>people in Houston are finally starting to care about the Astros again

someone I knew who seriously thought they were relegated to AAA is now a big fan. On one hand I'm happy they're getting more support, on the other hand, fuck you fairweather fags for not caring until they're doing well.

Fuck the Rangers etc

I've seen more people in Astros gear lately than any time since October 2005. It's pretty nice to see tbqh.
A lot of fans became "dormant" for a while--in other words, still followed the the team, but didn't really want to support them or talk about them for several years because there wasn't really anything good happening. Now that >we finally have a good team again, the hardcore fans are going wild and the casuals are becoming more interested. The only true bandwagoners around here are just Texans fans that just happen to be taking an interest in baseball.

I feel like im watching jap leagues with all the chinks and chinks hit

Oof. There were some pitches to hit there. I'm confident he'll be picked up soon enough tho.

Who the fuck are you? I've been an Astros season ticket holder for 15 years. Longer than you've been alive, kid. Too bad my season tickets are worth about 6 jar of pickles because the Astros fucking blow it every year. I know your type. You're a Houstonian who just oh so loves baseball season, right? You go to the game, probably with your bf, snap some pictures, take some selfies, eat a hot dog, and just LOVE watching the Astros lose. Guess what, I FUCKING DON'T. Take your fake ass back to The Woodlands bitch. I speak nothing but the truth. This team is filled with perennial failures, beaners, white trash with disgusting beards, and worst of all, accountants and gardeners who held Jim Crane at knifepoint and demanded jerseys and are now hoodwinking an entire city.

It really depends on the minority. I wouldn't want to live in a black neighborhood at all my dude, but I like the Mexican neighborhood I live in a lot more than the white neighborhood I lived in growing up. Maybe it's just recency bias but I hate all the redneck A&M trash that've been elevated due to a good economy. It just reminds me too much of Dallas desu.

>>76287800
>this mad because your shit team can't play refball

>>76287808
It depends on the Mexican neighborhood. I live in a nice, upper class white one, but some relatives of mine live in a more working-class Mexican neighborhood. It's not at all a bad place though. People do their job and there's a lot of old hispanics there that have been here for decades. You definitely don't want to end up in one of those drug dealing/gang type spic neighborhoods though.

If I'll give Dallas anything they have pretty decent tap water. The stuff here is fucking nasty

can't take it anymore. This team will always fucking suck. The last time the Astros had a good balance of offense and pitching was back in 2005 and they made it to the world series. Lost, per usual. Since then it's just been grab ass and intentional tanking and scooping up beaners from everywhere. I can never trust this team. And that fucking faggot Strom pisses me off more than my ex girlfriend who slept with another man and gave me genital warts. This fucking faggot can't make his pitchers be accountable for ANYTHING!!!!!!!!

At the very least, they're making Yu pitch a lot

>not wanting Fiers to start in the world series

>>76288090
His wife's name is Won Mi Ha.

>>76288065
I expect a middle-of-the-rotation guy at this point. This team has staying power, and Keuchel-McCullers-McHugh + Devenski/Harris in October is already formidable. There's no need to dump off all the top prospects for an ace, even though that would be nice to have. I think they will make at least one deal, but it's not gonna be a blockbuster.

>>76288111
My name is Kim Jong-Nam.

>>76288111

>>76288085

Fiers can start a WS

>>76288174
Fiers is horrid. Bottom of the barrel pitching.

Keuchel is throwing a no-hitter but I feel like the Rangers are playing better

>>76288182
As true as that is, UT IDIOT TRANSFER can't seem to get it through his head. Spaceman has proven him wrong over and over again but he just won't accept how awful Fiers is.

>>76288197
In what universe? At least the Astros have consistently gone on base even if they haven't scored yet.

>>76288210

I don't think he's good, he's just gives a solid 4 runs every game which houstons batting can deal with

also >>76288098

>>76288217
Rangers are just a better team and play well at home. And this is coming from an Astros fan

>>76288252
I know you're just memeing, but you don't want to start off a world series game with a 4 run handicap because your pitcher sucks.

Fiers is a fine regular season pitcher.

He'd most likely be fine in the bullpen pitching 1-2 innings during the postseason.

Right. Fiers is fine for post-season bullpen. You don't want him actually pitching like 5 innings in a world series game. You're just asking to get smacked. We don't need 3 aces, but 2 aces + 1 solid middle guy would help a lot.

>>76288392
I dunno. I'm worried about McHugh not coming back. He keeps getting delayed. It was originally only going to be 6 weeks which got pushed back some more. Plus, he hasn't even pitched in a real game yet. What if he comes back and it's a disaster? I know there's still plenty of time left, but you probably want to get another middle guy as insurance.

For a number 5 spot, I feel like I'd take Musgrove over Fiers just because Musgrove seems to have less variable.

fantastic game so far tbqh

>>76288590
Which should've been caught

>>76288597
To be fair, that ball was kinda tricky.

>>76288465
I don't think we should trade for an ace if McHugh sucks, we should just grab a solid 4-5 man. Someone who pitches an ERA of around 3.75-4 pretty consistently and has postseason experience to make sure they don't get rattled.
Keuchel-McCullers-Morton is a pretty potent 1-2-3, but I'd like to have a less shaky backend in case one of those pieces falters.

>>76288610
>>76288597

Yeah that ball was on the line

Hard to think of that as an error

>>76288597
This game being a no-hitter would've been just perfect

>>76288616

Peacock musgrove fiers really isn't really costing them the season though.

Regardless we could use some bullpen guys

>>76288610
Still shoulda been caught. Props to Reddick for not letting it get to him and keeping that last inning alive though. Gotta respect his attitude.

>>76288616
Remember that Paulino and Martes are both potentially about a year away from being good big league starters. Brady Aiken has ace potential in the next few years also. The pitching side of things is looking like it's just gonna keep getting better.
