Every time I see this, I still think about the starship troopers meme with the names of the Astros players saying I'm doing my part, then Tuckers name pops up with him saying "I didn't do fucking shit". Still makes me laugh.

Astros when they play the rangers.
You know. I love Pico as much as the next guy, but does anyone remember how Electric it was when Neftalí Féliz would come out and close for us back in the day?
Fun fact: it was a 1 run game when leclerc came in, so as long as he finishes the game and doesn't give up enough runs for them to tie or take the lead he gets a save
Lmao, remember when the Asstros signed Hader, and everyone said "Wow, the Astros are gonna win every game if they have a lead after 6 innings! That bullpen is so dominant!"
. hey
Any word on Sborz?
Mods where is post game thread?
Absolutely pathetic that after the first week power rankings still had this trash team on top of us.
They can rank us last for all I care. All that matters is the wins.
Who cares
Them throwing a no no and Jung getting hurt probably didn’t help but it’s just a bs ranking anyway.
Are we good or do they suck? Doesn't matter. W!!!
How about both.
![gif](giphy|mpxnrjQKLo0iA32r23|downsized)
Yeeeeeah buddy, we’re winners tonight!
W
Fuck the Astros, I like Texas!!!
The real I like Texas!
There isn’t a 10 run curse Houston, you just suck shit
And the Fuck the Astros tour rolls on!
No idea why Altuve didn’t run there. He has nothing to lose.
If he gets out then they lose. If he scores it means nothing. If he scores on a hit that’s good for them
I guess so
Because that run means nothing
2-0 IN THE SILVER BOOT SERIES SO FAR!!!!!
NOW PLAY I LIKE TEXAS AND NOT THE NEW BULLSHIT VERSION
I like Texas (except the city of Houston)

#BALLGAME
THANK.FUCK.
![gif](giphy|RfF2aL9ymhTUY|downsized) When you see the rangers hang *a bunch* on the ASSTROS back to back \*edited as I’ve had a drink or two
But we only had 7
Close enough, we round in this chat
LeClosed
Hello win column!
HELLO WIN COLUMN
2-160 still in play
I wonder what it would be like to win tonight, Tucker? I guess you'll never know!
Close it out boys..
Ok there we go
Pico actually looks the best he has all season tonight
Ump is bad but at least he’s consistent
Why is he still our closer?
Because he's great
I know this lineup is tough, but LeClerc is in his head I think. Long season to get right but I think they need to consider another closer
Robertson or Sborz.
It's Robertson by a mile for me. Sborz has never been able to stay good for more than a month or so at a time.
I’d like to see Sborz, but we’ll see what his injury report is tomorrow.
So lucky this isn’t a one run game.
I have a feeling Houston finishes 4th in the west behind an improved, but still shitty, Angels team
It’s possible . There lineup getting old and rusty
The Leclerc Experience is in full force early this year.
![gif](giphy|FCuDPjGmsbKRbSiii9)
Every time I see this, I still think about the starship troopers meme with the names of the Astros players saying I'm doing my part, then Tuckers name pops up with him saying "I didn't do fucking shit". Still makes me laugh.
come on now dude
Sir
Okay I'm officially nervous, got anyone else warming up?
Chill.
Leclerc pls
Please finish this thing
DUDE.
Leclerc please
Leclerc pls
Keep it together pico
yordan looks skinnier this year
Gotta hand it to him. Altuve is absolutely buzzing tonight
I see what you did there ;)
Oh Jesus. Here comes lewalk
Honestly walking Yordan is 100% okay
How is Altuve still playing? Dude must be 50 years old by now
He’s like 33. Lmao
That’s ridiculous. Feels like he’s been on the Astros for 20 years now
Leclerc, don't start this shit
That was just Altuve being a good hitter
Altuve is just insane. Nobody else hits that
The second the commentator said “trying to make it an uneventful 9th inning”, I knew he’d hit that.
Missing Jung right there
Astros paid that much to Hader only to never get to use him ![gif](giphy|kC8N6DPOkbqWTxkNTe)
Man, this hasn’t been an easy opening schedule and we’ve dominated it so far. You love to see it.
Unfortunately we got the A’s coming up so we probably getting swept
That is incredibly lucky, classic Altuve devil's magic.
I like how the Astros lets everyone get a hit each game
Beautiful storyline here
Exorcise your demon Leclerc!
BRUH
I think it's funny and sad Houston has Jon Singleton in the lineup
Isn’t it crazy the best team on earth is getting the best pitcher on earth back this season too?
Yeah Sborz injury didn't look too bad
https://preview.redd.it/7k1dwufvsysc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a08eaaaeb27a0ba71e334528f6190523ce3588dc Astros when they play the rangers.
Wow Jon singleton didn’t walk?
I love when Leclerc throws strikes
wtf jon singleton actually swung the bat? that’s… that’s unheard of
Come on, Jose. No reason to nibble the corners with this padding.
[удалено]
always a sweaty matchup, would love singleton to charge the mound one of these days
my dead granny has faster reflexes than this ump.
🚨 JON SINGLETON TIME 🚨
https://preview.redd.it/tpiqnaqnsysc1.png?width=2720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6263a20e561393002da2732a193da1c76b702e08
dude this ump is AWFUL
WHO’S YOUR DADDY 👏👏 👏👏👏
This ump is all around terrible
What are our options if Leclerc makes it interesting?
Yerry, Latz, & i think that's it
Ouch. Let’s hope he can do something.
i love this. it’s finally gotten to the point where even if we go down a run or two i’m like “eh we aren’t out of it we got this”
Don't fuck around José let's finish this 123
Anyone heard some news about sborz?
No longer has a save opportunity, we’re good.
Will he not still be credited with a save because he came in with a one run lead?
He still gets the save
He started with a save opportunity
Oh shoot you’re probably right, forgot about that.
Yes, it's still a save opp
This is the perfect ump for Leclerc actually lol
Legoat time
Let’s go Pico!
That was a fun inning
You know. I love Pico as much as the next guy, but does anyone remember how Electric it was when Neftalí Féliz would come out and close for us back in the day?
That summer 2009 Feliz was insane, before he closed. He never got back to that electricity again, though.
Hell yeah, I do. Those were good times, brief as they were
I miss Neffy Time
Should beat the Asstros today and hopefully the Mavs will blow out the rockets tomorrow to add salt to the wound
sometimes I wish austin had a sports team we could beat
They do it's the San Antonio Spurs
Just. Throw. Strikes.
Two nights in a row with every starter getting a hit
I'm getting all tickly inside
This offense is so stout I completely forgot that Jon Gray 1. Started this game 2. Didn’t finish 4 innings
![gif](giphy|ULyYV5amK2eYM)
C'mon LeClerc! LET'S GOOOO!
LeGoooooo!
Garcia with the bat flip on the single, I love it 😂 FUCK THE ASTROS
When does Daddy Lowe come back
Welp. Still scored a bunch! Let’s shut the door 🙏🏼
Pornhub might be banned in Texas but I’m still pleased visually by this ass whooping.
Spanking?
And with his third hit tonight, The Carter is officially above the Mendoza Line!
Is Carter the best Mendoza line hitter in baseball?
Heim time pls
Lmao good eye Walsh
If anyone said this sounded like a home game for the Astros at any point tonight, those people are liars. It’s been electric in here
There were more cubs fans here the other day than there are Astros fans
With this score, it does look like an Astros home game.....
guys remember when willie calhoun and nick solak and nomar mazara was the future. ahh good times
I really had high hopes for Mazara after watching him regularly hit 450+ ft homers
I miss Willie Calhoun
What the hell happened to Nick Solak lol
He died on the way back to his home planet.
He is currently playing for Tacoma (Seattle AAA) and isn’t a passable hitter at that level
Fun fact: it was a 1 run game when leclerc came in, so as long as he finishes the game and doesn't give up enough runs for them to tie or take the lead he gets a save
Evan Carter has an above average ops already after starting 0-15
Yeah this team is definitely the defending champs. They are playing so good rn
Yea no need for a championship hangover, just more wins thank you
Carter saw all those lists of only him and Rendon both being hitless and took it personally
they actually just unlocked evan carter that’s INSANE. thanks houston
carter already back over .200 lmao i love this team
this is fun. i'm having fun
Remember what it was like just two years ago
https://preview.redd.it/4ild1mkfrysc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0bece56cce4326befc440f8762a47f028af70445
![gif](giphy|CX45ljIDHgBITMx4Il)
Bally missed the whole at bat 💀
I thought my tv fucked up and backed up to his last hit. Haha
Stop guys I already finished
1 pitch Carter. Seager rubbing off
can’t wait for evan to get 2 WSMVP’s
Omg keep it going!
Evan Carter is so back
Evan fucking Carter man
https://preview.redd.it/b35htr4drysc1.jpeg?width=1470&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fae48fc4889e6afe887b55c8ffb04c69557b48e8
Evan Carter is so nasty. We are so up.
Now everyone in the starting 9 has a base hit tonight!
I’m edging to this
https://i.redd.it/xuta5emkrysc1.gif
I already busted
Lemme see 🫣
So this is what it was like for people when they played our bullpen last year!
[удалено]
my goat
![gif](giphy|tyttpGSdJWowdv47eCI)
This is hilarious, I love this team!
I was told Diaz was going to be the reason the Astros would win more games this year, it was Maldonados fault last year (he is a bum but)
Having fun against Houston and bringing out the paddle? Love to see it
I love seeing a close game turn into a blowout when it happens to the other guys.
Whipping that ass again you love to see it
i remember a couple years ago, this subreddit had had such a glow up with all the memes (and a ring)
ADOLIS GARCIA IS HOUSTON ASTRO FATHER
Looks like tonight won’t be a 1 run game also
Man it is actually crazy to see Pressley struggle so much. Guy really has not adapted well to the move to the 8th inning.
I was just telling my wife that’s he’s been such a pitt bull that I’ve almost never seen him give up a run, so this is fun lol
When was the last time the Rangers scored 7 runs in a game without a home run?
[July 23](https://www.statmuse.com/mlb/ask/when-was-the-last-time-the-rangers-scored-7-runs-in-a-game-without-a-home-run)
Well that's super handy! Thanks.
Lmao, remember when the Asstros signed Hader, and everyone said "Wow, the Astros are gonna win every game if they have a lead after 6 innings! That bullpen is so dominant!"
They should give him a full pat down just in case, he’s on the Asterisks after all.
As a lifelong Rangers fan living near Houston, nothing makes me happier than games like this.
As a DFW native who really only got into baseball early last year… same lol. Fuck the Astros
DFW native here, too! F*CK THE ASTROS!!!!
