  • This postseason has become more sentimental for me and my wife's family.  My father in law is the biggest Astros fan I know.  He watches every game without fail, even DVRing them if he can't watch liv

Maybe we did go to the hotel early, our offense looks like they got a very good night's sleep.

It always cracks me up when one guy makes 2 outs in the same inning. Peña at 3-1 trying to avoid that. 

That was some really funny shit from Blummer. "Full on riot at the bat rack for the Astros right now."

Unfortunate for Pena because the umpire wants this game to end

Blummer is awesome.

I like this one better

Just got out of a meeting...

For sure. 
Its hard to be too mad about any inning where one guy makes 2 outs bc by definition you have to have scored a minimum of 4 runs, but most of the time probably more. I always imagine that guy gets shit talked when that happens. 
the ultimate, of course, is Fernando Tatis Sr. Legendary.

Yeah. I feel like the situation you are describing was the reason “kangaroo court” was invented.

 

And still maybe my favorite part about Tatis Sr is that both were off the same guy 

 

Just realize Congerbot is Twins 1st base coach. Knew he was hired somewhere but didn't remember where

That is absolutely incredible that they left him in to wear it such that one guy could hit two GS off him. The world was a different place back then.

Damn Houston Hero

Time for Dusty to empty the bench. Give the regs a breather before game 2

Maton does not currently instill confidence. Unless it's by opposing batters.

You don’t want to overtax Goodrum and Diaz who are absolutely playing game 2 if I know Dusty.

He was pretty shitty last year (regular season). His major league track record has been pretty shitty. He’s been pretty shitty this year. In his defense his peripherals have always been better than his actual numbers suggested they should be. 
he was awesome in the playoffs last year. His stuff was great. But that guy hasn’t been the norm throughout his career.

good 4 innings from guys we don't really count on.

Yep. Stanek get the last 2?  Stanek and the AAA lefty?

Can't say any of that is wrong. I keep thinking he'll turn the corner for good one day, but it's looking unlikely.

Not sure who you are referring to as AAA lefty....don't think you mean Taylor, and we have no other L RPs on the active roster.  

Martinez gets added for 2nd game only and is R anyway

yeah…in the sense that today Brett Phillips /position player would be giving up the second GS.

Idk why but the other day I was thinking about who I’d want to see if the Astros did a reunion/old timers day/game.

Conger, for some reason, was the first name that came to mind.

I thought mushawhatever was still up. Missed him getting sent down.

Certainly doesn’t seem like the kind of guy a 3 WAR CF with 4 years of club control is worthy of, but maybe the catcher they got in the minors ends up being really good. 
If we’d have won the WS last year I’d have exempted that trade from ever being something to wonder about in the same way I do the Teoscar deal, as he was pretty damn integral to the post season run last year.

Yeah he got das boot when Pressly came back i think

I know some of y’all love Blum but he’s never done it for me. Give me back Deshaies any day 

I loved Deshaies too. I’d take him over Blum but love Blum too.

Not in the 3rd inning of a game

Maldonado against position players pitching. I’m way more excited than I should be

Yeah Deshaies rules.  

Blum has grown on me because I think he has backed off all the dumbass dad jokes, but Kalas can kick rocks.  He can't keep shit straight.  2 nights ago he was calling Chas "Tucker" when he was up at bat as Tucker was on base.  Alzheimer's is a helluva thing 

Kinda wish we didn't waste Neris here, I would have kept Stanek in.

(To be fair, none of the teams I've managed have ever made it to the World Series.)

What was Blum saying about getting checked out? Sounded awkward lol



Yeah Deshaies rules.

Wait, he has Alzheimer's? I just assumed he's a drunk.

High possibility that could be it as well 

Back where we belong. Took two weeks to go from 4th to 1st.

he really is. I didn't think Deshaies could be topped in the booth as a color guy but Blummer is very good at it as well. 

Astros fans have been blessed with some exceptional talent in the booth over the last five decades. ( those two unremarkable radio doofuses from the bad years notwithstanding)

Lulz at Dusty knowing he has to get goodrum in the game but not sure what position… thank god for white out!

Pretty sure Goodrum's best position is left...out.
