning streak.

[tx 3 putt 76933]

A little less wishing injuries and death on players/coaches would be nice …… but have those hexes ready. We probably get no hit tonight. A’s pitcher, 7 of his 8 games he gave up less than 2 runs

Slurs are never okay

Death threats are never okay

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

I can’t stand the people in the stands who act like they are protected, watching animals in a zoo and yell obscenities and throw stuff and spend the whole game just talking shit. What is the point? On the contrary, I get really amused when the monkey picks up a piece of shit and hurls it back or occasionally climbs the wall and goes after the shit talker. Keyboard warriors are even worse.  I don’t understand people that face paint and dress up in costume or something to go to a game, it’s just not my style I guess, but for the most part they are harmless. But the obnoxious drunks, yelling, cussing, fighting, etc deserve the dog to bite back once in a while and it makes me laugh.

Absolutely the F not. You don’t get a free pass for being racist (not you) because of what a guy makes. 

[Dutchrudder 11139]

By the way, it was really shitty of Dusty to force Bregman to sit a game and miss out on his first season playing all 162. He's at 145 out of 146 games played, and will likely play the rest of the way. Dusty is a "player's coach" though, so I guess he knows best.

I'd be more concerned if he was a soft tossing lefty with a ERA north of 5. We probably score 10+ tonight.

Meh

I’m sure he’ll sit the D-Backs series when we wrap up the west

and knowing what the plan was for the rest of the season back on June 7 when he sat seems a bit unreasonable.

now if you want to complain about Kessinger going 0-3 in his place in a 3-2 loss to the Blue Jays when we ending up going 3-4 against them on the season? Yeah, I’ll listen to that complaint

The day before an off day too.  It's kind of amazing that he's gotten this many manager jobs.  Those stories must be real fucking good.

[mbtex 683]

He just can't put out his best F$ckin line up. Maybe he wants to play golf sooner. 

[UTexasFight 9432]

At least they’re 8th and 9th!

 

 

This thread if we don’t pull out a win today and get swept by the A’s ahead of a day off….

[Js1 85321]

Yeah fuck you Dusty. I’m done with this bullshit. 

[WBT 20564]

Putting up too many competitive at bats is bad for the kids.

If left on his own, Dusty would have sat Altuve in Games 2 and 5 and Yordan in Games 3 and 6 of the WS

[WBT 20564]

I guess I should be happy he didn't follow hispositional  line up spot rule and bat Singleton 6th

Just wait until he pinch hits Dubon instead of Chas for Meyers
