I'd add McHugh and Devo to that list, but it's a pipe dream anyway.

Did anyone get a free stitched jersey from Uber today?

What? They should be getting / have gear the same as academy or dicks. They're endorsed by the freaking MLB as the official shop. They absolutely should be able to ship things quicker. That's their whole business.
If anything, academy should be slower than MLB shop because they are a brick and mortar chain. If fanatics or MLB shop or whatever doesn't make online sales they have zero revenue.
I would not be shocked to see a tandem start of Morton/McHugh in Gm 4.gigemJTH12 said:
are we all in agreement that we dont see a reliever outside of Peacock, Musgrove or Harris for the rest of the series?
Do the Dodgers have a board? Dodger "tears"

My dad's birthday was last night. We were watching the game an hour behind because of the birthday dinner, so I just spent half a workday catching up on this thread.
1. Dinner was awesome, the Astros won, and Dad had literal tears in his eyes when I gave him his World Series tickets. This morning he said it was the best birthday he's had.
2. I'm definitely in for pregame beers Saturday.
3. As crazy as that game was, I'll forgive y'all for not discussing how important it was that Bregman robbed Turner's line drive in the 11th.

Other crazy things from last night
- Verlander pitched 6 innings of 2 hit
Baseball!
- at one point Astros outhit Dodgers 12-4 and we were still down
- the ball off Puigs glove - if doesn't bounce in stands, triple easy, although didn't matter since Bergman still scores
- Maybin was nailed in the arm by the catcher's throw when he stole the base, hit his arm first before the glove, and that SB was huge to help Springer out next AB
- Altuve, Correa, and Puig Homers all into the same exact section in left center field.
Such a great game!!

Takes longer to ship out or gets more stuff? Two very different things.ClickClack said:Farmer1906 said:Why?

Saw someone else mention this - Astros built this team around Altuve, Springer and Correa and all 3 homer in extra innings!
Got invited to the Friday game this morning.
I'm pumped. I went to the superbowl earlier this year and was about 1/10th as excited.

I know this has been discussed elsewhere, but I actually think our pitching has done a pretty good job of shutting them down. Of particular interest is our bullpen (minus Giles):
4.2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 5 Ks
I know it's a very small sample size, but it's an encouraging sign especially since we're heading home where we seem to do more damage on offense.

I'm an old
Never forget:
I thought this was funny:
Full game if you are like myself and can't get anything done.
Gold Glove finalists were just announced... 0 Astros are finalist. Really surprised no Altuve, Springer or Bregman
Keuchel too
I don't think Springer played enough innings to qualify.
Aaron Judge ?
That might be it.
Quote:
Player Qualifications
To qualify for consideration for a particular position, a player must have played a minimum number of games or innings (based on position) at that position:
All pitchers must have pitched in at least 138 innings by his team's 138th game;
A catcher must have played in at least half of his team's games by his team's 138th game (a minimum of 69 games);
All infielders and outfielders must have played in the field for at least 698 total innings through his team's 138th game: this equates to playing in the field for approximately 7.5 innings per game in approximately 67% of his team's games by his team's 138th game; this ensures that only full-time players are considered);
All infielders and outfielders with at least 698 total innings played qualify at the specific position where he played the most innings (i.e. where his manager utilized him the most)

Anyone notice the douchbags fans behind the plate waiving their arms around trying to distract the Astros pitchers?
Hypothetical question for fellow Astros/Aggies....
Let's say that you had this choice, and you could only choose one.
1. Attend college football playoff final that A&M is playing in.
2. Attend world series game 7 that the Astros are in.
if you could only choose one to go to, which would you choose? In this hypothetical let's say you knew 100% that both the Aggies and Astros would win their respective game for their first championships (well since 1939 for A&M)

now what is this about dick lids you're talking about? I'm intrigued.ClickClack said:
Somehow someway academy, dicks, lids all had World Series Astros gear the night we won but the "official MLB shop" still doesn't. Just incredibly poorly run. Glad I canceled my order and gave it to dicks and lids instead.

A&M 100%. Only in football. if it was any other a&m sport, I'd be at the world series.
that's what I would go with too... also there's a more likely chance of the Astros repeating than A&M would have
