I’m willing to bet you if the Astros fell apart after 2017 it would be more of a joke and like haha your only championship was cheating and moved on. The success since then is what fuels it.
Ohtani to the Astros makes too much sense.
1. We’re going to need a pitcher next year so we’re going to spend 25-30m anyway.
2. We need a good lefty bat. $20m. So an extra 5 you get Ohtani.
3. Watching the media have to shlob our knob after all these years would be hilarious.
4.
The Astros splitting a series against a last place team and then taking 2 and possibly setting up a sweep against the best team in the AL is so predictable.
Rough year for the Mariners. They never really recovered from their July World Series victory hangover against the Astros. Luckily though they will always have the memory of booing 3 guys and a manager who weren’t even on the 17 team at a fake game.
I know this dude is like 14 and ate paint chips as a kid but we got JV for 2 more years and wouldn't have even made the playoffs without that trade. Plus the Mets are paying $100m. Meanwhile they traded Acuna for Max who is done.
GAMEDAY THREAD:
#CancunWS
🇲🇽 Game 1
OVERVIEW: The Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies battle it out for the Cancun World Series crown after missing the cut last year.
PITCHERS: Justin Verlander (0-0) vs. Zack Wheeler (0-0)
KEY MATCHUPS: Jose Abreu and Bryce Harper,
The Texas Rangers have lost to the Houston Astros this season when we’ve started:
Ronel Blanco
Shawn Dubin
Brandon Bielak
In 3 of the last 4 game we won against them.
“Jake actually apologized”
“Jake wasn’t one of core Astros who benefited from it like Correa and Altuve”
“Jake didn’t even play in the World Series”
-Dodgers fans on Twitter mental gymnastics over the next couple of days.
Dodgers are signing outfielder Jake Marisnick to a big league deal, source confirms to The Athletic.
@thevandalorian
was on it.
Gives the Dodgers a right-handed bat.
From 1997 to 2016 the Astros:
1 NL Pennant
2 NLDS
3 Wild Cards
7 Post Season Appearances
4 NL Central Winner
That period is better than the entire history of Arlington (minus one pennant)
Funny. Same HOU fans who beat their chest over the last 6 seasons, completely ignoring the previous 20 seasons before 2017, want to jump on TEX fans for being happy about their most recent W vs HOU. You wouldn't think defending champs would be so insecure, but here we are.
Are Astros fans really upset about us looking to add Bellinger? Why would you be upset trying to help a guy who wants to win his first legitimate championship?
For the “We should’ve just signed Verlander in the winter” crowd remember this past winter we didn’t expect to lose Garcia and Lance for the season. Plans change and sometimes you have to as well.
Hey dumb Astros twitter:
When you score one run against the worst pitching staff in baseball, that’s not the managers fault.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
Astros SP last 4 games:
Blanco - 5.0
Brown - 4.0
Dubin - 4.0
Javier - 4.1
If you can’t understand why the bullpen is a mess and trying to squeeze one inning out of starter with a 4 run lead I don’t know what to tell you.
@CardinalsReek
Welcome to the trade deadline. Where every year Yankees fans think that other MLB teams want their trash for All-Star caliber players. It’s a tradition like no other.
"Billy, this is the 1-7 of the Astros lineup. There only defect is that when they go 6/60 over 2 games they lose ball games. When they go 6/24 with 3 Home runs they win ballgames, yet the fans blame the losses on the catcher."
I’m sorry but this lineup could be insane:
Bellinger/Dubon
Bregman
Yordan
Altuve
Tucker
Abreu
Chas/Pena
Diaz/Chas
Peña/Maldy
Dubon gives guys off the rest of the season and pinch hits.
The Astros are starting to work out at Minute Maid Park to get ready for spring training. Jose Altuve, Yordan Alvarez, Yainer Diaz and Joey Loperfido were among the guys in attendance today.
