Official Houston Astros Thread (scouts, jersey, pro, expansion)

Great to see Yuli Gurriel come alive in the 1st inning, getting 3 on the board to set the tone. Exciting game, like how Altuve got the job done in the 9th without going into extra innings. Seeing how the Yankees played against the Twins, and how the Astros had trouble putting away the Rays, the Astro win tonight is a pleasant surprise, congratulations Houston Astros! What a ball game!

Bring on the Nationals, more souls to be crushed, you people from back east have a lock on football with the soul crushing Patriots, last season....cough cough....Chiefs....cough cough. Last year.....cough cough....Big Green Monster eats Dodgers.........cough cough.

I'm not wanting to see any baby sharks grow up to be killers.

Actually, mofford, the Astros were expected to get this far. It was a good Yankees team, but Houston came out and did some incredible things (and should have done more on the basepads). On now to the World Series and the Nat'nals.

Yet he hit the F-ing winning Home Run to negate Springer's easily doable catch. So mad at Springer.

Did you know Willie Mays was only 5'10", and Mel Ott was 5'9".

Congratulations to the Astros once again. I didn't think tonight's game would be epic, but it ended up that way. Now, they wait for the Nationals to come to town, and it's The Big Showdown. Let's get fired up!

Most baseball fans are happy tonight. Congrats to the Astros. The good guys won tonight.

^^^^ Beautiful, tasty stuff.

That's what baseball's all about.

Have you heard the Spanish version of the home run call? It’s very cool, and I don’t speak Spanish! It’s on the MLB app on the Astros page.
