the list of all-time Astro-killers might begin and end with Will Clark

he had a phenomenal 1.008 career OPS vs. Houston in 449 at-bats -- not a small sample size

even had an .896 OPS in the Astrodome

Clark destroyed the late 80's Astros teams

probably has the best numbers against Houston of a non-Hall of Famer
Ironically made the last out of Mike Scott's no hitter.

If you guys need some extra mariners tears this is a great compilation of the yordong on game 1 of the playoffs.

I didn't realize baggy and biggio were behind home plate and you can see them both raise their arms in unison when they hear the contact

My favorite Red Sox comment from last night's game:


Quote:
Kyle Barraclough died for this


I laughed out loud.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

The announced attendance of 44,280 was the largest Tuesday crowd at T-Mobile Park since Seattle's 2014 home opener.
I love that they had a packed house to watch them lose to the lowly A's.

I know we swept them, but still feels like the closest series we played in the playoffs last year. Really reminded me of the 05 WS with how every game was close but ended in a sweep.

That was awesome. Two things:

1. I don't understand a single word but the Spanish broadcasters were the best.

2. Yuli was one of the first ones to jump out of the dugout in celebration. God I miss that guy....

Really need to keep our eye on the Blue Jays, too. After today against the Nats, their next 9 games are against the Rockies, A's and Royals. Oof....

Trevor Rosenthal is doing a full review of each ballpark's bullpen. Posting one per day. Maybe I'm just a baseball nerd but this is really cool.

as expected...quite a few Hall of Famers feasted on the Astros thru the years

- Tony Gwynn had a .355 career BA vs. Houston. 320 hits vs. the Astros -- the most against any opponent

- Willie Stargell had a .922 career OPS vs. the Astros including 43 home runs

- Andre Dawson's OPS vs. the Astros (.857) is 50 points higher than his career OPS (.806)


Random argument- Will Clark who is not in the HOF is more deserving of it than Andre Dawson.

Dawson has like 429 career homers vs. 280'ish for Clark but Clark was a career .300+ hitter and Dawson was like .275.

Not sure I buy my own premise but it's something to ponder.

Love this. Our season tix are right next to the Stros Pen in 155. Only two seats in the row. Some of the best seats in the house imo. Looking forward to his review.

He would review the visitors bullpen which is in right center.

If you're ever in Cleveland, buy a cheap ticket to get in and go stand along the railing near the away bullpen in left center. I did that for the Astros series last year. It was fun watching those guys go through their routines and I got to have a conversation with a few of them. Decent view of the ballpark as well.

Will have to remember that. We've gotten to know a few of the bullpen guys, and Bracamonte is a good family friend. When we do go on road trips we always make it a point to go over to the visitor pen to say hello. In KC last year they had easy access to the guys which I think is awesome for the fan experience.

So when Seattle plays Rangers do we want one team to beat the other totally out of the playoffs for good or is it better if they split each series. I'm leaning towards knock one of them all the way out so we only have to be concerned about the other.

Bracamonte is the man. Genuinely one of the nicest guys ever.

I'd rather they split so it's easier for us to take the division...at that point I don't care if both squeak in because we'll be in the driver's seat with a bye and rested arms (which we'll definitely need).

While I think Texas has more talent, I'd rather knock Seattle out. With their starters, more dangerous team in my opinion.

Edit as I forgot about the bye, poster above is right.

For me, the best part of that game (aside from the walk-off obviously), is the emotional swing of the kid in the stands. I know exactly how he felt at the lowest and highest points. I know most dislike this guy, including me, but this is the best video of the kid's emotional roller coaster. His first appearance is about 1:32, and the last is about 4:26.

Justin Verlander Has Made the Houston Astros the Team To Beat


Quote:
While Seattle and Baltimore have been fun teams to follow this season, and may very well finish with better records than Houston, neither team has the same level of experience and comfort in October that Houston has. Additionally, with injuries mounting in Baltimore and decimating the Texas Rangers, Houston finds itself with a phenomenal opportunity to make its way back to their familiar stomping grounds of the Fall Classic.

Our best month of the season was May 17-10 (.630). We currently sit 12-8 (.600). We need to finish 6-2 in the last eight to reach 18-10 (.643). If we finish 5-3 / 17-11, I would be a very happy camper.
We've gone 4-3 since this post. Need to win this afternoon to get to the 17-11 (.607) for Aug and lock in our second-best month. A loss means 16-12 (.571)

Seattle is 20-6 (.769) with 1 to go vs OAK.
Arlington is 15-11 (.577) with 1 to go @ NYM

Seattle has 4 more games against teams that have already mailed it in, then their September gauntlet hits. Kudos if they keep it up, but their free ride comes to an end soon.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
