2019 Houston Astros Thread

[Mo Horn 8843]

I didn't expect him to get pulled this early, especially because he had settled down. 

[Limp Brisket 546]

I’m not comfortable with 4-1, want more.

[Guadaloopy 10971]

Why can’t announcers on these national broadcasts pronounce “Gurriel”? It’s not hard.

Cash thinks he’s a genius now after game 4.   

[elfenix 34243]

damn close

[kevwun 15789]

AJ says Ozuna also.

They've done bullpen games all year. I just didn't think they'd do it tonight. 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

If we're expecting Choi to chase, it looks like he isn't going to.

I just don't get it.  He struggled mightily in the first, sure.  But I don't pull a guy who's retired 7 straight with a low pitch count.  I think it's the opposite of clever: he knows he's gonna get criticized if he leaves Glasnow in there and he gives up any more runs.  Pulling him is playing it safe, in a way.  But I wouldn't have done it there.

[henrygandorf 29191]

why can't we throw this dude strikes.  he's not barry bonds.

[Guadaloopy 10971]

A.J. says “Choi has the best eye I’ve ever seen”, while Bregman is right there on the field.  

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19101]

These announcers need to shut the fuck up.

i've had it on mute since the 1st inning.

i had it on mute when marwin hit the homer in g2.

it's a common source of friction in the gandorf living room.

The only way to watch is to listen to the local guys in XM while you watch. Takes a minute to sync the video with audio but it’s an infinitely better viewing experience.

[Mo Horn 8843]

Nasty

[TexArcher 37774]

That's a hell of a response to a leadoff single.  Just strike the next two guys out, no big deal.

[elfenix 34243]

ꓘKKKK

[UTexasFight 9450]

Please knock these guys out

[henrygandorf 29191]

need a 2-spot.

love scoring early, but we have a tendency to fall asleep for 5-6 innings.

[kevwun 15789]

Thought Correa got that one.

[Guadaloopy 10971]

Man... looked like he got that one.  

[Fudge Nuggets 19190]

Oh come the fuck on.  Fucking dead ball.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Thought so too

Edited October 11, 2019 by Seasick Sailor

[TonyTexas 10515]

Dead ball hurting us  

 

[TexArcher 37774]

Fuck, I thought that was off the gas pump when he hit it.

[YChang 3446]

Fuck..... thought Carlos got all of that one.

[clapclapclap 9000]

I will never understand how AJP made it through his career without getting fragged.

[Fudge Nuggets 19190]

I’ve seen Carlos hit enough balls like that over the last few years that wound up in the concourse.  No doubt they have fucked with the balls.

[Wishbone 4761]

Anyone else think Carlos had that one?

[Limp Brisket 546]

Woooooooo!!!  That’s what the ball sounds like when it goes by Reddick’s bat in the postseason.

[Mo Horn 8843]

Shitty at bat Josh

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Reddick's ABs are tough to watch at this point. Could Jake really do any worse?

Should have gone with Tucker 

[Guadaloopy 10971]

Reddick almost took himself out of the lineup with his little temper tantrum helmet toss.  

[Fudge Nuggets 19190]

I’ve seen enough of playoff Reddick.  He’s ass.

Yeah seriously and I’m a Reddick fan. 

[Johnny Sack 8397]

Reddick really, really fucking sucks.  

[Shaggy3.0 1695]

Reddick is useless. Tucker or Jake give you more.

Correa is Correa.

[VivaNaranja 466]

Did Reddick just hit himself in the face with his batting helmet?

Edited October 11, 2019 by VivaNaranja

[Guadaloopy 10971]

He hasn’t had a postseason moment since Game 4 of the 2017 ALDS.  That’s a pretty long stretch of futility.  And I too am a Reddick fan.  

[thetruth 149]

I stuck up for his defense before the game, but he's so atrocious at the the plate I don't think the defense is defend able at this point.

Yeah, even his helmet is fed up with him.

Especially when Jake's defense is better. 

[Limp Brisket 546]

PSA:  We are winning this fucking game.

[Guadaloopy 10971]

Cole is getting back on schedule to go 8.  

[TexArcher 37774]

Fuck yeah, Gerrit!!

Through 5 on 70 pitches.  Yes sir.

[YChang 3446]

Love Cole’s strut off the mound on that last pitch. 

[Fudge Nuggets 19190]

Yeah, good fucking luck trying to hit that one.  Cole impressed himself with it.
