2022 Houston Astros Thread

for what it's worth, it's rare to see anyone turn a 3-6-3 or 3-6-1 like yuli does, especially for a righty. 

he's ridiculous at those and digging out ground balls.  i get why he plays.

[WBT 20132]

Money Maton!

[henrygandorf 28618]

it's nice to see our 17th best pitcher do well.

for what it’s worth, I get why his fellow Cuban plays as well.

I don’t know if this is hyperbole or not, but I sitting here thinking about it and I’d take the other 13 guys over him, plus Martinez and Bielak. So, I have him at 16 at best. I can’t think of anyone else I’d have over him if I’m being honest.  So, about right. 

[WBT 20132]

I guess 13 total bases is OK.

[YChang 3365]

A single? What a bum.

it was exaggeration, but when i typed it, i knew it would be pretty close.  he was great in the postseason so maybe he turns it on again, who knows.

No fucking way should he be on the post season roster. 

[henrygandorf 28618]

i agree but i'm not in charge of those decisions.

Smith either. Has to be Brown.

The 4 for 4 night for Yordan helped bring his season BA to over .300

[elfenix 34000]

Astros win!

[Storm the Field 5239]

95-50. Magic number 5, could be down to 4 depending on M's/Halos game. 

 

[Wulaw Horn 18917]

This team is ok. My prediction of 98 and winning the division easily with 101 as a stretch goal to end the year over 500 seriously undersold them. 
6 games over. We’d never been better than 4 before this year.

10th best or so is in AAA

I saw 3 of the bombs Alvarez hit in Oakland earlier this year, and I can't remember anyone hitting such majestic fucking blasts repeatedly against one team.

Wonder how Carlos is feeling.

 

going to be a weird october for him.

[tx 3 putt 74770]

be proud !

 

It took the Astros 61 years to get 5 games over .500 all-time. This seems like a lot, but take this in consideration, the Astros are the only team in the expansion era with a total record over .500. 13 other teams born 1961 and on all have records below .500

Thanks for that stat. I was just thinking that finally getting over .500 as a modern expansion team ain’t as bad as it seems.

I love that the team leaders spoke and then the team toasted qualifying for the post season. Damn great locker room

We need to wear 'Los Astros' all through the playoffs

[UTPhil2006 3754]

I’m probably in the minority but I’m team Rome. At least as far as injuries.

Does Dusty rest Yordon today just to fuck with us?

[kevwun 15192]

I would rest him a lot heading in to the playoffs so that we have Hammerin' Yordan instead of Slappy Alvarez.

It’s just tired and played out.

Every tweet is him trying to find new, clever ways to jab and it’s just played out

We were a couple of Fonzies the whole time

I’m imaging major league psychiatrist scene for that a’s pitcher

“Why’d you throw him a first pitch fastball in his 3rd at bat?“

Martinez: “because he hit the change up 434’”

“Better than 464’!”

He’s alright.  I think he’ll make the playoff roster.

He’ll also probably make the playoff roster.

Next person that says postseason roster is getting pistol whipped. 
 

hey @Mez2 what’s that bar you like with all the shit on the walls 

[TonyTexas 10378]

In the last 7 games, Yordan is slashing .542/.645/1.333. I’d say he’s back.
