Sources indicate the team made a quick flight to Cincinnati after the game to grab some dinner and clear their heads and made it back to Houston safely for bed




I’m also hearing that if we are victorious, Miss Carol will be making a surprise appearance on the post game show. Hoping Ryno can reach out to some of @ASTROSBAW’s contacts to confirm if this is true





Win or go home. Less 5 pitch innings, more runs plz

Astros get the dub today. Been here too many times to lay down after one bad game against a stellar pitcher.

I'm a little worried about Miss Carol. I didn't hear what was wrong, but this morning, they were talking about keeping her in their prayers.

God Bless Miss Carol!!!

Did Mac not get the Nuns? He better have some Sisters out there today!

As I described yesterday, this situation is set up to be hugely advantageous to the Astros. Detroit doesn't have anything remotely resembling Skubal left that they can throw the next 2 days. Who does a bullpen game in game 2 of a playoff series?? And the Astros have more than enough superior pitching to cover 18 innings.

The Astros should win the next two easily and advance.

But if they don't, I'm at peace with it. Because if they do lose one of the next two, it will be due to reasons that we all knew would eventually doom them at some point anyway.

What I was saying in the other thread, but worded better

When you have the bullpen they do, using JW today is not a disadvantage in a short series, IMO

Best record in MLB since mid Aug. They didn't do that throwing Skubal every game. Their lineup has something ours doesn't, WANT

Of course I'm not referring to the bottom of ours. Their issue is LOFT. You golfers will know what I mean.

I generally pull for the Astros but I am here for the side entertainment of watching the melt in this thread. I also enjoy the Braves threads for the same reason.

I don't think there will be much melt in here if we lose. Those who have been watching this team all year are well aware of its flaws. We have the pitching to make a deep run, but the Jekyll and Hyde lineup and terrible home playoff performance were well known.

They're the 2015 Astros and it's not yet their time! This should be their practice run. We need them to sit down and wait a few years.

The backup catcher is the regular first baseman in the playoffs. What a spectacular organizational failure.
