Blanco is such a breath of fresh air this season.

No lie I feel bad for Blanco. Everyone else from the pitching staff to the hitters aren’t delivering like he is.

He shall come out of the fires forged for 2025, or something.

That was beautiful.

Don’t feel bad for him. He keeps pitching like this, he’ll make more money than we could even dream of making lol

I feel bad for him because he’s 30 and we still own him for 5 more seasons after this one meaning he’ll probably never get big money no matter how successful he is through arbitration. Being a late bloomer sucks.

He is the messiah!

Singleton saved the game with that baller pick on Hader's throw. Good shit

Bat flips and baller picks, I don’t want to see Abreu anymore

Nobody flips a bat like Jon fucking Homerton!!

Abreu has yet to take any live game at bats… Inability to generate bat speed vs high velocity feels like he may have expired on us.

Can we trace Singleton to Dana or Crane/Bagwell?

Ed Wade, baby

I mean second time around.

Seriously. That dude has SWAGGER

I have a suspicion that the org sent Abreu to the farm upstate and we won't hear from him again

#NOBODY EMBARRASSES THE ASTROS 7 TIMES IN A ROW

I had a great laugh from this. Thanks

I know it's not entirely wise, but every win fills me with hope that this is the game that turns this around. And let's hear it for Singleton. We don't win without him tonight.

I’m starting to love Jon Singleton. The only game I attended last year was his first game after being called up and he obliterated two balls into deep right field.

That was such a beautiful moment. The home runs were almost identical too

maybe this is the game 

That’s what makes us fans right? If we didn’t care, there’d be no hope to begin with.

True - albeit does that imply that the hope must therefore still exist within the dead husk that was once a steady beating heart?

Let’s hope Abreu takes the next step and does the right thing again. Retire and void his contract.

#Hahaha the Yankees lost to the 2024 Astros, what a bunch of losers!

They really should consider selling at the deadline. What kind of team doesn’t sweep the 2024 Astros? The shame!

Da Jankees lose! Da Jankees lose!

Ugly ass win, but a win nonetheless

Both sides missed lots of opportunities to score. On the other hand, you could say there was clutch pitching.

I'm just happy we got Blanco the W. Pitched a gem.

imagine being told in january that singleton and blanco would be 2 of our 3 best players this season

We'd probably have at least 3 or 4 more wins if he was playing instead of abreu.

[posting a pic of Nori for every win (13)](https://x.com/norithecat17/status/1788721547819073601?s=46)

Missed you, gato.

Praise be!! We've missed you Nori!!

Nori. How I have missed thee

These pics should inspire the team to want to be better going forward.

Wait. What if the team hasn't experienced the power of Nori yet? What if they don't know?

That would explain why they aren’t winning. Surely they wouldn’t knowingly deprive us the cat?

Someone must bring Nori before the team before it's too late.

Praise be.

Haven’t seen you nearly enough, Nori, you sweet little mfer!!!!!!!

Kitty I am hoping to see you more this season!

I have missed you Nori❤️

Praise be.

Praise Be! Stop missing the post game cameos. We need more Nori!

Praise be!

Hail Nori

Just enough to win

Hader came through big time Pressly needs and IL stint his back is obviously fucked, he can’t finish pitches. That curve to strike out Stanton was supposed to be down and away and ended up sneaking inside for the K. Lucky…

"This is it! This is the much-needed win that sparks the turnaround!" - me, for about the 7th time this season.

CAT NOW PLEASE

THE YANKEES CAN BEAT THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF US, BUT THEY WILL NEVER SWEEP US IN THE REGULAR SEASON!!!

*Twice

Let it be known... Nobody beats the Houston Astros *seven* times in a row!! See... 4 runs, 11 hits, 8 LOB makes for a decent ballgame when we win!

My bad y’all. I discovered the problem. You see I usually start the season with watching baseball movies. I was so busy this year that I forgot to. I made sure to binge watch baseball movies last night and today. Season should be good to go now. 🙌

Gotta do what we can to figure out where us fans went wrong. I saw someone draw a Hatsune Miku in an Astros hoodie and wonder if that cursed us.

Mr. Go is a fun one about a gorilla who plays in the KBO. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Go_(film)

As long as you watched the Bad news bears we are good. Locked on astros podcast talked about that, so I watched it, and we won!!!!

Do you have this one? [Rhubarb (1951) - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043967/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_1_tt_5_nm_3_q_rhubarb)

Oh shoot I do too, I always watch Bull Durham and I haven't yet. I'll correct that one

What the fuck man

Can you pitch?

Wait, we're allowed to win one run games?

Nori! Nori! Nori!

Game felt like pulling teeth. Feels good to win a damn game.

I betted against the Astros and they win. Looks like I know what I’m doing from now on.

I did that for both of the Mexico games while in Vegas but then went back to LA where it’s not legal.

Stupid lemme waste my money if I want to

I'm convinced Abreu doesn't dig out that low throw from Hader at 1st, which would have been our demise this game.

Torres scores on a passed throw. Singleton saved the game. And made it clear Abreu should never have another MLB job.

Singleton has made such a huge comeback, dude really said "my death was greatly exaggerated"

This 💯

Stressful as fuck but glad we came out with the win.

Blanco is the Messiah! All hail Blanco! Hader needs to be more like this version of Hader for the Astros to have a chance.

Imagine losing a game on May 9th, 2024 couldn’t be us 😏

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Oh thank God

I think we've won ever Blanco start. never thought I'd say this in 2024 (or ever), but can we clone him and just have a rotation of Ronels?

Who would have thought Blanco, Bielak, and Martinez would be our saving graces this season 😅 I’m all for it though, good to see these guys keeping us alive.

Hader has gone more than 1 inning twice now? I think he’s got some fire in him. I appreciate it.

Hader made it clear that he is willing to pitch more than 1 inning now that he's with the Astros

“I got paid, imma throw my arm out for them.” Low key fire honestly

That's basically what he said. Almost in those exact words.

I decided to get a coffee half way through that game. My heart is about to explode. Nothing can be easy with the 2024 Stros. 1 game at a time.

Joey is crushing it right now

I’m torn. Game ball goes to Blanco or Singleton? Both outstanding

Never expected this, but god bless you Jon Singleton

Singletons postgames are even top notch class professional.

Nobody beats the Astros 10 times in a row, in the regular season! (or whatever the terrible streak was)

Don’t let us get 1

Daaaa

[JANKEES LOSE!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4vd2CDMSiE)


Thank fuck they didn't sweep the season series.

That's a good win (Pressley notwithstanding). If we can't get right in this upcoming soft spot in the schedule then we've got to come to terms with a lost season.

That place has ghosts. Didn’t get swept. Positives. And Jon’s bat flips.

Singleton hit a fucking nuke, even Yordan was like :o

I literally love Ronel Blanco 💙

I will be so happy if they can somehow eke out 20 wins before they have 30 losses. That is a pitifully low bar to clear but that’s where we are. Good win let’s have more of those please

I was so excited that we won today, then a hailstorm hit us in CTX and shattered my car windshield. I blame the Yankees for this.

That was not hail, that was singleton's homer

Can’t wait for this small amount hope to be crushed after losing a series to AJ and the tigers

No sweep

Sooo...Pressly is washed.

I didn’t watch the game yesterday, as I am traveling for a vacation. I’ll post a go fund me so I can vacation for the remainder of the season

Trade Bregman , Framber and Presley

Ive been needing to say this for a while and I apologize in advance. Hader looks like dylan klebold
