2019 Houston Astros Thread

[Wishbone 4759]

Ready to tie this thing up tonight with a win and bring it home after another w tomorrow to close it out. After the puke show I just witnessed in Ft. Worth, I need it even more now.

[runthebone 7981]

Consider the live chicken sacrificed.  Yordan goes yard as a PH tonight.

[alphahorn 1637]

GO Stros. please wash the memory of today's shitshow from my mind!

Urquidy will show up.  We got this

[housious 468]

How about an Astros and Tiger win to make up for Tom’s clusterfuck

oppo slap hits >>> rockets to players standing still

his error in game 2 blew that game open 

 

he's been complete crap this series. they should intentional walk every time tonight to pitch to him. same for alvarez. they're not beating you with their bats

Yes, a hit is better than an out, I get it. But on average, you'll have better outcomes the harder you hit the ball. 

The point is, if he keeps hitting the ball hard, the outcomes will improve. They won't always go directly to where defenders are standing. 

His defense has been disappointing, I agree.

Smoltz “Corbin has been great the 7 times he’s been used this postseason”

He’s 1-2 with a 6.91 era? Am I missing something?

[TexArcher 37774]

LOL at everybody slurping Corbin then they put that 6.91 playoff ERA on the screen.

We have to "try to steal this one," even though it's an even-money game and their guy's been a gas can.

Mkay, media.  Let's go.

Nope.  I pointed it out last night.  14.1 IP with 12 H and 10 BB.  He's been a disaster.

In fairness, it's a small sample size and he is a good pitcher.  But you'd think those numbers would at least make it into the pre-game analysis, right?

I'd be happy with Urquidy taking over defensive coaching duties in Forth Worth this afternoon, and then pitching in Washington this evening.

Woulda been happy with this.

 It's everything that's right about the game of baseball

[TexArcher 37774]

Be patient, guys.  Work counts and take waks.  Let's get what we can off Corbin and get to that bullpen by the 6th.

[tx 3 putt 76933]

Springer has also been a no show this series, horrible 

[atomheartbevo 89659]

Fuck that fucking call

[WBT 20564]

that was inside

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19101]

That wasn’t a strike.

[Mo Horn 8833]

If he gets that pitch it's going to be a long night

[elfenix 34238]

not a strike and now we'd have 2 on no outs

[TexArcher 37774]

Fuck off with that call.

Bad call on strike three

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

These umps are so inconsistent game to game 

[TexArcher 37774]

Altuuuuuveeeeee!

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19101]

Let’s see if we get the same strike zone.
