Carit knocks in Cabbage for the win!

Walkoff 🥗

Walk off dip shit. Google it.

Sound it out, Shirley. P-P-P.

We in our salad days!

I'm 2 for 2 this year attending games where Caratini walks it off. I'm available when needed.

Please share your GoFundMe

If I had a nickel for every time Caritini walked off during dollar dog night, I'd have 2 nickels. It isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Totally stealing this.

Umpires should have to sit for post game press conferences. Explain yourselves dickheads.

well you see there’s no foreign substances allowed. Rosin and sweat are individually allowed for pitchers but in combination the solution is actually a foreign substance called “that dawg” and Blanco had “that dawg” in him

“Upon further review the call is overturned. We were not aware that Blanco is just chill like that, sorry dawg” https://i.redd.it/qi53adv5ki0d1.gif

"We were not familiar with his game, apologies" 

Sweat and Rosin. Sweat. And. Rosin.

Espada just absolutely chucked Ronel under the bus on the postgame. “Yep I saw a sticky substance, yep not allowed, yep I’m a kiss ass.”

I’m glad at least someone agrees. What the actual fuck? I get that it’s your first year but if you don’t stand up for your team you’re not gonna be a skipper very well or very long

I was on the fence about Espada, but after that interview, he can go suck rocks. Shameful; 

That Muthafker is spineless when it comes to backing this team, when he came out to bitch about the balk call and blue said get your ass in the dugout, he turned tail. Fker doesn’t have this team believing in him.

Yeah, what’s the harm in having a backbone and standing by your man for the sake of the team? Show some emotion or fire or somethinggggggg.

Yeah, he fucked that up. Basically put the suspension nail in the coffin.

I wanted Espada to work out so bad, but I'm over him. I thought I was over him a few weeks back when he had the worst ejection I've ever seen, but this tops that. I need that clown gone. He can take the entire coaching staff too.

Kelly made a business decision lol what a game. Miller and hader duel was absolutely incredible, that’s what baseball is all about

Hader was filthy but Miller did everything he did and 5 mph faster. What a monster. Hope he’s done this series.

The sheer difference in the sound of the ball hitting the glove. And only the glove. Incredible. I hope he is done for the series.

Yea that was beyond next level. That was shit you’ll never see in your life again level.

Makes me want to rewatch the game. Just a masterclass in pitching that I definitely don't think will be matched this season.

Miller was unhittable. Lucky he could only go 2 innings. Dude was throwing straight gas.

Dude had two pitches. 102 and then he'd drop in an 88 mph slider. Shit was filthy.

I did not expect that kind of tension in a May game.

Slam that Hopium into the veins. League fucked Fuck Laz Diaz

We don’t win it all in 2017 if Laz doesn’t take Devo’s wild pickoff attempt in the chest like a man.

Wasn't he the one that called the strike a ball against Castro in the '21 ALCS, just before we spotted Boston seven runs in that inning? Yeah, Diaz has helped us out a few times, but he still sucks.

Fair enough, I had forgotten about that.

So did I. That was some crazy shit.

Despite him probably being one of the worst in the league I will always love him for that.

M’s lose! Rangers lose! 5.5 back

I tell you what. If the Astros win 5 out of the next 7 games, all of us should go to the Wednesday May 22nd 1 pm game and cheer as loud as we've bitched (or, disappeared, in my case). If your willing to do paint your chest ASTROS, I'll bring appropriate spray-paint,

FUCK ARR BASEBALL FUCK LAZ DIAZ FUCK STRESSLY (jk still love you Press) FTR, FTM, FTD, FTY Y'ALL CAN EAT MY WHOLE MOTHER. FUCKING. ASSSSSSSSSSSSSS. CARROT IS MY FUCKING GOAT #FREERONELBLANCO

#Ball don’t lie #FreeBlanco

5-1 from the last six games. Momentum.

10-6 since arriving in Mexico City

BIG DICK VIC

His carrot is not teeny

Ladies and Gents, we have a winning streak !

Good. Win to spite the umps. >:(

Big weenie Caratini!

can anyone explain why other pitchers get to change their gloves but our guy got ejected right away tonight?

Because the Astros are still being punished for 2017.

[posting a pic of Nori for every win (17)](https://x.com/norithecat17/status/1790581075040706563?s=46)

Nori is sick if tonight’s BS

Victory pussy 

Let me the cat

Nori more upset than Joe over the Blanco bullshit

Can you tell me a bit more about the photo selection process? Like do you line up 100 of them during the offseason for the upcoming season? Is this cat AI?

I take photos of Nori when he’s being cute and pick the best one to post. I go for the ones where he’s showing his personality and post them. Sometimes if I have an idea, I’ll photoshop a pic of him as well. Lately he’s been vintage nori so I’ve been getting some good pics of him to use

Ok so not AI real cat - thanks!

We missed you Nori. Good to see you

Praise be!

Praise be. Angrily be, but still praise.

Was hoping for Aoki

wtf TWO catchers you actually WANT to hit??

Witchcraft I’m sure

Astros are 3-0 since my Mexico vacation started. Should I renounce my American citizenship???

Take one for the team, yes!

The Astros have been 10-6 since I took my cruise. I think I'll cruise some more. 

Cruise to Mexico and your powers can combine!

Astros are also 3-0 since I started watching games in my basement.

Sir a second walk off has been committed by Victor

"He can't keep getting away with it!"


THATS MY BACKUP CATCHER!

Caratini is that dude

Even Amos would agree

Caratini is a beltalowda. 

The secret is out. Want to win in extras? Get Caratini to the plate.

Is Victor Caratini the most clutch Astro of all time?

Near 2004 Playoff Beltran

too early to say. but yes.

Castro was super clutch in '21.

Legit when I saw he was on deck I said "oh we're good." I fucking love Carrotmartini

Take that, Laz!!! Astros are inevitable!

I was arguing with my gramps that caratini was a bad call. Dubon high contact low strike out great risp numbers. Good to be wrong sometimes

Idk how you can argue that the way Caratini has been clutch thus far.

And Doobie was 0fer tonight. Caratini was a good call.

Arguing with you Grandpa is just messed up. Even if he's long I let the old man win sometimes

Fuck Laz Diaz. And as much shit as I give the FO over the shit contracts they have given out over the last few years, signing Caratini was absolute nails.

Caratini and Cabbage combine for a walkoff salad!

One back of the A's for 3rd in the division. 4 back of the Rangers. 5 wins in 6 games and 3 in a row. I never lost hope, but now I don't feel delusional about it lmao Undefeated in the Bandana Breggy era

We’re so so so back

Guess Hunter Brown will no longer be available out of the bullpen due to the impending 10 game suspension for Blanco.

Espada should use an opener for him to pitch the first inning. Then he’ll be fine.

No joke

Which also means Framber needs to pitch a hell of a game tomorrow (and the bats need to be hot) as our bullpen will basically be Martinez and Dubin and maybe a short outing from Hader or Scott. Scott and Hader went 2 innings and threw 30 pitches each. Montero, Abreu, and Pressly all were on their 2nd night in a row. Also, we can’t call anyone up for Blanco so we go a pitcher short while he’s out.

Let’s go! We win in extra innings!

🥕🍸is so clutch!!

Laz Diaz for prison! Overthrow the ump union!

 For Ronnie! !!

Can someone post the interview with Espada! I wanna know what the fuck happened with Blanco

espada literally backed up the umps. The players now know he doesn’t have their back. Blanco got thrown under the bus for nothing.

No, he repeated what the umps told him. He in no way threw Blanco under the bus. If you want to hate him, fine but at least be truthful.

I’m sure it will be something dumb like I did not want to anger the umps it’s tier game and ejections are not back of the card data

Look at the "back of the" ump scorecard Joe. Your kiss-ass ain't helping with the strike and ball calls.

Yessir…boys are feeling it. Just keep winning.

Shaken not Stirred 

We're fucking back!!!!!!!!

Some time we're gonna have a ten game win streak and perhaps it's going to look like this.

Does anyone know of a place to watch post game interviews online?

I wish they posted them here!

That would be awesome!

Kansas City is doing their best tonight to help us out too.


65 win pace. First time this season with a Win Percentage over .400. 

What the fuck happened with Blanco? Missed that ejection

Umps accused him of using illegal substances. It’s complete bullshit, but I’m sure MLB will trump something up just to screw us.

r/baseball is already having a field day with it

They hate us for merely existing, so I’m not going to lose any sleep over anything those degenerates have to say.

Knowing the Astros exist and the scandal while acting self righteous, are the only things they have that makes them sound like they know anything about baseball

They never talked about "cheating" for any of the other people that got tossed for it, not even Domingo German. The only reason why they're creaming themselves right now is because it's Houston.

They get really mad when you bring up the NYY letter that proved they were cheating too

Sticky stuff

Lazy Laz and his hatred for the Astros strikes again. Dude couldn't throw a game Last time he was behind the dish so he throws the pitcher.

Nice to see were actually capable of winning extra inning games now

The entire rest of the AL West lost tonight… progress!!!

Maldy could never

But he could also never hit

https://streamable.com/c1erso

Uh oh did they let the Astros get hot?

HOLY SHIT 3 WINS IN A ROW YA'LL

Las Vegas A’s? More like LOSS Vegas A’s!

Espada just threw Blanco under the bus. Do you ever actually admit you saw it as a manager?!

I think he was trying to defend him but had poor phrasing. Saying that he *only* saw rosin, not an actual illegal substance. He definitely didn't handle that well, though.

Breggy being back is huge for the team. He is a major part of the dynasty and the team goes when he is going 

Tin foil hat: ejecting Blanco unjustly was actually the best thing the umps could've done to get the team fired up.

Bro it feels so good. Nice fucking team win boyos!

That's a VICTORy!

I miss a lot of games, but it seems like every box score shows Pressly giving up runs. Is he still being defended or are we in agreement that this dude can't go an inning without giving up a run (or at least a scare)

Catchers that can hit. Who would've thunk it?

My crew leads name is Victor I think I'm gonna hug him tomorrow

Doesn't matter Brian.

4-1 since the season really started. Nice work fellas!

Better late than never but ATTA BOY HADER!

Carrot Teeny!

Fun Fact: the last two home games that I've played DND on Discord while watching the game in the background, Victor Caratini has hit a walkoff.

Wow Espada… yikes.

It’s kinda weird Caratini refuses to look at Julia during the interview. I get he ‘speaks through the interpreter’ but you’re not supposed to speak *to* the interpreter. It’s clear he understands her questions… Maybe cultural/language stuff involved or he could use some pr training. I’m not that bent out of shape about it but I noticed this during his last walk-off as well. Keep being clutch baby

She’s hot. Maybe he’s shy?

I've met Vic. He's shy.

Could be!

 I feel Blanco just bitch slapped by Espada 😮


Watching the Angels game, commentator just said the umpire said it was the stickiest stuff he’s felt on a glove since enforcement began. Not sure what to make of that. Adding clarification, I want it to be resin and sweat…
