We’ll be ok with Dallas. Wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t see CFM until the ALCS

I think I’m wrong on both counts.

[elfenix 34,365]

Somehow got out of that with the lead

[Guadaloopy 11,033]

Nice job minimizing the damage.   

[Guadaloopy 11,033]

JD almost put a hole in the left field wall with that shot.     

[Mez2 4,032]

Good throw, Sipp.  Like cricket.  

 

Is he trusting Rondon with the 8th?

[runthebone 8,052]

These guys've got some proven World Series champions in their pen. 

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

 

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Please bring in Ken in a non-save situation.

[Limp Brisket 546]

Osuna gonna come out with some extra fire against his old club.  

[Victor Lazlo 1,780]

Big insurance run there. 

[runthebone 8,052]

Loving the insurance. 

[Guadaloopy 11,033]

Great to see Altuve back to his old self consistently.   

[Limp Brisket 546]

Osuna was roundly booed by the Toronto crowd.  He was traded, right?

Would we boo Giles?  He's the only former Astro I could see getting booed for the circumstances of his departure.

My guess is that Osuna was booed primarily for the DV issue.

Before the news article yesterday, I think the crowd would be generally indifferent towards him.  If we played in Houston tonight, he'd be booed for sure.  Odds are, though, that everyone will forget about his comments by the next time Toronto comes to Houston.

Yeah we picked him up from Toronto, the boos were expected.  

The circumstances surrounding the departure of Osuna vs Giles were obviously very different, I doubt we’d boo Giles if the situation last night were reversed.  He’s a headcase but he did help us win a WS.

Definitely.  Astros fans love to boo guys for very little reason.

But players like Rasmus and Fiers are still pretty damned beloved, as far as opponents go.  For me, Giles' play and self abuse don't make him "boo-able."  When he told off Hinch, that was when he told the world he no longer wanted to be an Astro...in front of everyone.  That's what changed my opinion on the guy.

 

Guadaloopy- I definitely get that DV was a hugely different factor for Osuna's departure from TOR.  They were booing every pitch though.

Hell 90% of you fucks are gonna boo Keuchel when he returns to MMP next season it seems.

That's a cool picture.  Kevin Bass had some guns.  You mostly only see the ones immediately after the final out

Are you kidding?
Giles would have been (and will be) booed mercilessly either way

Look at what Houston fans did to Beltran, a guy who had the best offensive postseason we’ve ever seen, for simply following the money

Us and A’s lose today...Run it back tomorrow with TBD on the mound?

[BornOrange 1,441]

Did Lidge get booed when he returned to Houston?

He was the last (and only) Astro I remember getting boos while he was playing for the Astros.

[runthebone 8,052]

September 25, 1986 was a glorious day.

For lesser men, a bicep that looks that good would be that man’s best feature. Kevin Bass’ mustache says ‘Not so fast, my friend’
