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

Season over but it was a good one! I didn't participate much on this thread this year as I cancelled cable TV. Love the Astros, but I am very frustrated about this performance. Red Sox remind me of us last year, very clutch, aggressive, hits falling, confidence. Its very hard to win back to back world championships.
Adios cabron, see ya next year

T&P for all of those fans who spent hundreds and possibly thousands of dollars to go watch this show in person. Announcers, umps, made this unbearable.

I've watched the last two or so innings on mute. It's at least lessened some of the annoyance.


I just caught up on the latest Survivor episode and watching final 2 episodes of The Office while enjoying a nice scotch. Much cheaper and enjoyable than getting my nuts kicked in at the Astros game for $500 - way cheaper

4 runs in 4 innings is feasible

Two things have to happen for that to actually work:
1) stop swinging at **** pitches, like ones that are in the dirt.
2) consistency from the home plate ump


Or we catch the incteasingly rare good mccullers who throws nothing but soft ground ball curves.

Maybe, hopefully, most likely, maybe not, possibly, and I think Morton may be here another season.

it really has been the "other" guys for boston this series that have been the killers.

they are a damn good offense. their pitching is performing a lot better than I thought they would.

So Verlander had a good game 1. Cole gave up 5 in game 2. Keuchel gave up 2 (in the first) in game 3, Morton gave up 4 in game 4, Verlander gives up 4 tonight.

Best pitching staff in the league. Baseball is a bltch.

Finally changed the channel for the first time since the game started to the football game and it was a commercial. I'm just not meant to watch football. I'm back Astros'

While we should have a good team, I guess all the talk of an Astros dynasty is going to calm considerably. How many of our starting 5 pitchers will be back next year and after 2019?

Justin Verlander - signed through 2019
Charlie Morton - free agent after this season
Dallas Keuchel - free agent after this season
Gerrit Cole - club control through 2019
Lance McCullers - club control through 2021

Given how we have been fielding the last couple of games, I think that's pretty optimistic that it would work in our favor.

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.

Just chip away offense. Get some runs back. Don't press and have good ABs.

Justin Verlander - signed for 1 more year through 2019
Charlie Morton - free agent
Dallas Keuchel - free agent
Gerrit Cole - club control through 2019
Lance McCullers - club control through 2021


McHugh, Framber, James and Whitley will fit in just fine to fill the gaps

We needed our pitching to perform against Boston and they just haven't gotten it done. Hats off to Boston (with some help from the umps) as they've been the better team

shades of those great Atlanta Braves teams...with 3 Hall of Famers in their starting rotation, but flopped repeatedly in the postseason
