2023 Houston Astros Thread

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Eventually our dipshit manager and pitchers are going to realize it’s better to win 5-2 with Diaz catching and hitting than lose 2-1 with Maldy intangibles. Or they won’t.

I dread the daily lineup reveal.

I have dreaded watching Maldonado and whoever has played first base for us the last two years swing the bat.

[perfectchaos007 6573]

Catching or not, Diaz needs to be in the batting lineup every game. DH or otherwise. Fucking Dusty

No Meyers and no Diaz. Good job Dusty you low IQ cretin.  

Of course, but the gif was 100% about Altuve.

Has to be the worst francise to he a fan of. What's worse? Pirates? Rockies?

Rangers also are up there. Or down there, as it were. We'll see if that changes materially beyond September.

There are only TWO active players from the 2004 MLB draft class that are CURRENTLY on an MLB Roster. 

Justin Verlander (Rd 1, Pick 2) 

& 

Martín Maldonado (Rd 27, Pick 803) 

They throw to each other for the Astros tonight.

Lefty on the mound.

it’s gotten to the point where our best chances in the playoffs may be to match up with whoever has the least amount of LHP starting pitching since it’s clear Diaz will never get a chance to overcome small sample size bias

[Mo Horn 8779]

Chas mania 

Crushed

[tx 3 putt 75959]

Dusty pre game said the ball was flying out today during BP

alvarez hit several into the upper deck 

[Gourmand 7774]

BOMBS AWAY 

[tx 3 putt 75959]

Windmill going to Windmill

[Mo Horn 8779]

Dooby was high out there 

[Gut Wagon 8051]

You always want to make the third out at third. If only for mathematical symmetry.

[henrygandorf 29169]

i know we're up 5-0, but dubon has to have better situational awareness with 2 outs.  getting to 3rd is not important.  you gotta clear maldonado.

it's the little things.

[WBT 20376]

Something something last out at 3rd.  And we would have cleared the pitcher's spot.

Oh well, good inning.

[tx 3 putt 75959]

Verlander doesn’t need to fuck around 

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

I was telling someone earlier today when talking about prospective lineups that if Tucker and Abreu are going to bat back to back having Chas be next would be the move. He hits lefties so well that if the other team wants to bring in a lefty against them that he would at least be the third batter. See exhibit 1.

[Mo Horn 8779]

Really JV?

[tx 3 putt 75959]

[Mo Horn 8779]

Great play Pena

[Scraps 13518]

Replacement Julia plunked

[rvm96 1643]

Julia's series replacement is something

[Scraps 13518]

.

[Scraps 13518]

Nice throw doofus

[Scraps 13518]

Singleton lookin like Barry Bonds up there

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Here comes a double play. We all know it

[Mo Horn 8779]

There you go Pena. Nice at bat. Just went with the pitch and didn't try to do too much

[UTHornFan014 710]

Singleton may not have many hits for us so far, but he has shown a pretty good eye with all the walks.

[Scraps 13518]

Here comes a double play. We all know it

Nope, swing and miss on ball 4

[Scraps 13518]

Fucking just stand there dumbass

[hornmpa96 2597]

Why does he even swing?

[Smax 3799]

What a waste

[David Dennison 18487]

That was a bad inning.

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Well. No DP for pena but Maldy swings at ball 4. Huge waste to only get a run there.

[UTHornFan014 710]

Terrible ABs by Maldy (big surprise) and Altuve. No clue why Altuve is swinging 3-0 when Luzardo has been all over the place
