2018 Houston Astros Season Thread

[Guest]

Facemask Day...

 

good Lord.

[Rustic Horn 929]

Bregsled!

 

[UTexasFight 9433]

rangers got to edwin today.  a's down 4-2 but it's early.

that starting staff has to slow down at some point with all these injuries.

Bingo

And then the bullpen collapses from overuse

But maybe they knock out Severino in the one gamer the way he’s going.

 

Still think we’re watching the ALCS preview this weekend.

I kinda like that neither Sale or JV are going this weekend.

[Mo Horn 8836]

At least he gave it up with the bases empty

You know, I've been worried this season that the team didn't have the heart of last year's, but the past few series, including this one, have laid my fears to a somewhat embarrassing rest.

We may not win today. We might not win this series. Hell, there's an outside chance we don't even make the postseason. But I still love this team.

Finally got the whole squad back together other than McCullers and he’s close. 

[Rimbo 25932]

if xander were to suddenly land on the dl i wouldn't cry

I'd feel really guilty and awful about it, but I still wouldn't cry

He’s still throwing some wicked stuff.  Pure nasty.

 

Dude just guessed right.

But mostly Altuve.

[Mo Horn 8836]

Let's get that one back

[Guest]

I don’t see how anyone could question the heart/ desire/ motivation of this team.

 

So many dudes who are not quitters...

Right mix of youth and experience...

Yeah, they like to fuck around and keep it light,  but Altuve is driven like a mofo.  George . Bregman.  Verlander.  La Pina lives for the clutch moments.  Holy crap you could go on forever about the heart of this team.

[Guadaloopy 10970]

Four more innings of bullpen for both teams.  Advantage Astros.  

[Gut Wagon 8066]

Time to truck the rook. 

[Guadaloopy 10970]

Bregs licking his chops. 

[Mo Horn 8836]

How is this guys little stutter steps before he pitches not a balk? 

[Scraps 13561]

Because he becomes set after it

Just barely, but i guess it's enough. 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

This little pussies 90 mph fastball is eating our lunch

 He didn't on the last pitch

[YChang 3444]

Damn, thought they had something going there... nice job from the Rookie

[Fudge Nuggets 19190]

We should have fucked up that little bitch.

LULZ Smoltz talking about trading Bregman

 

john smoltz is a complete waste as an announcer 

[Scraps 13561]

James as a RP is a scary scary thing. He can be Giles without the suck

[Fudge Nuggets 19190]

Josh Fucking James, bitchez. 

[runthebone 7982]

CFM throwing high 90s then James low 100s. Too bad we don't have a knuckleballer to go next 

[tx 3 putt 76954]

doing work !

He scanned surly for his pre game notes. he was talking about the trade 'rumors' from last year 

[Scraps 13561]

Highly doubt you'd pass a physical

[Mo Horn 8836]

Glad he didn't start

[Gut Wagon 8066]

Need a clean inning here.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

James can earn some stripes if he gets through this inning. 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Nice K.

[Guest]

JJ Is din-O-mite!!!

[elguapo 4586]

JJ is filthy

[Guadaloopy 10970]

James having an impressive audition for postseason roster.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Well done, young man.

Great inning especially considering who he faced. 

[alphahorn 1637]

Love the way the Stros are coming together.  All that we really need now is for Correa to find his bat in time for the playoffs

Loved the Astros staff when I first started watching baseball of JR Richard, Nolan Ryan and Joe Neikro.  The other team was just fucked by the time they faced those three. 

[Fudge Nuggets 19190]

Let’s fuck em up. 

[Scraps 13561]

Lets facefuck Thornburg this inning
