[Official] Astros Vs. Rays ALDS

I tried to warn all of you who WANTED Tampa rather than Oakland. Our top 3 SPs dominated Oakland in the regular season and we hit against them pretty well.

 

Look... this is a wake up call for this team that the league isn’t just handing out the Trophy to the pre-ordained Greatest team ever Houston Astros.

Series isn’t over... this game isn’t over...
We have Cole for game 5 at Home!

we will wake up and be the team we are supposed to be.

...that is what 4 Crawford bock beers have said to me.

 

Urquidy, I like this kid, the movement on his change up.

 

Not all the Rays relievers are on. Our bats are in "full throttle choke" mode.

It'd be statistically close to impossible for 10 Rays pitchers (or however many we've faced this series so far) to be on top of their game.

You still have to be playing well to hit mistakes off pitchers who aren't perfect. We haven't been and aren't.

 

it's not a choke job until they actually lose this series which I highly doubt will happen

 

Getting thoroughly outplayed

 

The Astros have to actually win this series but the series against the Yankees wouldn’t really be all that screwed up.

Greinke would go game 1.... Verlander game 2 and Cole game 3...Urquidy game 4.... Greinke 5.... Verlander 6 and Cole 7.

 

You sure about that? Where are the bats? All these GREAT hitters......? Where is Bregman, Brantley, Springer, Correa?

 

...you know you have no power over the games right?

 

Have you ever stated the Texans choked.

Nah, you probably downplayed every f-up.

 

Both the Rays and Athletics were going to be difficult matchups for different reasons.

Only easy matchup would have been the Indians...

 

I'm honestly more scared of Tampa for game 5 than the Yankees in a 7 game series.

Sure, Yankees are talented as hell but their bullpen isn't as scary plus just the confidence of beating them in a playoff series before.

 

You guys do know the score is 4-0 and its the 5th inning right. All of you guys already thinking about the next game are a bunch of fake fans. Jesus

 

The Texans are never in a position to choke. Have they ever been favored in a playoff game in their history?

 

Yes, but I agree with your sentiment.

 

A few times against Marvin Lewis Bengals lol.

 

Ya and they took care of business. They just never can beat the Pats.

 

Hold em here or they blow the game open...whatcha got?

 

They won 96 games playing the Yankees and Red Sox. They aren’t a “gimme” for anyone.

The Dodgers fans felt the Nationals were a gimme series too.

Baseball has parity.

 

Man , we gotta hope urquidy can hold them at 4 for a while.

We need the offense to come alive a bit here. Georgie .... cmon man stop swinging for the fences and use your natural power to get doubles, and probably homers anyways since you have that much.
