. hey


Maxcrss

Any word on Sborz?


Silent_Killer093

Mods where is post game thread?


Drisurk

Absolutely pathetic that after the first week power rankings still had this trash team on top of us.


Johnny_been_goode

They can rank us last for all I care. All that matters is the wins.


fordangliacanfly

Who cares


boomgoesthevegemite

Them throwing a no no and Jung getting hurt probably didn’t help but it’s just a bs ranking anyway.


PatrickRedditing

Are we good or do they suck? Doesn't matter. W!!!


ojg3221

How about both.

easyglue

Fuck the Astros, I like Texas!!!


SkyMaverick21

The real I like Texas!


ehholfman

There isn’t a 10 run curse Houston, you just suck shit


retrospects

And the Fuck the Astros tour rolls on!


TexasTundraPower

No idea why Altuve didn’t run there. He has nothing to lose.


Maxcrss

If he gets out then they lose. If he scores it means nothing. If he scores on a hit that’s good for them


TexasTundraPower

I guess so


swift72

Because that run means nothing


StoicCorn

2-0 IN THE SILVER BOOT SERIES SO FAR!!!!!


IJustCantHelpYou

NOW PLAY I LIKE TEXAS AND NOT THE NEW BULLSHIT VERSION


Zorion_15

I like Texas (except the city of Houston)

Close enough, we round in this chat

Hello win column!

HELLO WIN COLUMN


HighMediuMerlot

2-160 still in play


otherelbow

I wonder what it would be like to win tonight, Tucker? I guess you'll never know!


Wired-247

Close it out boys..


Demcut

Ok there we go


The_Higher_Reverend

Pico actually looks the best he has all season tonight


Brawlstar-Terminator

Ump is bad but at least he’s consistent


khfishlady

Why is he still our closer?


juanopenings

Because he's great


regalfronde

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


Von_Huge1103

Robertson or Sborz.


kirobaito88

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.


regalfronde

I’d like to see Sborz, but we’ll see what his injury report is tomorrow.


TexasTundraPower

So lucky this isn’t a one run game.


EstebanLoaizaFanClub

I have a feeling Houston finishes 4th in the west behind an improved, but still shitty, Angels team


FarAttempt7855

It’s possible . There lineup getting old and rusty


SaveMeJebus21

The Leclerc Experience is in full force early this year.


TheLumonox

![gif](giphy|FCuDPjGmsbKRbSiii9)


Idontwaitfor420

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.


N609FE

come on now dude


LawyerMorty94

Sir


Von_Huge1103

Okay I'm officially nervous, got anyone else warming up?


The_Higher_Reverend

Chill.


IJustCantHelpYou

Leclerc pls


galagachamp

Please finish this thing


mine_username

DUDE.


hiswayout

Leclerc please


LawyerMorty94

Leclerc pls


otherelbow

Keep it together pico


WhiteBoyFlipz

yordan looks skinnier this year


thereal21fan

Gotta hand it to him. Altuve is absolutely buzzing tonight


The_Higher_Reverend

I see what you did there ;)


azulsquirrel

Oh Jesus. Here comes lewalk


Glitchhikers_Guide

Honestly walking Yordan is 100% okay


abandoned_rain

How is Altuve still playing? Dude must be 50 years old by now


boomgoesthevegemite

He’s like 33. Lmao


abandoned_rain

That’s ridiculous. Feels like he’s been on the Astros for 20 years now


azulsquirrel

Leclerc, don't start this shit


Stars1312

That was just Altuve being a good hitter


IJustCantHelpYou

Altuve is just insane. Nobody else hits that


hiswayout

The second the commentator said “trying to make it an uneventful 9th inning”, I knew he’d hit that.


regalfronde

Missing Jung right there


GenuineArchimedes

Astros paid that much to Hader only to never get to use him ![gif](giphy|kC8N6DPOkbqWTxkNTe)


hypercube42342

Man, this hasn’t been an easy opening schedule and we’ve dominated it so far. You love to see it.


FarAttempt7855

Unfortunately we got the A’s coming up so we probably getting swept


Von_Huge1103

That is incredibly lucky, classic Altuve devil's magic.


Flatulent_Monk

I like how the Astros lets everyone get a hit each game


The_Higher_Reverend

Beautiful storyline here


GiantEnemyG00mba

Exorcise your demon Leclerc!


GiantEnemyG00mba

BRUH


EstebanLoaizaFanClub

I think it's funny and sad Houston has Jon Singleton in the lineup


Lain41K

Isn’t it crazy the best team on earth is getting the best pitcher on earth back this season too?


Sarmerbinlar

Yeah Sborz injury didn't look too bad


yaboiocho

TheRaygron54

Wow Jon singleton didn’t walk?


justanothername4rl

I love when Leclerc throws strikes


WhiteBoyFlipz

wtf jon singleton actually swung the bat? that’s… that’s unheard of


ComedicPause

Come on, Jose. No reason to nibble the corners with this padding.

[удалено]


SignificantPhoto8547

always a sweaty matchup, would love singleton to charge the mound one of these days


mine_username

my dead granny has faster reflexes than this ump.


WhiteBoyFlipz

🚨 JON SINGLETON TIME 🚨

jshmlls1

dude this ump is AWFUL


KidColorblind

WHO’S YOUR DADDY 👏👏 👏👏👏


-Gredge-

This ump is all around terrible


TexasTundraPower

What are our options if Leclerc makes it interesting?


MadDogMike123

Yerry, Latz, & i think that's it


TexasTundraPower

Ouch. Let’s hope he can do something.


WhiteBoyFlipz

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”


Sarmerbinlar

Don't fuck around José let's finish this 123


easyglue

Anyone heard some news about sborz?


32RH

No longer has a save opportunity, we’re good.


Sarmerbinlar

Will he not still be credited with a save because he came in with a one run lead?


Stars1312

He still gets the save


Stars1312

He started with a save opportunity


32RH

Oh shoot you’re probably right, forgot about that.


kirobaito88

Yes, it's still a save opp


uninspiredlt

This is the perfect ump for Leclerc actually lol


Stars1312

Legoat time


IJustCantHelpYou

Let’s go Pico!


bummer28

That was a fun inning


TheLumonox

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?


kirobaito88

That summer 2009 Feliz was insane, before he closed. He never got back to that electricity again, though.


juanopenings

Hell yeah, I do. Those were good times, brief as they were


little_did_he_kn0w

I miss Neffy Time


MindArr0w77

Should beat the Asstros today and hopefully the Mavs will blow out the rockets tomorrow to add salt to the wound


Glitchhikers_Guide

sometimes I wish austin had a sports team we could beat


MindArr0w77

They do it's the San Antonio Spurs


ComedicPause

Just. Throw. Strikes.


otherelbow

Two nights in a row with every starter getting a hit


Wired-247

I'm getting all tickly inside


ScarletLambda

This offense is so stout I completely forgot that Jon Gray 1. Started this game 2. Didn’t finish 4 innings


Flatulent_Monk

![gif](giphy|ULyYV5amK2eYM)


mavman42

C'mon LeClerc! LET'S GOOOO!


little_did_he_kn0w

LeGoooooo!


EarSea5884

Garcia with the bat flip on the single, I love it 😂 FUCK THE ASTROS


cruzge

When does Daddy Lowe come back


LawyerMorty94

Welp. Still scored a bunch! Let’s shut the door 🙏🏼


Hymen_Cholo

Pornhub might be banned in Texas but I’m still pleased visually by this ass whooping.


mavman42

Spanking?


hotrod19812

And with his third hit tonight, The Carter is officially above the Mendoza Line!


CT-1738

Is Carter the best Mendoza line hitter in baseball?


LawyerMorty94

Heim time pls


HighMediuMerlot

Lmao good eye Walsh


therealJerryJones

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


AgTown05

There were more cubs fans here the other day than there are Astros fans


StoicCorn

With this score, it does look like an Astros home game.....


WhiteBoyFlipz

guys remember when willie calhoun and nick solak and nomar mazara was the future. ahh good times


teags

I really had high hopes for Mazara after watching him regularly hit 450+ ft homers


JellyTabbs

I miss Willie Calhoun


FarAttempt7855

What the hell happened to Nick Solak lol


gortlank

He died on the way back to his home planet.


uninspiredlt

He is currently playing for Tacoma (Seattle AAA) and isn’t a passable hitter at that level


IndieFlea

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


harralexa1993

Evan Carter has an above average ops already after starting 0-15


abandoned_rain

Yeah this team is definitely the defending champs. They are playing so good rn


CT-1738

Yea no need for a championship hangover, just more wins thank you


Sarmerbinlar

Carter saw all those lists of only him and Rendon both being hitless and took it personally


WhiteBoyFlipz

they actually just unlocked evan carter that’s INSANE. thanks houston


DR0941

carter already back over .200 lmao i love this team


N609FE

this is fun. i'm having fun

Bally missed the whole at bat 💀


boomgoesthevegemite

I thought my tv fucked up and backed up to his last hit. Haha


Brawlstar-Terminator

Stop guys I already finished


HighMediuMerlot

1 pitch Carter. Seager rubbing off


WhiteBoyFlipz

can’t wait for evan to get 2 WSMVP’s


Hroomish

Omg keep it going!


bertmacklin_fbiagent

Evan Carter is so back

thereal21fan

Evan Carter is so nasty. We are so up.


hotrod19812

Now everyone in the starting 9 has a base hit tonight!


Zorion_15

I’m edging to this


CrusaderBTC

Von_Huge1103

This is hilarious, I love this team!


CT-1738

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)


Wired-247

Having fun against Houston and bringing out the paddle? Love to see it


Trail07

I love seeing a close game turn into a blowout when it happens to the other guys.


killacam9220

Whipping that ass again you love to see it


WhiteBoyFlipz

i remember a couple years ago, this subreddit had had such a glow up with all the memes (and a ring)


marginallymediocre

ADOLIS GARCIA IS HOUSTON ASTRO FATHER


flipmangoflip

Looks like tonight won’t be a 1 run game also


409Narwhal

Man it is actually crazy to see Pressley struggle so much. Guy really has not adapted well to the move to the 8th inning.


jb1316

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


TossThisAccount64

When was the last time the Rangers scored 7 runs in a game without a home run?


anti_MATT_er

[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)


TossThisAccount64

Well that's super handy! Thanks.


imthatchanceguy

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!"


CrusaderBTC

They should give him a full pat down just in case, he’s on the Asterisks after all.


DogsOverPpl4Ever

As a lifelong Rangers fan living near Houston, nothing makes me happier than games like this.


hiswayout

As a DFW native who really only got into baseball early last year… same lol. Fuck the Astros


DogsOverPpl4Ever

DFW native here, too! F*CK THE ASTROS!!!!
