Intruder posted:Please change thread title to "the hits have stopped coming" Yesterday was expected. The bats returned in Games 6 & 7 and they will come back again. Kershaw just did Kershaw things yesterday. If Keuchel goes outside to Turner on that pitch, we're staring at 1-1 until forever. Either way, the Astros making it this far has been amazing.

Intruder posted:Excuses like "It's Kershaw, what can you do?" work in the regular season but if you want to win a championship you eventually have to get to guys who aren't normally gotten to. See: the Yankees and Dodgers getting to Keuchel It's a seven game series, I'm not flussed about losing one game on the road against the best pitcher of this generation. It's not like Keuchel pitched poorly, they just punished his mistakes. When Kershaw made a mistake (singular, because he did it once), Bregman launched it deep. I'll be worried if we lose tonight with Verlander pitching and have to come back to Houston and win two with McCullers and Morton, but for now we pitched well, defense played well, we just need to get back into a rhythm at the plate. It's not like Rich Hill murdered the Astros when he was in Oakland. As far as changes that need to be made, I think we have to put Bregman and Yuli at 1&2 and move Springer back to 5 or 6 - he is lost up there right now (and was throughout the Yankees series as well). He's hurting the team when the leadoff guy is basically Adam Everett up there. Also, we need Gattis' bat. Hinch has to get his mind around the double switch. When McCann was up in the 7th, Gattis should have gone in at that point and caught the remainder of the game.

Pessimism is ingrained in Houston sports fans despite the clutch city Rockets on account of the last 23 years. Those who don't get it will never understand. Edit: I mean a loving laser from Bregman bounced off a dude's loving head straight to the other fielder to prevent runs from scoring. That's the most Houston poo poo that's ever happened.

The only real tickets I have are for ALCS Game 2 because they're from a season ticket holder.

There are probably beer league softball players who cant touch his 2004 OPS in Major League Baseball -1.422 across a season of MLB.

Intruder posted:I hated the Bagwell trade when I was younger because Glenn "The Big Bopper" Davis was my favorite Astro Bagwell giveth and taketh away. He took away your favorite player, but gave us a future. However, is it Bagwell that is ultimately responsible for Schilling's current position as a MAGA twitter troll? Had Bagwell been bad, Davis doesn't get Wally Pipp'd, Schilling never comes to Houston and never exposed to the 1992 RNC in the Astrodome which I have just made up to be Schilling's first exposure to right wing politics? My Bagwell story is that he bought our table a bottle of champagne at Hugo's once. I got him to autograph it. He made a crack about how only dudes my age come up to him and never women. That bottle is still displayed very prominently in my house. Jeff Bagwell is awesome.

In my drunken exuberance after reading this thread at 3 am after coming back from Main St. I apparently requested a Charlie Morton avatar that had already been claimed. For that action, I deeply apologize. b0ng, and all other Astro-posters, I am ashamed of my actions and will use this as a learning experience moving forward. That being said, I still want a cool 'Stros World Series av! So, to the extent any Astro is not claimed, I'll take em. Maybe Brian McCann as the baseball fun police. My wife decided Brian McCann was her favorite player through the postseason because of his soothing skills with pitchers. She brought a "Yes we McCann" poster to the parade and everything.

Favorite Astro Memories! I used to work for the city and went to some Astros and Parks & Rec thing in 2010 for a new little league field. Annise Parker was there to give a speech and threw out a first pitch on the little league field to Wandy Rodriguez. She nailed it and then told Wandy it was a better pitch than anything he had thrown that season. It owned.

We were in the upper deck, first base side, and Jose Cruz came up to bat. I remember running down the stairs to the rail yelling, "CRUUUUUZ!" and looking back at my dad smiling, then running back to them and hugging my mom after Cheo got a hit. It was the last birthday I ever got to spend with them before they died. Oh my god dude.  Go Astros! Glad they are a point of happy memories for you.

It's good that they de-modded you. In my head, this home run was still on its way up and hit the glass. After watching (for the first time in 12 years - I never once saw a highlight of this and the only time I've ever seen it was at the drat ballpark), it's good to know Springer's game 5 bomb was harder hit than this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFNS0xIBv3c
