2019 Houston Astros Thread

Altuve with another base running brain cramp.

[Guadaloopy 10970]

What are you doing Altuve?  

[WBT 20568]

Altuve thought he was invisible?

[Wishbone 4760]

That was just dumbassery.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Why? Just why? Fucking dumb.

[Guadaloopy 10970]

He has had a bad couple of nights on the basepaths.  

[Wishbone 4760]

Followed by more.

[tx 3 putt 76952]

That was a fucking train wreck 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4771]

Altuve was a much better player before I picked up MLB Extra Innings and began to watch every game, every inning.

He’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Great inning.

[Mo Horn 8836]

Just call this game and move on to the next series. 

[Gut Wagon 8065]

What a strange team. 

[runthebone 7982]

This team is annoying the shit out of me. 

[Wishbone 4760]

Pretty sure that second strike was the ugliest swing Alvarez has made since joining the team. Weird series.

As great as Altuve is, he’s one of the worst base runners I’ve ever seen.  Guess it won’t change.  His instincts suck. He should just go station to station.  It drives me nuts.  That’s something with his speed he should excel at.  

[Limp Brisket 546]

We are winning this game.

I’m with you.  Just has that feeling.

And to me it feels just the opposite. One of those games where we have tons of chances but never come through. But, I'm happy to be wrong. 

[Guadaloopy 10970]

C’mon blue.

Yeah, there just seems to be a lack of energy/focusness (I’m not Bill in Sinton, btw) or something tonight. Also will be pleased to see it turn around.

[UTexasFight 9432]

I want to believe...but Johnathan Lucroy’s not walking through that door tonight

[Limp Brisket 546]

Take best record and face these guys or let Yanks who suck against them do it and face Twins?  

[Wishbone 4760]

Need to do something in this ab. Starting at the top.

[Guadaloopy 10970]

JV turns it around.  Smith and James have shut down innings.   Now the top of he order is up.  You’re telling me you don’t feel it?   Not even a little?

[Wishbone 4760]

Still groping, but hope alive!

[tx 3 putt 76952]

Tuve !!!!!

[UTexasFight 9432]

Jose looked good on the bases that time

[rvm96 1643]

Let's go Tuve!

Altuve feels it

[elfenix 34239]

Tuve!

[Wishbone 4760]

Altuve! And then he goes and completely redeems himself.

[tx 3 putt 76952]

That was a bomb 

[WBT 20568]

I was thinking a bloop and a blast but for 2019 a blast and another blast could work

[Gut Wagon 8065]

It feels looks we’re hitting about .180 on 3-ball counts any more. Frustrating. 

[Mo Horn 8836]

Umpire fucking sucks

[Wishbone 4760]

Plate ump is a grab bag on his strike zone tonight.

[kevwun 15787]

He has a 90's Braves strikezone.  6" off the plate calls makes Maddux drool.

[Stringer 1439]

Not being able to beat the fucking A's may be a problem in the playoffs.

[Johnny Sack 8397]

This ump sucks.  Surprised he didn’t ring Breg up on another pitch 6 inches outside.

I’ve been in and out on this game.  Has he given us those Eric Gregg calls?

[Wishbone 4760]

Lulz. Alvarez forces more pitching changes than any other hitter. Post season teams better keep their lefties loose and rested.

[Wishbone 4760]

At least he beat the situation.

[Guadaloopy 10970]

Been awhile since Diaz jumped on one.  

[Johnny Sack 8397]

Why did we just pinch run for our best hitter?

[WBT 20568]

I'm surprised he didn't bring in Hendricks here

[WBT 20568]

Just now, Johnny Sack said:

Because he's the winning run

[Guadaloopy 10970]

Just now, Johnny Sack said:

 Because the Astros are going to win it before his spot comes up again.  

[Johnny Sack 8397]

With Diaz batting and two outs in the 8th?

[Johnny Sack 8397]

Come on Tucker!
