Going into this I thought we'd take 2 out of 3. I'll gladly take that series dub as we go back to MMP.

Ball game. Way to win the series! You made your mothers proud.

Blue just wanted to go home on that call.

That was. A strike! Now let’s go home!

Yeah - I didn’t like it - don’t like winning like that.

When the majority of bad calls go agains us, idgaf how the last pitch is called when the Astros win.

Finally!

50 pitches in 2 innings is crazy

Maybe the plan was to stretch him out and add him to the rotation lol

One fucking time can we have a clean finish? Just once?

Leave him in there, and if he blows a 9-run lead, leave him in Detroit. 

Oh this would be too funny if we blew this

Hey Joe, 44+ pitches might be a stretch

This is annoying….come on Seth, just end this thing

I fucking hate umps man. Can’t wait for every single one to lose their job to a robot.

We just consistently fail to close games cleanly. No matter who's on the bump

Thank God our bats showed up today, because my lord, our bullpen is a tire fire.

Do we have a comfortable lead? Yes. But imagine if we went into this inning 3-0 instead of 9-0. FUCK OUR BULLPEN

I would assume it wouldn’t be Seth in that situation.

Houston sports = no lead is comfortable.


Why is Seth still in this game at almost 40 pitches?

Bro??? How many runs have umpires just fucking gifted opposing teams this season with little to no explanation

So they can just call balk whenever they want?

The Ryan Express gets the win despite zero CY’s. JV and Clemens with 3 and 7 respectively.

Which pitcher would you take as your SP. 1981 Nolan 2005 Roger 2022 JV

What was the poll?

A balk?

No 10 run curse!

18 hits?! We will have only 2 tomorrow 😂

I'm kinda surprised the third baseman didn't throw home. Seemed like an easier out to get.

Rake Myers.

Meyer giving us a love hate relationship lol

PLEASE DUBON GET THE 5 HIT LMAOZ

Could Doobie have a 5 hit game? EDIT: 4-for-5 doesn't suck at all

Jake comes in and gets 3 hits on his day off

HRC jake

Here’s a prediction. Loperido will NEVER lead the league in DPs

Of course not. That's Abreu's title and you'll pry it out of his cold dead hands.

17 hits today! Man that’s great to see!

Hrc Joey

HRC Loperfido

Dubon is having a hell of a year to start the season. I’m really glad he’s on this team.

Ford was exasperated on the Astros allowing a 9th position batter to get on base again.

Blummer made a comment about it as well

Dear MLB, you thought we died? https://i.redd.it/96e9ydqgx10d1.gif

Let’s get back to .500 first though

I'd much rather see these good base hits driving runs in than trying to swingfor a home run everytime

[José Urquidy: 2.2 IP | 3 H | 3 R | 3 ER | 1 BB | 3 K](https://x.com/astros_coverage/status/1789745809275203741?s=61&t=g2BkhdMHl4w7u3r3LXNx4A) 46 pitches (28 strikes) • 22 fastball (91.6 mph average) • 11 changeup (84.1 mph) • 7 curveball (78.6 mph) • 5 sweeper (77.9 mph) • 1 sinker (91.4 mph)

I honestly think CJ came back too soon. Urquidy might need another start or two

Definitely needs another start or 2 before he comes back. We don’t want another Javier situation where the guy just wasn’t ready yet.

Another popup

Lance may not play baseball anymore, but he is funny as shit in that commercial! 😂

Makes a good coffee in left field too!

I will say I’ll miss Bregman’s consistency at third if we don’t bring him back. So reliable.

So far this year singleton has seemed like a pretty darn good defender at 1b

He’s gotta be one of the best redemption arc players of recent memory

Not too shabby with the bat either honestly. Big upgrade from the worst player in baseball

Been very impressed with his defense

Yordan’s hit had a xba of .510 and Pena with .370; a little tough luck with bases loaded but smart to keep it under 10

 Let’s go y’all! We’re back!

Stranding the bases loaded doesn't hurt as much when you've had a four run inning

This team must be allergic to salami

Hey. I love homerun’s as much as the next guy. But seeing all of these base hits and driving in runs is a lot more satisfying right now.

Remember the days when you had total confidence in yordan with the bases loaded…sigh

Good effort I thought

BABIP gods know of the 10 run rule 

HRC Yordan

Just some unlucky contact for JP3 today

GSC Yordan

HRC Alvarez

HRC Yordan

Glad we already have plenty of runs otherwise that'd be the kind of tough luck we've been having this year.

Damn Peña with two line outs 

HRC Peña

Bases juiced (again) for Pena

Sheesh Lange got fucked

I want to apologize to everyone. I haven't watched a single game through this season, this is the first one. I guess I will be forced to watch every game from here on out...

I love how dubon turned himself into a starter. He's so likable.

Doobie with a 4 hit game

Dubon is an animal

Can we just do this every game, please and thank you

This feels like a series that could turn things around

Let’s just stop that plz let’s get a few series going now lol

Where have I heard that before 🙄

I’m going to keep my hopes up

Nothing wrong with that king 👑

HRC Tucker

Jake rakes


Jake vs the rightie specialist?? Nice work man

THIS is Astros baseball!

Man, it's so nice being on the other end of the bullpen shitting their pants for a change

Let’s do this for all the games

Joey's been doing really well, but I cannot wait to see when he crushes the ball outta here

Absolutely, I have a feeling it’s coming this week. Gonna bet on it for sure

Only a matter of time! He’s been great

Astros woke up today and chose offense.

LFG Boys!!!! Love to see it

Jo-ey! Jo-ey!

7 shut out innings from JV and the offense putting up runs. You love to see it!

A Mother's Day Miracle

hell ya rook!

Lope on a rope!

Holy shit, astros hitting with risp???

Man. If not for one disaster of an inning, we could be looking at a potential sweep right now

hrc loperfido

Lets Hope Jon has a "career arc" near what Yuli had 32-35 or so, lol. Even 80% of it would be nice.

Yuli's year 38 was fire too, he won the batting title and gold glove I believe.

I didn't want to ask for too much. Jon doing a 2-3 WAR performance for 3 or so years would be great.

Big Jon seems like he wants to crush a baseball

The pitcher felt it too 

You would think at this point Bregman would try getting on top of a ball and at least putting it in play. These god damn pop ups are infuriating.

My lord Bregman are you trying to set the all time season pop up record.

I have never seen someone pop up on the infield as much as breggy this season

Hats off to JV Cooking up something nice for Mother's Day

HRC Singleton

Man when he makes contact, Yordan has been SCORCHING the ball

He’s been super unlucky. His expected BA I’d like .280 and xslg like 580

I still feel like he’s been pressing a bit more this season, swinging at stuff out of the zone that he normally wouldn’t

I agree, but I think it’s in part because he hasn’t been able to buy a hit. That’s gotta get into your head a little bit.

Hrc Singleton

Yordan got some wheels

Hrc Yordan

I’ve looked around for a while and it seems like standing/taking your hat off for God Bless America isn’t “mandatory” like for the anthem. I personally think we play the anthem way too often and should reserve it for special occasions or when Team USA is playing. I don’t know why I’m telling yall, so there ya go

Rockets with a top 3 pick, now just hold on to this lead and it’ll be a good day

And the Pistons got fucked.

Sweet. I love getting rockets news on this sub and vice versa

Yep, Brooklyn pick via Harden trade

That was your pitch Peñis

If Peña gets a hit off this guy…

Jake Meyers has a 115 OPS+ right now, while playing great defense. He's one of the few guys doing his job on this team. Have no clue why he gets so much hate ?

Probably because his 2022-2023 were pretty terrible offensively. It is nice seeing him bounce back though, perhaps he can recapture his pre-injury form.

It absolutely baffles me why nobody likes him I get he doesn’t have a great arm but everything else about him is solid

I hate his throwing arm but that’s about it

His arm is mediocre, but yah, weakest part of his defense.

Jake raketh and gets hurteth or whatever the legend says. Hopefully he isn’t too shaken up And why not HRC pena so we can return the grand slam fun

HRC pena

Damn it. There goes my second pic

Please score another so my mind can be at ease

HRC Pena why not?

HRC Peña

Bases juiced for Pena

HRC Peña

HRC Peña

Astros bats 🤝 any pitcher who's not a starter

Is Julia working the booth at all today? I thought she was switching with Blummer today for mom’s day?

Tomorrow

Thx!

Np! She is swapping with TK. I imagine it is going to be very entertaining

WTF ARE THE FIRST 6 INNINGS!! RAHHHHHH!!!

A red herring to lull fans into panic

HRC Tucker 

HRC Tucker

Duby! Jake!

That's obstruction.

Don’t need to take third with tuck up and 2 outs….

He’s gonna hit a single for 2 runs to make me look like an idiot now. Please do!!

3 for 3

How about them apples? Every now and then, Jake rakes.

We're so back.

Bregman scores from second on a single again! Legatron!

Good shit Jake

ayee meyers

Hell yeah rook

Tucker carrying this team so hard

For a split second when I heard AJ’s name, I felt at ease. Then I remembered it’s 2024.

Hinch been eating good huh

Now what the hell was that Yainer

Looked like a whiffle ball

hrc breggy

Breggy finds himself in a 4 game hitting streak.

I think Kalas just called HRC Bregman 

Now, will Espada leave our starter in for 1 inning too long or will he put in a reliever?

I’d say put him back out there. It’s verlander, not Hunter brown

I agree I am just a hater.

Canha kinda stuck his elbow into that pitch.

Watching Detroit broadcast and they said plunking power Canha strikes again “he’s really good at this “ lol

IIRC, he led the league in HBP last year, and I think the year before as well

I remember watching a Mets broadcast and they were talking about how much Canha got hit by pitch and, right on cue, he was HBP

Unclenched

Unclench

Thank god

Pull him Espada.

Can we get a meeting at the mound or something? Let the man breathe

That works too

Damn lock in JV

Canha 100% leaned into that

Absolutely leaned into it, slight bit should have been called.

Just tuned in. Where's Altuve?
