2019 Houston Astros Thread

So Langston was only mostly dead.  

[runthebone 8,372]

Mm, that was smoked.

[runthebone 8,372]

Shit, Cole, let it go

[Fudge Nuggets 19,453]

Straw on dope today?

[clapclapclap 9,000]

Did Greinke teach Cole that?

[kingkoopa6 8,672]

[elfenix 34,744]

indian summer of george!

[runthebone 8,372]

Come on, Altuve!

[runthebone 8,372]

That's disappointing

[elfenix 34,744]

professional hitter.

[WBT 20,966]

Run up that run differential!

[David Dennison 19,518]

Ugh.

Do not like hearing what his parents are saying.

 

[elfenix 34,744]

The Angels are definitely the favorite in the Cole sweepstakes.

 

[Guadaloopy 11,129]

Not encouraging, but not unexpected.  

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Ugh.

What did they say?

 

[Mo Horn 8,937]

JFC Cole is nasty

[perfectchaos007 6,780]

Too bad Cole and Verlander can’t be co-Cy Young winners 

[clapclapclap 9,000]

Getting teary watching that highlight from Baltimore.  RIP Correa.

They were telling Julia how much he loved watching the Angels growing up and sitting in those seats and how special it was in that stadium.

 

[Gut Wagon 8,219]

Let’s just buy his parents a mansion in Houston. Well worth the expense. 

[WBT 20,966]

Wow, I can't believe he didn't ring him up on that

[TonyTexas 10,738]

That should do it for Cole. Good outing, great season. Now go get a ring!

[Ichabod 185]

Historic

[runthebone 8,372]

We take it for granted, but other teams must look at the Astros and say "holy shit."

[elfenix 34,744]

trying to decapitate aj

[clapclapclap 9,000]

SOB just threw his bat at Marisnick!

[perfectchaos007 6,780]

Hinch didn't seem too phased by that bat flying towards him

[Limp Brisket 549]

Hinch should’ve launched that can of Firm Grip out there.

[Guadaloopy 11,129]

TV crew is speaking truth right now.  It’s against all probability that we will ever see a better Astros regular season than this.  Savor it folks.  

[Guadaloopy 11,129]

Another first for this Astros team:

was too big for anything but uploading to youtube.

may do the homers too.  kinda feeling lazy.

[TonyTexas 10,738]

While the stats show the ALCY should be close, I think JV wins in a runaway with at least 75% of the 1st place votes. Voters need to reward Verlander after two 2nd place and a 5th place finish in the previous 3 years. They’ll figure Cole will have more future opportunities than Justin.

Whoever wins is deserving

JV has the no-hitter kicker as well.  It’s his.  But It’s no shock to see it go either way.  

[perfectchaos007 6,780]

Save situation coming for Osuna

[Mo Horn 8,937]

They better not fuck around where Cole doesn't get the win

AJ’s done messing around.  Back end of the BP going to bring it home.  

[UTexasFight 9,806]

This one?

Yes that’s Amy

Brendan Crawford’s sister

[UTexasFight 9,806]

Too bad Cole and Verlander can’t be co-Cy Young winners 

Except they can.

The weighted voting process makes the possibility so minute as to not even be considered.  

[perfectchaos007 6,780]

Lol that sun really did a number on Goodwin

[UTexasFight 9,806]

The weighted voting process makes the possibility so minute as to not even be considered.  

Sure, in years where there are more than 2 guys that you could argue should be 1st or 2nd

This year there are two guys that are 1 and 1a.... and then a huge gap before #3.
Agreed it’ll be extremely unlikely but it’ll be a joke if anyone other than JV and Cole are 1 or 2 on any of the ballots. And then you just need 15 guys to put JV 1 and 15 to put Cole at 1

Again, sure it’ll be difficult for it to hit like that but if it’s ever going to happen, this is the year.

[Guadaloopy 11,129]

Thank goodness that looked like meat and not bone.  

[Mo Horn 8,937]

That was not a swing

Someone will submit a joke of a ballot with Minor in second place.  200 Ks! Sabermetrics!

[perfectchaos007 6,780]

No Osuna for the save situation?
