2018 Houston Astros Season Thread

I would have expected this would be Reed on Simpson’s donut jersey night

[Mez2 4,048]

That fan is on surly

[Scraps 13,799]

 

He must be a simpsons fan

[perfectchaos007 6,780]

Hope a 4 run cushion is enough for our pen

[Mez2 4,048]

Looking back at goddess' swing, that was such a great swing, the way the tracks the ball down all the way through and keeps his head down and through the swing is picture perfect, no hyperbole

[TonyTexas 10,754]

I wonder if Fisher is going to get Wally Pipped. Can’t send Kemp down. Reddick is coming back soon. Are Jake and J.D. the victims?

Can you get wally pipped if you're not that good to begin with?

That’s the joke?
Willie Pipp was a poor man’s Wally?

[Scraps 13,799]

Goodnight

This is awesome....

 

[UTexasFight 9,814]

Joe Kelly gave up 4 runs on opening day. He’d given up 1 since then... until the 3 in the 8th tonight.

[Planet Houston 4,950]

Very nice win, great to see the bats so good against serious quality pitching. We have had virtually no games like that - seems that any game where we put up a crooked number is against a scrub.

Hell, I was disappointed Kemp wasn't in the lineup last night, even though I understood why Hinch started the righties.

 

Until about 3 weeks ago, I never saw THAT feeling coming.  Kemp is earning himself a damned job.

You know who had the perfect swing for the Astros? It's a shame he just can't make contact 80% of the time.

Chris Carter

I like beer and baseball.  Unfortunately I live 6,500 miles away so I don't think I'm going to make it.

Our efforts in that area haven’t been as efffctive so far. But we’re still trying.

remember when Springer and Singleton were the young bucks who gave hope...

 

that Altuve wasn't the only player worth a shit on the entire team.

[henrygandorf 29,225]

so in the al east, the yankees are in first place, a half game back of the red sox.  that doesn't happen very often.

Kind of like in golf where if you have 20 guys tied at -5 they list them alphabetically... unless Tiger Woods is one of those at -5, then all of a sudden he gets to the top of the heap.

[Fudge Nuggets 19,453]

Anyone got the lineup for tonight?

[Mo Horn 8,937]

Lots of pitches in the 1st for JV

[Guest]

Fuck that fan for reaching out there and then grinning like, "Yeah, I have a right to the ball too."

 

Fuck you tool boy.  Keep your cap on your head.

[cabowabo 4,687]

Been a godsend for me out here on the west coast

[Fudge Nuggets 19,453]

I turned the game on and next pitch Marwin ties it up.

But Jake will be Jake.  What in the ever living hell was that?

Back when I was a kid we called 'em "Strikeouts".

 

Now they call 'em "Jakes".
