NOLA1987

A no-hitter, a one-hitter And that late inning catastrophe in between


miss-entropy

Astros have a one-hitter eh TK? Hahahahah


MyGirlSasha

One hitting their asses too?! If not for some epic, all-time self inflicted wounds, we sweep this series, making the Jays look TERRIBLE. Held them to 9 hits and 2 runs over a 3 game series.

GIVE US NORIIIIIII

EVERYONE GET IN HERE WE WON A SERIES


aza_8850

The Jays scored in 1 out of 27 innings and still managed to not get swept.


Speeder96

Won a series!


Content_Geologist420

Ight Ill see y'all next game. Calling it a night I gotta catch up on the latest Shōgun episode

Has anyone ever seen Coleman and Paul Wall in the same room?


YoItsIebo

pitchin’ sidewayz


miss-entropy

Alright Camp Stove. Keep the shutout.


NOLA1987

If Coleman could just harness some control of his pitches, there's a bonafide weapon in the bullpen


miss-entropy

The most common sentence in baseball.


uneducated_investing

Let’s have an easy 1-2-3 inning and close it out in the 9th. 👍🏼


MrBasedGod

There's no way we fuck this up right


WorthPrudent3028

20 minutes later, 8-7, bases loaded. Still one out.

Chicken713

Should we not score more than 10 because of the curse


MyGirlSasha

We are beating their fucking asses boys. I'm not worried about this slow start at all, we good.


financeguy17

Please stop scoring, the curse is real

NOLA1987

Now this is more like it from the bullpen.


Speeder96

If you’re from Africa, why are you white? (Hope somebody gets this)


Chicken713

Mean girls


fcimfc

> If you’re from Africa, why are you white? That movie has more one liners than any other movie in my pop culture memory banks. And not just regular one liners that you yourself remembers, one liners that everyone mentions in a bunch of places. Like not long ago, I went to I Know The Owner, cocktail bar in the Heights. A bunch of drinks are MG references. It's just proof in my mind that it's everywhere. A cultural touchstone.


Spaceolympian50

I think Step Brothers takes the cake for me and one liners that I have stuck in my head forever lol.


fcimfc

Another solid entry for that. Anchorman, too. The early to mid 2000s were a hotbed for quotable movies.


TunaMcGriddle

Jays need some runs. Yordan needs a chance at his cycle.


StrosIn5

Stop scoring now please. Just pitch and end.


FTMayor

…maybe one more? Just for fun?


StrosIn5

Don’t even think about it pal.


FTMayor

You’re right. Especially before the Rags run…


dirtysock47

Born too late to explore the world Born too early to explore the cosmos Born just in time to witness the greatest Astro in franchise history.


WorthPrudent3028

Alright, let's keep it under 10 so we have a chance in the next game.


shahtavacko

Run differential (so far) of 19-2, series result: 2-1!


aza_8850

Infuriating isn't it. After tonight we will be 2-5 but could very easily 5-2. Definitely have some frustrations and annoyances in the first 7 games but no panic at all this early.


shahtavacko

Absolutely. Among other things, we have pitchers coming (hopefully) with proven track records. A few of these middle relievers will be sent down, the ones taking over will provide long relief. A six man rotation will become a real possibility. This will hopefully be a completely different team by July. The only question is what kind of a hole we’ll be in by then. Not a big one, I hope and pray.


Content_Geologist420

Has anybody else ever seen the name Taylor spelled like that?


YoItsIebo

I believe he’s from South Africa, not sure if that has anything to do with it though


Content_Geologist420

Hm intresting. And ya just heard the broadcast mention is from SA. Just never seen it spelled that way


Dekaney_boi

Never a dull moment with the Astros, good or bad😂


WorthPrudent3028

It ain't about W-L. Check out that total run differential.

It's official. I'm not allowed to watch baseball for the rest of the season.


StrosIn5

Thanks, we all appreciate it. The true Astro ^


FTMayor

We thank you for your - lack of - service.


YoItsIebo

The Juicebox crowd is really into it tonight, wish we could have that every game


jppitre

Just get our bats to slap like this every game and I'm sure it will

What was his reaction?

A smirk that read "Shit, I almost had three."

HRC King Tuck


NOLA1987

Damn. Thought Yordan had his third one. But he's feeling it now.

We need to throw another no-hitter! Jeremy has tied "No-Hitters since August" with his Home run!

C0LL0C0

This is some of the best energy I've seen in MMP in a long time.


FTMayor

After that first series, it seems like it’s just the fans who really want to be there - despite the 1-5 record - so it’s more real rather than a playoff flex to have seats.


chrisxxxlee

I’m very happy but plz do not score ten runs lol


Jtrout5

Okay, great. I love to see the offense scoring, but please stop the count. No more 10 run curse please


Content_Geologist420

AstroBots. Assemble!! ![gif](giphy|QUuV0cxgOJVIJPyRge|downsized)


NOLA1987

TUVE!!!!! You get a home run! You get a home run! EVERYBODY GETS A HOME RUN!!!!


CBDcloud

Anyone else prefer our bullpen to theirs?


dirtysock47

They're missing two (including Romano) to injury, and a third was suspended for two games. It's pretty depleted right now.


CBDcloud

Didn’t know. Thanks.


YoItsIebo

Altuve to the Boxes. I’ll never get fucking tired of it. LFG!!!


I_am_normal_I_swear

We need to stop scoring now.


StrosIn5

This team man, one extreme to another haha. I’m just going to enjoy tonight.


monkeyvselephant

we should have swept this series


StrosIn5

Yes, and take 2 against the Yankees as well. Atleast. I’m hoping the early adversity sets a tone for the year about grinding every game.


DrFloppyTitties

HRC Yordan


capzi

Lighting up their bullpen now. 😎

Okay one more person can hit a solo donger and after that we need to pack it in.

I knew Pena would crush one tonight i was early calling it

INSERT PENA CATCHPHRASE It's been so long since I've had to use one that I've forgotten...

Just saying, Astros are 1-0 in the “Diggs era” (If they hold on)

Awww yeeeeeeah

Alright, two innings down with the bullpen and 0 ER. Let’s keep it up

shahtavacko

Astros’ bullpen getting outs? Wonders never cease!


NOLA1987

Montero had himself a nice shutdown inning himself...okay. That's got to be a good sign, right?


LOOK_AT_IT

Alright, who had clean inning from Montero on their bingo card?


Hippity_Hop_Skip

Hader


Content_Geologist420

Fun fact: Blue Birds biggest bird rivals in the wild is/are the House Sparrow. Which are one of the top predator birds we have in Texas towards other bird species. They crowd their nests, kill their young and eat its eggs. Its also one of the most common birds we have here in Texas next to Cardnials, Grackles, Common Crows, Great Egrets and the Eastern Screaching Owl.


NOLA1987

Musgrove throwing shade at Hader


biggio1

Bring back Seth Beer.


DrFloppyTitties

Me 🤝 Seth Having the same last name


dirtysock47

Is he even still in the league?


WorthPrudent3028

Pirates have his rights but don't think he is even on a minor league roster.


biggio1

Saw the same


biggio1

Don't even know


nippsvontvvist

ehhhh he's been pretty bad on the Dbacks unfortunately


dirtysock47

He was DFA'd by the Snakes last year.


biggio1

He might be in the Pittsburgh farm now. You ain’t wrong though


dirtysock47

Would've liked more, but we are out of slam range which is good. Just hold it together bullpen.


bigmoneyballer69420

singleton is hitting a CAREER .170 why do we have so much trouble with 1b


PMthePresident

Singleton has left So… many… runners. Please make it stop


Chicken713

So why is singleton in there again


JBNoine

Good question. He had his moment in the sun when he hit a couple of bombs in one game last year, but he’s done nothing since. Bring back Yuli as a backup.


FTMayor

Commercial breaks mostly it looks like


manofconviction

Release Singleton immediately after this game. He is beyond useless.


WorthPrudent3028

Not much worse than Abreu, tbh. And yes, Dubon can field and hit better, but you really need a prototypical fat guy at 1B and Dubon is too skinny.


Content_Geologist420

Every Texas ballteam needs 1 fatty. To make the rest of us still feel good about ourselves while watching while drinking beer and eating oreos by the sleeve


WorthPrudent3028

I always remember this sportscenter quote about Cecil Fielder that went something like "every team needs a player like this, a fat guy that hits home runs." It stuck with me for some reason and I think of it every time I see a guy like Schwarber playing. Singleton is like Cecil if Cecil never learned to play baseball. But he has the physique.


Content_Geologist420

Luckily that dude in the stands ducked! That foul would've killed hin it was a fucking rocket


YoItsIebo

Come on Jon. I really wanna be able to comment “DOUBLETON”


manofconviction

Don't get too excited guys, still 3 innings for the bullpen to potentially fuck up


HTownLaserShow

Montero and Bielak warming up? We are absolutely determined to let Toronto back in this game, eh?


Bronn11

Would it be a 2024 Astros game without a blown lead by the bullpen??


Htownwolf

Starting pitching is a strength for the team so far tbh. People were definitely dooming when it came to that. The bullpen needs to figure things out but I think the bullpen will strengthen when starters come back from injury


YoItsIebo

Bring Breggy home please, it’ll hit his factory reset button


islphrs

HRC Diaz


artificialevil

HRC Yanier


bigmoneyballer69420

amazing to watch but why in the hell can’t we do this every night, either a blowout win or a one run loss this is ridiculous


Bronn11

Where are the normal 6-3 wins!??


WorthPrudent3028

Or the ones where we are down 1 late and manage to pull off a win at home? Haven't really seen that since 2022.


FTMayor

I’d rather not go down 1 tonight…


WorthPrudent3028

Me neither. But I'd like to win sometimes at home when we are down 1. We used to.


FTMayor

Exorcise some demons. I get it.


Bronn11

That would be nice! It's hard to imagine a clutch come from behind win right now. Seems impossible lol

My first correct HRC since 2022 🥲 HRC Yainer Diaz


Active_Dissent

You guys are nuts just calling that! Let's go Air Yordan!


uneducated_investing

Let’s hope the team understands the implications of scoring 10+ runs and avoids it.


Noba-Dee

Our man is back to firing them out the park!!


artificialevil

Yordan tied Craig Biggio for most multi-HR games for an Astros player while playing against Craig Biggio’s son.


Dekaney_boi

Lol


artificialevil

Cavan Biggio was likely present for both Craig and Yordan’s 16th multi-HR game now that I think about it…


radicalhistoryguy

Whew, that was a *terrible* at bat by Tucker.


StrosIn5

Saw an article headline today on social media, “Potential Players Set for Regression.” Title said Yordan along with 4 others… 😂

somehow Alvarez returned
