2019 Houston Astros Thread

Astros win, Yanks lose, Dodgers lose, good day

 

Go ahead run from Dbacks was wild- took first on a passed ball K, stole second, 3rd on a hit to center, then balked in

Today was a good day !!!!

Traveshamockery of the first order. Then again, SOMEONE had to get it. 

Relief pitcher wins are always a crapshoot but he wasn't entirely ineffective.  And by getting out of the inning he made himself the pitcher of record when we took the lead.  It was good timing more than anything.

[Limp Brisket 549]

As expected, McHugh on the IL, Urquidy being called up.

official scorer could've given it to anyone in this situation.  but typically the guy who comes in first after the sp doesn't go a full 5, and is in when we take the lead, will get the nod, even if it's only 1-2 outs recorded.  but even last night, the scorer could've given it to biagini who might've deserved it more.

Understood. Thx fact he could do so little and get a win is simply an indictment of the rule.

[Mack Tripper 703]

They need to make up an injury to Devo and call up Arementeros.

Wouldn't mind seeing what Javier can do out of the bullpen if he's not at his innings limit.

[tx 3 putt 78470]

Fuck 

[henrygandorf 29221]

so sick of our warning track power.

This right here

[kevwun 16269]

I wish Altuve had gotten a day off instead of Uncle Mike.  Yeesh.

[TonyTexas 10683]

4th in HRs in baseball.

[runthebone 8322]

It's just a crapshoot with Framber.  Crap today.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Damn it, Framber. 

[Mez2 4041]

Framber sucks

Kinda wishing Craig Biggio was sterile right about now

[Gut Wagon 8214]

Let’s turn .200-ish Cavan into Craig, why don’t we? 

[Gut Wagon 8214]

Do it now. 

[Smax 3800]

that wasnt what we wanted

[VirginiaLonghorn 4878]

Yordan doesn’t have the experience to be a guess hitter. Until he can think along with the pitcher, he should focus on “see the ball, hit the ball.”

[runthebone 8322]

Disappointing

[cabowabo 4645]

Lot of pathetic AB's today.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

So fucking bad

[elfenix 34658]

damnit

[Gut Wagon 8214]

Just a frustrating afternoon so far. Somebody has to step up big. 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Top of the order v. Giles. 

[Stringer 1487]

Come on Ken.  You owe us a few wins.

[tx 3 putt 78470]

We need astros ken Giles today 

[cabowabo 4645]

And Ken Giles gonna shut it down for the cherry on top. 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

puke

[elfenix 34658]

fuck

[Gut Wagon 8214]

Throw away a winnable game and let Giles crush three of our stars to put a bow around it. Someone  ask if it’s OK to complain about this one. 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4878]

10 BB and a HBP ... and lose?  That is puke worthy .. 

[tx 3 putt 78470]

Win the series tomorrow 

[UTexasFight 9789]

10 BB and a HBP ... and lose?  That is puke worthy .. 

20 BBs between Thursday and today.

what the fuck is this shit? if yuli is banged up, springer can’t get the day off.

[UTexasFight 9789]

what the fuck is this shit? if yuli is banged up, springer can’t get the day off.

Apparently he can


Also, what did I miss with Yuli. What happened?

[tx 3 putt 78470]

One day after he was hit by a 94 mph fastball, first baseman Yuli Gurriel was scratched from the Astros starting lineup on Sunday with what the team described as a “left elbow contusion.”

[Wishbone 4924]

Good hit and hustle by Diaz.

[henrygandorf 29221]

couple out of character ab's recently for uncle mike.  is this what a slump looks like for him?

[VirginiaLonghorn 4878]

No Springer, no Yuli, no bueno. 

In fact ... pretty average ... at best.

Add in the always missing Correa and you wonder why Springer gets a day off.

[kevwun 16269]

The Blue Jays might want to make Vlad Jr get a personal trainer and a nutritionist.  He's going to eat himself in to a DH in a couple of years.

It appears they’re more interested in catching an early flight outta town ...

[henrygandorf 29221]
