2019 Houston Astros Thread

[Telegraph_it 3354]

What the hell is up with us and 2 outs. 

Edited October 13, 2019 by Telegraph_it

[Iceman 2640]

The yankees are doing what they normally do at the plate.

 

Astros look like a 4th grader facing Randy Johnson.

[Telegraph_it 3354]

Now this is some hitting. Fucking a. 

[UTexasFight 9380]

Good hustle/work by Tucker this inning to not give up extra 90’

[thetruth 149]

What the fuck Pressly. 

[clapclapclap 9000]

So haven't missed Reddick so far.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Pressly hasn’t been right since got hurt.

Yup. 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Fuck

[elfenix 34171]

fuckfuckfuckfuck

[Wishbone 4739]

We have 1 fucking hit through 6. Pathetic. WTF is up with our lineup? Fuck this nonsense.

[Guadaloopy 10926]

Well that sucked.  

[thetruth 149]

Yanks punched us in the mouth and we've responded like bitches.

Wrong. The Astros look like a pigeon flying in front of Randy Johnson.

[Mez2 4021]

Fuck this team,  the Astros too

[gecko 1104]

I was hoping Pressley could have gotten out of that jam. That could have inspired us to get another hit

Yes, we all hoped that

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Pressly has sucked this post season. He gave up a couple to the rays Game
1 of that series also.

[Mack Tripper 696]

Well we better be inspired for about 12 hits now.

[TexArcher 37519]

God damned bloop fucking hit.  Lucky bastard.

[Gut Wagon 8052]

We were in a hole before the pitching change. But Pressly continues to be subpar, which could be an even bigger concern. We really need him to be what he was.

I think it was a dove. Close though.

[tx 3 putt 76400]

bats better wake up over night or we're going down 2-0 

[TexArcher 37519]

I am so fucking ragey right now.  Fuck this whole day.

[billfromlaketravis 11362]

Greinke pitched well enough to win, this is entirely on the bats. 

[DaysOff 7853]

Just win JV, Cole and JV, Cole

Easy

[softlynow 1783]

[sidis 9754]

No way.  JV and Cole are gonna dominate.

This. I should have switched to bourbon much, much earlier today. Being asleep right now sounds great.

Reminds me of the day we lost to Nebraska and Wildcats in BB on the same day. I went to both. As I recall there was an epic hornfans post about the day.

[billfromlaketravis 11362]

Only Yordan can hit it out to straight away center. 

[clapclapclap 9000]

It's just game 1, and it isn't even over, but if we don't advance the season can be basically summed up in 2 words:  Charlie Morton

I understood the logic of Luhnow letting him go, but in hindsight it may have been the difference.  Not just the perhaps different rotation order facing the Yankees, but the $ for Greinke might have gone to actual bullpen help at the deadline.  We have Harris and maybe Osuna we can rely on.

Plate anemia.

[atomheartbevo 89449]

Finally.

Did the Astros not want to match or was there something else? 

[TexArcher 37519]

There you go, Brantley.

Two hard hit balls off Ottavino.  Good sign.  I'll take any I can find.

[Wishbone 4739]

Fuck yeah! Just doubled our hit output.

I think it was partially money but more a concern of how effective they projected him to be over the life of the contract.

[atomheartbevo 89449]

What the fuck is happening.  

[TexArcher 37519]

And there's a break!

Come on, Bregman, how about a gapper for 2 runs?!

Law of averages says they will lose 1 of their 4 starts.

OTOH, if we can just win 1 of games 1, 4, or 5...it looks real good for us.

[Wishbone 4739]

Lulz!

[Wishbone 4739]

Out

[TexArcher 37519]

Fucking hell.

Please don't quote me, but I saw somewhere that Morton or someone in his family didn't like Houston. I'd blame the weather, but it's probably hotter and even more humid in Tampa. 

[Scraps 13542]

Just win JV, Cole and JV, Cole

Easy

Still gotta hit

[cabowabo 4453]

That ump needs to get his shit checked.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Baseball sucks dick. Hit all season and slump for a couple
Weeks and you’re done.
