2019 Houston Astros Thread

[tx 3 putt 77246]

Any Cole news ?!?

[Fudge Nuggets 19209]

I wish this team could go full strength for more than 12 hours at a time.

[Mo Horn 8852]

That doesn't sound good

[Lat22 4015]

Alvarez would be batting .500 if if weren’t for the shift.

[kevwun 15812]

Or they decided they are ok with a split and don't want Cole and Greinke to pitch today making them have to call up someone this weekend to start.

I’ve never rooted for anyone I like to have the sharts before.

This was my thought, concede a bullpen day and go start strong against the A’s.  They had a rain delay to think about it.

Always fashioned Cole as more of a NY-style pizza guy rather than Chicago

Better now than oct 13

Ummm
I doubt they decided this mid-pregame warmup routine.

Hopefully an ill-timed stomach bug or became clear weather was going to disrupt this game after he started

Damn, here I thought the Astros were trying to win every game especially the winnable ones.

[Fudge Nuggets 19209]

When Reddick bats 6th, probably not going to be an offensive breakout night.

I wasn’t laughing at you, Chicago pizza has torn my ass up until I learned deep dish is NOT the way to go.

[Mo Horn 8852]

Just a minute ago it looked like Cole was talking to Hinch in the background of the shot. It looked to be a pretty lighthearted conversation.

Plus Nova has a 0.65 ERA over his last four starts.  Or something ridiculous like that. 

[Limp Brisket 546]

Right hamstring apparently.

[kevwun 15812]

Who hasn't had a hamstring problem this year?

If they think another round of showers are likely, that would be another good reason to pull him.

Definitely a possibility.  Why burn Cole on a potential delay game?

[TonyTexas 10519]

The dreaded discomfort

[Guadaloopy 10993]

Hammy.  Yuck

Radar shows nothing the rest of the night. 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4780]

ChiSox TV reported Cole felt “right hamstring discomfort” and shut himself down. 

[henrygandorf 29194]

well the discomfort we hate is typically associated with the forearm. not sure about the hamstring. 

[David Dennison 18940]

What the hell is up with our S&C staff?

[Fudge Nuggets 19209]

Our hamstring guy needs his ass fired yesterday.  This is fucking ridiculous.

Another fucking hamstring 

[DaysOff 7963]

Hydrate and stretch motherfuckers.

[cabowabo 4492]

I can live with discomfort. Pain is a whole different animal. 

[WBT 20646]

Hope he's back for Game 3 of the LDS

[cabowabo 4492]

God damnit Devo. 

[WBT 20646]

f all these little bleeders

[Fudge Nuggets 19209]

Fucking hell, Devo.

[Mo Horn 8852]

Yeah, it's gonna be one of those games

[tx 3 putt 77246]

Damn 

[Fudge Nuggets 19209]

No matter how bad the other team is, you give them 6 outs in an inning they will fuck you up.

[henrygandorf 29194]

devo doing devo things.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Might as well make Devo go 5 and just get blown out tonight. He’s not making the playoff roster anyways.

[Mo Horn 8852]

It doesnt help that were facing Cy Nova tonight. 

[thetruth 149]

To early to drink bleach? "Discomfort" is a death sentence for Astros

[Limp Brisket 546]

Hopefully the bats have one of those 10 or 23 run games in them...

OK, I'll bite.

Why?

[henrygandorf 29194]

wait, did i miss the part where bregman also is not playing due to injury?

[runthebone 8024]

It'll be ok, Cole can just use the other hamstring.  That is how it works, right?

Boo boo from when he got beaned the other day.

From the shoulder blade hit, sitting out.

[HoustonFrog 368]

Why are we forfeiting this game?

[tx 3 putt 77246]

Got one back 

[Mo Horn 8852]

They changed the scoring for Diaz to a hit and an E-6. That's nuts, it was a ground ball straight to the shortstop. No way he beats that out.
