2019 Houston Astros Thread

[Tommy Nobis 905]

I hate Suzuki going back to his cal state Fullerton days. Fuck that asshole.

[Fudge Nuggets 18825]

Our defenisive alignments have sucked so far.

[At Ease 44]

Altuve got a moving break and thought the opportunity was there. Took a good throw and tag.

so... help me understand how that steal attempt even happened? what good would it have done?

altuve should have been looking to score on any hit , anyway... like the hit by the guy at bat.

he should have had a "ready to run" sign on, right?

Write it off as dumbassery and leave it at that. Not worth much analysis.

It's better to be on 3rd than 2nd with 1 out

[PenelopeWitherspoon 18303]

200 strikeouts in the postseason...JV passes Smoltz.

Only thing it would've done is set up the sac fly, but with only one shot at it.  Not worth the risk at all.

[thetruth 149]

Not much fanfare for the all time leader in postseason strike outs. Thank Fox crew you fucks.

Do you also get on football coaches for not calling the TD play?

[Grade of D as in David 13253]

Fuck you smoltz. 

[henrygandorf 28610]

i think it was just generally trying to stay aggressive, rattle stras, motion creates emotion, whatever.  he tried, he failed, let's move on.

[LTtxfan 48688]

Nice Blast Bregman... 💥💥

If the shoe fits. 😁

Errbody hating on Altuve now.  

Surly being Surly.

So he could score on a fly ball or grounder to the right side. Strasburg is slow to the plate and Suzuki throws poorly.  It wasn’t as dumb as many of our posters. 

[TexArcher 36903]

Okay, let's get another crooked number.

I want Strasburg to retire from baseball by the 3rd inning.

[FORTY NINE TO ZERO 2617]

What’s the deal with them asking to see the ball?

[tx 3 putt 74768]

Altuve was trying to make something happen and got caught

[Tommy Nobis 905]

We need to start using an opener for JV and skip his first innings. Problem solved.

talk about a low bar

[PenelopeWitherspoon 18303]

I was asking because that confrontation between Bregman and Altuve looked....dramatic. it seemed from the angle fixed showed that Bregman said something Altuve didn't like.

I'll drink to that.  Bumper sticker worthy. 

[WBT 20131]

The first 145 years of baseball that's a hit

[Telegraph_it 3350]

That fat tub makes that catch? 

[Fudge Nuggets 18825]

It’s unreal how every ball we hit is right at someone and everything they hit finds a gap.

[Grade of D as in David 13253]

Meh, hard hit ball. He seems out of the slump.

the look on tuve's face as he jumped the railing looked more like relief.

they look pissed and i like it.

[Fudge Nuggets 18825]

John Smoltz:  If the ball is in the zone and you don’t swing at it, you’re in trouble.

You don’t get fine analysis like that just anywhere.

Yankees fan has a different interpretation, of course:

 

 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

 

Yep. He’s been pretty bad. Only reason people haven’t been more outspoken is because if his walk off. Other than that he’s been pretty garbage.

God damnit, somebody get this guy out for a change.

[runthebone 7874]

He is killing everything.  Maybe walk him some.

[Limp Brisket 529]

That kid is a tough out.

[PenelopeWitherspoon 18303]

God damnit, somebody get this guy out for a change.

He got out his first at bat. But he needs to tamp down on his exuberance.

51 pitches through 3, would like to see a short inning or two for JV.

Sotos a beast

Yeah, he's just about got to be an intentional walk with 2 outs from now on.

[Limp Brisket 529]

Let’s go Reddick, bring the top up with no outs.

[deadshank 24644]

Hey, it's Mr. Pop Up.
