MLB Chatter Thread

So far, no one can win at home. Hopefully this trend continues.

Welp. This series is probably over. I don't see Texas coming back after being moments from going up 3-2 and taking all the momentum back. Only to see Altuve rip their hearts out. They'll come out flat next game and score 1-2 runs. Better hope they give up less.

Framber Valdez had been money for the Astros in the postseason but not so much in these playoffs.

To me, this game is going to come down to chipping him up early. If the Rangers can get to him in the first 3 innings, they can win game 6.

But if he gets to the 4th with no runs allowed? Astros are gonna win that game comfortably.

We will win game 6. Write it in 3 inch headlines. :unsure.

We won't beat Javier, though. He throws the kind of stuff our hitters can't hit and can't lay off of.
 
oh and yes, we will have to get all of our runs off the starter because we arent touching that bullpen. Pisses me off when we cant even hit the redneck.

Stanek


I don't know if he pitched yesterday but everytime he pitches he shuts us down.

He pitched on Thursday.

First time since he got hurt vs the Rangers about a month ago.

I get it.

It's always annoying to see one team always winning and always around.

As a Houston resident, I'm enjoying it. :art

I'm not a huge fan as I've always been partial to the Red Sox myself, but I do appreciate what they've done for the city and the impact they've had on the community.

It's been a pretty awesome experience.

And Altuve is the fucking man. He seems to be public enemy #1 everywhere else, but you have to at least respect the talent.

He's got to be Houston sports GOAT and I don't think it's even close.

Fuck Altuve. :lol

It doesn't help that they beat the Phillies last year so I'm pretty butthurt.
 
And then Baker delayed to a ridiculous degree leaving when he'd been thrown out. The whole thing was almost a 30 minute delay. They knew what they were doing icing Leclerc, knowing we had nobody behind him.

Yes, that pissed me off. I was yelling at the TV for him to GTFO of the dugout.
 
Texas Ace said:
Hard to imagine that he would do that there so MLB better be 100% certain that he did, but then again, how exactly could they be?

I know it doesnt make sense but I have to think it was. If it was any other team and any other player (that didnt casually stroll to first after hitting a HR) then I would lean towards it not being intentional.

I never listened to his interviews before this series but he is a cocky POS . I used to worry when he was flipping that toothpick.

Well, what's done is done so the Astros better hope they don't end up missing arguably the best setup man in baseball.

To not have him for the last 2 games of this series is a big loss, especially if these are close games like I expect them to be.
