Tonights catch was incredible but Springer robbing a walk off grand slam in extra innings still takes the cake for me
Best ever catch by Reddick considering the degree of difficulty and game situation we just saw. He saved Osuna's ERA which would of gone over 1.00 ERA. More woooooooooooooooo fans.
For all the struggles Reddick had last year... have to admit he really loves the game. It doesn’t show up in the box score but the passion is there and this is the best I have seen him move since he was in Oakland.
Give an assist to the rain on that catch...due to the rain pouring in on the front few rows of those outfield seats the ushers had moved fans out of those seats, so no risk of fan interference
Man, the Rangers must just hate us so much. Also, that catch is awesome, but I'm going to stick with Reddick. He got absurdly high to pull that thing down. One of the most indisputable HR robs I've ever seen.
This is why our fans fell in love with him his first season here and the As fans loved him as well. I think for most of the casual Astros fans that love for him never wavered even after being so bad in the playoffs in 2017 and then being awful last year...most probably didn't even realize how bad he truly was. However, all of us nerds wouldn't have minded him getting traded during this past off season (I was definitely for it) and a lot of us were really hoping it would happen. That being said, I'm happy he's off to a great start and I always appreciated his effort...I think part of his past struggles is because he's so hard on himself and it doesn't translate to confidence like it does for Bregman. It's clear he's made an effort and has put in some work to adjust to how he's been pitched and positioned. I don't feel like looking up the stats but I know he's had way more opposite field/up the middle hits this year.
I love our announcers. They just sound like two guys that love baseball with every fiber of their being. Every time I watch highlights on MLB.tv and I get to hear the announcers from the other teams, they just sound so uninterested and/or restrained. Kalas and Blummer have an electricity to them even when the other team does something good against the Astros. It's a rare case of the announcers actually enhancing the experience of watching a game in any sport.
Not that it really matters but what the heck was Choo doing there? Nice job helping Osuna keep his ERA down and lowering Pence's BA.
In all seriousness, I wonder if they would take that deal. I'd probably do it on our end...if Pence flames out it doesn't really matter, we can bring up Alvarez like we've all wanted. Pence's resurgence is crazy and cool to see (I wish he wasn't on the Rangers though). .344/.411/.656 slash line entering tonight.
