2018 Houston Astros Season Thread

[Fudge Nuggets 19465]

Oh well, at least top of the ninth won’t be stressful. 

[cabowabo 4692]

I hope these guys have enjoyed their 4 day holiday weekend 

[Fudge Nuggets 19465]

Lose the season series to a glorified AAA team.

[Lat22 4086]

Cmon! Let’s light MS13 up again!

[elfenix 34754]

Astros are terrible in Tampa. Clearly it's the curse of Gerry Hunsicker.

[Scraps 13807]

Pinch run for this fatass

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Astros are terrible in Tampa. Clearly it's the curse of Gerry Hunsicker.

I hate having to play in this shithole stadium. When is MLB going to force them to move?

[UTexasFight 9819]

Goodbye

[Fudge Nuggets 19465]

Fuck you Reddick. 

[UTexasFight 9819]

Kinda need to win here

Kinda burned our whole bench

[cabowabo 4692]

Why not bunt Springer over there?  Hinch is too smart for the rest of us. 

[Gut Wagon 8219]

DFA

[Scraps 13807]

Would much rather had marwin pinch run and Springer pinch hit for stassi

But whatever

[Lat22 4086]

Reddick is the goat today for sure.

[UTexasFight 9819]

That was a pathetic 4 days of baseball.

Get right against our whipping boys from Arlington

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Leave Marwin in Tampa

[henrygandorf 29228]

so by my math we've lost our last 4 games vs lefties.  can someone come on here and tell me how off base i am about us sucking vs lefties the last 3 years?

[Gut Wagon 8219]

This series was a circus. A bear doing cool things...and lots of clowns. 

Seriously, that was an absolute embarrassment. Morton deserved way better. 

[TonyTexas 10783]

I’ll be back Tuesday evening to see how y’all have torn this team down for the rebuild.

[Planet Houston 4950]

Gross. Not a stellar showing.

Bregman will have mucho trade value when he wins Player of the Month.  Think we’re stuck with that Verlander guy after his last two outings and huge contract.

Lets get our starters back. 

[tx 3 putt 78717]

has anyone been cut and/or called up yet ?

[henrygandorf 29228]

as long as gattis still thinks today was june 31st and our next game is on june 33rd, i'm fine with it.

[Scraps 13807]

I know the All Star game is just a glorified popularity contest, but all you fucks who fuck around on here can take 2 minutes and vote for Alex Bregman

Pretty impossible for him to catch Jose Ramirez I think, but we can at least try.

[mbtex 697]

Glad to be out of that dump of a ballpark. 

[DaysOff 8212]

Please start winning please.

[Fudge Nuggets 19465]

Hey, at least we ain't gonna lose today.

I wrote in Max Stassi for C.

[Scraps 13807]

Well that goes without saying.  I didn't think that needed to be mentioned.

I did let Trout take Marwin's AS spot though.

Meh. Fuck that. Kemp springer reddick. Fuck trout

[TonyTexas 10783]

Nice

So does the Tampa series get us off the ‘The feast on weak ass teams’ deal?

So fitting Blomez calls it home.  As stadiums go, it takes a mighty cut at it, but ends up falling down.

[UTexasFight 9819]

So going back to beginning of 2017, out of 18 chances, Astros have had pitcher or player of the month 6 times. Not bad. Not bad.

2017
Keuchel (April)
LMJ (May)
Correa (May)
Altuve (July)

2018
Verlander (May)
Bregman (June)

Springer and Morton both won November 2017.

 Got tickets for tonight's game. Me and the family down third base line, hoping to get on tv. All aboard the pain train, next stop: Arlington. Choo choo, bitches

Thanks to those cocksuckers in Arlington, it's like a home stadium for us...

[henrygandorf 29228]

i feel like we haven't won in weeks.

[Scraps 13807]

McCann to the DL with knee soreness....time to put him out to pasture

 

Tim Federowicz called up

Quote

The much-maligned Houston bullpen, by the way, has a 1.85 ERA since June 1, with 113 K's in 82⅔ innings.

 

[Gut Wagon 8219]

Hit the ball. Make routine defensive plays. With this pitching staff, all that should add up to a resumption of our winning ways. Let it begin now. 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

 

[Fozzz 152]

Hmm.  If that drags out for 2-3 months they have to think about giving Stubbs the call.  

[TonyTexas 10783]

[runthebone 8379]

Too bad about McCann.  Glad Stassi has stepped up this year.  Trade for a catcher now?

[TonyTexas 10783]

Nope. Stassi and Federowicz will do do fine. Stubbs is having a good year in Fresno if needed. McCann will be back for the homestretch. If you trade for a catcher, what do you do when Brian comes back?
