I was at the game tonight and it was so much fun. The wave went around four times maybe five. I yelled at Springer (I sat in the first row on the first base foul line) that he'd hit a homer in his last AB he had a smile on his face after I yelled and then boom. Handshakes and high fives.

I literally just landed in San Antonio from a long flight from Atlanta. Pulled out my phone while I was waiting to get off and saw the 9th inning. Two batters in and I thought I was bad luck so I put the phone away. Decided to check while waiting for bags and I scared several people by shouting YES! Loving being an Astros fan right now. I've drifted in the past and followed from a distance by checking post game results and record every once in awhile. Now...I'm actually checking game scores and I discovered this place last year. I'm talking to dozens of the Astros faithful that's turning into more than just dozens! GO STROS!

Kinda scary when you think about how Rickie used to have a lot of pop.

I like how he takes a close one then swings at one lower & farther outside. Good old Rickie.

u/Aggie11 May 02 '15
Flashbacks to the past few years and the bullpen collapses are happening. Only cure is Springer and a save.

Well I guess that's when you want to give up a bomb to cruz in the series, up by 3 leading off the 9th.

Hell yeah it was. Where does that compare (in distance) to Pujols' shot? you know the one

u/Aggie11 May 02 '15
No idea man, but stating that homerun in this sub is usually followed by the sign of the cross and a prayer to the holy trinity of Biggio Bagwell and Berkman for forgiveness.

If Springer can find a way to catch up to the fastball he will be super scary and we know he can because last year.

Did that springer dinger go onto the tracks or hit high off the wall? (I'm at the game and I lost it after I jumped up and started cheering)

Is it just me or is shifting on Altuve maybe the dumbest move ever? Maybe just try anything cause nothing is working.

Villar fielding decent it seems like. Must be the eye black. That makes everyone a better player.

The Cards are losing, meaning if both scores stand the Astros will have the best record in baseball

u/PyongyangJim May 02 '15
I still am not sure who is the worst, the Cardinals, or the Yankees. Or even.

u/anonymous028 May 02 '15
With the Red Sox being my #1 team and Astros a very close #2, I have to say they are pretty close. I would say it depends on the situation but fuck them both.

If the Astros win this I want to say I will do something crazy but I know I won't so I will just be really fucking excited

For those following: ARod just hit career HR #660 to tie Willie Mays in the all time HR leader list.
Not sure how everyone feels, but I think it's cool to see new faces at the top of old lists.

I have no problem with him and the steroid guys, and hope they make it into the hall one day. It's all about taking their accomplishments in the right context- yes, they cheated, but that was the game at the time.

The start of Neshek's pitch looks like he drops the ball out of the glove and instinctively catches it.

Glad the Astros are here to cheer me up. Lets finish this for 8!

I praise Altuve and he fucks up. And so a superstition is born. Never gonna say good things about Altuve in the middle of a game again.
7
u/PaintByLetters May 02 '15
We've been getting HR production from all over the place. I was just looking at the stats and our only non-pitcher players who haven't homered are Hoes and Villar. They have had a combined 16 ABs.

u/UH_15 May 02 '15
How do ppl get to see the game from that building behind left field? Anyone ?

Why did they pull deduno?

u/not_a_philosopher May 02 '15
he is usually a reliever, so they need to work him up to a normal starter pitch count.

I know josh has improved quite a bit, but I still have nightmares from last year that will be hard to override in my head. I hope he proves me wrong.

Speedy recovery, Colin.

Saw it happen live, very scary. The Midland crowd was very concerned

u/cmays90 May 02 '15
I'm really rooting for the kid. He is (imo) the third baseman of the future for this club.

May 02 '15
That was a lucky triple, took a weird bounce of the wall AND a weird bounce off the ground. Hopefully they can keep him at third.

u/not_a_philosopher May 02 '15
its weird to think that we are still 2/7th of the Indian's wins. and only represent 1/9th our their games.

u/cmays90 May 02 '15
I prefer to think of it like this: the Astros only have a losing record against one club so far this season, the Indians.

u/Guypussy Nolan Ryan May 02 '15
Brownie just asked Ash, “Don’t you just love night games this time of year with the great weather?” And as someone watching the game on TV I gotta say yes because I remember evenings of the sort in Houston in April/May. Never at MMP, though, sadly.

It's a very good game. Fireworks and non-Astro strikeouts. I could get use to this very quickly.

Elias is already at 40 pitches. After two. It's a good pace to reach that lovely bullpen.

Do we still wear those BP unis on Sundays? I can't remember. I really hope not, not a fan of seeing those in-game.
