also...Tyler White...a guy that was so critical in the second half of the season...was a ghost in the ALCS.
0 for 7 with a walk and 5K's.
he was awful. Red Sox figured something out with him

Fan thoughts on Bregman's trash talking:
During series... "Bregman is a badass! **** Boston! Hahaha he's the best troller ever! Love it!"
After losing... "Bregman really needs to concentrate his efforts on the field and let his play do the talking."
Bregs talking **** has nothing to do with his play. Actually I think he needs off that and gives him the edge he plays with.

Can't wait to not watch this World Series!
Yep, wife has been getting on to me about not getting some things done around the house so I guess it's time to stop stalling.

Good tough series. Congrats on a great season. Yall have a tough team. Definitely played hard and gave it their all.
I hope you get molested
Not kidding
Flagged. It's a damn game
Holy ****, he's a grown man. It's a damn chat board.
People want his posts removed and him banned for trolling with two gifs. Maybe they should grow up also
Well they're not the ones flagging my post dude. Chill out
It doesn't feel real. This team is way too damn good to go out how we did. Postseason baseball is something else. Time to spend some money, bring up some new blood, and make another run. No reason we can't win win the division again and be a favorite to win it all.
We just got bounced. GFY
1st page is a bittersweet trip down memory lane.
I'm not consoling myself with leftover chili and a Dr Pepper because I'm out of beer. I hate everything right now
Why isn't the off-season thread up yet

Well, like that stupid damn commercial says, "Is you ready?!?!"
For next year.
I agree. I just think it's funny how fans turn on their best player after a few bad games.Ag_07 said:TayTrox said:

Great season and good series, Stros fans. The breaks just didn't go your way this series. Look forward to seeing the teams take it up again next season.
This is a sad moment for me, I think this may be the last Astros season my dad gets to watch this side of the veil
Boston just flat out outplayed us. Yeah we shot ourselves in the foot but they pounced on EVERY miscue.
They were the better team. Maybe if we execute like we should it's a different outcome but we didn't and they're moving on.
Sucks. Didn't want baseball to end.

It's not that hard to fathom. Correa is not healthy and was bad the second half. Really bad. Altuve is playing on one leg. Not sure what he does if we had made the WS. Morton had shoulder issues at the end of the season and after a long layoff, just wasn't sharp. Those are some big injuries. The bad start from Cole doomed us. We needed our pitching to carry us and it didn't.

I will
the ALCS also shows how bad the Indians were in the ALDS...and how phony the Indians were altogether as a playoff-caliber team...thanks to a horrific division

I don't think we were turning on Bregman. He played well, but struggled in the leadoff spot. Some older folks (like myself) think there is a time and place for the trolling. Regular season, that's cool. But, in the postseason I think the **** talk can work or fuel extra fire in the competition. I think it stoked their fire this time.

I agree. I fully understand. But this teammover the last 162+ was better than the team that won it all. Sure the offense wasn't as good. It we have much improved starting and relief pitching while the offense was still very strong.
After this ride of a season, it felt like we couldn't be stopped.
Yeah...bittersweet for me too. Dad was a die-hard Rangers fan (he lived in the Waco/DFW area for a long time) but he was rooting for the Astros last October. He passed away last December and some of my best memories involved talking baseball with him, along with some friendly rivalry. Astros gotta get at least one more WS, one for me and one for him. Next year would be a great time for it. Miss you, dad.
I don't have the time or energy to go pull all of denims posts from tonight and before, but he has been insufferable with his "it's over" "well, there goes the season" when we are down by one early and saying the players are trying to get to their vacation spots early (multiple times).jabberwalkie09 said:agsquirrel97 said:You really are insufferable.Boiling Denim said:
Any doubt Kimbrel goes 3 up 3 down?
That's how ready we are for some golfing and snorkeling
These guys arepros and competitors representing your home town and brought home the hardware in a very emotional season last year
Seriously, and from the bottom of my heart
GTFO
You know, you really need to take a look in the mirror. Last year is last year. I'm glad they won last year, but this ALCS has been sub par in contrast. Umps doing stupid **** excluded. I get being passionate about the sport and team, but extricate your head from your hind parts and actually see what's going on before telling people to GTFO.
Now, I'll see myself out. See y'all next year.
I don't agree with people who criticize those who have worked their entire lives to reach the pinnacle of awesomeness and try to tear them down and say they are tanking on purpose.
Every one of those guys have done something to get the Astros to 103 wins this year and to the ALCS. Most of those guys were instrumental in the most fun , incredible and emotional sporting season I have ever witnessed.
I will not sit down on this, I am embarrassed that denim is an Astros fan who gives up at the first sign of adversity and insinuates that home town heroes who have worked very hard are throwing the game.
It was a great season with a bitter after taste, but some of us believe in 27 outs and no time limit, which is a very important and distinctive part of baseball.
Don't read to much into in-game threads.
You're an Aggie. You should know that.

This.
Both starters and BP underperformed big time. I thought that's where we had clear advantages and it was the complete opposite.
Does the offseason thread start tomorrow>? I'm ready to speculate on who we will sign
So we just let Keuchel walk this offseason? Do we just call a guy up and hope for the best?
yep.
damn i hate boston
damn i hate boston
yep, Cole deserves a significant part of the criticism
