If this team wins it all, that will be a picture in the clubhouse for years to come.

Wheeler and Suarez in game 6 and Nola in game 7. Interesting
did not expect that
Makes sense to me. They have to win Game 6. For them it's survive today and figure out tomorrow.
Makes it all the more important to jump Wheeler early.
About 400 pages ago, there was some uniform discussion and I brought up the link below....
https://astrosdaily.com/history/uniforms/
When I think of the Astros uniforms, I picture them wearing the "Tequila Sunrise" or rainbow sleeve jerseys. They are a bit eccentric, but are unique to Houston, the fans love them, and they are not a boring font that could be used by almost any franchise in baseball. Make them Saturday or Sunday home jerseys.
When it comes to the hat, I would love to bring back the orange hat for certain days of the week (or when the Astros wear a navy top.....as long as Framber Valdez is ok with it). I have a New Era one without the MLB or New Era logo and I get compliments each time I wear it. Bringing in a white hat with a blue or orange bill would be awesome.

Don't mind the orange hat but the pants need a belt.tjack16 said:
I like the rainbow jersey, but the pants and orange hat are terrible
I'd be down to wear those jerseys, with the current white pants and navy hats

All I kept thinking last night was how Philly used every bullet in their bullpen. I know we used a lot too, but first of all we won, second we have a deeper pen. I just can't imagine what they will throw our of the bp, guess that's why Suarez is there.
Alvarado threw 20 pitches back to back nights. I don't think one off day will make him not feel that. Everyone else they remotely rely on had to go 15+ of high-leverage throws. And if they go with Nola in a potential game 7, that's short rest and I seem to recall he historically has not been good in that situation.
Good thing for us too, if we are in a save situation and Pressley can't go Stanek is a dang good option to replace him.

We have seen a ton of Suarez. We should be prepared to feast on him whenever he comes in to pitch.

Not sure about on demand, but it is in the bottom of the 7th on MLB network

iamtheglove said:Indeed I did. I was the dumbass that originally called him a lollygagger which amazingly has become a meme on this thread. So every time Tuck does something great (or even pretty good) I reflect on my misdeed.htxag09 said:Also take note of lollygagging Tucker....he busted ass and was actually in pretty good position to back the play upiamtheglove said:Agree, and add in the fact that it was a backhand catch. If Chas is a righty that play is a fair bit easier with the glove on the left hand. In a series filled with great moments, this one may reign supreme.Aston 91 said:As impressive as that catch was watching it live, it just gets better every time I watch it. The distance he had to cover, the timing of the jump, and the awareness of the fence - all in the most pressure-packed situation imaginable.tjack16 said:
Had to pick up a copy of the Chronicle today! What a cover
I did the same thing because there were a bunch of plays his rookie season where, if he'd busted ass he makes the catch but let it fall in front of him. Growth is possible however.

Quick thread on the magnitude of this catch...and the fact that Chas is a D2 product from @VilleMarauders. https://t.co/Wgc782Htxi

The Win Expectancy after that catch rose to 96.22%, which is a 6.06% increase after the catch, but what if McCormick didn't make the catch? What's the win expectancy then? pic.twitter.com/k9BwquXthh
— Robert Frey (@RobertFrey40) November 4, 2022
Meaning if you take the difference of before the catch versus after the catch, Chas McCormick's catch gave the Astros a 36.52% swing in win expectancy compared to if he did not make the catch. Amazing.

Chas McCormick made the catch of his life in his home state against his favorite childhood team. His message to Phillies fans? "Sorry guys." 😂

My brother in law is a softball coach. Their daughter does everything right handed but hits left handed.
For sure, but also common in baseball for an advantage in facing majority right handed pitchers. See Kyle Tucker and yordan Alvarez.
No one wants to live in shiner though.
Poster was something advertised on Facebook. Girlfriend got it for my birthday.
Wife and both daughters all in bed today with fevers, runny noses, and coughs.
I'm supposed to go see the Ags play tomorrow with my brother, then hang out with friends for UGA vs. the Vols and Astros Game 6.
Sort of feeling like Captain Over in Airplane right now when they're asking who had the fish and he's got the big plate of bones in the cockpit.

They booed Santa Claus and cheered when an opposing player (a Dallas Cowboy, I believe) was injured on the field. Not surprising for this group of classless aholes.bearkatag15 said:Phillies fans taking swings at my family … you suck. Get a life.

McCormick’s play was more indelible - it’ll be replayed for eternity. But, for my money, Mancini’s play was the best, most critical defensive play of this postseason, maybe - if they can win 1 more - in #Astros history.

If he doesn’t make it, the Phillies tie & likely take lead. pic.twitter.com/Se97A9FDMd
