[Official] Astros @ Athletics

Joe Smith, not the ordinary!

 

Seattle's.

CONSPIRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They had said yesterday that he was likely to only play 6 or 7 innings. I think they wanted to get him 3 ab's. He was getting pulled there anyway.

 

Did Yuli do a Euro-step and layup celebration at the end?

Edit: looks like it's his and Bregman's thing. They did it in the dugout after the 3-run HR. Anybody got a clip?

 

Nice win. I hope we can take advantage of a Paxton-less Seattle.

 

WE'RE GOING BACK TO THE WORLD SERIES AGAIN!!!!

 

Astros Record ....

61-22 when scoring 4+

63-27 when hitting a HR

 

Awesome win. We are in good shape if THAT team comes to play every day.

 

AJ's new closer.

 

Huge win....keep hope alive!

 

Thought for sure they were celebrating Messi's goal. 200 wins ok. Good for Verlander. But get to 300 and we can't start talking. Tim Wakefield and Kenny Rogers have 200 + wins. More work to do.

 

Both pitched till their mid 40's... neither really at an elite level.

 

In a different era where starters had longer leashes and teams didn’t have these “super” bullpens.

 

Nolan Ryan similarly hit 200 wins in his age 35 season. It took him til his age 43 season to get to 300. JV has a long way to go; he'll probably have to pitch to a similar age to hit that number.

 

Manaea hasn't Lost a Day Start in his last 0 opportunities.

Nice job, Stros

Verlander #200

 

Somewhere DEANBCURTIS is shaking his head.

 

Good job Stros but damn, Peacock came in clutch when we needed it.

 

Maldonado is the only catcher in Stros history to go 2B-3B-HR in a game.
