2018 Houston Astros Season Thread

Jose Abreu is an old slugging .441. No thanks.

[HtownHorn 14691]

If we are going to add a 1B, go get Votto, salary be damned.

The answer to our pen may be Forrest Whitley.. We can strengthen from within.. 

[Fozzz 152]

I think his back injury has made that unlikely.  Still, Josh James, Cionel, and Deetz each look ready to contribute to the pen.

Time to shine JD !

[UTexasFight 9454]

Time to shine JD !

Just not tonight

[TonyTexas 10515]

I’m surprised JD isn’t playing, especially with a lefty going for the Angels. AJ usually likes to throw call ups right into the fire.

I don't remember Yuli looking great at 3rd when he played there a few weeks ago, but he may just need some regular practice to get back in the feel of it.

Yuli can handle 3rd just fine. Give him a week to acclimate. He was good there a few years ago.

Whats Abreu numbers against lefties. We need a hammer for this alone and this alone.

Correa will not be activated during this road trip. Astros next home game is next Friday against Arlington.

Might be time to go get a SS or 3B. 

[Scraps 13561]

Oh god more eschenfelder.

[tx 3 putt 76980]

The boys are back !!!!

[WBT 20586]

Kalas takes off 10 straight days in the middle of the season?  What does he think he's a kindergarten teacher?

[WBT 20586]

Starting to come together for George.  Good job staying on that slow curve.

[tx 3 putt 76980]

 Fuck me 

[Scraps 13561]

Safe

[tx 3 putt 76980]

Safe 

[WBT 20586]

what is he doing though?

Edited July 21, 2018 by WBT

[Scraps 13561]

Almost looked like hit and run but Bregman didn't make it look like that

[tx 3 putt 76980]

Another DP 

[DaysOff 7951]

Fuck. All Yuli does is crush balls.

[WBT 20586]

Damn, wish that could have dropped on the line.  Ted needs something to get him going.

[tx 3 putt 76980]

Come on springer 

[Scraps 13561]

I love Springer away bat

[tx 3 putt 76980]

Great job reddick 

[WBT 20586]

Lulz, Kinsler is a green light all the way.  SF-4 if you're scoring at home and if you're not, try flowers.

Edited July 21, 2018 by WBT

[Scraps 13561]

Lol at scoring on that.

[cabowabo 4487]

Where the fuck is Kalas?  Didn't he just have the All Star break?

[henrygandorf 29191]

also the 6 months where there's no baseball?

[henrygandorf 29191]

5 hits + 1 walk and we only have 2 runs, one of which was scored on a sac fly.

this is when we need to turn this into 5-0 and not into 2-1 in the 7th.

[thetruth 149]

GD it feels good to have Astros baseball back. Those were a long 4 days. 

[henrygandorf 29191]

you know you're a spoiled astros fan when we had a guy in the home-run derby, hit back to back extra inning homers in the a.s. game, and had the mvp, but the break was still a fucking beating.  right there with you.

[Scraps 13561]

Woooooo

[tx 3 putt 76980]

Hell yes, gattis was flying 

[cabowabo 4487]

Correa is a fucking pussy. 

[runthebone 7990]

Gattis did some speed work.

His entrance music should be Stone Cold's glass breaking until proven otherwise

Another insightful contribution from cabo

Here's another one: I butt fucked your mother last night.

[Scraps 13561]

I think im destined to catch Tuckers first career homer in Colorado. I'm sitting like row 2 in right field one of the games

I understand your frustration, but this decision is not up to him at all. He can't do anything without the blessing of team doctors.

 

[kevwun 15790]

It feels like Tucker goes down 0-2 in every at bat.

[WBT 20586]

Flying Yuli

[henrygandorf 29191]

hmmm, that'll work.

[ERhine 1894]

Wow, Yuli.

[runthebone 7990]

Wow!

[DaysOff 7951]

I literally love Yuli.

So you’re a necrophiliac? Not surprising.
