2018 Houston Astros Season Thread

Did Lidge get booed when he returned to Houston?
He was the last (and only) Astro I remember getting boos while he was playing for the Astros.

What?
Gomez
Gregerson
Giles
Come to mind off the top of the top of my head in the last 3 years... and that’s just the letter G

Game 2

Don't let utphil have them.

[Mez2 4020]

dumb question and too lazy to look up, what's the playoff schedule looking like - do we know when our first game(s) will be just yet or need to clinch and then confirm

[kevwun 15595]

This is probably the best we can get this far out.  No times yet, only dates.

My mom surprised me by leaving work early and bringing home tickets to that game that some exec in her sales dept gave her. Everyone at her company knew her son was a big Astros fan so she got freebies to a lot of Astros games during those years.  School let out around the same time the game started so we didn't get there until the third inning. First thing on the scoreboard that I looked at was the visitor's goose egg under the hit line. That was a very unforgettable sports day.

I meant that Lidge was the last before Giles. 

Others have been booed because of poor performances, but the boos with Lidge and Giles would start as soon as they were announced.

I guess it started getting that way with Gomez too, but I have tried to block out 2016.

10/6
Texas/ou at 11 rolling into Astros/Indians ~3pm (If I had to guess) is going to be fantastic.

[kevwun 15595]

I am hoping for a late game that day, but I know it's not gonna happen.  We're going to Fredericksburg for Oktoberfest that Saturday.

[tx 3 putt 76158]

I remember watching that game on tv, that night was pure magic

Nolan’s performance the nights before was outstanding

fuck the Mets

With the other AL series possibly BOS-NYY or even if it's BOS-OAK, we aren't going to get any late games.

[kevwun 15595]

Yeah, just like last year.

THats am accurate guess as the Red Sox will get primetime whether it’s yankees or a’s

[UTexasFight 9369]

Check your emails
I just got notified I’m selected for LDS pre-sale tomorrow (even though I didn’t sign up in time for that series).

[kevwun 15595]

Nothing for me.  If there's a link or code that's not person specific, hook us up.

Just got an email saying that I wasn't selected, and I only applied for ALCS/World Series tickets.

I was denied also for the ALDS but I didn't even apply for those tickets.  I did the ALCS and World Series drawing.

Just got my email also.  Denied.

Hell 90% of you fucks are gonna boo Keuchel when he returns to MMP next season it seems.  

He's an Okie Razorback and this is a Longhorn board. If he wasn't a long-time Astro, he'd be hated here more than Pujols.

[Mez2 4020]

Just got an email saying I was selected to purchase tickets for the ALDS. 

I can purchase up to 4 to each game. Thanks Shep, but will likely go this route. May end up going with 4 seats for the games

[tx 3 putt 76158]

Thanks for the invite !

Thanks for posting this.  For the sake of avoiding any distractions this is pretty good news.  I hope he’s reformed or extremely thankful for the reprieve.

[runthebone 7929]

I think there was a potential Canadian visa issue that is now moot.

Don't be a piece of shit, Osuna.

 

Astros statement

https://www.mlb.com/astros/news/roberto-osuna-agrees-to-peace-bond-for-a-year/c-295972434

Osuna agrees to peace bond; charges dropped
MLB.com

The Houston Astros released the following statement regarding Roberto Osuna, who agreed to a peace bond for one year.

"Today, the Ontario Court of Justice withdrew the assault charge against Roberto Osuna. The Houston Astros look forward to Roberto continuing his commitment to be a productive and caring part of our community.

"The Astros remain committed to increase our support regarding the issues of domestic violence and abuse of any kind. We have engaged with a number of local, state and national organizations -- and we look forward to working with them in the short term and over the long term." 

 

[Cooder 37]

Odds are, though, that everyone will forget about his comments by the next time Toronto comes to Houston.

You're talking about a fanbase that boo'd Beltran from 2005-2016 lol

Okay, fair point.  

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Might I suggest "Peace Train" for Osuna's playoff entrance music? 

[Guadaloopy 10903]

They just showed some quick interview comments from Correa on MLB network.  He says he is feeling better, but his demeanor doesn’t show it.    

 

Also, with James getting the start tonight, I think we’ll see an inning or two from McCullers.  

[Mack Tripper 693]

Maybe the good people of Toronto were booing Osuna because they ended up with Giles.

[TonyTexas 10478]

Also, with James getting the start tonight, I think we’ll see an inning or two from McCullers.  

I’m pretty sure that’s going to happen. If not today then definitely during tomorrow’s bullpen day.

[Scraps 13531]

Dat boy good

[Guadaloopy 10903]

Terrible strike two to Bregs.   But he makes ‘em pay.  

[Scraps 13531]

We celebrating tomorrow

[Guadaloopy 10903]

Wow.   In that last dugout shot, ‘Tuve looked a little too comfortable with his hand on Correa’s leg.   NTTAWWT.

MLB Network keeps saying that Astros clinch with a win, but they are wrong.   They would clinch at least a tie and game 163.  Need to finish tonight, and A’s lose or finish it on the field tomorrow.

I know what needs to happen and I'm confident it will.

Like i said. We celebrating tomorrow

[Scraps 13531]

Hey motherfucker control your shit you worthless cocksucker who gets to go fishing in a week. We got shit to win bitch

[Guadaloopy 10903]

That was too frickin close.   Texas would have invaded Canada if that would have hit George.   Especially after the long foul ball that preceded it.  Total BS.

I’m not so sure that was a 100% control issue.  George almost went yard earlier in the AB.  

[runthebone 7929]

I love watching that Scott clip.  Will Clark making the final out, Doran and Davis and Kerfeld.  Good times.

[runthebone 7929]

He knocked the crap out of that one.

[henrygandorf 29174]

so correa is dh'ing tomorrow it sounds like.

[Guadaloopy 10903]

Another great performance from James.   Making it real hard to leave him off of any postseason roster.  

[TonyTexas 10478]

Nice baserunning Marwin. Can’t believe he made it so easily on that.
