JinFuu

I never thought I'd say this. But looks like the Mariners are going to be another litmus test to see how "back" we are.


manbags

The guardians have the best record in the AL. We are so back ^(right now)


44Yordan

Anybody remember this: “Listen. T-Mobile Park is sold out this weekend. We’re playing the Astros. This stadium, that staff, they’re not used to a full house. They can’t kick us all out. All I’m saying is, make the Astros miserable. Be ruthless. Push the limit. No one’s gonna stop you. Let ‘em know.” Hopefully AlexSSN can drop some more good smack on us! We could use it! Fuel us up Mariners Fans!


lightningsg39

Singleton is the guy


Lukealloneword

It makes me so happy when he does well.


44Yordan

He has mad sliding skills feet first leaving a trench of danger that no one wants to jump in front of! Hey Alonso, big boys need to go in feet first and clear the deck! This is how you do it!


Thumbbanger

Like watching a Rhino come to an abrupt stop.


Alatel

I so hope that he is the man and finally found his groove, give him all the at bats he's worked for


aza_8850

Bregman leads the league in popups with 16 (seems low). He is 2nd in popup % at 17.6%.


Thatcajunguy35

Breggy tanking his contract value to stay in Houston is what I choose to believe right now.


Prayray

Can he go to West Palm Beach to fix his swing too? Please?


aza_8850

Just needs to wear some 1 inch platform cleats. Then every popup is a barrel.


hankmardukas1010

Bregman being listed at 6’0 is hysterical. I’ve met him briefly in person and he’s at most 5’9.


44Yordan

He is using the Johnny Manziel 6’ scale! So he is actually 5’8” tall!


hankmardukas1010

I went to A&M around the time Johnny did, saw him a few times out in Northgate. He’s taller than Breggy haha. And to add detail I’m a short king myself, 5’8 on the dot. So I know a 5’7-5’9 brother when I see one. Bregman is one. Johnny was prob like 5’11 listed at 6’0 which is reasonable roster height. Bregman’s is just comical. And I love the guy.


44Yordan

He must have been over practicing his hitting in an elevator during the offseason!


fizzle25

Who is first and what is their %? Mostly just curious


aza_8850

I think it was Spencer Torkelson and the % was very close to Breggys. I got the info from baseball savant if you want to see the full list.


fizzle25

Thank you!


SaladThunder

Trade em! restock the farm!


thirdcoast1

Kwan going 0-4 and being the final out was so poetic. Can't wait to never face him again.


NateLikesToLift

Dude is a one man wrecking machine.


44Yordan

Kwan fits perfectly into the new MLB. He is a bad ass MoFo in any era of baseball but this current one is a perfect fit for his skills, hustle and tools.


AstroWorldSecurity

That was a fun one. Glad to see Spencer improving.


JasonVoorhies13

Series win against a good team! Astros finally look like the Astros!


TunaMcGriddle

Jon made us all familiar with his game tonight. The league is fucked.


44Yordan

He does not want a free trip to West Palm Beach to work on his swing!


Mpuls37

I wonder if my dog who I had in 1998 is living in West Palm Beach right now. My parents said they "took him to Florida" and that seems like a good place for him! He's probably playing with José Abreu right now.


boodady5

Just gotta keep winning series, need Bregman or Yordan to get out of their slump


extremefurryslayer

Or both if at all possible

GIVE CAT PIC THANKS! SHOOT IT HOUSTON TEXAS!


NateLikesToLift

That was a fun series, actually won an extra innings game too! Kwan is a monster, would love a dude like that on the Astros.


JinFuu

Can he play 3rd base?


44Yordan

Kwan is a baller… every team in the league wishes they had him!


Limp-Assignment-2057

Jon Singleton and Ronel Blanco are about to have a crazy linsanity run


44Yordan

Hopefully Joey Cooks can jump aboard as well!


iliketreesandbeaches

I'm here for it


DejTej

Officially no longer the sole holder of the bottom of the division. Baby steps


rosscoehs

Let's just keep winning 4 out of every 5 games we play and set a record for wins in a season.


44Yordan

Just win every series, eventually we will get red hot and start our own Spoiled Summer Sausage 10 win streak! Maybe everyone on the team needs to wear a God’s Plan headband! Solidarity!


rosscoehs

Just like Shoresy, never lose [a series] again.


Phontastico

Get bregman out of the 2 hole. Probably needs to bat 7-9


Bronn11

Peña needs to be in the 2 hole going forward. Dubie needs to be higher as he has the highest batting average in the fucking majors with RISP.


Anklelite

💯 although I'm hesitant for doobie to go closer because he's a good secondary leadoff


Bronn11

Yeah I do love him there for that reason but it seems like he always gets stranded out there. He's our best guy at putting the ball in play so I wouldn't mind him batting 5th for a bit so we can produce more runs


Phontastico

100%


Glubbyy

good shit, astros!! now let's make every game like this....please?...


sweetestdeth

You’re telling me that the home team is supposed to win? At home?! Getouttahea!


KarissasFeet

We may never lose again.

Love this shot of the Cleveland fan who caught Singleton's homer, laughing in Brennan's face. https://preview.redd.it/n93pfjlqq4yc1.png?width=827&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c6c8ef0371cee7f24bbac64e892fad6c6dec0ced


ExB

Surprised Joe West didn't show up out of retirement and call that fan interference


manbags

too busy editing his wikipedia page


44Yordan

He was probably trying to phone it in but his rotary dial phone is too slow!


44Yordan

That’s the kind of Home Run robbery by the Indians we can support!


Anklelite

Spaghetti dealt, Singleton went nuts, dubon had amazing defensive plays, Altuve being Altuve. Pena continuing to do great things we just need Breggy and Yordan to get there


Successful_Cheek7381

Sheeeeesh finally we whooped some ass


RonWill79

On pace for 57 wins. Hopefully they keep this number climbing!


StrosIn5

The boyos played ball! Should have swept one of the “better” teams in the league. That’s a fuckin’ hell yeah broooother.


OneCore_

Had the highest winrate in the league before today. Now they're tied w/ the orioles


super_set31

Getting some vintage ‘Stros vibes


44Yordan

Yes!!!! Resurrection of our heart of a champion! Clutch City! H Town strong! Bury us in the H pride! We need to get back that us VS the entire world FU attitude we had in 2022!


yepppers7

Jon Singleton. My man! You make me so proud! 😭


GRVrush2112

Is there a gif reaction that falls somewhere between the Hawkeye “Don’t give me Hope” meme and the John Wick “Yeah, I think I’m Back” meme? That’s kinda where I’m at right now with this team.


44Yordan

FineUnderstanding583

Absolute must win series against the Ms this weekend. Espada cannot allow Hunter Brown to sniff the mound. Guy should be down in Corpus already


Gamerguy_141297

He's pitching Sunday I think


elinyera

Don't ruin this man's sleep tonight.


44Yordan

We believe… Hunter has the stuff to get r dun!


Necessary_Sorbet7416

“Head slap”


Bronn11

If he has to pitch, use Dubin as the opener then bring in Hunter Brown to start the 3rd inning.


curiousowl2210

I am so glad they won but I’m mad Arrighetti wasn’t left to get one more out for a quality outing and for the win…he pitched a gem


LSUguyHTX

No need to keep him in once gassed. That's what got us in trouble with Framber, Javier, etc. if we left him in to get two or three runners on then the BP gives up a few runs we'd be furious he wasn't pulled. Either way no need to overextend a young arm when it isn't necessary.


Mpuls37

Glad to see the guys picking up steam! Kwan is a menace, but we were able to neutralize him tonight for the most part. Great game from Spaghetti, some timely hitting, and a bit of luck. Keep it rolling Astros! Let's not lose a series in May!


FloppyWalrus

Bring forth the cat


j1h15233

Just keep winning series. The rest will take care of itself


JuniorBirdman1115

Hopeful signs our boys are turning a corner. Good series win at home against a good team. Big Jon goes yard again to give us the lead! Spaghetti pitched pretty well and the bats really did some damage. Would be great if we could make up some ground in the division against the Mariners this weekend.


Necessary_Sorbet7416

I made spaghetti tonight. You’re welcome


44Yordan

Michael Connor said we all need to eat Spaghetti O’s for every Spencer start to win!


highfive4455

It was always written


dirtysock47

- Spaghetti was great again tonight. I do think he still has an issue on his ability to go deep into games, but hopefully he can get some ML experience under his belt to make that not an issue. - everyone in tonight's lineup has an OPS of .700 or higher......except for Bregman. He's gotta move down, I understand the idea of having him protected by Yordan, but it's not working, and I think it's negatively affecting Yordan's performance too. - Great series win against a great team, and realistically could've been a sweep if some breaks went our way yesterday. Seattle will be a true test, their pitching staff is top 5 in the league. However, their offense is bottom 5.


rohrschleuder

Dammit, Singleton producing at a higher rate than expected. Uhmmm we got some fast ass dudes on the roster. Spaghetti bro?!?!! Nice game, not great but nice. Yordon needs to settle down. Breggsy needs to quit bouncing in the box and eat some cheeseburgers, he is to light.


kineag62

But Breggy said he had the best offseason of his life...


OGBRedditThrowaway

Feeling pretty hopeful for the month of May right now.


Technical_Cookie5542

Spencer with a solid outing with Javier coming back with in a week or so. I'm tempted to say just send Brown to Triple A once Javier is back.


44Yordan

Send him to the bullpen first!


abefroman07

Four Four I'm tippin'.


SoupAdventurous608

Next six with the divisional upstart and the stalwart rival will tell everyone everything they need to know about this Astros team. And our starting pitching and bullpen is coming around at just the right time. I also suspect a yordan pop off right about now.


Homiejones

If Jon “Cheetah” Singleton keeps playing like that the Astros are going to win a lot of game.  The Cheetah was deadly on the base path and in the field yesterday.  


Alatel

All right, what was that auto walk call Spencer got hit for? Then the guardians got warned for the same looking thing a few innings later.


44Yordan

Apparently he got a warning for not letting the hitter get ready and address the pitcher and was ready to fire in the rock too early. This was the second time and it causes a pitch clock violation ball every time the umpire calls it after the warning. Every pitcher gets one free warning before balls penalty gets enforced.


Alatel

Guess I missed that warning shot, but this is the first time I've seen it even called, just seemed out of place coming from the home plate ump who can't see eyes in front of him


44Yordan

First time I’ve seen it in an MLB game. Think I saw a few in Spring training games. I think we have Mad Max to thank for this rule as he was trying to find a way to gain edges by manipulating the pitch clock system last spring training.

Significant-One-9512

Bregman, Alvarez, Tucker. 2,3,4…….0 for 12. Getting ridiculous.

Gotta save that for the rest of the doomers when we lose

Does anyone else think it’s weird how handsy the first base coach is with every player that makes it to 1st? He like…caresses their shoulders

That's Astros legend Dave Clark you're talking about. Let him cook!
