2018 Houston Astros Season Thread

[Gut Wagon 8,214]

Longoria has fallen on hard times since Tony Parker dumped her. 

[Smax 3,800]

Strange pitching change

[Mo Horn 8,933]

 Why would any park have their warm up area on the field? Recipe for injury. 

[Smax 3,800]

It's odd and Oakland is the same way

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

At least Fisher swung the bat this time.

[TonyTexas 10,685]

I understand Oakland because it is a football stadium but don’t get it in a modern baseball park like this one.

[runthebone 8,322]

Hnnnnnnnggggghhh

[UTexasFight 9,790]

Pick off walk off?

[Scraps 13,747]

Close but i think safe by those angles

[TonyTexas 10,685]

6-2 road trip against good teams with this current roster seems like a miracle.

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Ballgame!

[tx 3 putt 78,475]

Keep racking up W’s !

[Gut Wagon 8,214]

If I were a Giants fan, I'd be sick after these two games. But I'm not. So I'm not. 

[UTexasFight 9,790]

6-2 road trip
F the doom and gloom haters after last Sunday afternoon

[tx 3 putt 78,475]

This split squad is taking care of business !!!!!!

[Horny Bull 2,766]

This team showing some fight without a good chunk of our lineup.

[Rustic Horn 929]

 

[Smax 3,800]

Still 1 game better then last year?

[TonyTexas 10,685]

Bullpen this road trip - 20 IP, 0.00 ERA

[Tommy Nobis 905]

6-2 road trip against good teams with this current roster seems like a miracle.

This was posted like 6mins before the game was over for me. What are you watching it on? I’m watching on directv.

[UTexasFight 9,790]

we wont get more than 4 hits with this lineup

Maybe THEY won’t get more than 4 hits...

That seems good.

Jesus

I can’t even believe that’s something that’s real

[Jshep34 2,425]

Not saying he is good luck but since this hand shake , great white has hit a couple bombs and played decent

Umm.... they forgot, so goes the apocryphal story from Bay Area fans and foes.

These wins feel especially good with this lineup.  

[Rimbo 26,859]

I love the AAAstros!

[elfenix 34,661]

Astros win!

[Hank Chinaski 6,346]

It feels like this road trip offsets some of those excruciating 1-0 and 2-1 losses earlier in the season.

Is that good ?

Hell, the starters only gave up 10 runs. What a pitching staff!

Damn baseball. These things always even out over the year, just makes it frustrating at the time when you feel like you are giving games away

[Simon Honeybone 113]

Had a blast on this road trip.  Does anyone on here know the guy who was heckling the shit out of Buehler on Sunday at Dodger Stadium?  That shit was thoroughly hilarious I about died when he was calling Buehler out for playing the wrong sport saying we weren't playing cricket when he bounced that pitch feet in front of the plate.

The Marwin bomb was much needed since I was a whopping 1-2 in games this season (Verlander win @MFY and Fan Interference Gate in Denver)

That boy's wearing a dress. Guess you have to put it on him everyday.

Can you arrange a healing session with Altuve, Correa, Springer, McCullers and lilshep.  I'm thinking he is the chosen one. Greatest concentration of midichlorions in a millenium.

Only size shirt they had for him. Last time he was on field for same thing he was 3 and took off running down 3rd base line. That day was valbuena and he went on to hit over 350 for a few weeks after that.

Hopefully thursday before game he can get with them. 

 

Bulpen was decent this road trip

Not so fast. Last year McCann wore a robe, and we won the WS. So I’m thinking of this as just another robe...that will lead to the same outcome.

Out of pocket today. Looking back on this blog while the game was being played. Its come to my attention, that some of you should not be watching the game and posting at the same time. Not good for your mental health.

Oh they know who they are. err maybe not.

[APMP 688]

No Astros tonight. No idea what to do, already watched the Marwin and White home runs a few dozen times.

[APMP 688]

[Chuckie Finster 22,979]

Giles just gave up 5 runs in the top of the 10th inning.

[TonyTexas 10,685]

Lulz. Giles is broken.

 

[Mez2 4,041]

Replay of the game is on right now, here comes big pudding in the top of the eight

Damn I hate to see this. I hope he turns it around

I'm really afraid he's going to be another Donnie Moore. 

[perfectchaos007 6,766]

Giles was hoping a change of scenery would turn around his fortunes. Nope
