2019 Houston Astros Thread

[Mo Horn 8,795]

 Boone is an idiot for pulling Paxton. We've not come close to doing any damage against him. It might work for him, but sometimes mangers over manage. As I said earlier, what does it matter if he throws 130 pitches tonight. Until he shows he can't get outs, I'd leave him in. 

[Honeysucklerose 957]

That was just plain stupid Hinch

[TexArcher 37,455]

There you go, George.

 

[TexArcher 37,455]

Are they chanting "Fuck Altuve"??

[NowThis 931]

were they chanting "F Altuve!" ?

[Vito Andolini 9,086]

Was the chant “Fuck Altuve?”

[Mo Horn 8,795]

 Yup

Please Uncle Mike

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Has to be now

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Freaking guido morons

[elfenix 34,168]

Stay classy, Yankee fan

[kevwun 15,595]

Who the fuck hates Altuve?  Trashy shitheels.

[formermav43 4,599]

Classy

[Vito Andolini 9,086]

We want Ottavino

[Limp Brisket 546]

I like where we are now that Paxton is gone.  It’s a different deal now.

[Pimphand 5,587]

They were saying Luck Altuve 😂

I can't believe there were that many questions lol

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19,074]

Yes, they were saying, "Fuck, Altuve."

I'm guessing we've seen him for the last time, unless they are up by double digits. 

[TexArcher 37,455]

Mike for a gapper then Bregs for a dinger.  Make it so.

[clapclapclap 9,000]

Let's score some runs and prompt a Brexit.

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19,074]

Sanchez is bad at catching.

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19,074]

I think. It would. Be called a Yank-it.

Bronxit

[kevwun 15,595]

He's grounding out if there's a runner on first.  It's damn near automatic.

[perfectchaos007 6,593]

Be a hero Bregs

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19,074]

Damn it.

[Grade of D as in David 13,253]

Come on MVP

[Pimphand 5,587]

Not sure why we couldn't have double stolen there before the Brantley near GIDP.

Do we not need to put on these d-bags?

[perfectchaos007 6,593]

RISP

[TexArcher 37,455]

God fucking DAMMIT

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19,074]

Tons of shots to the warning track, and other things that just dont fall down. Hitting right to people.

[Honeysucklerose 957]

That was killer. The bottom of the lineup has done nothing to give confidence here

[Limp Brisket 546]

Clutch hits, we haven’t had them, yet.

[perfectchaos007 6,593]

If we pitch another scoreless, maybe we force Chapman to pitch the 8th and 9th.

The umpire feeds it.

If i was Blue, i'd tell that motherfucker to just stop begging for calls or I'm walking the fuck out of the next10 batters.

Diaz needs to pinch hit for Alvarez next inning.

Make Britton face three righties.

 I'm guessing it's gonna be Chapman for 2 innings. 

[Iceman 2,628]

not trying to get the toothpaste back in the tube, howevah...

Would it have been fucked up to bullpen tonight and have JV and Cole waiting in Houston, or is this also a move to set up for the WS, should the Astros advance?

[runthebone 7,929]

I would normally be happy with 2 out of 3 in NY, but if we don't come back, losing a JV start feels really shitty

[UTexasFight 9,369]

That was brutal. Needed at least 1
3 runs before 6 outs will be damn tough

You play JV on full rest, which is tonight

[Wishbone 4,731]

Fuck this Paxton cockgobbling. Our lineup has, and to this point, would have laid eggs against anyone with a pulse. The amount of help we gave that guy is ridiculous.

This has been addressed many times before. It's not rocket science. You go with your best pitcher on full rest. 

[cabowabo 4,449]

Had no idea they had bumped back the start time tomorrow.

JV had one bad inning. And out bats have been unable to do jack shit.

Trying to win the battle at the detriment of the war.  Same thing will happen tomorrow when Cole goes on short rest.

a bullpen game would've put a lot of pressure on our starters the next two nights and essentially yielded the game to them.  you pitch jv tonight and try to end the series, then he starts g2 on full rest.  otherwise you have to wait til g3 which would suck.

he's been awesome for the last 6 innings.  but the 345' foul pole shot + paxton has been enough.

the 7-8-9 black hole is back.  we should bat yordan 4th or not at all.

Shortsightedness abounds

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19,074]

Cole isnt going on short rest. It's Urquidy.
