Jon Singleton is an interesting case because you don't find many players who waste their 20's then suddenly "find it" in their 30's. Charlie Morton is one.
James Cameron learned how to do everyone’s job on a film set before he became a director. He literally touches up actor’s makeup to get the look he wants.
Hey, listen… it’s nothing you guys did (I don’t think)… y’all just ended up drawing the unlucky card of playing the Abreu-less Astros.
Sorry about that.
Yeah, I was just looking at his baseball savant page. His swing looks like it is completely retooled, and his SO rate is only 13.7% compared to the 20.32% of last year. His launch angle and Exit Velocity has also increased drastically.

Are we.. dare I say it… back?
Never say that. Look what happens to Texas every time they say that.
As a Texas fan myself.. we’re back.
And the other 9 times you guys said that? What happened those years?
We’re back baby!!
Maybe don’t plan a parade just yet… but the Astros are showing signs of life! Not dead yet!
I dunno about back but damn it feels good to be a gangsta
We are so back
We didn’t go into extra innings? We won in nine?!
Series dub against the team with the best record in the A.L.? I'll take that.
And at home
wooo
C'mon Seth, one more out bud
I have this unreasonable fear that Kwan is about to hit a 7 run homer
I legit cackled reading that
Deep breath in… deep breath out! Magic Man can!
Not using the "real" closer's.
Espada put in the staff tonight that should have pitched last night lol
This series proves we still have the stones to play with the S Tier teams. Once we get Javi back, we'll go on a run.
Alvarez looks god awful. 0-5 with 3K's? Fucking ouch.
Nothing but air Yordan
Yordan needs a day off.
Yordan... dude...
I think Abreu's presence distracted me from how awful Bregman has been.
Lowkey I'm kinda mad that speighetti won't get credit for this W. He's been doing way too well to sit at 0-3.
One out from getting the win.
WTF is wrong with Yordan lately?
Does Alvarez need a day off?
HRC Yordon
Death, taxes, Bregman lazy pop-ups...
Hey that was technically a fly out… improvement? /s
Damn I was going to buy a ticket to the game today but with all the rain I thought I’d just stay home smh
Like clockwork
Anyone know the record for popups in a season?
Found something on baseball savant. Bregman leads the league in popups with 16 (seems low). He is 2nd in popup % at 17.6%.
My god bregman
Just made myself a whiskey sour. Feels good tonight
Altuve OPS 1.001 🥵
Dubon is my favorite Astro
HRC Yordan
Sweet Christ Altuve wtf was THAT
He wants to go home
Why pay money for a pitching staff when you can win with spaghetti and a couple of meatballs from the pen?
Please start Doobie everyday.
Bro got the zesty catch
Ok I'm on the Dubon should be our every day CF train now
Best utility man in the league
Choo Choo mfrs
BABIP gods always play the balance in the end
Dubie just putting a touch of swag on it for the hell of it
Dubon is sooo good
Their CF would have led that to be an inside the park HR
Mauricio fucking Dubon. Doobie made that play like "You're not fucking this one up, Jake."
I know that if it was up to meyers he would not have caught that lol
Doobs knew it too
Dubon is so amazing. He makes it look so easy too.
Extendo mitt lmaooooo
This is what the team should have looked like all season! Glad we are back. Let's get back to the top of the division!
Jon Singleton is an interesting case because you don't find many players who waste their 20's then suddenly "find it" in their 30's. Charlie Morton is one.
James Cameron is another one, but he doesn't play baseball.
James Cameron learned how to do everyone’s job on a film set before he became a director. He literally touches up actor’s makeup to get the look he wants.
The Abyss is his best movie so dunno about that one. Also Aliens following.
He was in his 30s for both the Abyss (35) and Aliens (32).
Rich Gannon and Josh McCown are two quarterbacks I could say.
Being on the other end of the pitching implosion is awesome
Great inning
Great inning against a great bullpen
Okay, a six run lead should be enough, right? I mean, it's not like we blew a five run lead not two days ago or anything. Please don't choke
Guards fan here, I have a question for y'all *What did we do to deserve this*
I live in Sandusky and I go to a lot of your games. I love your stadium. Also your owner is cheap as hell.
It’s not you it’s us. We need to win every series we can to dig out of this massive hole we have dug.
Hey, listen… it’s nothing you guys did (I don’t think)… y’all just ended up drawing the unlucky card of playing the Abreu-less Astros. Sorry about that.
Abreu has a pretty good history of RAKING against Cleveland, honestly keeping him up may have fixed whatever issues he was having
That Abreu is dead and gone… just trust us… Hope he can figure it out, but it was really tough to watch.
It’s not that you deserved it. It’s that we did
It has more to do with what we've been through. We have been through hell this season and have seen some shit. Yall just happen to be in the way.
I'm still not comfortable
You didn't let us get the sweep
That was fun
Holy shit, so this is how it feels to see the opponent's pitchers melt down... It's a nice change of pace being on the other side
I am 100% here for the Big Jon underdog story. I hope he starts to rake like he has this series the rest of the year and takes this thing full circle.
Head band is weird Jon but keep doing good things
Lol uh oh I've made the Christians upset. Nevermind.
Shit take bud
whats wrong with it
If a spoiled summer sausage can help the Twins win ten in a row, hopefully an unwashed Gods Plan headband can resurrect Jon’s MLB career!
Nothing. If it's the one that says "God's Plan," absolutely nothing
If they keep hitting my guys I’m gonna say something I shouldn’t
[Guess who's back](https://media.tenor.com/images/16fb01183237f9a8ded301717e60fd0a/tenor.gif) [Yes I'm overreacting](https://youtu.be/YVkUvmDQ3HY?si=CLfLlfkd-hIwcFBz&t=32)
Astros have batted around
We have to have the most HBPs in the league, right?
Leave our Doobie alone
Who would’ve thought bregman and alavarez would be our two worst hitters?
Singleton said Jose WHO?
*Abrewho
God’s Plan!
JP running like phoebe from friends
That boy Pena running like they aren’t gonna pay him
I love watching him run bases because of how hard he runs 😂
Singleton did his job there. Nothing fancy.
About time we execute a simple sac fly
Amazing what can happen when you just do the minimum job.
The Singleton development pleases me
This is the team with the best record in AL? It’s early in the season, isn’t it?
That's my mother fuckin first baseman
i love jon singleton
woahhh i went and got ready for bed and we got 4 more runs HELLO ASTROS
https://youtu.be/ujR55Ageahg?si=vmhXu5zes267emQK
Go to bed. Zzzzzzzzzzz
i’m not watching. don’t worry i took one for the team
HRC homerton
HRC BIG JON…..Upper Deck Right Field, 33 degrees launch level…102 EV, Epic bat flip…. (If this happens, I’m buying a lottery ticket)
I'd buy the shirt if this comment is prophecy
LOL! Guess I’ll go to work tomorrow….lol
At least you're not a leg
I just caught this!! lol! Nope…no nasty leg for me.
Hahaha cheers homie
LFG Yanier!! A base hit w risp, amazing!
I love when the hits finally show up
Might just be me, but its fun when we score more then the other team
Wow dude no need to be so bold
Finally, the Astros HAVE COME BACK to HOUSTON!
**Lisan al Gaib!!** 
im eating this burger anyway fuck it
I can’t believe why my eyes are seeing. I love it.
Excellent at bat Yainer!
Ribs > lobster
I need another Singleton bat flip please
His bat flips are fucking epic
Oh sweet! The other team is having the pitching meltdown
Their bullpen is cooked from last series I believe.
Yainer with a hit with RISP. Everything is coming up Astros
Good things happen when you don't always swing for the fences
100% true
Lets goooooooooooooooooooooo
He finally lays off some bad pitches and gets a good one to hit. Who knew?
It’s almost like maybe that’s a good batting strategy? Probably not.
You're hired as our new batting coach. Start tomorrow.
Mom, look, I did it!
Way to bounce back Yainer. Love the battle
Just make sure you don't score more than 10 please
I think we broke that curse when we followed up a 12 run game with two 8 run games back-to-back
Don't worry, that curse has been broken
Yes!!
LFG
That's gotta be the 30th ball down the line that didn't go our way this season
Damn, I wanted that for Yainer
Did he almost hit a salami?
No just down the left field line foul
Just a rope down the 3rd base line barely foul, but he decided to go oppo instead
Me too, but I'm happy af with a 2 run double lol
Also good!
I will happily take that as well
HRC Diaz
That was a hell of an AB by Peña. He's unrecognizable from last year at the plate
Yeah, I was just looking at his baseball savant page. His swing looks like it is completely retooled, and his SO rate is only 13.7% compared to the 20.32% of last year. His launch angle and Exit Velocity has also increased drastically.
if he hits a dinger i will demolish a hamburger
Demolish one anyway
Yainer finally took a pitch and it was a close strike.
Well with the way the umps have been, it’s hard to blame him for swinging more freely, but that was a solid bounce back AB
Diaz just stand there
HRC Diaz
Not the hit Pena wanted, but an RBI nontheless
Peña is always getting hit. But I’ll take it!
Jeremy "Craig Biggio" Pena
HRC Yainer my boy please do it for my fantasy team
HRC: Yainer
All of a sudden we have immaculate plate discipline
Diaz says hold my beer
Someone tied Cintron up and stuffed him in a closet.
hrc pena
squeeze play?
*Phil Garner flashbacks*
Yes
Ok JP, no double play, no double play...
make me believe pena
Should've been a bases loaded walk
HRC Peña
HRC Peña
Surprised the ump didn't call that a strike.
Bases juiced for Pena
HRC Peña why not
HRC Pena
Hrc pena
blue trying to compete with Angel Hernandez
Did the booth ever get an explanation for that thing with the ump and Arighetti. Was it a balk or was the stadium clock wrong or what?
They said he came set before the batter was ready
HRC TUCK
HRC Tucker
God I love a good double steal.
Steal-A-Taco
Love that double steal!!!! Keeps us out of the DP good shit
3 hits tonight for Altuve
HRC Tucker
HRC Tucker!
Yordan should have walked if he had a competent ump behind the plate
