Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck 

[runthebone 7968]

Shit, hell of a start.

[clapclapclap 9000]

Astros would have been the 1st team to throw 3 no-hitters in a single season.

[Honeysucklerose 987]

That sucked

[Planet Houston 4930]

Damn damn daaaaaamn!!!

I stayed away from here as it developed...thought for sure he’d get it. 

[Scraps 13561]

Greinke has 1 hit the Mariners before in his career too

[elfenix 34230]

Just now, Sbbruin said:

Wow.  Just turned on MLB network.

 

Just now, Sbbruin said:

Oh and right then, hit

😠

[UTexasFight 9431]

Thanks god for that third run

[tx 3 putt 76903]

So damn close 

[UTexasFight 9431]

Astros would have been the 1st team to throw 3 no-hitters in a single season.

And Mariners first to be no-hit 3 times in a season

[Sbbruin 21840]

And 5-4 Dodgers.  HFA not secured yet

[Planet Houston 4930]

Was gonna neg your no hitter post, that one will do. 

[A-Tex Devil 2446]

Of course the dude that never had an AB against Greinke gets the hit. 

JV with the “Oh fuck”

I want prop bets odds that Astros get a no hitter in post season.  HItters are clenching so much in playoffs that it makes it more likely.  

[clapclapclap 9000]

C'mon, don't be a bitch, PH.

Even with a Dodgers loss and Astros win it still wouldn't have been....

[tx 3 putt 76903]

Lock this down 

[Honeysucklerose 987]

Come on guys. Close it out

[runthebone 7968]

OK, now we have to make sure we actually win.

Pffft

[UTexasFight 9431]

“Yet” being the operative word...


And in a bizarro world where it didn’t actually happen for the Astros, we’re experienced in popping champagne in the visitor’s clubhouse at Dodger Stadium

[Gut Wagon 8065]

Great to see this kind of game out of Greinke, especially prepping for October. Our top three are incredible. 

[Planet Houston 4930]

[cabowabo 4484]

Will Harris is a man. 2.5 up on the Yankees.

[elfenix 34230]

astros win!  104!

[runthebone 7968]

Franchise record!

[tx 3 putt 76903]

Keep racking up W’s !!!!!!

[UTexasFight 9431]

Phew


God bless the Seattle Mariners
18-1

So stupid

[clapclapclap 9000]

Waiting to see if "I like turtles" is part of the post-game interview.

[Pimphand 5735]

MFY magic: 1

LAD magic: 2

I could live with that same result this year.

Fair ‘nough. Retracted. 

But pretty bitchy move to swoop into out thread to rub our noses in losing the no hitter. Whatever, we are gonna fuck up the Dodgers. 

[UTexasFight 9431]

So even if the Yankees sweep the Rangers, the Astros would have to do something they’ve only done 2 other times this year to not get HFA over the Yankees: lose 4 in a row

Ugh, can’t believe we’re gonna have to lose two games on purpose just to give our fans a chance to celebrate at home.

Usually they only do that after scoring 20.

[UTexasFight 9431]

So a few more numbers from the season series against the Mariners
18-1 record
(I posted the lineup for the “one” last night. Almost entirely guys that started at Round Rock this season or have since been DFA’ed).

Doubled them up in runs. 123-62.

1 no hitter
1 one hitter
1 two hitter
1 three hitter

225 Ks by Mariners hitters. 11.8 per game.
Only 5 of the 19 games they had single digit Ks as a team (and in 1 of those, they didn’t get a hit).

[tx 3 putt 76903]

Sweep the series tomorrow !!!!

We are headed to Anaheim brah

[UTexasFight 9431]

It’s a bit incredible to me that we set a franchise record for wins with 4 games still to go and went an entire week (with no off days) in mid-June without a win

[Scraps 13561]

Another thing that pisses me off is that Correa’s unreliability could mean that we have to leave Tucker off the playoff roster for Toro as insurance.

 

Toro and Tucker keep playoff roster spots. Glass Pussy sits at the house playing Fortnite or whatever he’s into these days.

I wouldn’t mind if Correa sits out the first series to heal up

Yep. Had we not screwed up our hitters' heads by scoring 20-plus runs a couple times and immediately going into an offensive coma, we'd be knocking on the door of 110 right now. But I suppose every team that's set a good season record of any kind could look back and see room for improvement. In our case, it's amazing that we've had such production without operating at full health for very long at a stretch.  

[UTexasFight 9431]

Or MLB is full of quad A teams

[kevwun 15773]

We set a franchise record for wins when Altuve, Springer and Correa were all out at the same time for what, like a month?  That's impressive as hell.

Needs to be hammered at all these writers trying to give trout the mvp.

So, a best-of-135 type series?

 Not sure if anybody has that much time to wait on Princess to get healthy.
