Houston Astros 2024 Season Thread

[runthebone 7981]

Two days in a row without a loss

[Honeysucklerose 987]

[Gut Wagon 8065]

So all it takes for us to win is starting Blanco and having 44 detonate a couple bombs. Making a note of that.

Oh shit, Abreu with a hit up the middle on 97.  Must have closed his eyes and started his swing on pitcher's first movement.

Impressed he got around on it… but it was an out without the infield playing in

Abreu might have a future …………..

in the Mexican league

I made the same comment…that he looks right at home in this ballpark….and should stay here 

[UTexasFight 9432]

Great ballpark and atmosphere. The concessions/ food are incredible.

crowd in to the entire game.

 Would love to catch some Méxican League action down here someday

Dubon needs more playing time / at bats, chas and jake less of both

I do not at all understand the clamoring to bench Jake Meyers.  His k rate is below 20% and he hits the shit out of the ball.  His wRC+ of 111 is in the top 10 of all MLB CF this season and his low babip indicates he’s probably been unlucky offensively.  He catches balls in CF that almost no one else would.

Aside from having a weak throwing arm (which I assume is why Verlander refuses to play with him), he’s badass and should be playing every day.

We are having problems scoring runs, right mow dubon is generating runs. All three are great role players. Roll with the hot hand and then the best match ups

If you want Dubon in the lineup, 1B seems to make a lot more sense than displacing Meyers.

[uoftorange 1386]

I'm still at a loss why Dubon isn't our first baseman.  I wonder if he just doesn't feel comfortable there?

There are 58 million reasons why Dubon isnt at first

Is that the longest homer in Altuves career?

[runthebone 7981]

Throwing Altuve a fastball is a bad idea in any country.

 

It's Framber v. Gomber!  (I'm assuming that rhymes, I have no idea who that dumbass is.)

[Scraps 13561]

Is that the longest homer in Altuves career?

Doesnt look like it. I see at least 3 he hit in the 440s

That one was 437ft

[tx 3 putt 76936]

Pena !!!!

[runthebone 7981]

Are we hitting a home run every interview?

We need more runs. Don't think 4 is gonna cut it

[TonyTexas 10510]

That’s probably it for Framber. Very nice outing. 

[billfromlaketravis 11467]

These camera angles on ESPN are a beating. Reminds me of the old school Fox Sports Southwest days where they miss at least 5 plays for game.

God I love Mexico 🇲🇽. Can we have the Astros stay there for the rest of the season.

[BrazilHorn 6599]

Nice rip down 3B line. Love aggressiveness of sending Pena from 1B home,

No one cares Jessica this is baseball

[WBT 20565]

Meyers in at CF, Dubon goes to 1B replacing Abreu who would have led off the 9th LF replacing Yordan.  No way we could blow a 6 run league in this bandbox right?

And if you're going to make a defensive sub Abreu is a far greater liability than Yordan.

No shit. Nobody cares about women’s sports.  Nobody cares about softball.
