Houston Astros 2019 thread............

[Phil Elliott]

We did set a franchise record for Ws...so there's that...

Yes but I want AJ to reduce my stress level in the 9th.

 

[Dionysus]

TB is on fire, up 9-3 in the bottom of the 6th

Hope the Astros come ready for game 4

 

[Joe Fan]

She's Longhorn so .....

Game 4 id looking like the Rays are going to take it. Everything going their way.

 

[2003TexasGrad]

Well. Whose pitching game 5? Cole?

Looking like Cole v Glasnow...or it could be another bullpen game from the Rays...

We need to make sure not to run ourselves out of an inning the way they did last night, even if it DID require two magnificent throws in tandem to nail 'tuve at the plate.

The two line-out DP's to Choi also did not help...

Rays could have done a LOT more damage though...kudos to the pen for keeping them from doing so.

 

[2003TexasGrad]

Its reminding me of last year where everything went the Red Sox way in the ALCS after we won game one. Last night felt exactly the same way.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Agree, 2003TexasGrad. After Boston got that 3-run double off of Cole, they shelled every pitcher we sent out there, even JV.

 

[mb227]

Not Houston's series, but, damn...Atlanta is in the middle of a whooping...Cards put up TEN in the first inning. And that is a Game 5...so Atlanta can start calling in their tee times for tomorrow...

 

[Dionysus]

Stros on fire in first inning ...

We need mo runs
They just hope to hold on until our bullpen has to pitch

 

[Dionysus]

Bats are dead now but I guess TB’s pitching has been good too

 

[2003TexasGrad]

Hows is Rays bullpen so deep but the Astros bullpen so weak?

 

[Dionysus]

A little insurance there ... 5-1 Astros

 

[Joe Fan]

 

[Joe Fan]

I think even Osuna can hold a 6-1 lead

(right?!)

 

[Dionysus]

okay 6-1

 

[theiioftx]

Close it out!

Can these guys take the Yankees? Home field should help.

This is probably what it looks like
We only get Cole twice if its goes 7
Greinke stepping up would help

Game 1: Greinke
Game 2: Verlander
Game 3: Cole
Game 4: Urquidy/bullpen
Game 5: Greinke
Game 6: Verlander
Game 7: Cole​

 

[VYFan]

So, two Verlanders and two Coles; that’s four.

Hopefully we get a bonus with Greinke at home. Given his "issues" with too much attention, starting @NY felt like certain loss. At least this way, we have a fighting chance with him. He is capable.

 

[Joe Fan]

BTW, this was a recreation of this

 

[Phil Elliott]

WRT to Kate Upton's tweet - damn that's strong.

So all we gotta do is win all the home games and we got this.

This is not that bad for us, IMO
We should pound them at home
They do not have as good a staff as Tampa Bay
