Watching replay after replay of Abreus HR is glorious. Whats even better is seeing Heims reaction to it.
Sparky's call makes it even better.


I just noticed the granny in the club seats with the immediate reaction (surrender?) (omg yes?). It's really had to tell if she's pleased or very upset.

My God that was ripped.

She looked like she thought it was catchable… then she realized it was a line drive to the upper tank.

Altuve did an English interview recently . His English was just fine. These guys know English after all these years in the league. I think it's more about marketing to the Spanish speaking fans than anything


Being able to communicate in English and being comfortable and confident enough to do an interview in English are two different things.

Altuve has been speaking English publicly for a long time. Believe it or not Yordan speaks English well also. Some guys (like Yordan) prefer an interpreter so nothing gets lost in translation. It's a lot of pressure speaking a new language in front of a camera.

English is a hard language to learn. I don't get the group of people who get triggered by them speaking Spanish.
aint herd to lern it. Yous just gots to put in some efort

I figure they do it so they're more comfortable. If you're not 100% confident in speaking, doing a big time interview on national tv probably makes it tougher.


In today's "gotcha" culture I dont blame a single one of them for wanting a translator making sure nothing comes out in a way they don't intend it to

Good anecdote! Altuve let's his actions do the talking, for the most part

Just got back to hotel after seeing Above & Beyond at Redrocks while keeping up with the score. Last time I saw them at a festival while watching updates fpr the Astros was in Houston in 2017 in the world series we won. So basically i did it. Also going back to see them tomorrow night so, you're welcome.

Stanek on getting his Dub.




All this senseless talk about translators misses the biggest point for me. This is the first time I've heard Ryne Stanek speak and he's very well spoken.

So awesome waking up in the morning in Dubai and seeing this stuff. What a turnaround from Abreu, absolute slugger; Dubon playing outside of his mind, and Bregman and Altuve Grinding while Alvarez just being Alvarez.

Not only is Abreu getting production, but he's hitting the ball 430+ feet regularly. It's ridiculous.

I'm not sure if it's the eye liner or the smug face, but does anyone else think he looks like a member of Blue October or an extra from The Mummy?

Texting my boy during game 2 of this series, I said, we just look like the better team even though we are not winning. Well it's pretty clear now. The two they won were close and made some crazy plays. We have whipped them in our two wins. I think we also have a big mental edge on them with our experience.

IF the Astros win tonight I think we have a very good chance to close it out in 6. Mostly due to the fact that the Rangers haven't been here before down 3-2 in a series with their season on the line in a long time and most players on this current roster.

Obviously we're going to have to win a game that Montogomery or Eovaldi starts. Might as well start with a W today.

Really need to keep it up and win tonight. Two in a row at Minute Maid a tough ask for this team.

We hit Eovaldi pretty well in game 2. Tonight's game is HUGE though. Win and you just need to win 1 of 2 at home. Lose and you'd have to win back to back at home

Abreu has more playoff home runs as an Astro than Biggio or Bagwell.


Update:

Abreu has as many playoff home runs as an Astro as Biggio and Bagwell combined.

Just really hurts losing to that team with those fans. I mean half of the Astro fans barely even behave like humans, they're freaking Neanderthals.
We aren't that bad are we?

ARE WE????

A few Ranger fans are definitely at the "bargaining" stage.


Which is sad, because they are far from out of this series.

Maybe it's cause I live this situation. My wife is Venezuelan. Her parents speak English and have for a long, long time. But they still get embarrassed sometimes speaking English when they feel they don't have the grasp of what they really want to say. And that's with me. Their son in law. I can't imagine what a lot of these guys are feeling talking to the media.
Rules, dammit. Rules
plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
