2019 Houston Astros Thread

[Iceman 2,724]

framing is baseball's flop.

 

I hate it.  It is so fucking weak by the umps.  Fuck the catchers.

[UTEX_ME 4,766]

making Correa look silly there

[cabowabo 4,492]

The fuck Carlos?

[Tommy Nobis 905]

making Correa look silly there

Yep especially considering strike 2 was ball 4.

[staboner 4,984]

we are hitting him hard

but also seem a bit dumb again against tanaka. correa AB wasn't great.

nice to see alvarex hit the ball though

come on stros

[Lat22 4,015]

I don’t know how we’ve won two games with most of our lineup batting under .200 in the postseason. 

[elfenix 34,331]

easy inning please

Colander. 

[Gut Wagon 8,086]

I’m thinking more than a 74 mph blooper got ZG in trouble. Gotta throw real strikes or get more chasing a la Sanchez.

Their lineup has been shut down.  That's why I didn't like the rainout.  They had 3 runs in 20 innings coming in.  It's got to be in their heads.

Zack just needs to throw strikes in the bottom third and trust his infield.

we've pulled this shit off and on for the past 4 seasons or so.

when we're in the middle of it, we wonder if we'll ever hit again.

we didn't really hit in the 2017 alcs either.  didn't hit until a few games into the world series.

Leadoff 1st pitch popup is so much better than a leadoff walk

eh, i would need to see more evidence.

[TexArcher 37,998]

Nice sequence to Didi and he hit a good pitch.  Asshole.

[elfenix 34,331]

fuck off shift

[Telegraph_it 3,358]

Why can’t we get those weak ass hits. 

[cabowabo 4,492]

Nice play. 

[TexArcher 37,998]

Nice play, Yuli!!

you mean if they throw a strike to contact, it might result in an out?

 

Telegram to fucking Greinke...quit being twinkletoed motherfucker and throw strikes, dude.

Eh it was a bloop would have fallen anyway

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Yuli is an underrated fielder.

[TonyTexas 10,520]

I suggest all of you pussies who live and die with every pitch/batter immediately head to the liquor store before 9 or call your dealer because y’all need to settle down.

Provide the evidence that supports us scoring more than three runs

greinke needs a set of nuts...  Can you order him a pair to-go?

[ChickenSandwich 9,845]

Fuck yes. Call it consistently ump. What you call a strike to Bregman needs to be a strike for the Yankees as well

This game is annoying

Time to score

I hate everyone involved with this god damned Charmin commercial.

Um, he just struck out Judge with softball pitches.  A different kind of bold.

[Limp Brisket 546]

Can we go Chrinos Reddick and only 1 out?

[TexArcher 37,998]

Holy shit, I just realized that's Bubbles tending bar in the Charlize Theron commercial.  Andre Royo.

[Wishbone 4,763]

Good ab for Chirinos.

[elfenix 34,331]

walk chirinos. 

 

[Limp Brisket 546]

Alright, alright, alright

[WBT 20,649]

The xBA for Springer, Yuli, and Yordan are .780, .550, and .820.  There was a 1.8% chance that all 3 would be outs. 

Let's take advantage of this leadoff walk.

[Honeysucklerose 990]

What is reddick wearing?? Putz

[TexArcher 37,998]

There you go, Chirinos!  Start a rally.

i apologize.  Still got the redass for his charmin treatment for shit-heel Gardner.

 

Scoreboard is on Greinke.

[kevwun 15,817]

Ok, let's score a dozen or so.

[Wishbone 4,763]

Noice!

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Another CI for Josh.

[WBT 20,649]

Wooooooo!!  Reddick special with the CI but still dumped it in for a hit.

[Limp Brisket 546]

Damage coming

[TexArcher 37,998]

Come on, George!!!
