Vaunting must return.
Just got to the stadium. Go Astros!
Excellent!! I hope you leave with tears of JOY!!!
I'm back in Texas! Ready for some overdue vaunting.
I want us to be in the joy division.
We really need the Good Guys to come right out in the first inning and hang a crooked number on the Yanks. Then we need to do the same thing again in the 2nd or 3rd inning. After that we just hope our pitching can make it stick. Ready for the game. Go Stros!
I expect shadows to be a factor for the first 2-3 innings.
Here's hoping that it's the south side of the north-south divide that has the joy today. I want us to be in the joy division.
Keuchel's beard?
Pettitte just threw out the first pitch in a Yankmees jacket. He's dead to me.
This offense shall not be forgotten.
I hate those orange jerseys.
I thought a DH hitting 7th was sad, until I saw where they have Hedy. Sanchez batting 3rd is interesting, given a 4 for 23 post-season average.Need Keuchel to be at his witchy best this afternoon.
I hate those cans. And 4 p.m. start times.
That's HEADLEY!
Shitty strike zone so far
It would be FUCKING WONDERFUL if Correa would sit back and wait for ball JUST ONE GODDAMN TIME in this shithole of a ballpark.
I couldn't go to tonight's game after last night's experience. It was way too scary wearing Astros stuff at Yankee Stadium last night. People were way too drunk. So I'm really happy to be watching the game with you guys tonight.
The sheriff is near
Are they gonna go to the studio every inning?
Buck "strike"Smoltz: "this balls outside"
I just don't understand why Beltran is hitting so high in the order.
T2:Marwin takes a hanger down the middle for strike one...fouls one at his ankles...taps back the moundLeadoff double wasted as they can't hit the ball out of the infield...No score
Marwin has been totally lost at the plate this series.
Because he got a hit yesterday as opposed to most of the team. But yeah, I don't even understand why he has gotten four starts.
But I don't even remember any good at bats from Marwin.
I rather think it is because he can be aware of the situation when at the plate. It has not seemed to matter much in these last 2/3 games but...But, hell, I'm ready to have Centeno and Fisher play.
B2:Castro takes a strike for ball one...doubles to LF
Their 2 out double scores while our lead off double is stranded.
Keuchel just has no fucking chance with this idiot behind the plate.
So, runner on second and he scores.Hmm, of course, Keuchel is going to need runs today. This team seems to be playing so tense they don't look like themselves.
don't forget there were two outs versus none for us.
I'll take it.
T3:Springer takes a fat pitch right down the middle...ball down...ball in...foul...pops to shallow CF and nobody wants it...goes as a single
HH can create a shortcut for 'takes a fat pitch down the middle' for use in every single pbp post.
shitty, shitty, shitty
T3:Altuve flails at a pitch outside in the dirt, trying to yank it to LF...same pitch for ball one...rolls over and chops out 5-31-0 Yankees
How does a team go from lighting up Red Sox pitching the series before to looking like this in the span of five games?
Remember when the Astros were a heady offense that forced pitchers to come to them?Those were good times. This is fucking shit. Absolutely fucking shit.
Is the principal from the breakfast club sitting first row behind home plate on the right?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Either they are tight as hell, or someone needs to light a fire under their ass. This is not the Astros offense that showed up the other 167 games this season.
probably not. http://people.com/celebrity/breakfast-club-actor-dies-of-lung-cancer/
Lead off base runners each of the last two innings and they squandered both. This has to stop NOW.
BBGs please note, we want stranding of our runners to stop, not actually getting leadoff runners.
What did Keuchel hang to Judge? I missed it.
Marwin lobbed that ball back to the infield and they just missed Gardner at the plate.
Our vaunted offense needs a quick meeting in the tunnel that goes something like this:Correa: we gotta pull our heads out of our collective asses and get some runs now. Altuve: ok, let's do it!
Anybody know what radio station is playing the game in Dallas? Or a way I can listen to the Houston feed on my phone? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
MLB At Bat
Correa is one of the guiltiest of all.Bases juiced in Game 3 with a chance to get back in the game and he never even makes contact, and it's gotten worse from there.
I wish. Need the paid subscription which i didn't get this year Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
I thought you could get audio but not not video on the free account?
103.3, maybe? Just scan both AM/FM.I found alds game 3 but that was on a Sunday.
Astros basically have two inning to make some hay, or that's it.
I feel a big inning coming... c’mon Astros!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That could be the Frito pie?
Finally. A hit from Marwin. How about a McCannonball.
Springer is a fucking train wreck right now.
So ready for Robo-Ump.
Umps are part of the problem, but not the biggest part.
What an embarrassing display. Only halfway through this game and they look so defeated.
Bad move pitching to Judge
Keuchel is pretty much spent
Oh good. Harris is warming up.
My kingdom for a fucking hit.
Well this is why you trade for JV. Win Friday and worry about Saturday after.
I'm literally sick to my stomach watching this.
Well, being up 4-0 was certainly the kiss of death for us last night....
Peacock in for the comeback win?
Can he hit?
B6:Peacock in for the Astros
Why does Francis Ford Coppola give the thumbs down?
Godfather 3
I guess that means if they're fortunate enough to get it to a Game 7, McHugh is your starter.
Wouldn't assume that
Remember when the offense was deadly on the road? Those were the days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Start Peacock?
Could be Morton with McHugh and LMJ on three days rest ready to go and then the kitchen sink waiting in the wings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You are getting way ahead of yourself. Like Light Years.
The Astros threw in the towel in the third inning. I didn't think they had that in them, but there it is.
Really proud of the effort tonight.
Hard to believe they'd just mail one in tonight, but there it is.
On the Web ... is a recording of what she describes as her latest track, “What We Want,” a hip-hop-inflected rhythm-and-blues tune that asks, "Can you handle me, boy?" and uses some dated slang, calling someone her "boo."
The Fox postgame panel will be insufferable
T8:Reddick...strike...takes strike two...whiffs5-0 Yankees
Why the fuck was Reddick shaking his head on the called strike? That was clearly a strike, right?
This may be the most disappointing loss I've ever witnessed in my Astros fandom.
Last night was brutal but Keuchel’s history against NY and Tanaka’s history made me think we would answer. So wrong. Pitiful effort. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
They don’t look like they have any belief in themselves at the moment.
This is gripping, will we get a consolation run?
What a dickless effort by the Astros.
Have to believe it's going 7.
Well shit, that was fuckin appalling, can only hope Verlander turns it all around for us tomorrow.
Is Keuchel SURE Verlander won't regret his decision???
Did the fucking smoke machine not make the trip to New York?
He's got to be wondering what the fuck he got himself into at this point.
I'm pretty sure he knows he got himself into the fucking American League Championship Series, with a chance to pitch his team to the fucking World Series. Something that was not possible in his previous situation.
Well, no matter how disappointed I am and how emotional my rants have been tonight, on Friday I will be rooting for Verlander, Hinch, the offense, the defense, and the bullpen to get the big win and force game 7.
He's got to be wondering what the fuck he got himself into at this point.Unless something changes in Game 6/7, this has to be one of the worst offensive performances in postseason history. Adjusted for context it might be the very worst, as the only comparable events I can think of happened in the dead ball era or 1960's (Dodgers in 1966 World Series, etc.).
You know, our guys got it handed to them the last three days. I've been as down as anybody about that because I so badly want them to win. Not for me, a long-denied Houston baseball fan, but for themselves. They clearly were outclassed the last three days offensively by Yankee pitching. But I'm kind of appalled by some comments on this board that indicate they don't care or aren't showing up to play. If I ever believe that I will be done with them until/unless I am convinced something has changed but I'm not buying into that shit. Sometimes you just get beat because the other guy is better on that particular day.
