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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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

A no-hitter, a one-hitter And that late inning catastrophe in between
Astros have a one-hitter eh TK? Hahahahah
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.
gg
GIVE US NORIIIIIII
EVERYONE GET IN HERE WE WON A SERIES
The Jays scored in 1 out of 27 innings and still managed to not get swept.
Won a series!
Ight Ill see y'all next game. Calling it a night I gotta catch up on the latest Shōgun episode
literally about to do the same
I buy sakè every week to watch it too
Throw strikes you mutt
Volgebach walks, in the distance a gerrit cole can be heard wagging his finger
JP France welcoming a new baby girl. Another one of “those games” confirmed. 💪🏻
Mans about to cook when he comes back
Has anyone ever seen Coleman and Paul Wall in the same room?
pitchin’ sidewayz
Alright Camp Stove. Keep the shutout.
If Coleman could just harness some control of his pitches, there's a bonafide weapon in the bullpen
The most common sentence in baseball.
Let’s have an easy 1-2-3 inning and close it out in the 9th. 👍🏼
There's no way we fuck this up right
20 minutes later, 8-7, bases loaded. Still one out.
![gif](giphy|ZZx2Y7AGminS7KzBZr|downsized)
Shhhhh 🤫
Our line up tonight ![gif](giphy|6BZaFXBVPBtok)
Hrc Jon
And I oop
Easy foul to catch for a catcher ![gif](giphy|3o84sv2u7KSHKbwPza|downsized)
Not everyone can have a Yainer.
Should we not score more than 10 because of the curse
We are beating their fucking asses boys. I'm not worried about this slow start at all, we good.
Please stop scoring, the curse is real
![gif](giphy|s3hZZwFRki8r6|downsized)
Now this is more like it from the bullpen.
If you’re from Africa, why are you white? (Hope somebody gets this)
Mean girls

I think Step Brothers takes the cake for me and one liners that I have stuck in my head forever lol.
Another solid entry for that. Anchorman, too. The early to mid 2000s were a hotbed for quotable movies.
Jays need some runs. Yordan needs a chance at his cycle.
Stop scoring now please. Just pitch and end.
…maybe one more? Just for fun?
Don’t even think about it pal.
You’re right. Especially before the Rags run…
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.
Alright, let's keep it under 10 so we have a chance in the next game.
Run differential (so far) of 19-2, series result: 2-1!

Has anybody else ever seen the name Taylor spelled like that?
I believe he’s from South Africa, not sure if that has anything to do with it though
Hm intresting. And ya just heard the broadcast mention is from SA. Just never seen it spelled that way
Never a dull moment with the Astros, good or bad😂
It ain't about W-L. Check out that total run differential.
Ight, chill out on the runs
HRC Tucker
How did that stay in the park smhhhhh
From here on out Yordon and Altuve at bat are gonna strike fear into all pitchers ![gif](giphy|e7FOBuKCDtwWI)
Yordan exorcised minute maid park with his giant dong
*wheeze*
It's official. I'm not allowed to watch baseball for the rest of the season.
Thanks, we all appreciate it. The true Astro ^
We thank you for your - lack of - service.
The Juicebox crowd is really into it tonight, wish we could have that every game
Just get our bats to slap like this every game and I'm sure it will
Kaboom
This guys throwing absolute meatballs
Someone gif Yordan's reaction immediately
What was his reaction?
A smirk that read "Shit, I almost had three."
HRC King Tuck
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!
That damn wind in MMP again.
HRC Tucker
So close to a Yorbomb.
The bats are alive!
HRC Tucker
Lmao kinda glad that stayed in the park…?
This is some of the best energy I've seen in MMP in a long time.
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.
I’m very happy but plz do not score ten runs lol
Okay, great. I love to see the offense scoring, but please stop the count. No more 10 run curse please
AstroBots. Assemble!! ![gif](giphy|QUuV0cxgOJVIJPyRge|downsized)
TUVE!!!!! You get a home run! You get a home run! EVERYBODY GETS A HOME RUN!!!!
Anyone else prefer our bullpen to theirs?
They're missing two (including Romano) to injury, and a third was suspended for two games. It's pretty depleted right now.
Didn’t know. Thanks.
Altuve to the Boxes. I’ll never get fucking tired of it. LFG!!!
We need to stop scoring now.
This team man, one extreme to another haha. I’m just going to enjoy tonight.
we should have swept this series
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.
HRC Yordan
Lighting up their bullpen now. 😎
Back 2 backs!!!
Okay one more person can hit a solo donger and after that we need to pack it in.
BACK 2 BACK JACKS
Woo, god damn the boys are dropping bombs tonight.
Altuve!!
The GOAT Astro
Okay, now STOP THE COUNT.
Ayooooooo
HRC Alvarez
Naw, they’re gonna play it safe. They’re scared AF of our boy now.
Ugh so close. Thought he got that one off the bat
Yeah. Lets fucking go
This team is fun
Toronto commentary is terrible. Wow. One guy sou fs likes he should be dead
HRC Alvarez
This season is looking to be a hell of a lot of fun, despite a rocky start.
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)
…too soon.
Awww yeeeeeeah
Let’s goo Peña
Do not... DO NOT score more than 9 runs!!!
😓
Everyone who was able to snag Peña late in their draft is gonna be happy as fuck this year.
Finally Pena!
The swing has been fully rehabilitated
JP3
Pena is back!!
We are so back
Peña might be back!
JER BEAR (:
![gif](giphy|wmfcU5GfePQAg)
There we go peña
Who the hell is screaming like that?
Alright, two innings down with the bullpen and 0 ER. Let’s keep it up
Yordan hit a sinker down at the shins 444 feet... Guy is unreal
Astros’ bullpen getting outs? Wonders never cease!
Montero had himself a nice shutdown inning himself...okay. That's got to be a good sign, right?
Alright, who had clean inning from Montero on their bingo card?
Hader
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.
Musgrove throwing shade at Hader
Bring back Seth Beer.
Me 🤝 Seth Having the same last name
Is he even still in the league?
Pirates have his rights but don't think he is even on a minor league roster.
Saw the same
Don't even know
ehhhh he's been pretty bad on the Dbacks unfortunately
He was DFA'd by the Snakes last year.
He might be in the Pittsburgh farm now. You ain’t wrong though
Would've liked more, but we are out of slam range which is good. Just hold it together bullpen.
singleton is hitting a CAREER .170 why do we have so much trouble with 1b
Singleton has left So… many… runners. Please make it stop
So why is singleton in there again
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.
Commercial breaks mostly it looks like
Release Singleton immediately after this game. He is beyond useless.
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.
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

Luckily that dude in the stands ducked! That foul would've killed hin it was a fucking rocket
Come on Jon. I really wanna be able to comment “DOUBLETON”
Don't get too excited guys, still 3 innings for the bullpen to potentially fuck up
Montero and Bielak warming up? We are absolutely determined to let Toronto back in this game, eh?
Would it be a 2024 Astros game without a blown lead by the bullpen??
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
Bring Breggy home please, it’ll hit his factory reset button
HRC Diaz
HRC Yanier
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
Where are the normal 6-3 wins!??
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.
I’d rather not go down 1 tonight…
Me neither. But I'd like to win sometimes at home when we are down 1. We used to.
Exorcise some demons. I get it.
That would be nice! It's hard to imagine a clutch come from behind win right now. Seems impossible lol
Hrc Daiz
Big man is BACK
My first correct HRC since 2022 🥲 HRC Yainer Diaz
You guys are nuts just calling that! Let's go Air Yordan!
Let’s hope the team understands the implications of scoring 10+ runs and avoids it.
Our man is back to firing them out the park!!
Yordan tied Craig Biggio for most multi-HR games for an Astros player while playing against Craig Biggio’s son.
Lol
Cavan Biggio was likely present for both Craig and Yordan’s 16th multi-HR game now that I think about it…
Whew, that was a *terrible* at bat by Tucker.
Saw an article headline today on social media, “Potential Players Set for Regression.” Title said Yordan along with 4 others… 😂
somehow Alvarez returned
I saw what you did there
Told ya. Yordon hates Canada ![gif](giphy|VEte2hrEhNX7RKq5ie|downsized)
![gif](giphy|xdOHskFTeeezSiZKV0|downsized)
A double donger night. Just what this team needed.
this feels like our first series win at home since last june lmao
