2018 Houston Astros Season Thread

[Player 4575]

Damn that was a fun game, and a beautiful night at MMP. 

Let’s take the series tomorrow and get ready to fuck up the Bronx Helobiouses.

What a difference a day makes

[UTexasFight 9430]

Oh look, we have the best run differential in the majors. (+62)

I fucking love Jose Altuve.

Also, loved Bagwell in the booth, calling the results of plays three seconds before they happened.

That looked like a fun game. 

[Ldogg53 514]

Shep- how early do I need to be there for this autograph thing?

[Guest]

George gives Tuve encouragement... LOL. Dude gets 4 hits and credits his teammates.

The booth, and I'll give credit to Bagwell for hitting on it more than once; talked about how much this team pushes each other; whether it is the pitching staff or guys in the batting line up.

 

That is the leadership difference that keeps this team on the right track.  Baseball is cyclical as hell, but the Astros' elite "normal" is because of how the leaders on the team pull in the right direction.  It has spread throughout the clubhouse.

I liked Bagwell in the booth.  Maybe the best part to me was him talking about Reddick getting good secondary leads and just his good baserunning in general.  Bagwell was next level at that stuff.

[Player 4575]

Bagwell was clearly taking hits on something in the booth yesterday, I’ll give you that. 

[Jshep34 2308]

In line at buddies autograph.  Moving quick. Hope we get a repeat from yesterday

I bet we crossed paths. We got in line at about 10:20.

Totally - Bagwell was great. Not sure he's cut out for an every day gig (or that he'd want one), but I thought he was really interesting to listen to.

This

[huge 3793]

Yeah. I was worried he was going to be a train wreck but he obviously knows baseball. 

[runthebone 7967]

Altuve's power is coming on.  AL pitchers are fucked. 

[Jshep34 2308]

Lilshep is on pregame . 

[Dr. Teeth 5843]

Cole made him look bad. A major league hitter just looked like he had no clue at bat. 

[Jshep34 2308]

Got the run back. Even with the jake in the lineup 

[Fudge Nuggets 19189]

Windmill fucked that one up.

[Dr. Teeth 5843]

MVP doing MVP things.

Dear Bullpen,

please hold this lead 

[Fudge Nuggets 19189]

We should be shit stomping these fucks, yet here we are all tied up.  The season so far in a nutshell.

Wish Harris got the same zone as their pitcher.

[Tyler Durden 132]

Surprised Nolan never struck out 60 in a month.

[GHOSTUSER 361]

What’s the deal with the mitt that Bregman puts on his left hand? Great RBI by Jake.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

McCann was chugging around third

[cabowabo 4484]

Good work by Springer there. 

[Tim Beck 20]

Damn I blinked and missed McWheels flying around the basepath

It's in case he needs to help pull some hotdogs off the rollers, or a hot pot of nacho cheese.

Saw someone a couple days ago putting on a baserunning glove so they would not jam their fingers.  Apparently it also helps for when your hand gets stepped on too.

Nice

[Fudge Nuggets 19189]

Great half inning, but Carlos hits into a ton of DPs this year.

[Dr. Teeth 5843]

Marwin doing some work lately.

Need to get his trade value up a little more before we pull the trigger.
