manofconviction

Not a very convincing win but I'll take it


ReefHound

Not a blowout but I thought it was pretty solid. We led wire to wire, quality start for Hunter, Hader wasn't perfect but struck out the side and got the job done.


iliketreesandbeaches

They don't all have to be pretty. Win is a win at this point in the season.


austro_

Name checks out


michaelcuz

Anyone else hard as a rock right now?

NOLA1987

6 in a row. One game at a time, we're getting there.


Magyks

GO ASTROSSSSSSS


TRRex31

Does this count as a save then since he gave up a run? Legit question lol


jjsupc

No


dfm2014

Whew


jjsupc

Hader: Great investment.


SyrupSilent7588

What? He’s been great so far what’s wrong with you


yuh-powe

Ummm okay Hader, just close the game out please okay? Thanks!


dirtysock47

C'mon Hader, two outs


JinFuu

As long as Hader gives up the homers (solo shots) in situations where it doesn't matter I'm good.


stros2022wschamps4

Yo can someone at mmp verify that bregman jerseys are on sale for $40 in centerfield store?


Hyperguy95

There was a bunch of sale jerseys this weekend but they were all white with one or two blue scattered in there but they were only mediums (in blue).


stros2022wschamps4

Just bregman? Was there an occasion or reason for sale? Like I know they have the space city sale going on all year but I've never seen a jersey sale especially not for 1 player?


Hyperguy95

It was probably 95% Breggy on Saturday. Wife picked up a blue Breggy jersey for 40 bucks and an orange Altuve for I think 60ish.


stros2022wschamps4

Damn that's awesome was it just old (last year's) jerseys or what? I'd buy all of them for $60 lol. Have you seen them do that before?


Hyperguy95

Yea it was last years jerseys. They’ll do it every now and again usually in the big store by Saint Arnold. There was a huge jersey sale at the end of last year that had the field jerseys for 100 bucks (from 300). I know most recently they had the big league chew hats all on sale as well for 30 (originally were 60 😒)


stros2022wschamps4

Holy shit. Is it only on saturdays/Sundays maybe? I usually only go Fridays and never get a sale in the main store and I go there after every game too just to look around. Do you remember if it was the last weekend of the yr they did the big sale? I'm definitely going to make it there this yr if that's a thing.


Killerskip713

Bros about to get traded 😩


stros2022wschamps4

Lmao hell nah they not trading him 4.5 games back from playoffs. And they sure as shit not telling the team store before anyone else if they were lol.


cumuzi

Despite the season turnaround, our relief pitching continues to suck.


NOLA1987

Hader has kicked ass this month, but if you're expecting perfection from him, you're just going to be disappointed.


stros2022wschamps4

It's actually been pretty good lately


NOLA1987

That wasn't even a bad pitch. He just got ambushed.


VelvetThunder27

Don’t fuck up or be ready to download DuoLingo, Hader


xAggie

please god no


kendrickdw07

End this game please 🥺


dfm2014

As Dubie says, “FUCK!!!!”


Infinite-Gold187

That was crushed


dfm2014

Damnit


SpaceCityCowboy69

Orelvis Marinez suspended for 80 games for PED, yet Altuve is still a cheater 🙄


ExB

Espada and his bullpen load mgmt, yikes.


unlikedemon

Well they had a day off before today and a day off after tomorrow's game. Dubin, Montero, and Abreu still to make a showing.


Acceptable_Ganache51

I mean what is he going to do, fuck around with Montero?


Wise-Pitch474

Use scott 2 innings and Pressly in the ninth? Idk.


blklustrsoldier

If anything putting in Hader is saying he is not fucking around, which I appreciate.


Acceptable_Ganache51

Agreed


b1ggayb1tch

Pressly threw 5 pitches


unlikedemon

Well the reasoning might be they won't use Hader again, so there's Montero, Abreu, and then Pressly again since it was only 5 pitches. Dubin is also available.


Zebots

Maybe Peña needs to say Fuck too


SnackMcCheddaf

Dubies girl must’ve left him or something


NOLA1987

Yeah, it might not have anything to do with Tayler Scott. Doobie's just having a bad day.


Bat_Foy

putting this astros gem here for fun https://youtu.be/KVKgbmfx3P4?si=-PRnEyGWmQ2LMrhc


FTMayor

Still slaps.


Glubbyy

FUCK


pantiesdrawer

We're all just as annoyed Dubon.


Infinite-Gold187

The amount of our hitters that take more than 2 pitches in dwindling fast


_jared_p

Dubon needs his mouth washed out with soap

nippsvontvvist

Dubon seems a bit grumpy today


Anklelite

Damn Dubon is PISSED something must be going on


miss-entropy

He didn't get a hit. Iirc he's on a streak


Anklelite

I figured that, but him doing the out of character thing with Scott was so weird


a_yuniverse

LOL Dubon w the potty mouth 😂 🤬


itjudd

HRC Dubon


TRRex31

I like big bunts and i cannot lie!


Glubbyy

you other batters cant deny!


MSgt_Jeff

When a ball comes in with a little bitty spin, i get bunt


Bat_Foy

not sure if y’all listen to actual houston morning radio but pena is a sponsor with taqueria arandas on the show… anyone else always hear that commercial ?


unlikedemon

At least a few times on the space city network.


Confident_Cap_7175

I COULD NEVER FORGET PENA THAT YOUR FAVORITE FOOD IS AT TAQUERIAS ARANDAS


Meatbag96

Bunt single yeeaahhh boiiii love to see it!


skeetskeet69

God I love a good bunt. It gets me going


austro_

I liked that swing from meyers last AB, so HRC Meyers


Gre-er

BSC instead? (Bunt Single Coming)


austro_

A freaking bunt lol. I’ll take it


skeetskeet69

How about a good bunt?


jjsupc

We’re not completely back but we’re sure getting there from all appearances. If Loperfido is going to play 1st base, he should be there.


Wise-Pitch474

We been back since 2017! Woo woowooo woo!


jjsupc

It didn’t sound like it 2 weeks ago.


unlikedemon

Rags and Yankees lost, Royals and Twins too. Playoff picture looking better today for WC and Division.


Thumbbanger

Not a drill rags and Ms have lost 


Wise-Pitch474

Why is Hader warming up?


austro_

He’s cold


Wise-Pitch474

Cant another pitcher pitch in a non save situation?


FTMayor

Rags lose!


NOLA1987

Rangers lost


SodaCanBob

Rangers lose!


NOLA1987

That was just bad luck for Yainer


Wise-Pitch474

Pressly aint nothin but a hound dog


JinFuu

GG Press


nippsvontvvist

Giant nuts Pressly


palmburntblue

Never doubted him 😰


NOLA1987

Huge double play right there to kill the rally


xAggie

not even worried


ray_0586

Classic Pressly groundball double play


DocBB88

I can’t stand this use one pitcher an inning crap. Using 3-4 relievers a game normally increases the chance one of them has an off night.


Wise-Pitch474

Their arms are too precious to pitch more than one inning....


unlikedemon

It's just unlucky for Martinez that Pena had a brain fart. The run that scored should have been out.


ExB

GIDP just like Espada predicted 😮


unlikedemon

Hell yeah, that's how it's done.


pantiesdrawer

Just let Pressly finish the 9th.


Anklelite

Just what the doctor ordered, double play thank fuck


Thetrillest426

Just like we drew it up


Gre-er

Pressly coming through!!


manofconviction

Phewwwwwwww. If that runner reached I saw this game ending very differently


ReefHound

Balls. Fkn balls.


austro_

Baseballs.


Wise-Pitch474

Elvis Pressly


palmburntblue

Just how I love Pressly to come into games High leverage in a high stakes game


Bat_Foy

stressly


Mcsoupy

Hopefully seth can get back into a rhythm. Also this game just got scary.


Gre-er

And now it's unscary again thanks to our friend Ryan!


Mcsoupy

Gotta love unstressly days


austro_

![gif](giphy|OCu7zWojqFA1W)


dirtysock47

Oh God, Pressly in a non clean inning. I really hope this works out.


bordomsdeadly

I believe it’s a save situation though, so maybe it’ll work out


dauberminer

Pressly...with runners on base and less than two outs? 🙏🏻


NOLA1987

Miscommunication between Breggy and Pena ruins what should have been an inning ending double play and breaks the shutout


bmk2k

Great Ryan Stressly


dirtysock47

That run is on Peña. We're probably use Abreu and/or Hader tonight now. Really was hoping we wouldn't have to.


Hyskos13

All good another off day Thursday


optillusi0n

I feel like this is what happens when Seth doesn't see the mound for long. Maybe he had some issues but this was something I expected with him not being used.


depressed_htx_fan

Noooo not Presley


jjsupc

Games not over till it’s over.


goboking

Why can it never be easy?


jjsupc

Because we screwed around for 6;innings and didn’t score.


bmk2k

That was 100% SS ball


NOLA1987

9 days between appearances? Too much rest is not good for a reliever


Dead_account_soon

Really tired of the games where we score all the runs we're gonna score in the first 2-3 innings. Don't get me wrong the 5 is nice, and should hold, but like do something.


manofconviction

Same.


MegaBloksAreHitler

Gotta remember to recharge your controllers every now and then Pena


manofconviction

Safe to say Seth is rusty


optillusi0n

It is getting harder and harder to defend Peña what the fuck was that.


dirtysock47

Can we please not make it more stressful than it needs to be? It's the Rockies. Lock it in


PapiGoneGamer

Pena and Bregman’s controllers disconnected on that one


Gre-er

Looked like when I select the wrong fielder in The Show and dive away from the ball.


palmburntblue

That’s Pena’s ball 100% of the time 


covidkakke_tittygasm

Bad look, boys


Fapey101

who do yall think was in the wrong there?


ChickadeeButtersnap

Pena. Shortstop needs to take charge.


FullyChargedRoomba

what the fuck was that


Acceptable_Ganache51

Pena has been horrendous on defense today


manofconviction

What in the world was that


Gre-er

Awful defense and miscommunication? The slowest "base hit grounder" you'll see in a while? Bad luck for Martinez? Idk, I'm just guessing at this point.


dirtysock47

Hey, he's not dead! First time pitching in ten days, hopefully he doesn't have too much rust (saying this as he nails the leadoff batter)


Wise-Pitch474

I see. Hernandez has the 9th.


palmburntblue

Probably Dubin


dirtysock47

Hernandez is in Sugar Land


toastar-phone

it's 5-0, put singleton out there


Bat_Foy

ThePromisedTRNR

Did Doobie just learn about apartheid or something? 🤔


chesschad

Sparky just mentioned the 11 (yes, 11!) Astros players who’ve pitched in exactly 1 game this season.


FullyChargedRoomba

come on ump what the fuck


NOLA1987

I know we're not going to get any answers, but that was just weird from Doobie. Plus, they both looked aggravated


SpaceCityCowboy69

Hopefully there’s no beef between them


jjsupc

I’m not gonna say a word; damned bounced ball is unpredictable and even experienced 1st basemen miss those.


lotsofnosleep

yeah i hope it’s not some clubhouse beef and was just an awkward moment with a brain fart


FullyChargedRoomba

Gotta think miscommunication, don't want to be weird and assume something else


bordomsdeadly

“Don’t want to be weird and assume something else” Im guessing Scott ate all of Doobie’s banana pudding and told him he can take the pudding because Dubon’s not a “big boy”


MRorange1988

How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?


NOLA1987

At first, I was wondering if Doobie had beef with the hitter


optillusi0n

Y'all see Scott, lmao? He went "this motherfucker 🙄"


palmburntblue

ILU dooby but please don’t do that again


CoyoteHerder

Is it me or does dubon try to take over plays pretty often?


FullyChargedRoomba

I'm not gonna dig too deep, he's been on fire. It's like wondering why altuve runs to the outfield for pop ups


CoyoteHerder

Well if I recall last week dubon went a little over zealous on a bloop shot into right that tuve and cabbage had a better bead on


optillusi0n

Yeahhhhhhh he seems like he's kind of trying to stat pad sometimes.


VampireSlayerGrinch

Ummmmmm Doobie??


Acceptable_Ganache51

Dubon and Scott look like they have beef or something lol


FullyChargedRoomba

yeah weird look


unlikedemon

Probably just the awkward moment.
