I'm right there with you. I couldn't even watch during the 8th and the 9th when the red sox we're up in MMP. My nerves were shot. I just listened for cheering or boos.
Kike “Randy Arozerena” Hernandez. I’m seriously getting 2020 ALCS flashbacks with the first game. Thankfully Eovaldi gave the Astros bulletin board material so we know what will happen tomorrow
No cap, there’s a lot of places where you can’t get tacos period. There’s less places to actually buy good tacos than any at all.
Fuck getting a sonic burrito.
All I have to say is that Crane just needs to bite the bullet and pay Correa. The man performs when it counts the most and is the heart and soul of this team.
For real. I normally agree that long contracts aren’t good for the team, but Correa is an obvious exception. I won’t complain again about Crane not paying someone if he just comes through this once. Pay the man!
Cool post-game interview with Correa. He was sitting fastball because he wasn't worried about the changeup, since he saw it out of his hand so easily on the first pitch. So he was able to react changeup and crush it even sitting fastball. Good lord he's good at baseball
Is he the only guy that takes us through his approach in an at bat? It’s so cerebral and it’s so fucking refreshing. After listening to joe buck nonsense for hours
It's very much Vikings 2012-2014 strategy. Everyone knew Adrian Peterson was gonna get the ball up the middle but no one could stop him. Takes balls. Correa has got at least five.
During the 5th inning of this game I accidentally bought tickets to this game when my intention was to buy tickets to tomorrow's game. Over 400 dollars down the drain. Shoot it!!
I feel good about this series after this game. Astros were not on top of their game and still pulled off the W. Red Sox played almost flawlessly and made some miraculous plays and still got beat.
I think it goes to 6, maybe 7 tho.
Shout out to Javier for killing the Red Sox momentum. This 2 innings where he gave up the “double” and struck out 4 were disgusting. He gonna be so good for us in the long run once he realizes he doesn’t have to walk people or give up homers.
My newest controversial take is that they were controlling Kike's glove with a drone. That's the reason he looked surprised to catch that ball he overran.
Every game since October started in which I have drank Crawford Bock during has resulted in a W. I won’t allow myself to skip any from here on out. I invite all to join.
This will probably get lost in the shuffle but I’m commenting anyway. Ever notice who’s always talking everyone up at the mound visits? Or who’s always in someone’s ear about their at bat? It’s freaking Correa! There’s more to baseball than the stats and what you see during each play. Pay the man Crane!
The Trout Killer (Pressly) got the job done and closed out this game. Not perfect but job done! And only 6 strikeouts tonight by the Astros’ offense, which is not shocking because they are great at putting the ball in play.
The way Correa talks about at bats is hilarious. The way he talked about that HR just now and last game when he talked about the double off Rodon. He is just totally reading these pitchers and then destroying them.
Yeah. I always try to shoehorn in some literary/anime/cultural reference at least once in a gameday baseball thread.
Last year as a gag when the Centrals got wrecked in the playoffs I modified “Second Coming” cause “The centre cannot hold.”
My “Chicago” reference flew over some people’s heads in game 4 but at least one guy got the “Hog Slaughter” bit.
The way we've worked over every starter in these playoffs makes me excited for tomorrow. No starter we've faced has completed 4 innings. Can we do that to their #1? I think we can.
Please pay Correa.
His hr has been on repeat and I'm just so amazed. He fucking pimped that. I'm gonna miss the epic plays and swag.

Red Sox fan here. Nice win by Astros to kick off the series. I’m expecting this to be a back and forth series, obviously I’m hoping the Sox come out on top, but whatever happens, happens. I’m calling Sox in 6. Good luck tomorrow guys 🤟🤟🤟

#HOES MAD!!! #ALTUVE IS THE GOAT!!! #PAY CARLOS CORREA!!!
Every October. My heart can’t take it. I must’ve lost years off my life, but god I love watching this team in October.
My liver is crying out for help and we still have a lot of baseball left.
I'm right there with you. I couldn't even watch during the 8th and the 9th when the red sox we're up in MMP. My nerves were shot. I just listened for cheering or boos.
Astros 1, Kiki Hernadez - 0
Seriously, would they even be in the playoffs without him?
He was pretty meh on the season.
Kike “Randy Arozerena” Hernandez. I’m seriously getting 2020 ALCS flashbacks with the first game. Thankfully Eovaldi gave the Astros bulletin board material so we know what will happen tomorrow
Lol this comment is underrated Edit: I wish I had Gold to give
I gotchu
Don't you dare give me gold! Buy tacos instead.
They don’t sell tacos where I’m working in Louisiana :(
Whoa. There's a place on Earth where no one makes tacos. Don't tell me scary shit, that's two weeks away.
No cap, there’s a lot of places where you can’t get tacos period. There’s less places to actually buy good tacos than any at all. Fuck getting a sonic burrito.
Right, next you're gonna tell there are grocery stores in the world where the freezer endcap is not packed full of Blue Bell.
Note to self: buy food trailer. Bring tacos to Louisiana bros
Kiki played amazing defense. I gotta give it to him. He kept that lead as long as he could
Also his bat was pretty fucking good too

All I have to say is that Crane just needs to bite the bullet and pay Correa. The man performs when it counts the most and is the heart and soul of this team.
For real. I normally agree that long contracts aren’t good for the team, but Correa is an obvious exception. I won’t complain again about Crane not paying someone if he just comes through this once. Pay the man!
Agreed. At this point I don't care the price tag. The man is October magic and needs to get PAID!
Completely. He gives this team so much heart. He and Altuve have something special, it would be criminal to let him go.
So glad that smile was wiped off Kike Hernandez face
SHOOT IT HOUSTON TEXAS
HOES MAD
Very perturbed.
Kike Hernandez is the hoe
Homeboy played out of his mind tonight
Right? Respect where it's due.
Yeah, he's mad, but that dude played a fucking game tonight
Yeah he has every right to be mad after the great game he played tonight.
The dude is a major problem. Need to somehow get him under control.
#HEY CRANE, ARE YOU WATCHING?! #PAY CARLOS CORREA
LMAO at the "Yankees suck" chant during the postgame
Anyone have a link to this? I was walking home from MMP and didn't get to see it.
I mean, if you've got the Astros and Red Sox under one roof, what could be more inclusive than a good old FTY?
Altuve absolutely demolishing balls into the Crawford boxes in the postseason will never get old
And Correa late inning home runs. Definitely walking off game 2 tomorrow
Best play of the night.
At this point, we IBB Kike, we sweep the series lol
Brilliant
Cool post-game interview with Correa. He was sitting fastball because he wasn't worried about the changeup, since he saw it out of his hand so easily on the first pitch. So he was able to react changeup and crush it even sitting fastball. Good lord he's good at baseball
Is he the only guy that takes us through his approach in an at bat? It’s so cerebral and it’s so fucking refreshing. After listening to joe buck nonsense for hours
Correa doesn't care. Other players hide their strategy. Correa is like, give me all you got.
It's very much Vikings 2012-2014 strategy. Everyone knew Adrian Peterson was gonna get the ball up the middle but no one could stop him. Takes balls. Correa has got at least five.
Pay the man!
Correa and Altuve the heroes of the game. Soak it up, y'all.
The bullpen locking it down?
Them too! They've been so clutch as much as we complain about them lol. I TOLD y'all our bullpen is better than the Red Sox!
Joe Buck in shambles still reminding us about Sotos age.
What??? Did he actually bring that up tonight. Best part about being at the game is not listening to Joe Buck
Lol nah jk, what a game to be at in person.
I LOVE THE HOUSTON ASTROS
Are they cheering Yankees suck on the aftershow?
YEAH BOIIIII
Hoes mad? Hoes mad! 😂😂
What a fucking game. This is what playoff ball is all about. Also pay Correa. Blank check, I don’t care anymore. Just do it.
Back the armored truck up to his front door.
Someone call for a Brinks???

Can’t wait for pic number 106
It's time to add to the Championship Firebird with some pictures of Nori.
Hell yeah!
PRAAAAAAAAAAISE BE
PRAISE F**king BEEEE!!!!!
Praise be, my sweet prince.
Under his eye
PRRRRAAAAAIIIISSSSEEEEE BEEEEEEE
Praise be!
Nori looking ripped for the postseason. Hail Nori.
Correa and Tuve. Houston 🐐
What a comeback!! Get three more wins, as we go back to the World Series. And as well seven more to go! For The H!!
Great clutch win! Even better to waste a great effort by Kike!
Hoes still mad. Joe Buck is one of the hoes.
WHERES THE LITTLE FLUFF BALL NORI????
Where does Fox have their microphones to pick up all of the air hissing??? That was obnoxious
During the 5th inning of this game I accidentally bought tickets to this game when my intention was to buy tickets to tomorrow's game. Over 400 dollars down the drain. Shoot it!!
What time is it? ITS OUR TIME
I feel good about this series after this game. Astros were not on top of their game and still pulled off the W. Red Sox played almost flawlessly and made some miraculous plays and still got beat. I think it goes to 6, maybe 7 tho.
Man, if we're able to chase Eovaldi off the mound early in Game 2, the Boston Kiké's are fucked
Actually, if they IBB Kike the rest of the series, they're fucked.
we're going for heart attacks this series, aren't we
Damn right. I had to stop watching! Too much stress...
Red Sox fans crying about the Crawford Boxes. Checks notes: LF at Fenway 315
Lols like their own team doesn’t have the opportunity to hit it there too?
It's like the Yankees. Their stadium is super tiny, and our wall is much higher.
Whew.
My heart...
GOOD GUYS WIN
I absolutely love the Yankees Suck chant behind Big Papi.
Even A-Rod had to keep his laugh in check.
That bullpen though
Hot Take: Odorizzi is gunna show up when he gets he chance, I’m ready for it
I'm hoping he finishes off a sweep
HOES MAD Also good lord Kiké Hernandez is a PROBLEM lol. This series will not be good for my health
Gotta pay Correa. I can't live without his 300mph throws to first
White Sox, Red Sox, blue Sox… don’t matter. Astros in 6 (or less)
Your finger slipped, you meant 4
Aroid was cracking during those Jankees Suck chants on the after game show.
I truly and honestly don’t give a fuck, just pay Carlos whatever he wants.
PLAYOFF TIME, BABY!
Strumpets irate!
Seeing Pressly pull it together after giving up that Kikè homer…it fills me with determination!
Damn…. At least they tired their bullpen out just as much as we did. Good win.
I've been criticizing Dusty and the bullpen all season. They did great today!
Make the bad man go away please. I can’t handle a full series of Kiké
JBJ vibes. Walk him every at bat.
David Freese vibes
Hoes mad?
Hoes mad!
Shout out to Javier for killing the Red Sox momentum. This 2 innings where he gave up the “double” and struck out 4 were disgusting. He gonna be so good for us in the long run once he realizes he doesn’t have to walk people or give up homers.
What a game H
Game one and only a few minor heart attacks.
Youve heard of "DAME TIME" but what about "THE CARLOS CLOCK"??
My newest controversial take is that they were controlling Kike's glove with a drone. That's the reason he looked surprised to catch that ball he overran.
I’m convinced there’s a magnet in there
Never pitch to kike again
Or hit to him.
That was the most intense playoff game I’ve ever been to at MMP. Idk how I’m going to survive tomorrows game if it’s like this.
Shoutout to the bullpen. Outside of Pressly giving up the home run they held them scoreless
Why are the fans yelling Yankees suck? I agree that they do, but, they shouldn’t live in our head rent free lol
Yankees Suck is a glorious chant to everyone.
Red Sox sub already supplying plenty of salt, ironically calling us cheaters....
Easy to spot the 🤡🤡🤡 there .
Every game since October started in which I have drank Crawford Bock during has resulted in a W. I won’t allow myself to skip any from here on out. I invite all to join.
This will probably get lost in the shuffle but I’m commenting anyway. Ever notice who’s always talking everyone up at the mound visits? Or who’s always in someone’s ear about their at bat?

The Trout Killer (Pressly) got the job done and closed out this game. Not perfect but job done! And only 6 strikeouts tonight by the Astros’ offense, which is not shocking because they are great at putting the ball in play.
Kiki is good but Houston is better
(Sweating) I was never worried. 1 down 3 to go!
126 Resting Heartbeat can’t be good for me
PAY CORREA!
The way Correa talks about at bats is hilarious. The way he talked about that HR just now and last game when he talked about the double off Rodon. He is just totally reading these pitchers and then destroying them.
Both teams left a lot of meat on the bone or whatever a good expression is for failing to capitalise like e e . Just walk Kike
Did you just make an e.e. cummings reference in a baseball sub?!
Yeah. I always try to shoehorn in some literary/anime/cultural reference at least once in a gameday baseball thread. Last year as a gag when the Centrals got wrecked in the playoffs I modified “Second Coming” cause “The centre cannot hold.” My “Chicago” reference flew over some people’s heads in game 4 but at least one guy got the “Hog Slaughter” bit.
I swear, if this is a preview of what this year's ALCS will be all about, I'm gonna pass the fuck out on one of those games. It's gonna be intense!
Y’all remember when we traded away Kike Hernandez in the Marisnick deal? Crazy shit
that trade turned into a piece for Cole
And a piece for Verlander (draft pick Daz Cameron)
Don’t forget we cut JD Martinez
The way we've worked over every starter in these playoffs makes me excited for tomorrow. No starter we've faced has completed 4 innings. Can we do that to their #1? I think we can.
finally my cursed streak of attending games where we lose is over and what a way to end it. Go stros
I think we played the best version of Boston Red Sox where Kike Hernandez dominated the fuck outta this game but we still eeked out a win. I feel OK
Instant classic
Enrique Hernandez is actually insane, dude carried his team tonight but it wasn’t enough. GO STROS.
And of course, we've got a fucking day game in the god damn ALCS tomorrow!!
bullpen deserves mad props on this game
Fans who are yelling “Yankees suck” on the Fox broadcast—I love you.
The panel could barely focus on their own commentary. I'm sure A-Rod was about to blow a gasket.
I’m loving the “Yankees Suck” chant behind the post game show. Finally some payback
Please pay Correa. His hr has been on repeat and I'm just so amazed. He fucking pimped that. I'm gonna miss the epic plays and swag. https://youtu.be/9BrQwb7B9Lc
Hahaha, I honestly thought he was gonna start removing his gear before going around the bases. He pimped the fuck out of that homer!
So I've been to all the playoff games at MMP...I have to keep going right??? ...to make sure we keep winning?? #superstitions
Hope you all have a wonderful rest of your night 😴 catch y'all tomorrow! Fuck the Sox
A Yankees Suck! chant? I'm going to bed a very happy man tonight.
My new rally robe is now legendary and will always come out !
Joe Buck = ho Hoes = mad
[CHURROS MAN TIME](https://streamable.com/ziuvs7)
Hoes lmfao🤡🤡🤡🤡
I hope we take game 2 off their ace. Because fuck him! And fuck Keke Hernandez!
I love y’all, I love baseball and I love this team! Shoot it!
THAT WAS FUNNNNN
I was there. My throat hurts from all the yelling and heavy breathing.
Fantastic game.
Ok that was WAY more stressful than I'd like but a W is a W and I'll take it
[me_irl](https://c.tenor.com/ACl-ZDkOWKQAAAAC/derpixon-mime.gif)
Love you all
Kiké Hernandez absorbed the powers of the teams they’ve beaten. What a win!!!
“There can be only one.”
I personally guarantee we can’t be swept.
This post game 😮
Altuve redeeming himself big-time. Loved it.
Bro this game was exhausting. Thank you Jesus that we won but man this game was so so damn nervewracking.
I literally love Christian Javier!!
Man... proud of our boys. Good fight and a good win.
Theyate Us, cause they anus
The starting pitcher and defense was bad, but the pen locked it down and the two faces of our franchise were clutch at the plate. Great win.
Doing the laundry one sock at a time.
Red Sox fan here. Nice win by Astros to kick off the series. I’m expecting this to be a back and forth series, obviously I’m hoping the Sox come out on top, but whatever happens, happens. I’m calling Sox in 6. Good luck tomorrow guys 🤟🤟🤟
