2019 Houston Astros Thread

[Wishbone 4958]

A little Piña Power here would be welcome

[UTexasFight 9817]

The radio call of springer’s homer was outstanding
Sparks: springer told me he loves hitting here. The batters eye. The solid hunter green out in centerfield.
Ford: and here’s the 2-0
[cannon shot]
Ford: [caps loko] AND GEORGE DRILLS IT. YOU CAN KISS THAT ONE GOODBYE. SPRINGER WITUBA 3 RUN HOMER!!!

[Wishbone 4958]

Ok. Time to finish and give Cole the W.

[Wishbone 4958]

alright alright alright!

[elfenix 34749]

astros win!

[Gut Wagon 8219]

Never in doubt. 

[Guadaloopy 11129]

One step closer.   Hope that was George breaking the seal on a dominant weekend. 

[DaysOff 8207]

Fuck yes blue birds.

[Guadaloopy 11129]

And I like your style Toronto. 

[henrygandorf 29225]

yeah, that was a nice bonus.  1 game back and own the tiebreaker.

[WBT 20972]

A bunch of nancies on here last night told me the homefield race was over

[TexArcher 39069]

Nice win and well done to Toronto.

 

[runthebone 8376]

Winning is better than losing

[Telegraph_it 3379]

I think we are due for another 20 run game from the good guys. Let’s go with Miley’s next appearance though. 

[UTexasFight 9817]

6 of our final 13 games are in line to be started by pitchers that are going to finish 1 and 2 in the final AL Cy Young race.

I like our chances to claw back that 1 game we’re behind the Yankees.

Round Rock lost tonight
Season over
Correa 1 for 2 with 2 walks

Whew. Ended before he could pull up lame again. So I'm calling that loss a win.

As for the hope of scoring 20 again...well, based on recent history, seems that only leads to trouble. Let's settle for 10 every night.

Someone better validate that.
Correa didn’t finish the game

Assuming that was by design... play ~8 innings in the field, get 4 plate appearances, let someone else finish...

[Iceman 2978]

By his agent's design or the skipper's?

His girlfriend

[APMP 688]

His girlfriend

Everybody knows the fiancee is the real agent, skipper, and all around boss for our boy

[runthebone 8376]

I just hope he plays the next 6 weeks and ends up as World Series MVP.  Maybe he needs to be handled like a young pitcher whose arm could explode at any moment

First time Hunch seized defeat from the Jaws of victory in the playoffs by pulling LMJ too soon. Also see 2017 ALCS at MFY

[Guadaloopy 11129]

Knock it off with the 2015 ALDS video.  Time for a palate cleanser:

 

 

[UTexasFight 9817]

Yeah super sick of the 2015 reminders...the Royals scouting director is seated directly in front of me on a flight to KC wearing his huge ass 2015 WS ring.

[henrygandorf 29225]

if we somehow won in 2015, we wouldn't be where we are today.  we wouldn't have verlander.  or cole.  or yordan most likely.  butterfly effect and shit.

i'm happy where we are right now, and the royals can enjoy the next several years of mediocrity.

Winning too much isn’t good for the players
