astros desu
Yea Forumsstros!
I still can't believe this is real.
This is high IQ pitching.
I like you astro bros. Here’s to a good series
Did Blummer and Todd have the day off?
(((BREGMAN)))
Yeah unfortunately
Who the Hell are these 2 guys? I mean, they're not bad but they don't banter very much.
let's go
AIR FUCKING YORDAN
HE FUCKING DOES IT AGAIN
reminder the dodgers could've had him
>that awkward rewind
kek
Hell if I know. I guess they're alright though.
Bregman
I can't believe Dodgers gave him up.
>got Josh Fields for him
lol
kek
They couldn't find a jersey to fit Grienke with?
His uniform does like a size or two too big.
Biggio used to do the same thing. Supposedly to deceive pitchers.
wtf I hate Nolan Ryan now
woooo
Triples are the most kino hit desu
WASTED
Also for free HBP without actually getting hit
Based Brantley
safe
Greinke pls
Someone give him the pinetar
>ASStros
>disastros
YULI
>colorado doesn't seem like such a bad tea-
holy shit
Damn
lol asstros
I think they were doing well before the all-star break. I'm not sure why exactly the collapsed after that though.
Hah, got the double play this time.
I think the image is probably related to why, even if you factor in pitching in outer space at Coors
SPRINGLE
It’s been a rough year
CHOO CHOO
It's not even close
damn, thought that one was going out
...
FUCK well that's not the best way to debut
>greinke
LMAO
Tilapia! Fucking lel
infield gets some of the blame
Yeah, I'm not sure if this game will just be an aberration, but the Astros' shifting seems to match very poorly with Greinke's pitching. If there was less shifting in the game, the score wouldn't be 5-5.
AND WE'RE BACK
corre/a/!
Correa is a fucking faggot
>that old school steal
Nice.
>rookie fielding
do we have a legendary pitcher in the making?
maybe, if the astros' autistic shifting doesn't undo it all
It's the clash of autism. Greinke's weirdass, off-speed pitching is optimized for getting ground balls in the typical locations of your infield. Astros' fielding is heavily based around autistically shifting depending on the batter. That shit is oil and water.
Woohoo back to a 2 run lead.
>literal blue hair in the crowd
>those ugly ass astros fans
>devo
ugh
I'm not even going to disagree with you. Houston has a ton of ugly freaks in it.
>Rondon up
Oh god please no
>reddick is a white male
you can see the fear in her eyes
>that baby schedule
the schedule up until now was complete bullshit though, more games against >.500 than any other team by far
CORREA!
Good, we'll need those extra runs when Rondon comes up.
>4 different HRs
So this is the power of juiced balls.
Good grief
Yea ForumsSTROS
ANANAS!
It's always the 7th inning
still winnable. need an arenado dong
astros desu
>Rondon
Just be good again please
not gonna cut it. astros bullpen is just too dang good
Alright let's close this one out.
>mchugh
ohnonono
Remember when McHugh was a starter? Seems surreal now.
>won 19 games
he needs another pinetar injection
The July collapse was more batting imo, the pitching was actually okay-ish. Story+Dahl were hitting like .750 OPS, Blackmon was .670 and Arenado was .610 OPS or something obscenely low.
>McShit
It's just three outs bro. How hard can it be.
WTF AJ, the one way to lose this game and you decide to go with it
I'd rather see McHugh with a big 5 run lead than in a close game.
I still remember the loss at Cleveland with Giles and a 5 run lead
>Giles
He's actually having a great season up in Toronto right now.
gg rocks
Alright we did it. gg rockies. You had a lot more offense than I expected honestly.
He was always a good pitcher, it was just all in his head. It was the same way with Brad Lidge.
gg Rockies
gg Astros. I mean at least this hurts the Dodgers in the World Series, probably.
Coor was in the air tonight.
He had a loser mentality. He was actually relieved he didn’t play in the WS
>relieved he didn't play
As was I
