>the jap got the widest arsenal of meme pitches known to man
>he falls for two-sinkers
>>76027888
Haha I'd love Astros for World Series when go to fell first place from 8th through 9th. I never did Correa because from the back to go with leadoff of Altuve sometimes I did yes. Springer homers from both to never with that and to do look like it.

Good post
>fairball
Wtf, what did it hit?
lel wat
Based Yanimal getting meme hits
is zimmer gay? He looks gay.
Well what the fuck. STO isn't on Spectrum anymore? I can't watch any Indians games now.
>that throw to home plate
Donpisha!
Reddick just saved Fiers from what would've ended up as a 6+ run inning
>did anyone say
LOS ASTROS DE HOUSTON

Based Kipnis
>>76028567
For me it's the Índios de Cleveland
>mfw Keuchel goes on the DL right before I go see him pitch Monday night
What did she mean by this?
lets go stros bullpen
>Fiers only giving up one run through 3 (THREE) full innings
>>76027853
LES GO STROS
>>76028233
Fiers is doing better than expected DESU
His last start may have been a disaster, but I love Clevinger.
>>76028864
>Clevinger hasn't walked anyone yet
What kind of fever dream is this game?
It's gonna be one of those really rare Fiers starts where he gives up very few runs through the first several innings, but doesn't get any support and ends up blowing the game wide open in the 6th and >we score a bunch in the late innings but fall just short
It's over, brehs
Coach interviews go like:
>It's a team that plays hard ball. They play good. We like that. Their pitcher got some killing fastballs and our team is prepared for that. We are 0.387 against fastball pitchers who don't have a wide arsenal. This is going to be a good game, I hope.
And then they show:
>It's a team that plays hard ball. They play good. We like that. [...]
and cut to
>This is going to be a good game [...]
when will manlet shortstops learn?
>>76028980
Idk but Clevinger looks /Aesthetic/ as fuck. With that long hair he looks like an Indian
>>76029003
Don't lose hope just yet senpai
I believe in our manlet and Springer. Also, it's nice having Beltran swatting at pitches left and right. We need more of that from our sluggers
>>76027888
Aaaannnd there's the old Fiers, right on schedule
Chisenhall? More like Jizz-in-all (of my holes).
>that budweiser deck
So comfy.
CHISENGOD EDITION CONFIRMED
>>76029100
If he allows 4 runs it'll be run-of-the-mill Fiers.
If he keeps this a 2 run game I'll honestly be impressed, but not a lot.
Big Lonnie with a Big fly
>>76029067
I believe too, but Fiers just won't keep the team in the game. It's demoralizing to watch him give up crucial dingers every start and then talk about how he's working on not giving up the longball in interviews. Nothing is changing. He goes out there every start and just hurts his team.
And Beltran will pick up eventually, but I'm getting tired of his "work the count full, then strike out swinging" philosophy.
I just wanna see the guys that play their hearts out not get let down by the guys who play like trash.
Not trying to be a downer, I'm just grumpy from work.
>>76029139
>4 dingers in the last 6 games
WE GOT A BASERUNNER!!!
>Edwin at first
>>76029247
I feel you 100% senpai we are in the same boat. We desperately need to trade Fiers.
Yesterday I think the Indians caught Morton at the right time, but he needs to get more clutch like Keuchel.
Clevinger is legit
>>76027853
>orange
?
>>76029335
Alternate unis should be banned tbqh
>>76029323
you jinxed it; thank you
>>76029335
I just guessed. Yesterday they wore orange when I guessed white.
>>76029377
Did somebody say no-hitter?
>>76029398
>official team accounts that don't post unis for every game
>>76029359
I wish >we never wore the orange jerseys.
They stopped wearing them for some reason, but they used to have orange hats that they'd wear with their regular home whites with orange socks and undershirts. It looked great and I wish they'd go back to that for the alts.
>>76029398
Astros wear white for all home games but Friday nights (orange) and Sunday afternoons (navy blue/rainbow stripes). Understandable confusion though.
>>76029103
i used to call him jizzenballs, but nobody ever responded to my posts
>>76029479
I want the MF rainbow stripes back
>>76029479
I love when teams have a schedule.
>>76029434
Indians haven't been tweeting the threads as much lately.
>>76029479
I remember you gays used to have this orange and blue and white uniform that made everyone on the team look like gas station attendants. you should bring those back.
>we base stealing now
This is turning up a fun game.
>>76029588
Which one? Sorry we had a lot...
>tfw Zimmer is not a bust
>>76029513
This x100
Left on Sundays and right W/orange hats on Fridays would be amazing
Well at least Fiers has only allowed 2 so far.
>>76029643
GOAT uniform, my RTTS pitcher got drafted by the Astros and It's the only Unis I choose
>>76029616
something like this, but not quite as homosexual.
>>76029643
It's seriously the kind of stuff gas station employees were up here.
>>76029516
True, instead they've been triggering people with that male romper.
>>76029643
Those rainbow stripes and the star are iconic astros.
Worst uniforms were those knock off yankees pinstripe garbage. Our current ones are alright but the rainbow stripes were GOAT.
Someone needs to let Luhnow or somebody know so we can get back to stylin and profilin'
>>76029709
>yfw white sox have a romper uni next season
>>76029755
They basically had one in the 70's I think with those shorts.
>not bringing in marWIN to break up the no-no
Disgusting
>>76029727
I agree, but I'm also very partial to the shooting star jerseys
Clevinger is going to pitch a no hitter and these dubs confirm it.
>>76029832
Shooting Star
Rainbow Stripes/Star
Top 2 for sure
>>76029841
there's no way they'd let him pitch an entire game, even if he was doing great.
>>76029853
You understand that rainbows are now synonymous with gay men, right?
>cleavage no hits >us through 8 1/3

>when all of your main beat writers (except Paul "on this date the Indians' postseason hopes ended before it started" Hoynes) are at a wedding this weekend
>>76029936
Yellow/orange/red rainbow isn't the gay rainbow; besides, it's kinda gay to mentally associate fags with a naturally occurring phenomena of light refraction.
>>76030002
Just to clarify, the Astros rainbow is to signify the Astrossexual movement.
>>76030029
>I sexually identify with stars
>>76030002
so be sure to write a disclaimer on the uniforms from now on, "Not the Gay Rainbow™"
the tequila sunrise jerseys are the most hetero uniforms in pro sports history
>>76030057
That would work buuuuut I'm sure it's already trademarked by now
>Indians 15-0 when leading after 6 innings
>>76030119
that second base umpire looks like the parts guy at my local tractor dealership who hung himself.
CHALLENGE WIN
This is my least favorite game so far this year
>>76030212
Cowboy Joe West
>>76030225
because of the lack of gay uniforms?
>>76030225
Same
Hey Indians! Trade you Fiers for Clevinger :^)
>>76030244
I think clevinger has been our only semi-reliable arm so far this year. Go fuck your grandad.
>We are putting Tony Slipp in

I've literally been watching this entire game without sound on and didn't even realize he has a no-hitter
>Sipp
Well there goes any shot of a comeback
Save us, Jose
THANK
YOU

Welp

Based Clevinger
>>76030482

dumb fucking commercial always has me thinking that they're giving tongue baths and ball massages to get people to buy cars from park.

Thank you based Slamtana
>this game
Someone forgot to set the alarm on our bats and now they're comatose
>>76030760
Got u senpai
Please take advantage of this managerial mistake, you fools
Clevinger has been pitching impressively but it's risky going into the 8th like this
It's over, Clevinger.
Now watch Miller come out here and blow the game
I feel it brehs
They can still come back
Homeless slider man pls shut them down
>>76030844
>44
Nothin personnel, losedians
>>76030892
just for that, I'm going to post a very stingingly nasty post when we win this game.
>>76030915
is he really that bad?
>>76030967
Yeah he's awful
>>76030967
He's kind of like cody allen, he loads the bags like a fuckhead, but he always works out of it.
*teleports behind you*
Heh nothing personnel
*Strikes you out*
>>76030915
>>76031001
>loads the bags like a fuckhead
>Miller
This could not be more wrong.
please force extras
Pls close this game out Chicken Al

Disappointed as fuck that our bats did nothing but a single or two. Almost got no hitter on our ass smdh
