Before we get into things, I'd like to take a quick moment to congratulate Houston on their 2023 AL West division championship.

Let me put on my Rangers fan hat for a minute…I’m not going to lie that I had flashbacks to 2011 when Bochy brought in Leclerc. Obviously he had more margin for error, but I was happy to see him exercise his demons so quickly. I’m hoping for an epic Game 7 tonight!

literally no idea what this means.  leclerc is the best dude in the pen.  the situation was the highest leverage.  2011 was a dusty-level abortion pulling feliz and putting in soft tossing darren oliver.  if we lose, we lose being aggressive.  2011 was losing because we were grade a retards in the most important decision of these guys' careers.

The core problem is Bochy knows what he is doing. Dusty does not....  Last year the Astros had the pitching to sustain Dusty's stupidity because we simply didn't give up runs.  Remember Bochy showed the way in 2014 how to use MadBum in relief and win the game and dumbfawk AJ Hinch couldn't follow that script. I'm tired of being ad a decided schematic disadvantage in the dugout.

Explain how this is so. The guy said "herp derp Adolis is such a front runner, he was 0 for 4 until he finally hit a pointless grand slam because the Rangers were going to win anyways". How is that not the dumbest post, genuinely, of this thread?

He's using Adolis going 0 for 4 before the game defining and winning hit as evidence that he's a front runner and not a clutch hitter. I just reminded him that Altuve was also 0 for 4 before his game defining and winning hit. In both cases the bottom of the 9th for the home team was anticlimactic and fans in attendance were stunned to silence/exit.

The Win Probability for the Astros when Altuve stepped into the box was 28%.

The Win Probability for the Rangers when Adolis stepped into the box was 98%.

The stadium was filled when Adolis swung and it was half empty by the time he reached home. He fucking broke the spirit of the fanbase and put the game out of reach. It mattered. Astros fans trying to convince themselves otherwise are crybaby pussies. 

Horseshit.  People leave the stadium when the game is over.  It was over.  No spirits were broken.

So you admit it wasn’t really over until he homered. It also prevented Leclerc from having to come on in the ninth to throw more pitches. 
 

It’d be way easier to respect you guys if you just accept that García dunked on your bitchasses and moved on. It’s ok. He got his yesterday but it means nothing for the game tonight.

Broke the spirit of the fanbase ??? 

What a fucking joke.  I watched Pujols crush one over the train track to beat Lidge in game 6 of the NLDS and the Astros won the next game to clinch and go to the WS.  Yeah, right.  Our spirit is broken.

Will definitely give it up for Garcia in that moment.  That was fucking clutch on his part.  But it was over before he hit it.

The fire had already smoldered out when Stanek plunked Seager.  Garcia pissed on the ashes.  I'm sure it was a lot of fun for Ranger fans and anti-Astros folks, but it was hardly heartbreaking or a spirit-killer for Astro fans.

Most Astro post in the history of the internet. 
 

You could’ve written “NLCS” and still been half wrong btw.

Adolis hit a grand slam in a game that was already decided (or, at least 98% decided) against our 7th best reliever.  He also struck out 4 times when the game was very much still a coin flip. 

Some of us understand what clutch means and some of us call it clutch when one of the UT white boy walk-ons hits a 3-pointer to extend the lead to 30 in the final seconds.

lol at the grand slam not mattering.  Guy took out his horse cock and ejaculated all over the city of Houston.  Given it didn't matter I guess the boos won't be more robust tonight

Stros have lost something like 20 out of their last 30 at home and Dusty has never won a game 7.  Can't wait

Now do the Jeff Kent one where you walked off GM5 and then lost the next two.

You guys way overestimate how much a manager matters at the mlb level. I’ve seen some analytics that the range of impact between the best manager and the worst is roughly +2 to -2 wins over the course of a season. Dusty is fine. He won a fucking World Series already. 

You do not need to convince me you do not understand the sport of baseball.  I have gotten the memo loud and fucking clear over the past 3 seasons the horse is dead.

Dusty has been to an ALCS in season 1. A World Series appearance season 2. World Series win season 3. One win away from another World Series game 4, which would be 3 in a row. Oh the horror! That must be so tough to endure. My condolences to Astros fans having to witness this.

Thanks, that's very kind of you.

Damnit, that was pretty good.

That guy is spot on.  Which makes me wonder what was the point of the post since said comedian flat out says he's not calling the Astros cheaters.

Oh well, glad to see Beard came out of hiding.  Good sign that the Astros can bounce back tonight.

The idea being, with the executive leadership, money, roster, and raw talent, a ham sandwich could have done all that in Dusty's stead. When they have a B-rated team, like this year, who has to actually work angles and be smart to win instead of relying on a great lineup and brute force great pitching, they are found wanting.

Let's break this down shall we:

  • executive leadership - went basically the entire offseason without a GM
  • money - Rangers payroll is $277MM, Astros is $242MM
  • raw talent - Rangers brag about their six all-stars, Astros had three

Yet we wound up with same record and won the tie-break for yet another division title.  That little B-rated team did ok... if this is "wanting" then it could be a lot worse I guess.

Lmao. That weather delayed game that was 50/50 on even being played? Shocked some people didn’t stay. 
 

Houston people really have no critical thinking skills. None.

84 minutes == 50/50 even being played in the Helo RGV fantasy world hahaha.

MF'er I sat in Old Yankee Stadium for 3+ hours in 2008 for the last time I would ever go there before shitbox steinbrenner called it and that was a regular season game because y'all were already eliminated from the playoffs.

Well then get a roof, poverty franchise. Went to a rain delayed and eventually canceled BOS v NYY game at Fenway this past September and there were more people waited that out that meaningless game than game 4 of the ALCS in the Bronx.

Also are you really logging into your sock account immediately to pos rep all of your posts??

I have no socks. It might be shocking to you but a lot of smart people hate the fucking Astros.

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone who buys “gold” chains from Amazon doesn’t have any socks.  Or if you bought calf high socks and wore them with Under Armour slip ons either.
