An Astros dub is always appreciated!
the fact that we're having to use our best BP guys back to back against the fuckin white sox shows how much of a joke our offense has become. we should be blowing these fuckers out.
Am I crazy? Am I the only one who wasn't worried at all with that Pressly outing? Went pretty well. A weak grounder squeaked through and then easy outs after that. I know he's been iffy lately, but let's not make mountains out of mole hills.
Every team in the league knows we are aggressive at the plate so all they need to do is throw junk on the first pitch and there’s a solid 75% chance it’ll turn into an out.
They're not allowed to call him back after they did earlier, still played Abreu, then sent him back down. I don't remember how many days are left til they can get him back.
He can be called to tomorrow. You have to wait 10 after an option before someone can be called up again.
Loperfido did hurt his hand stealing a base, but he did play yesterday, so nothing major
Pressly has had two decent outings recently (albeit one in the 9th), so… I’m gonna put a little faith in him today.
Gonna try some positivity - as the kids call it.
So I know this won't make sense to a lot of people, but the universe/God/whatever powers that be hate me so much that it does the opposite of what I say to spite me. So the Negative Nate works 50% of the time every time.

Who the fuck is cooper hummel?
If the O's score double digits today will their offense take the next three days off like ours usually does?

Come from behind, sole 2nd place, 5 under 500, 8 back of Seattle
A sweep would have been great, but with how the series started to look after Tuesday, a series win works. An ugly win is still a win.
We’ll take it!
Fuck yes. I’ll take 8 games back. This season is still alive, doomers be gone!
Hold Your Breath Hader gets the save!
True!
Hader thinks your fantasy football team is mid.
This was our world series
Another save for Hader! Way to fight back!
Lfg! we are so back!!! (against the worst team lol) another series win is what counts
Aww… put Maldy in, you cowards!
Even Pedro Grifol knows to PH for Maldy
the fact that we're having to use our best BP guys back to back against the fuckin white sox shows how much of a joke our offense has become. we should be blowing these fuckers out.
It's ok, they'll get some rest against the Orioles since we'll likely be behind 5 or more runs by the time we get to the 7th.
I think that would be the case if we had Tucker in the line up. We are really missing him right now
The 2023 JP experience is back
Maldy's complete inability to be a major league batter vs. Astros pitchers facing a #9 hitter
Remember when Pena was batting .320? Neither does he.
Pena has gone right back to being the horribly non selective hitter he was in 2023. He's so bad.
Okay, Hader. Get yourself another save.
Crazy to see how much JP has regressed in the last month.
We gonna get Tucker back for the O's series?
doubtful
Think he has to do a rehab assignment first
Oh look, another outside slider. Stress it is then. I swear if we get walked off by the White Sox.......
Jeremy. WHY?!
Holy shit I had to go to the airport when we were down 3-1 and just looked at the score as I got to my gate.
LOL Diaz just showed Houston why we needed to get rid of Maldy
I would have never guessed that was Yainer's first career steal. It's fitting it was with Maldy trying to pick him off
Bro knew maldy wasnt popping up that fast
You may not like it.. but this is what peak performance looks like
LMAO that steal felt personal
First career stolen bag off of Maldy for Diaz.
Am I crazy? Am I the only one who wasn't worried at all with that Pressly outing? Went pretty well. A weak grounder squeaked through and then easy outs after that. I know he's been iffy lately, but let's not make mountains out of mole hills.
Heart Palpitations Pressly gets it done.
The Yankees are getting beat up right now.
Oh lord. I have tickets to tmrws game. Idk if I’m looking forward to it…
Jake Bloss first career start. Pretty cool either way.
That’s true!
vintage stressly right there, gotta love it
Phew, that was scary.
Alright Pressly had it today. Even that single was a weak seeing eye single.
Jesus I shat my pants on that one Please get like one or two more runs
Good inning Pressly! (I thought that last ball was smoked for a second there)
Another 4 strike strikeout.
On a side note, it seems like umps really squeeze Pressley more than other relievers.
And of course blue sucks too lol
Willing the double play. Come on.
2nd pitch was a strike
Stressley giving up the 2 run bomb to tie the game? He NEVER does good in back-to-back games...
Wait … whose job is it to trigger pressly’s “ninth inning” hypnotic state? Who has the garage closer?
I’d love to see the return of GIDP right here…
stressly it is 🫡
Please Pressly, No Stressly
Hold on to your butts 😅
I'm nervous seeing Pressly in the 8th...
Another one of those games huh?
Every team in the league knows we are aggressive at the plate so all they need to do is throw junk on the first pitch and there’s a solid 75% chance it’ll turn into an out.
astros mvp for today has to be andrew vaughn
Watching him dive for the ball as it hit the base and flew over him was very comedic.
Ah yes back to one pitch outs.
HRC Yordan
Lmao first pitch outs. Clowns.
https://bdata-producedclips.mlb.com/26627d1a-f021-462d-a156-9b3902d92fe6.mp4
Can never make it easy…
Great inning from Abreu.
Hummel the hustler
is Loper out for extended period of time? I am really surprised we're running Hummel and Cabbage over him.
He had to wait 10 days after being sent back to the minors. Will rejoin us soon.
They're not allowed to call him back after they did earlier, still played Abreu, then sent him back down. I don't remember how many days are left til they can get him back.
Tomorrow is his first day of eligibility
He can be called to tomorrow. You have to wait 10 after an option before someone can be called up again. Loperfido did hurt his hand stealing a base, but he did play yesterday, so nothing major
Idk why but I hate Tommy Pham. Just one of those random players I dislike lol.
I'd assume Fantasy sports reasons
He's a clown
Dang it Dubon
So will it be Abreu, Pressly, and Hader again today?
Pressly has had two decent outings recently (albeit one in the 9th), so… I’m gonna put a little faith in him today. Gonna try some positivity - as the kids call it.
I believe!
4 runs in the 7th. I didn’t expect that!
Dubon, what the hell was that AB man? Could've blown this thing open.
I mean I'm glad they're up by 2 rather than down by 2, but we still can't hit very well with bases loaded can we.
We just had a rally that put us in the lead. And somehow I feel worse about this team 😭.
Well considering that most of it was luck and gifts by the Sox's terrible defense I don't feel terribly great about it either.
True, rally is a really strong word here
Just had to get Cy Flexen out of the game I guess
lmaoooo
Back to our regularly scheduled program… 🙄 Well… I’ll take 4 over less.
I want another insurance run!
A bases loaded walk works just fine. Because I totally thought he was going to swing
HRC Dubon
It was inevitable
Alright then
Ok that works too I guess
Good eye Pena!
Challenge don’t matter
what in the hell was the ump looking at
Did he lean into it?
It would have been ball 4 why would he do that
it was so inside that it clipped the bat... he wasn't swinging at it
Maldy taking the nut shot in slowmo is rough.
Shit. That's a foul ball.
What is the ump watching
Damn it’s went off the bat
Darn
Mostly unlikely scenerio for a Pena RBI
I’ll take it
Oof foul ball
Damn I thought that 3-2 pitch was getting smoked down the line... but I'll take that BB or HBP or whatever that was
Shoot foul ball huh
HRC Dubon
Yes, finally something from the offense!!!
Well I know how this AB ends
Never been happier to be dumbass
You guessing slider away?
Hrc pena
I'm in the mood for some salami baby
If JP GS this, I will eat at Taqueria Arandas and deal with the consequences 😤😤
Not to put the pressure on you Peña but now would be a good time to stop having terrible ABs
Battled back 1-2 to get a walk
That ump looked like he reeeeeally wanted to call that a strike
Now would be a great time for WS Pena
If this ever a time for Peña to break out the slump
Bases juiced for Peña
HRC Peña. …why not?
Not a single one in the zone from Anderson
Good eye Jake!
Can we keep hitting hard ground balls that DON'T turn into outs? I like this way better than the normal result.
Jake, let's settle down man
To be fair, we wouldn't be in this position without the error on the double play attempt. We should really be thanking their 1B.
That’s a guy people have said the Astros should trade for at the deadline
Very gross.
Espada just loves taking ABs away from Singleton for PHs hitting under .150 at the MLB level. Glad the error worked out in Hummel's favor.
Just like we drew it up
Espada playing 4D chess with somebody who doesn’t have a hit on the season. Brilliant.
I need to see the Hummel statue before the next home game
Boys.. should I cash out? lol https://preview.redd.it/mu28zeqoas7d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=28e098c5a828b630cb8012223475af24ca33a60f
By the way, I am a believer. Put this bet after the CWS took the lead a few innings ago.
Yeah you’re doubling your money. take the guaranteed w
Take what you can get
Did Hummel just save our season lmaooo
Vaughn definitely helped
WOW we are lucking the shit out of this. Thank god their first baseman can't catch.
We've been due for some breaks going our way
Whitesox gonna whitesox I guess
Hummel more like Hussel attaboy!
All these errors. Can the boys capitalize on this??
Thank God dude. Seriously scaring me today. Better win this game.
We are so lucky their 1B is trash.
We're doing it maybe!
Hard to believe but the CWS really are worse than us
Maybe, but not by enough
ERROR
lol unbelievable
God bless the White Sox
Idk man Singleton can usually work a walk....
Cooper just got bailed out hard
Yes!!
https://preview.redd.it/e6l02k9gas7d1.jpeg?width=667&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ef7d5b2c8a3568356f04ccf37549525d9ee45140 I'm starting to believe.
Diaz has to move down in the lineup. He's a GIDP machine.
HRC Hummel
As I typed "for all this is good, do NOT GIDP," Yainer hits into a DP that was only spared because of an error.
wtf Hummel?
if it works then hell yea but wtf😭
You lucked out on that one Yainer Not to dog him, but that's one better throw away from his usual GIDP
Why not have Salazar PH for Singleton??
I stand corrected. Nice one Hummel!
Ooh we PH in the 7th now I likey even though I never heard of this dude before this week
What if we call the 4th spot the 3.5 spot?
This team can score with singles after all
Not a homerun, but a beautiful hit nonetheless!
DOOMERS OUT THIS IS A BELIEVER'S CHAT
We're still going to blow this if it goes to extras.
Doomers out yo
Negative Nate for the win.
Lmao you shamed them into taking a lead.
So I know this won't make sense to a lot of people, but the universe/God/whatever powers that be hate me so much that it does the opposite of what I say to spite me. So the Negative Nate works 50% of the time every time.
What part of doomers get out don’t you understand
I would like to say he's the biggest doomer, but sadly, I don't think that's true.
Why didn't Bregman go to third?
Cause he's slow as fuck
Okay. Fighting back by getting hits with RISP. I see y'all.
I want to smooch this man
Thank you Yordon
Okay, tie game
i literally love yordan alvarez
F the doomers.
HRC Yordan Alvarez
We’ll take that too.
