Last game as an Astro for Maldonado, Keuchel, McCann, Gonzalez, Reddick, and maybe Morton?


And Gattis

Gonna be the weirdest offseason since the rebuild.
I can't imagine Marwin is going to be gone. He really is at the center of so much here.

How would they get rid of Reddick with 2 yrs / $26M left on his contract?

Altuve really sucks lately


Cut him some slack dude. He is playing practically on one leg.

Respect for Betts, but I'm about tired of hearing about his Rubiks cube solving.
everyone realizes that once you get one side it's all a pattern right?

He's hurt. Hinch already said that if it wasn't the playoffs, he wouldn't be playing at all. Sounds like an knee surgery is in his near future.

We had a good year. Tough to get embarrassed like this. Hard to watch.

You mean aside from the homer he hit yesterday? And the double he hit playing on one leg?

Maybe Morey can help with that?

I'm convinced Boston has picked up something on our pitchers. Yes, their approach is really good, but they have laid off some really good pitches and don't seem to be fooled by anything.


Red Sox players have said over and over Cora brought a strong 2 strike approach over to Boston. Cora himself has said the first thing he noticed when taking the job was that they swing and missed too muched.

It's the same approach that we were so good at last year and people said we were missing earlier this year.

He's figured something out and it works.
they are completely spitting on almost every breaking ball. it is absolutely part of the plan

I agree 100%. Our loss was Boston's gain. And I know Correa and Altuve really respect Cora a ton.

Hurt knee has nothing to do with swinging at bullcrap time after time.

New hitting coach may be something to consider. Unbelievable how undisciplined this team is at the plate. That includes letting meatball pitches go by, followed by swinging at garbage.

I mean, their head coach was our bench coach last year. They absolutely know a lot about us and our approach.


Yes, I realize that, but it's just crazy the at bats the Sox are having.

It isn't over yet, but if we're going to lose another... I'd rather it be in Houston than Boston.

I wouldn't say they are getting embarrassed. They are playing a 108 win team, and they are in the ALCS.

We went years without even sniffing the playoffs. This series has sucked, but just a few years ago, many would have been just happy to be here.

It was at the wall, might have scraped the top had Betts not made it back.

He has hit well in this post season, especially he ALCS. He's been the least of or worries.

So far it sounds like the commentators are licking Price's jock strap.

They are on their knees taking hot shots in the face.


Yup!

Astros' record at home is a disgrace these past two years. It should definitely be a talking point heading to the off season. Why exactly is this team so bad when it comes to playing in front of their home crowd?
I thought you called it a season, you will need to wait for the off season thread if you have any additional questions.
I know there is a big level of pride and "I am a better fan than you are dick measuring contest" on this thread. I was very active last year, from beginning to end and have been following the Astros for many years.

I might be wrong, and you will call me out if we win this game. I don't care. This team has not performed well this series, in addition to the bad calls. If we win, I'll eat my crow, but not looking like it.
Cheo, I will apologize because we are all Astros fans and "same team". It is frustrating to see so many people just give up and call it a season. I don't think I am a bigger or more knowledgeable fan than the next guy, I just know I never leave a game when there are still outs like I watched so many donin person on Tuesday and on TV last night.

Just watching people who claim to be great fans give up is disappointing. Forgive me.

what's been the hardest part of this series is watching the astros just flat give boston so many extra bases and free runs

I blame Clay Walker. Have they not seen the Texans? No reason for him to sing before this game.

Alright, let's go! I wonder if we'll see Kimbrel eventually, even with the amount of pitches he threw last night.

This is feeling worse to me than the White Sox sweep.

Let's get some runs and turn this around. Although I didn't like Springer's body language last at bat

Amen

And a lot of folks don't realize how fluky and random the playoffs are. It's tough

Why would anyone say this team needs quite a few new faces based on a 5 game series with a 108 win team?

I'm with these guys until the final out.


Just watch...The ones who started out with em will be the ones finishing with em.


We all know the guys who have been here since the beginning.

Collard with the 1 post pre all star break, strong!

I ain't saying I posted a ton on this account, but I have read every word from you crazies.

Just calling em how I see em

Yeah, it's amazing what shortening up with 2 strikes can do. I think it was during yesterday's game they were showing Martinez taking batting practice. It had to be him working on a 2 strike approach, because he was no striding and letting the ball get deep. Just punching it the other way.

Ok. Time for the money shot. I'll take one for the team. At least I can say I went down swinging.

Let's go girl. If you have any magic left in the tank now is the time to show it.
