Houston Astros

Astros win again, down by a game in the division
:)


coming down to the series in Houston

[regaleagle]

I doubt if either team sweeps the other in this series. If Texas can get out of Houston with a split, then I think that's good with them. Anything worse than that is bad for the team chemistry at this point in the season, imo.

[GUNHO]

Great way to end a season.Both teams control their on fate.

[Saggy Aggie]

If the Astros can win against the Angels again, they just about guarantee that LAA are not gonna make the playoffs.

The only team left that could challenge for the 2nd wild card spot is the twins, but even that is a bit of a long shot.

The opposite side of that coin though is that it the Angels can win, they're right back in it. They cannot afford to lose another game though

[Saggy Aggie]

I am 0/3 against the Angels and trout when in attendance this year :/

[regaleagle]

Rangers comeback against the A's and win 8-6. Back to 2 games up on the Stros. Rangers pound out 12 hits against a pretty salty A's offense tonite.

[coach]

I will buy you a ticket for tonight's game.

[lostaussie]

Houston lost again today

[Roughneck93]

Astros lose 6-5....Angels/Twins 1.5 games back in Wild Card race.

[SintonFan_inAustin]

I will buy you a ticket for tonight's game.lol


I'm 0-3 in Ranger games attended, the last one at Angels stadium the Rangers got one freaking hit!

I was going to Ranger/Astros this weekend but thinking I don't want to jinx them but if Saggy Aggie goes it might just undo it lol!

[Roughneck93]

Houston lost again today

Beat me to it...:)

[regaleagle]

Rangers win again in Oakland tonite 10-3 as they get 11 hits and 3 homers. They go 3 games up on Houston in the AL West. Their magic number is now 8 with 11 games left.

might just decide to go this weekend after all the lead seems safe now.

[regaleagle]

might just decide to go this weekend after all the lead seems safe now.

head to head in a 4-game series with 3 games or less difference is not exactly "safe".

[Saggy Aggie]

I was gonna wait for the playoffs before I bought more tickets but we might not even make the playoffs at this rate....

[lostaussie]

I believe Texas magic number is down to 8

[Deuce]

head to head in a 4-game series with 3 games or less difference is not exactly "safe".

Only 3 left with Stros, but agree that it's not a safe lead!

[Slick50]

This 3 game series starting Friday is make or break for the Stros

[GUNHO]

Every one is taking care of business except Houston.Been # 1 most of the season and now in jepordy of even the wild card.Still control their destiny but have to sweep the Rangers I would think.If not then they have to depend on others to get in.

Seems to me I remember the same thing happening to the Rangers one year against the A's. I think the Rangers had led most of the season, and were way out in front. But the A's got hot and never cooled down, and eventually beat the Rangers head to head at the end of the season and won the division. I think the Rangers still got a wild card, but lost.

[regaleagle]

I think if Houston takes 2 of 3 in the series, they will be right back in the thick of things with about 5 games left. Anything can happen this time of year.....it don't matter who you play. The teams that are out of it will try to ruin it for you, and the ones still in it are playing for a spot. It gets very dicey when divisions and wild cards are all up for grabs for a bunch of teams.

[GUNHO]

No matter what happens they have had a great season that surprised a lot of people including me.It ain't over till it's over.

[Saggy Aggie]

They dont need to win the division to get in. They would be in the playoffs today as the 2nd wild card if it started now, meaning they depend on no one but themselves to get in.

[Farmersfan]

I like the team the Astros have put together. And the Rangers are a complete shock to me. In the beginning I would have bet the Rangers didn't make the post season and then after Yu went out I would have bet almost ANYTHING. But here we are.. Go Rangers...... followed closely by Go Astros!

[slingshot]

Texas clubbing Oakland 6-1 bottom of the 7th inning and going for the sweep... Rangers playing really well right now--pitching coming together, offense has really cranked it up and putting up runs. Honestly don't see Houston or the Angels catching them...

[GUNHO]

They dont need to win the division to get in. They would be in the playoffs today as the 2nd wild card if it started now, meaning they depend on no one but themselves to get in.

I agree but that's today.couple of teams on their heels for that second spot and if they lose to the Rangers they're in deep dodo unless they get help.

[Tejastrue]

Hey Saggy..have I told you lately that karma is a bitch?

[lostaussie]

We have a new magic number........7........7........7, did I say SEVEN:D

[Saggy Aggie]

Hey Saggy..have I told you lately that karma is a bitch?

Lol it ain't over yet bud

[bleedgreen]

Astros play good at home and Rangers play good on the road....somethin's gotta give.

[slingshot]

Astros play good at home and Rangers play good on the road....somethin's gotta give.This. I think the Rangers have a better road record than home record--crazy!

[Roughneck93]

Astros trail 6-0, top 4th...

[lostaussie]

Stros hit 2 run bomb but still trail 6-2 in 4th

[1st and goal]

...have decided to take the months of August and September off.

[95mustang]

Rangers win up 4 1/2 games now.

[regaleagle]

The Stros are in big trouble now with the Angels breathing down their back. If they get swept by the Rangers, then they will be in deep doodoo.....end of story.

Rangers magic number down to 5 now. May have to pull for the Stros tomorrow night.

[lostaussie]

...have decided to take the months of August and September off.Funny, very funny:D

Rangers not going away quietly....

9-7 in the 9th.

[Roughneck93]

Astros hold on, win 9-7.

[Saggy Aggie]

Keuchel pitching today, but already down 1-0

I'm impressed with Odor, he's turned into a much better hitter than I thought he would

[Roughneck93]

:clap:

[Saggy Aggie]

Astros won but Angels hanging tight right behind em

[Saggy Aggie]

Astros win third in a row and the rangers have lost 3 in a row. Division lead is 1.5.

Angels are hot on Houston's ass just 0.5 game behind

[Macarthur]

I told you there was enough time for Houston. This should go down to the last day or two.

[buff4ever]

Stros just need to keep winning. Let angels and rangers beat each other up.

[Aguilafanatico]

Stros just need to keep winning. Let angels and rangers beat each other up.

Big game for Rangers tonight. Hamels needs to come up big as I don't expect Seattle to put up much of a fight in this series. Looks like they have quit. Runnig a scrub out there tonight. Speaking of quit, Is Nellie Cruz trying to stick it to the Rangers or just ready to get back to the DR? 0-4 with 4 K's? Last AB was ridiculous.

[Roughneck93]

Go Stros!

It's gonna get hairy these last few days and you're right Hamels needs a big game tonight.

[GUNHO]

All the Stros need to do is match W/L with the Rangers and Angels and their in right?On the other hand they could still win it all if they take care of their end of things.Rangers and Angels series is huge for Houston and the Rangers.

If they match the W/L of the rangers and laa they will get a wild card for sure. It will depend on what happens in the LAA and texas Series.

[Saggy Aggie]

For the first time in my life, I may actually be pulling for a Dallas team.

I need them to win at least 2 of the 4 against LA. I'll gladly accept a wildcard over not making the playoffs. The twins are still a threat as well, 1 game behind the Angels

[95mustang]

Rangers win, Stros lose, Angels win; Angels now have 1/2 game lead on Stros and 2 back of the Rangers. The series this weekend will be crucial.

[lostaussie]

Astros better become Ranger fans!!!

[SintonFan_inAustin]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CQM3_3pVAAAERME.jpg

[lostaussie]

Astros living on borrowed time. Hate that too. Was hoping they would get wildcard. Maybe they still can.

[Saggy Aggie]

Astros win and Angels lose.

Retake 1/2 game lead for the wildcard

[slingshot]

Astros win and Angels lose.

Retake 1/2 game lead for the wildcardLet's go Stros! That's coming from a Rangers fan... Really want both teams to make the post-season. Guess Saggy will have to be a Rangers booster for the next 4 games. :thinking:

[buff4ever]

Stros got this. Just win and don't put it in anyone else's hands.

[Saggy Aggie]

Go rangers! Currently up 4-2!

Cmon....

[SintonFan_inAustin]

RANGERS WIN!! RANGERS WIN!! Rangers win, 5-3, over the Angels & clinch a postseason berth

[SintonFan_inAustin]

Astros up on the Angels by a game now

[Roughneck93]

Astros up on the Angels by a game now

:2thumbsup

[Saggy Aggie]

These last 2 days is exactly what Houston needed. We need a win tomorrow and another angel loss and it's a done deal?

[buff4ever]

Let's go keuchel

[coach]

These last 2 days is exactly what Houston needed. We need a win tomorrow and another angel loss and it's a done deal?

No, that only puts you up 2 games with two left to play. Yall's magic number is 3. The earliest you can clinch is on Friday.

[coach]

No, that only puts you up 2 games with two left to play. Yall's magic number is 3. The earliest you can clinch is on Friday.

No to mention you have to watch out for the Twins as well. they aren't out of it.

[GUNHO]

Houston needs to take care of their business and root for Texas I would think.Like you said the Twins are still in it too.

[Saggy Aggie]

No, that only puts you up 2 games with two left to play. Yall's magic number is 3. The earliest you can clinch is on Friday.

2 game lead with 2 left to play would at least guarantee us a play in game...

[SintonFan_inAustin]

IF Astros, Angels and Twins finish tied for last playoff spot this is the scenario:

Angels have the best winning percentage between them 3 against each other so get to pick which scenario they want for the play in game or games:

Scenario 1: Twins at Astros Game 1 and Angels get winner of that game but at game 1 winner

Scenario 2: Twins at Angels Game 1 and Astros get winner of that game at game 1 winner

[Saggy Aggie]

Astros doing their part, up 5-0 with Keuchel pitching.

Angels/Rangers tied at 1 in the 8th...

[Saggy Aggie]

Make that 6-0....

Cmon rangers!

[Saggy Aggie]

Damnit rangers.....

[buff4ever]

Well, stros did there part. Keep it up tomorrow.

[Saggy Aggie]

Astros scored 21 runs last night.... ***....

[SintonFan_inAustin]

Rangers tie it up 5-5 :)

[SintonFan_inAustin]

Rangers tie it up 5-5 :)Ranger blow a 4 run lead in the top of 9th :(

10-10 top 9th still

[SintonFan_inAustin]

Rangers down now 11-10

[Roughneck93]

:foul:

[SintonFan_inAustin]

:foul:
+1 :(

[Saggy Aggie]

*** rangers.... This is why I hate you.

[Roughneck93]

With a win tonight, Stros would clinch at least a tie for the second Wild Card spot. If Astros and Angels end up tied, one game playoff on Monday in Houston.

Houston can still end up with a share of the division title with wins tonight and tomorrow along with another Rangers loss. If Astros and Rangers end up tied, tiebreaker would be played Monday in Arlington. Winner gets the division, loser gets the second Wild Card.

Fun times....

http://m.mlb.com/news/article/152882188/astros-in-drivers-seat-for-postseason-spot

[Saggy Aggie]

Astros up 1-0

[Blue42]

Go Stros

[Saggy Aggie]

2-0!

[Saggy Aggie]

Astros win 6-2... They clinch at least a tie-break game.

If they win tomorrow, they eliminate the Angels.

If the Rangers win, they eliminate the Angels.

The Astros still have a chance to win the division and/or the first wild card I believe

[regaleagle]

Down to the wire.

[Roughneck93]

Go Stros!

[Saggy Aggie]

Rangers with a 3-2 lead,

Houston down 2-1, but gattis batting in a huge spot. Bases loaded, 1 out in the 5th

Yankees down 5-1, so things getting real interesting....

[Saggy Aggie]

Astros tie it up 2-2

[regaleagle]

Now Astros down 3-2.

[Roughneck93]

Rangers extending their lead....9-2.

[regaleagle]

Bigtime bottom of the 7th. They should have won last night, but the wheels came off in the 9th. 6 more outs to a ALWest title. Rangers have the best record in baseball since the All-Star break. Put on a helluva run to end this season. Stros played well most of the season, but have faltered at times down the stretch.

[SintonFan_inAustin]

3 more outs

[Saggy Aggie]

Qualls gives up a 2 run bomb to goldschmidt with first base open and home field during the wild card on the line. Our worst pitcher vs an MVP candidate. Give me one good reason to pitch to him....

Qualls sucks. I'm gonna dig up some old hate posts of mine

[Saggy Aggie]

I'm 0/2 now :-(

But it's not fault. Qualls sucks. Everyone knows that. Let's put him in a clutch situation against the best hitter in the league. How's that gonna turn out for us? I think we all knew...

Here's one....

[regaleagle]

It's truly a great day at The Ballpark in Arlington. Been there, done that before......but this year with this team and this Manager......nothing but Kudos. Toronto better look out. The Rangers are playing better baseball right now than the Blue Jays.....and they smoked every team in Won/Loss record this season.

[Saggy Aggie]

still not over

3 more outs but top of the lineup coming

[Saggy Aggie]

Unfortunate hit by springer, he tagged that ball

Astros play the Yankees for the wild card...

I had tickets if it was in Houston but it isn't :(

[SintonFan_inAustin]

was hoping for Houston comeback was looking up playoff tickets if they won. Well, have to get it done in NY.

Who is on the mound for the Astros?

This ump is calling a great game IMO

[Roughneck93]

Gomez!

[Saggy Aggie]

Keuchel is pitching great, but pitch count is getting up there early working on 3 days rest. I'm wondering if he's going to hold up. Our bullpen scares the crap out of me

[SintonFan_inAustin]

Tanaka out after 5

[briandumith*]

This is one Rangers fan that wants Houston to beat New York... but honestly I would want Russia to beat New York I hate New York

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

[Saggy Aggie]

Please don't take him out yet.... But if you do, Anybody but qualls.....

[Saggy Aggie]

Left him in and he closes it out. He left that pitch to Arod in the middle of the plate and he just missed it plain and simple. I'll take it though

[SintonFan_inAustin]

Please don't take him out yet.... But if you do, Anybody but qualls.....
LOL!!! had a feeling you'll be pissed if Qualls came in. Looks like one more inning for Keuchel tops

[Roughneck93]

Yes, huge run right there.

[Saggy Aggie]

Altuve with the RBI base hit and stolen base :)

[Saggy Aggie]

I'll be holding my breath these next 9 outs....

Bullpen has been terrible since the all star break

[Roughneck93]

6 more outs....

[Saggy Aggie]

Awesome job by sipp to get out of the 7th. Filthy pitch on that strikeout

[Roughneck93]

3 more outs....

[Saggy Aggie]

Will Harris with the 1/2/3 8th...

Gregerson in the 9th and it's always a struggle for him...

[movethechain]

'Stros making it look easy.

[Saggy Aggie]

Gregerson with the handlebars... Classic.

[Cam]

Nice! Go Stros!.....looks like Rasmus and Gomez tanakad enough home runs to win it.....

...it's cool to see my new neighbor (Houston bench coach Trey Hillman) in the thick of things......I told my young lefty he better go introduce himself to Mr. Hillman when season is over!...Maybe get some pointers.....:D

[Roughneck93]

Awesome!

On to KC....

[GUNHO]

Yes yes yes

[Saggy Aggie]

What a day to be an Astros fan. It's been 10 long years.... See yall in KC...

nevermind the Astros win.....how bout that Jessica Mendoza?....that gal knows baseball!!!!.......

I was wondering when someone was going to mention her. She did good. Gave a little spice to the 'cast, where we are used to hearing monotone monologue between a couple of guys who have called probably 100 games already this year and she did know her stuff. Could have been somebody in her ear with the great info, but it's hard to fake some things and she didn't seem fake at all.

The female announcer was pretty darn good. I kept saying to myself, "How the heck does she know this stuff?" She was making some great insightful comments mostly about batting that you don't get from a Tim McCarver/Mike Buck broadcast.

[regaleagle]

Far out, baby! Rangers won too. When's that ever happened before? Never, I think. Can't ever remember the Rangers and the Stros making the playoffs in the same year, much less in the same division, lol.

[regaleagle]

BTW, celebrating my birthday on Friday Oct. 9th. GO EAGLES!!!

Colby Rasmus is officially a Houston Astro. What a gamer!

[Saggy Aggie]

He's been clutch AF

[PurplePop]

"This is a [bleeping] blast, man," Rasmus told reporters after the game.
Gotta love it.

[slingshot]

Not bad for two teams from 'a football state'...

[Roughneck93]

Ouch...Cain got all of that one.

1-0 KC

[regaleagle]

Bottom of the 5th. Houston down 1-0 so far. Walks the first Astro batter to start this inning off. Sorry there is one out. Now a hit to left field has runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out. First time today that the Astros threaten.

[Roughneck93]

Yes!!

[Roughneck93]

Castro...2 RBIs

[regaleagle]

Castro up now. Altuve on deck. Castro needs to put the bat on the ball, but Lopez is pitching well for the Royals today. He hits it up the middle for his first hit in the series. Both runners score on the one out RBI clutch hit. Stros up 2-1 and one out with Altuve up and Castro on first.

[regaleagle]

Altuve hits into a double play to end the inning. Houston takes the lead 2-1. Top of the 6th upcoming.

[Roughneck93]

Keuchel holds....

[Roughneck93]

Nice AB by Correa.

[Roughneck93]

I'm ordering an Altuve and Correa jersey too 💕
