Good ol' fashioned donnybrook tonight?  Place your bets on what inning.  I'm thinking someone throws dukes about the 6th.

Ballpark chow tonight in haus boys, Nachos and Hotdogs.

Let's go 'Stros!

Yordan is due for a homer. Need a few guys to get it going early and get the house rocking after last night. 4 Hours to go...

I almost feel like we need to have at least two runs on the board before Tucker's spot comes up to start the blackhole of offensive suck for 1.1 innings.

6 of the 9 hitting .200 or below. Yikes

4 of 9 with an OPS below .600.  Double yikes.

Glad MLB brought in an arbitrator with more than the 3 combined brain cells shared between the 6 fuck head umps who all agreed Abreu was throwing at him intentionally...

And we're one win away from the World Series.

Almost as crazy as we were a game away from not even making the playoffs.

Big if true

Big for the 2024 Yankees.

I’m actually curious how that hearing looks? Who makes the decision? Is it a lawyer representing abreu? How do you determine intent to hit a player? Based off the time of game and what was at stake there’s literally no way you can say he did it on purpose. But I would love to know what those hearings look like if anyone knows.

You need to shatter the one between SS & 2B

 

Shouldn’t even be suspended but good on the MLB for doing what makes sense. Fuck Adolis Garcia for life.

per sparky - tonight's umpire leans towards the pitcher, he'll have big zone

So adjust accordingly figure out what his strike zone is and pitch the balls he would call strikes and swing at the balls he would call strikes. It really isn't that tough these people are major leaugers right?

Rangers put the final nail in the Astro Coffin tonight >:(

per sparky, the clubhouse is loose and ready. he loves chas behind uncle mike and tucker

Meh the umps have been only mildly in favor of the Rump Rangers it ain't like we had Joe West back there.

Tucker has to stop playing like he's swimming in oatmeal. And Pena needs to consciously go oppo whenever possible.

Pena is fucked till 2024.... Combo of black hole sun hitting behind him and the sophomore slump

Dan Bellino.

he was the hpu that tossed Scherzer for the sticky stuff earlier this year. (And the ump involved in that weird MadBum sticky stuff check).

 

but hopefully a big zone will help Javier and his riding fastball more than Scherzer

I like how everyone on the Fox broadcast last night said they thought it was not on purpose.  Yet Abreu is being suspended for 2 games anyway.

Eh, who cares?  Chad can hit the game winning  HR in the World Series and Dusty won’t play him until game 3 anyway.

Dusty has never won a game 7? Hahaha we’re fucked.

Pre Astros:

1997 0-3 NLDS vs Marlins
2000 1-3 NLDS vs Mets
2002 3-2 NLDS vs Braves*
2002 4-1 NLCS vs Cardinals
2002 3-4 WS vs Angels*
2003 3-2 NDLS vs Braves*
2003 3-4 NLCS vs Marlins*
2010 0-3 NLDS vs Phillies
2012 2-3 NLDS vs Giants* (Bochy)
2013 0-1 NLWC vs Pirates*
2016 2-3 NLDS vs Dodgers*
2017 2-3 NLDS vs Cubs*

*denotes winner take all game played

He is 0-3 in Game 7s (add 2020 ALCS) and he is 2-8 in winner take all games with his lone 2 wins coming 20 years ago vs Atlanta.

There is a reason he has a postseason history of being a scrub prior to inheriting Luhnow's Astros

He’s due

and Bochy has never lost one. So he’s due.

 

I’m used to it by now after 7 years of it but the bitchassedness on this thread after every postseason loss continues to annoy/amaze me.


Scherzer is going to be on the ropes relatively early.

the game is going to hinge on whether we get a key multi-run hit with runners that are his responsibility (probably around the time Abreu or Brantley are up a 2nd time) or whether we let them get off the hook. 

Show of hands: After watching this season, how many of y'all thought we'd be in this position?

I didn't.

But, now that we are here I expect perfection!

Edited by UTHornFan014

Yeah, the Dusty stat is concerning, but those were other teams in other decades.

What we have going for us tonight is that Scherzer may not be 100% still, and we just rocked his ass a few nights ago.  If we can jump on him early and get to Dunning, we can put up 5+ runs tonight.  I also don't believe that Yordan is capable of playing in a game this big without putting his fingerprints on it.  And, Arlington are a bunch of choking bitchtits.  So, we're gonna win.  It's science.

I mean we’re 1-4 at home in the postseason and dusty has never won a game 7. I don’t think it’s bitchassedness to not be optimistic about this game. And me being positive doesn’t matter. How about go win a fucking home game and prove us all wrong. Baseball is the hardest sport to predict so your assumptions of what might could happen could also go as sherzer throws a gem and Javier struggles. I don’t think anyone here can predict the outcome tonight.

I wasn’t trying to single your post out in particular with the bitchassedness comment. It’s just funny to me how this thread turns every day after a loss in the postseason. And then we win and we’re never going to lose again

We’re 5-15 at home last 20 games. That’s 1 win out of every 4. Today is game 4. We win. It’s math.

I wouldn't have bet the proverbial plugged nickel on us. We're still pretty much a .500 team over the past three months.

just play our game, cover the field like a blanket, playoff Javier needs to be himself, and be smart at the plate

Kind of like Dubon and his 8th inning AB with the bases juiced?
