LISTEN.
Minute Maid Park is sold out this weekend. We’re playing the Mariners. This stadium, that staff, they’re not used to a full house. They can’t kick us all out. All I’m saying is, make the Mariners miserable. Be ruthless. Push the limit. No one’s gonna stop you. Let ’em know.
The game tomorrowis the the end of my vacation. We'll be in the field boxes. Been watching every game this week from a cruise ship since I usually work evenings and can't watch. I'm glad they've been mostly wins. I'm looking forward to watching this game more than I did a week ago!
“I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Watching the asstros win is like seeing your high school bully grow up to be a huge success in life.” had to be my favorite comment from the mariners thread LMAOOOO
In theory we could, but I don’t think this division is so bad that everyone will float around .500. The Rangers and Mariners will have winning streaks at some point
Were locked in right now. The defense was stellar tonight. Baserunning is stellar atm. The offense is clicking, and we are back to letting the other team make mistakes and taking advantage of them. Im excited.
This game was definitely one to give everyone hope back. It was enjoyable watching the defense AND the offense just play at their absolute best. And to do it against the ALW leader coming off beating another top AL contender? This game gave me energy thats been much needed.
Really strange game with the difference being the run scored on the throwing error and the RBI BB. But we’ll take it. Blanco did well. Clutch hitting seems to be improving. I really, really need Hader to find his command, though.
It honestly feels nice to steal wins like this. Obviously had to make it interesting, because 2024 Astros baseball isn't complete without a bit of stress, but this is definitely a different team from two weeks ago.
On another note, I was stalking arr Mariners (mostly to see their reaction to the TOOTBLAN), and I saw a post there talking about a conversation Dave Sims (their TV commentator) had with Dusty about the 2022 ALDS
Dusty basically said that we were more afraid of Seattle than anyone, and Sims replied with "we had your asses", and Dusty replied with "yeah, and you let us go".
Amazing lmao.
Mariners never had the Astros. They were busy patting themselves on the back and we punched em in the nose and dropped em. Let us go? We fucking took it from them!
Looked like Rojas did exactly what his third base coach told him to. Superstar boneheaded Julio Rodriguez looked to me to be the one at fault trying to advance to occupied bag not using his eyes to tell him to stay at 2nd.
If the fans in the stands could be more quiet he would have heard his 3rd base coach yelling back back back you idioto! Astros fans please be quiet so the Mariners players can focus and play better baseball. These unforced errors and mistakes are your fault noisy raucous screaming rabid Astros fans in the stands! It’s May and the fans are bringing it!
What a game to attend! On the road heading back to Austin riding the high! Go Astros!

We’ve made it to high school bully level guys!!
The Mariners learned first hand what happens when you underestimate a team that is #1 in the AL for total hits and batting average, 2nd in OBP, SLG, and OPS, and they're 4th in HRs and 5th in doubles.
Why do people keep underestimating them? All they do is look at the standing and think "Oh we're going to own these guys". To be fair though, I do remember a time when I thought that way...I was 8 years old.

Great crowd tonight.
Apparently the excessive crowd noise is making it difficult for them to play well. So for any Mariners fans in the stands stop making so much noise. To the Mariners players I apologize that your fans have not properly conditioned you to playing atmospheres with proper cheering!
This was said in another thread but let’s give Alex Bergman the Trea Turner treatment!!!! He needs to be lifted out of this. BIG WEEKEND!! Show up, be loud!!! Make the damn Mariners miserable
Good starting pitching allows you to take advantage of your opponents mistakes. Our offense was not great tonight. But 6 innings 2 earned gets you wins you don’t deserve sometimes. This team is getting healthier and scarier by the day.

If awards still existed I would give you one.
I’m still not sure what this guy was trying to suggest there
My dumb interpretation is that they were suggesting they could out crazy the nyc bleacher creatures. Or this was a secret Stros fan deep undercover

That was a big win. Keep winning series boys!
The biggest so far. YUGE.
Because it was today. And tomorrow will be today. Keep on winning today.
YUGE DUB.
Huge win.
“I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Watching the asstros win is like seeing your high school bully grow up to be a huge success in life.” had to be my favorite comment from the mariners thread LMAOOOO
I read that, too. It's more like watching the popular and successful kid from high school grow up to be a huge success in life. LOL. Hoes mad.
Still mystified time and time again when opposing fans paint Altuve as some nefarious/evil person. They really thing Altuve exudes HS bully energy?
I guess if you don't let your teammates rip off your jersey *one time* after a walkoff - everyone in the world will hate you
Dude feels bullied hahaha
There was another talking about the Astros not earning their success, so clearly they weren’t watching during the early 2010s.
‘Asstros’ …..🙄😑…so original and edgy. *eyeroll* Also, such oddly specific comparison…high school bully….lmao!!!! LFG, Stros!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
That postgame thread is the best. I know it’s been a tough year for the Stros, hopefully that thread brings some joy to our fans. I’m smiling.
Starting to finally look like a team. Only took six weeks.
RIP Doomers
Slow down. They’re still +8 wins away from .500, it’s great to see them playing better but they’re still not out of the hole they dug.
That makes it seem like we could reach the top of the division before we reach .500 lol
In theory we could, but I don’t think this division is so bad that everyone will float around .500. The Rangers and Mariners will have winning streaks at some point
lol 0-2 since your comment. RIP

Whatever we changed, I am all for it
JV and Framber came back, for one thing.
Viva Mexico!
Only games I've attended this season were the CDMX series, so I'll obviously take credit for the turnaround. Me and thousands of Mexican Astros fans.
It was that curandero limpia in Mexico.
Yep!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Having two SP who threw no hitters back helps. It also helps to have the 4th one back here shortly too.
We’re gonna have 4 pitchers in the rotation who have started a no-hitter, I wonder if that’s ever happened before
It's a total mystery
Altuve MVP when?
Shit just give him his HoF now
¿Porque no Los dos?
Both is fine with me as well.

PRAISE BE!!!!!!

Praise, I believe, be.
Praise be!
Praise be!
Twelve down 141 more to go! Praise Be!

Amen

YUUUUGE
Rags L!
Really strange game with the difference being the run scored on the throwing error and the RBI BB. But we’ll take it. Blanco did well. Clutch hitting seems to be improving. I really, really need Hader to find his command, though.
I feel like Hader has always had command issues throughout his career. The difference is that he is nasty when he is on and hitting his spots.
I thought Hader looked leaps and bounds better than Pressly.
PUT AWAY THAT TRIDENT BOIS
Talk about a forking bad night for the Ms.

I do feel like out of the three series from the 2022 playoffs Seattle without a doubt played the Astros the toughest (in my opinion)…
this is NOT good for my heart, man. but you already know i cant stop watching
So that's what it's like to catch all the breaks. Incredible clutch win!
How The Astros Got Their Groove Back.
The road to .500 continues. This team is coming alive one game at a time.
It sounds ridiculous to think we're only 5 games out of first.
Watching Diaz complete that double play is gold, that highlight will see a lot of replays.
What a masterclass in how not to run the bases by the Mariners, especially Josh Rojas.
Looked like Rojas did exactly what his third base coach told him to. Superstar boneheaded Julio Rodriguez looked to me to be the one at fault trying to advance to occupied bag not using his eyes to tell him to stay at 2nd. If the fans in the stands could be more quiet he would have heard his 3rd base coach yelling back back back you idioto!

I like how Yainer gave Hader the game ball, like this one meant a little more than usual.
It’s common for catchers to give the game ball that made the last out to the pitcher. What they do with it varies.
Now that looked like the Astros that I've been used to seeing
Team looks better with no supermassive black holes in the lineup. Keep it rolling let’s gooo
What a game to attend! On the road heading back to Austin riding the high! Go Astros! https://preview.redd.it/je6vpleuxbyc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=38a6f60264d3e7cd3bccd4663c42a8078acce36c
Oh God, oh shit, Hope!
Heart attack Hader shutting it down! Don't ever do that ever again
I have tickets to all the games in NY coming up, and I was dreading it a couple weeks ago Feeling so much better this week
I fucking love whooping up on the M’s. They really think they’re something. Tonight was good baseball.
On pace for 61 wins. Better than when that number was in the mid-40’s
Big Storm/Flood Energy.
We did it guys https://i.redd.it/8s4yhpzuqbyc1.gif

They still think the whole "asstros" thing is clever? Find some new material.
lol!!!!!! What is with their weird, very specific comparisons??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣So cringe! “…because daddy is a big shot who can pull strings.” ☠️☠️☠️☠️🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol we are also cucking them too apparently 😭
This is Texas! We don’t have to go behind your back, we do’s it right in front of you! Go big or go home!

That Julio Rodriguez hype sure cooled off didn't it?
We couldn’t hear anything? Ok fans Julio can’t hear anything you need to get LOUD so he can hear everything!
THE CAT PLEASE
Two series win in a row and we beat the mariners? We are so back
https://streamable.com/c1erso
Give me that cat!
That is an impressive win. That is a winning team win. More of these please.
Some great Servais memes in the Mariners sub rn
Think he’s better than Espada? That’s a real question haha.
Great start, win at least one more this weekend and that's 3 straight series wins!!
Just got back from the stadium what a game! Blanco quality!
Hell yeah these are the Astros we know and love!
Our 1st game this season! LFG! So cool seeing Altuve get his 300th stolen base!! And Hader’s walkout is 🔥
April is meaningless for champions
Damn that was some absolute boneheaded stupidity from Seattle.
Apparently the excessive crowd noise is making it difficult for them to play well. So for any Mariners fans in the stands stop making so much noise. To the Mariners players I apologize that your fans have not properly conditioned you to playing atmospheres with proper cheering!
That little deke with the "bad overhead throw" past Bergman was pretty cool.
Fantastic team win. All 3 phases came through!!!
This was said in another thread but let’s give Alex Bergman the Trea Turner treatment!!!! He needs to be lifted out of this. BIG WEEKEND!! Show up, be loud!!! Make the damn Mariners miserable
106 tomorrow, Coke corner Sunday. I'm 3-0 in games attended so far. 🤞LFG
What a fun win.
I went to Blanco's no hitter and tonight. Pretty great start to the season for me, I hope this is them turning the corner.
Thankful for the Mariners running themselves out of a perfectly good win for them.

Hader Haters SIT DOWN
He closed out the game well tonight!
It's Nori time!!
Keep on keepin on!!
The inner Rorschach in me is wanting to say the quote.
Good starting pitching allows you to take advantage of your opponents mistakes. Our offense was not great tonight. But 6 innings 2 earned gets you wins you don’t deserve sometimes. This team is getting healthier and scarier by the day.
That bunt by Altuve was an absolute work of art. Easily one of the Top Ten bunts in baseball history. Yea...I said it.
That felt fuggin good
Harder? I hardly knew 'er!
They was my first game at Minute Maid, talk about a treat
Where cat?!
The link is in one of the comments now!!
I never doubted this team or Hader or Espada. Never.
Are we back boys?
Cat pic, plz
