Harper didn't mean to do that. Way too bang-bang to formulate any sort of intent. The throw short l-hopped the catcher so the catcher didn't have the ability to position himself well for the tag.

Remember the bang bang play that Jake was in? Didn't stop MLB from calling him out either.

I honestly hope this the fuse that lights our fire at home, we need a match and some gasoline for our home games, maybe this is it !

If you could add any former Astro to this current lineup to help win a WS who would it be? I’ll start: Nolan Ryan

98 Randy Johnson coming out of the pen tomorrow

Mike Scott

This is an interesting one. Y'all are gunna hate my answer but… Cole. A lot of of the pitchers from even 15-30 years ago aren't as nasty as the current ones. I'd take him over a lot of HOFers.

If it's position player, then how about Correa. He can't move like Pena but his defense is still very good. That arm is a weapon and you trust his bat more.

2019 Cole was my other option. But I thought lefty would be awesome to face Seager, Carter and Lowe

1986 Mike Scott was unhittable at the end.

1979 JRR or early 1980 JRR before the stroke.

Unpossible. None of us on this thread were Astros fans before 2017.

Surprised Gallen is still in

I was at Game 6 in 1986. Skipped class at A&M and drove down for it. Loved me some Billy Hatcher.

Side note, I've never been to a playoff or bowl game of any sort since. Won't do it.

He may get suspended for putting hands on the umpire. Probably not though…

---

Don't kid yourself. Manfred will probably give him a spot bonus in the form of a bj. No suspension will ever come to Garcia. Abreu on the other hand will get a 3 game suspension. Because the MLB hates the Astros

---

Called it. Only off by one game. My only question is, will Manfred be blowing Garcia before the conclusion of the postseason or after?

The amount of hate the Astros continue to receive from the MLB is disgraceful. Open the ******* Yankees letter, you spineless ****s.

Garcia is charged with NOTHING, despite the fact that he grabbed Maldy and two umpires, escalated the entire situation which COULD have led to physical altercations, and then ran around again and charged at Maldy as if he was going to throw down. It's like saying the guy at the bar who pushed a bunch of people leading to a bar fight after getting beer spilled on him by accident isn't at fault.

Can't wait until Manfred has to hand us another title while his disingenuous snake ass gets booed relentlessly by our fans.

Im adding prime Bagwell. You guys are in crack to think otherwise…

Well Randy Johnson wouldn't suck.

---

1994 Bagwell. Without the broken hand and strike he would have had a real shot at Hack Wilson's RBI record.

---

You know, this raises a good question. If the '94 season had played out and the Astros went to post season (and he didn't break his hand) would he have broken through and maybe never have had that playoff monkey on his back? He was such a wrecking machine that year.

As Bregman would say, we'll never know.

---

That 1994 season projected to 216 hits, 57 HR, 171 RBI and 153 runs. That would have been the single greatest combo season ever. Maybe the single greatest offensive season ever. What could have been. . .

His OPS that year was 1.200

And lest we forget, that was in the Dome.

Schwarber is up to 20 career postseason homers? Did teams forget that he likes to strike out?
