2019 Houston Astros Thread

Fuck. Overpitched Cole. Now that's gonna be wasted. Should have just let him pitch a 140 pitch complete game.

how the fuck does he look so good in the 8th and so f'n atrocious in the 9th?

Because he was used correctly in the 9th.

Hinch is lowering his trade value with the Mets.

I would trade him for a bucket of balls and maybe one 🍻 at this point

You will.  He's fine when used correctly.  Hinch gooned it tonight.  It's not Osuna's fault that he's coming out of the dugout instead of the bullpen for an inning.

Yeah, I’m with you on that. 

[staboner 4969]

huge goddamn SO

[tx 3 putt 76916]

please get this last out, please 

[HtownHorn 14677]

Osuna is not a 2 inning pitcher.

[thetruth 149]

TRILL HARRIS IS THE GOAT

[perfectchaos007 6635]

2-0

[cabowabo 4484]

Great fucking job Will!!

[elfenix 34234]

ASTROS W!@IN  2-0 LEAD!

[GHOSTUSER 361]

Fuck yes! Will Harris is the man

[Fudge Nuggets 19190]

I love Will Harris.

[Mo Horn 8832]

I can't take this. Big win

[Gut Wagon 8065]

There’s my closer.

Especially when you have Harris and Pressly in your pocket.

[TexArcher 37774]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS...........

[Rimbo 25921]

....aaaaaand EXHALE 

[clapclapclap 9000]

Whew!  

[runthebone 7978]

Harris is our most reliable reliever

[tx 3 putt 76916]

9 more to go 

[Brisketexan 105098]

Whew.

[Nueces River Rat 5538]

Today was not good day for the blood pressure.  Horns for awhile in the afternoon and now this ending.   Goodnight. 

[ut74 72]

Will Harris saved the day.

[FondrenRoad 4378]

Whew.  Damn, that was way closer than it needed to be. 

[Gourmand 7774]

never in doubt, bitches

 

[HtownHorn 14677]

Pressly and Osuna are the weak links on this team right now. Going to have to figure out how to manage around your 8th/9th inning guys being untrustworthy.

[Cosimo de' Medici 121]

[UDontKnow 10444]

Glad the Astros held serve at home. No clue what will happen with Greinke vs CFM.

I say, Got Damn!

[Harrison Stafford 3335]

Our bullpen scares the ever lovin' shit out of me.  

[tx 3 putt 76916]

Our LSU boys shined today

Hahaha. Bro, that shit was in doubt. Bullpen is still a concern. 

Also, I don't know if I like Cole hitting a career high pitch count in a historic effort in the divisional series.  Gonna need him to still have enough to do that shit in the next two series. 

[runthebone 7978]

"Rays should feel good" sounds like losertalk to me.

9 more. Rough up Charlie early. No mercy game3. Didn’t show the game time on the graphics they showed

girardi and arod both saying this. being down 2-0 in a five game series makes it impossible to feel good about anything

Last time the Astros faced CFM it wasn't pretty for the Rays.

Why should they feel good(Alex and Frank)? We beat their 2 best pitchers and they had to tax their bullpen. Morton isn't likely getting through 5 IP on Monday.

Cole will be fine.

Yeah, Cole has a near effortless delivery, and he's about to get a week off.

[clapclapclap 9000]

Bregman blinking SOS in morse code while stating that they had total faith in Osuna during the 9th.

[Limp Brisket 546]

2-0, Greinke up next on my 1st sick day of the year, how convenient.

They do have Morton going.  2 Cy Young candidates won't be pitching. Have to play every game like it's the wild card. One game at a time. If they were ever gonna be favored to win any games, game 3 would be the one.  After that, 1 win ties the series. They could get lucky in game 4 just like they could have done tonight. 

Osuna is getting some undeserved blame.  He isn't a 2 inning pitcher. We left a lot of guys on base. Could have been 5 or 6 to 0 in the 9th and all this drama wouldn't have happened. 

 

[tx 3 putt 76916]

Greinke is going to foaming at the mouth on Monday. Can't wait !!!!

[Mack Tripper 696]

Recency bias

[tx 3 putt 76916]

hinch said he wasn't taking out osuna until he absolutely had to 

every match up favored osuna

Thank you Will Smith Harris. Maldonado deserves mvp after that. Whew

Yeah. Maldonado was a monster on defense today. Whole different guy than he was in the playoffs last year. 

[tx 3 putt 76916]

osuna is the closer
