 It's all good. I had several folks call me out for my post, which is fine. I get it wasn't a popular opinion.

He’s either going back down or to bench when Diaz gets activated on Tuesday. Regardless, I’m pretty sure he’ll be a September callup.

Thank you Framber for not pitching to recent history, solid effort. 

Yes, throw the ball back when we have a 9 run lead.

Guess he figured camera time > ball value.

No doubt. He handled 3rd base well and he's proven he can hit at every other level. Being loaded with youngsters who are stuck behind major leaguers sucks for them, but a good problem to have for the front office.

Nice series sweep.

I will enjoy this 'til the cows come home.

Watching this game in a pub inSpring, power went out, by the time everything back up and running, missed 5 runs. Perrrrrfect.

Better than being at the game and going for an ice cream and bathroom break with a 4 and 6 yo

Never understood all the MLB.tv app bitching. Mine shit the bed in the 4th for the first time ever and missed the fun stuff.

Thank you for grounding my perspective, sir!

Throwing balls back is Cubs bullshit that has infiltrated all of baseball because of WGN and dipshits that don't know any better

We are 23-2 at home versus the AL West. Absurd.

13 of our last 30 games are @ MM against the AL West. Bodes well to break last year’s all time season win total of 103.

Great running in to #teamshep and a crew that appreciates the awesomeness of the trucker hat mafia

I remember hg or someone posting that my 4 yo would pick up chicks when I posted a pic of the hat and his rainbow jersey the other day ...we did the buddies parade before the game, and I totally saw a girl in the stands about twice his age looking at him, smiling and whispering something to her mom.

Guess who and where we play 43% of our remaining games?


I keep waiting for regression on that stat but it keeps not happening.

A’s take 3 of 4 from Astros, sweep Yankees then lose of 2 of 3 to Giants. That’s baseball...

This aged well

I’d just like to say thanks. Without that initial post, Framber and the Astros never would have had a chance.

He really has great movement .. fastball darts and breaking ball is tight. It’s gonna be fun once he achieves consistent command. I see lots of positives with him.

It's adorable how ESPN keeps talking about the Yankees/Dodgers game as a possible World Series preview.

Be real funny if neither one of them makes it.

Better have the talk with him, those caps are panty droppers 

did my big league FF draft today (our 13th year going) sporting my brand new Astros trucker hat:

although it doesn't fit my humongously giant dome perfectly, it's still fresh to death. shouts out to HG for the hook up!

that's one of funniest things i've read on here in a long time. 

I am not. Lifelong Cubs fan. But the Astros are easily my favorite AL team, and HG is my boy, and the hats are dope, so, you do the math, i'm doing the alfredo.

It is their wet dream of a series 😂

Hasn't happened since 1981 when they were but a fledgling network without much fanfare. They were so close in 2017 till the Astros went and fucked it all up.

30 to go

Tied with NY and one back of LA. It’s going to be close but I want the home field advantage.

I think home field is especially important this season. Could be the difference between 3 games with Yordan in the lineup or 4 in the WS.

Edited by Seasick Sailor

If they don't put Yordan in the lineup in the NL games of the WS then Hinch needs to be fired immediately.

If we don't have HFA against the Dodgers then make sure both Greinke's starts are in LA

The problem is that it's very hard to play Yordan and Uncle Mike at the same time if there's no DH because neither of them can play right field.

If you have to do it, dodger stadium is an ideal place since the dimensions are the same all around.

Brantley isn’t as athletic as he once was but I trust him enough to make the plays he should in RF if needed.

He could probably do it, but I don't think it would be very pretty.  He runs like he has concrete cleats and that's a lot more green for him to cover.

Well, Yordan cannot be out of the lineup.  And we definitely can't trust him at 1B with all those chances for an error, so I don't see any option but RF.  And the way we shift against lefty hitters, he'll have plenty of help from Altuve and Springer.  

Even if we pass the Dodgers for home field, if we go to LA for games 3, 4, and 5 and Yordan is relegated to a pinch hitting role, people should be fired.

It seems inevitable that the Astros win 100+ games this year. .500 ball in last 30 gets us there. Current pace is  104.3 which would be the club record. Do you take over or under 104? I'm taking the over as we have an easy ROS schedule and will be in a dogfight for home field advantages, minimizimg rampant rest days. 

 

On a side note, i doubt there has ever been a team with three 100+ win seasons and three 100+ loss seasons with a 9 year time frame. Amazing to think about.

Anyone have the ESPN+ article on how the Astros keep getting better?  Thanks

19-11 lands right on 104.  Sounds about right.

Also amazing to me:

Cubs’ last three 100-win seasons were in 2016, 1935, and 1910.

Red Sox in  2018, 1946, and 1915.

The fact that we have a shot at three in a row is crazy.

(Having a hard time finding the Rangers’ last three, or even last one, but will keep looking...)
