2019 Houston Astros Thread

[Mo Horn 8945]

 He's totally lost. I can't remember the last ball he hit hard

[UTEX_ME 4286]

Can’t see the ball for shit, hopefully we can hit the bullpen

[Tommy Nobis 905]

You have to think about benching Yordan at some point. He’s a fucking automatic out.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Haven't seen Paxton look this good against us since his Mariners days. 

[Honeysucklerose 1008]

If we don’t get it going in the 5th, it’s probably game 6 time

We're helping by chasing pitches out of the zone. 

[runthebone 8380]

Fuck this bullshit.  Just finished up work and checked.

Ostrich free to ostrich

[TexArcher 39080]

God damn, Yuli, nice play!

[Wishbone 4958]

Great play there.

[runthebone 8380]

I would have started Diaz against a lefty.

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19363]

Fucking.kidding.me.

[kevwun 16458]

Gotta get some runs.  Verlander is locked in now.

not a bad plan.  i've actually been surprised at his non-usage this postseason.

you could've dh'd diaz or mike and still had jake in for his defense.

with yordan struggling, it creates a real issue next to chirinos who at least is needed defensively.

[Mo Horn 8945]

JV definitely settled in now. Let him go as far as he can go and save the pen. 

[TexArcher 39080]

Just scratch out a run or two and put some pressure back on them.  They're the ones facing elimination with half their guys getting booed at home.  Turn up the heat.

[henrygandorf 29230]

the team that scores next is going to win this game.

needs to be here, let's get paxton out of this fucking game.

yep.  need 6-7 tonight regardless of performance.  need everyone ready to go tomorrow.

[runthebone 8380]

Feels like this has to be the inning.

[Wishbone 4958]

It might help if George wasn’t looking at left field instead of the ball when he makes his cuts.

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19363]

Was that last pitch on Springer low?

Not with at bats like that

[runthebone 8380]

Unfortunately, Paxton is the greatest pitcher since Tyler Glasnow

No, it was a good call

no.  he thought it would be in, but it was a strike.

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19363]

Thanks. I couldn't get a read on it here.

certainly looks that way right now.

[TexArcher 39080]

Paxton's all over the place now, probably tiring around the 90 pitch mark.  Come on, Mike, get to him.

[Wishbone 4958]

Fuck Paxton. We’ve slaughtered better pitchers all year. Just need to pull our heads out of our asses.

[kevwun 16458]

This ump has a wide strikezone.

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Now we're getting squeezed

[Mo Horn 8945]

Well, it didn't catch the outside of the plate Joe. 

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19363]

This ump has a wide strikezone.

Noticed that.

[henrygandorf 29230]

god that 3rd pitch fucked us.

[UTEX_ME 4286]

Not our night 

[cabowabo 4692]

Hopefully that's it for Cy Young.

[TexArcher 39080]

This game sucks.

[Honeysucklerose 1008]

Good night friends. Let’s get game 6

[Limp Brisket 549]

We need to see a pitcher not named Paxton.

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19363]

Good night friends. Let’s get game 6

Holy shit, really?

[Limp Brisket 549]

Holyshit at the conceding assholes in this thread, this shit isn’t over by a long shot.

 Nah, just like Verlander, you let him go as long as he can go and save the pen. It's either his last game of the year, or he'll have plenty of rest of he does pitch again this year. 

[Pimphand 6383]

It will never ceases to amaze me how many baseball people will get baited into a position of strategic weakness in order to best optimize the odds of the battle.

Learn to win the war not the battle. I can't wait until Hinch panics and runs Cole out on short rest

Yeah. Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance.

[TexArcher 39080]

LOL at the sign-stealing story.  Shut the fuck up.  If your signs can be stolen, you suck at signs.

[Wishbone 4958]

Signgate?

 The only people panicking are people who should just go the fuck away

[runthebone 8380]

Was Verlander tipping in the first inning then stopped tipping?  Cunts?
