[tx 3 putt 78676]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck 

[runthebone 8376]

Shit, hell of a start.

[clapclapclap 9000]

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

[Honeysucklerose 1006]

That sucked

[Planet Houston 4950]

Damn damn daaaaaamn!!!

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

[Scraps 13799]

Greinke has 1 hit the Mariners before in his career too

[elfenix 34749]

Just now, Sbbruin said:

Wow.  Just turned on MLB network.

 

Just now, Sbbruin said:

Oh and right then, hit

😠

[UTexasFight 9817]

Thanks god for that third run

[tx 3 putt 78676]

So damn close 

[UTexasFight 9817]

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 22142]

And 5-4 Dodgers.  HFA not secured yet

[Planet Houston 4950]

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

[A-Tex Devil 2499]

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 78676]

Lock this down 

[Honeysucklerose 1006]

Come on guys. Close it out

[runthebone 8376]

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

Pffft

“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 8219]

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

[Planet Houston 4950]

[cabowabo 4689]

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

[elfenix 34749]

astros win!  104!

[runthebone 8376]

Franchise record!

[tx 3 putt 78676]

Keep racking up W’s !!!!!!

[UTexasFight 9817]

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 6369]

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 9817]

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 9817]

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 78676]

Sweep the series tomorrow !!!!

We are headed to Anaheim brah

[UTexasFight 9817]

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 13799]

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 9817]

Or MLB is full of quad A teams

[kevwun 16438]

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.
