Houston Astros 2018 Thread

Josh Reddick robbed the Orioles of a HR at the wall in RF, then hits one his next at bat to almost the same spot (RTIC sign). The following at bat? Grand Slam. This team is stacked. Oh yeah my man Jake got his first hit last night that was *not* a HR (he had 2 HRs in 2 starts against the Rangers). Meanwhile, Altuve and Correa both hitting well over .400 - did I mention we are stacked?

The Reddick salami

Bregman going all Brooks Robinson on the Orioles

Correa's inside-the-parker
He was pulled from the previous game due to a bad big toe

The Reddick catch

 

[Phil Elliott]

Correa's boo-boo toe felt better I guess.

Red Dog was en fuego last night!

No matter what happens on the field, Austin will go back to Astro country starting next season when the eXpress returns to the Astros.

And I can go back to going to Express games. I used to go to 2-3 a year when they were with the Astros, since the switch I have been to ONE game and that was because my wife made me. I saved my Express hat, tho, so I am ready.

We might win it all this year.

ya'll are my pick. as a dallas guy, i don't like the astros and rockets on principle (not the Texans though. maybe because they're not the Oilers and i like their logo).
but i love the astros roster (and rockets roster to be able to take down GSW-though i dislike CP3, i respect him).
the yanks will be tough. my guess is it depends on who the top 2 starters for each end up being in the ALCS.

Soooo, Kate Upton does not know how to spell "Whoa"?

Bregman going all Brooks Robinson on the Orioles

That was ridiculous. Not appreciated enough.

Is this our year?

Hosner probably feels like crap after that play but he got zero help from his teammates.

 

[Joe Fan]

Not us, but pretty darn remarkable nonetheless

I don't think Verlander is with her for her brains or her spelling skills. lol

The hell you say...

 

[Mr. Deez]

The hell you say...

I shouldn't be so shallow. He's with her for her intelligence, her sense of humor, her personality, her character, etc. Looks has nothing to do with it.

When Garrit Cole pitches, Bannister has Mike Scott nightmares

13-7 and bats have not yet caught up with themselves

 

[Phil Elliott]

The offense has been light across the team thus far and we have been riding our pitching. If pitching can stay on pace and our bats wake up, we will be a handful for anybody.

I love the pitching ninja
MLB got him banned off twitter fro awhile, but he is back now. In part because pitchers like Lance McCullers complained about it
Anyways .....
