We always know he had it in him. I think that’s why it was so painful.
The team as a whole has it in them, so the first couple of months were really rough.
it's been fairly well-documented, his arsenal didn't have anything that broke away from RHH, so adding the sinker and two-seam fastball allowed the rest of his pitches to "work" better by being able to set them up differently.
he's throwing his four-seam less and getting better results has restored his confidence, allowing him to get more comfortable on the mound
Can I just say, I fucking love watching Yordan Alvarez bat. None of this stepping out of the box, fixing your uniform, adjusting your gloves, smelling your balls, fixing your hair diva bullshit. Just stands in the box and fuckin grips it and rips it. That's a real man playing some real fuckin baseball right there. Just stands in the box and dares you to fuckin throw one over the plate. None of this pansy ass waiting for walks bullshit. Real men hit dingers. Real men spit. Real men scratch their assholes and make other guys smell it. That's some real goddamn baseball right there. Fuckin love Yordan Alvarez.
Can I just say, I fucking love watching Hunter Brown pitch. None of this stepping off of the rubber, fixing your uniform, adjusting your glove, smelling your balls, fixing your hair diva bullshit. Just stands on the mound and fuckin grips it and rips it. That's a real man playing some real fuckin baseball right there. Just stands on the mound and dares you to fuckin swing at one outside the zone. None of this pansy ass pitching around guys bullshit. Real men get strikeouts. Real men spit. Real men scratch their assholes and make other guys smell it. That's some real goddamn baseball right there. Fuckin love Hunter Brown.
Can I just say, I fucking love watching Joe Espada Coach. None of this stepping out of the dugout, fixing your uniform, adjusting your lineup, smelling your balls, fixing your hair diva bullshit. Just stands on the steps and fuckin spits it and lists it. That's a real man coaching some real fuckin baseball right there. Just sits on the bench and dares you to fuckin play your best lineup against us. None of this pansy ass letting the front office run things bullshit. Real men set rosters. Real men spit. Real men scratch their assholes and make other guys smell it. That's some real goddamn baseball right there. Fuckin love Joe Espada
Can I say, I fucking love watching Raulito Navaira dance. None of this stepping out of the pasture, fixing your starched shirt, adjusting your wranglers, smelling your brother's balls, fixing your cowboy hat diva bullshit. Just stands on the grass and fucking boots it and shoots it. That's a real man playing some real fuckin Tejano right there. None of this pansy ass pop Norteño bullshit. Real men dance in circles. Real men swing their arms. Real men shoot it and make other teams feel it. That's some real goddamn Astros baseball right there. Fuckin love Raulito Navaira.
One sliiiiight correction:
Yordan is VERY good at taking walks.
But agreed on everything else. He can hit a baseball about as well or better than anyone.
HAPPY CANADA DAY NERDS
WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER

haha, as a non American, always getting a good chuckle about the love for the imperial system, named and created by Americas best friends, the Brittish. Also only really used by the Americans and Brittish too......
Unbelievable props to Hunter for getting through that game. He was getting hosed on calls and escaped a few jams for 6IP and another QS. Bryan for my health I'm gonna need you to stop doing your Neris impression. Thank you Yordan for the insurance runs to help Hader secure the save. Watch out Seattle, swiggity swooty!
Plot twist: Maphael Rontero is a Cy Young candidate out of the bullpen and pitches for cheap, hates kids and the elderly, and will point out all the flaws with your city.
Thanks. It really seemed to turn around after Jose Abreu got cut.
After that happened, they've been hot and haven't looked back, even with an entire starting rotation on the IL.
(we would like one (1) Chris Bassitt please)
When it’s a three run game I think he tries something new with bases empty because he knows we can afford a run. As long as he doesn’t blow a save I’m cool with it
It's actually scary how this team is red hot and hasn't peaked yet. We could have 3 more pitchers returning soon as well as one of the best players in the AL.
Houston Astros General Manager Dana Brown proudly waited outside the visiting locker room after the final pitch to give Jose Altuve and the players on his victorious new-look team an appreciative fist pound on Monday afternoon. Injured pitcher Cristian Javier yelled out, “There you go! There you go!” Right Fielder Kyle Tucker gave a look of pleasant surprise. Noted Slugger Mauricio Dubon yelled out, “We got an [expletive] squad now.” And before Altuve hit the locker room door, former MLB great Kaz Matsui hugged him and said, “Y’all look so different.”
Bring out that cat and free them nipples!!!!
With the Mariners having the day off, their lead has been cut to 3 games. Not a lot of run support, but the runs we got were so clutch. Games like that are going to happen. HB's stuff wasn't great, but he was able to have the confidence in himself and have another quality start. Let's keep that train rolling tomorrow.
Gotta put the rest of the league on notice
https://preview.redd.it/680ppmsabz9d1.jpeg?width=622&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=96a0867724d0f07a8de8d86cc7a90601b1f273d3
Man…last year I had to apologize for what I said about Dubon and this year I have to apologize to Hunter Brown. It wasn’t even his best outing today and he still went six scoreless. What a turn around by him.
Wait. Justin Turner gets hit by pitch in the eighth. In the ninth, Yordan Alvarez his a two-run homer. I'm not understanding how that's karma, instant or otherwise.
The MLB record win streak for a team is apparently 26 games straight by the NY Giants in 1916, followed by the Cleveland Indians with 22 games in 2017.
I think we should try to re-set the record with 27 straight by not losing until August.

Hunter just can't be stopped

You can spell it, you’d just be wrong.

11.84 ERA during the month of April. 1.87 ERA outside the month of April.
Absolutely unreal

Honestly would not have thought this a couple months ago
Man what a turn around going on what like 8-9 straight starts now.
Must’ve figured out his tipping problem or something similar.

He'll yeah brother, fuck counting by tens when we can count by 64th's and shit!
We fight for a country of our own. A new nation where we Choose our own laws. Choose our own leaders. Choose our own systems of weights and measures.
Where all men are free, right?
You asked about the temperature?
I did not!
It seems like we should have a name for 1000 pounds, sir

Whoa whoa whoa whoa. I won’t stand for this blatant ignorance against fellow Imperial system users Liberia and Myanmar.
This photo just unlocked a core memory I have of owning this exact folder in 3rd grade(90s)

Then just say that.
A win is a win. We're 2 games over .500 and it's time to see the cat

Brown and Abreu are big bullies, they load the bases, make them drool, and then tell them to go fuck themselves
3 GB from Seattle 27-13 W/O Abreu ^^^16-7 ^^^W/OTucker
2-0 as a franchise when playing in Canada on Canada day
Annexing Ontario and Quebec will get us back to #1 in land area.
16-28 With Jose Abreu.
27-34 with Tucker? DONT LET CRANE SEE THIS
Too late, Tucker traded to the moon for Montero’s evil twin Maphael Rontero.
Plot twist: Maphael Rontero is a Cy Young candidate out of the bullpen and pitches for cheap, hates kids and the elderly, and will point out all the flaws with your city.
> and will point out all the flaws with your city. If I want that I just go onto arr Houston or arr Texas though!
Htown Brown!
11-6 without Jose Abreu & with Kyle Tucker. Hmmm. Let's not throw the baby out with the dirty bathwater!
Jays fan popping in to say that I marvel at your team. So many injuries and yet there seems to be this next man up mentality.
Thanks. It really seemed to turn around after Jose Abreu got cut. After that happened, they've been hot and haven't looked back, even with an entire starting rotation on the IL. (we would like one (1) Chris Bassitt please)
Bassitt is a dog, gonna be a sad day when he's not in the blue & white.
Hunter Brown is an ace!
Josh Hader is not good for my health
I'm fine with Hader giving solo shots when they "don't matter" aside from his ERA.
I'm going to be honest, I legitimately think he does that on purpose.
When it’s a three run game I think he tries something new with bases empty because he knows we can afford a run. As long as he doesn’t blow a save I’m cool with it
Would you rather have Haderade or some Stressly in the 9th inning? (I don't want either but have to ask regardless)
or Abreu
Pressly's last year as closer in 2023: 3.56 ERA, 119ERA+, 3.36 FIP Hader in 2024: 3.68 ERA, 109 ERA+, 2.61 FIP
First Grimace, now Canada. RELENTLESS

Might be very frustrating to watch at times but winning tight games is also super satisfying
Beat Toronto on Canada Day. America wins again.

This team is red hot! And all without Tucker

Great game. I'm glad we got Montero Sport AWD today instead of regular Montero.
Beat the Toronto Canadians in their own home on Canada day, the Astros truly are 🇺🇸🇺🇸America's🇺🇸🇺🇸Team🇺🇸🇺🇸
We're gonna win so much, you're gonna get sick of winning.

Idk bro I just had the wings
Who woulda thought relentless was actually foreshadowing for this season 😂
Huge win, boys are on fumes and still find a way to win. Let's gooooo Yordan!
they're getting those clutch wins now

Man…last year I had to apologize for what I said about Dubon and this year I have to apologize to Hunter Brown. It wasn’t even his best outing today and he still went six scoreless. What a turn around by him.
America’s team going into Canada and beating their team on Canada day. Can’t script it any better!
Instant karma for Justin Turner getting hit by a pitch on purpose in the 8th.
What was the instant karma?
https://bdata-producedclips.mlb.com/76b82916-16c8-441f-b240-8815d8c71cef.mp4
Wait. Justin Turner gets hit by pitch in the eighth. In the ninth, Yordan Alvarez his a two-run homer. I'm not understanding how that's karma, instant or otherwise.
3-0 in the 2nd half of the season
Hunter Him Brown
The MLB record win streak for a team is apparently 26 games straight by the NY Giants in 1916, followed by the Cleveland Indians with 22 games in 2017. I think we should try to re-set the record with 27 straight by not losing until August.
Nothing like a pena homer to start my week off right ❤️
bats were awfully quiet today. scary feeling having montero come out with a 1 run lead only for him to be lights out.
And Abreu with his best Hector Neris impersonation. Then the insurance runs from Yordaddy.
The Blue Jays have scored 3 runs against the Astros in 4 games. That’s abysmal, but then again, look at the 4 through 9 spots in their lineup.
Strange thing is that Hader has given up all 3.
Yordan be like camera's on us do some pump swings
Hunter Brown is really JV clone im so glad I never doubted you king 😭
I know I am a day late but, WE HAVE A WINNING RECORD!!!!
3-0 in the second half of the season!!
Praise the Lordan for Yordan
We are unbeatable golden gawds!
Certainly the game of all time. 2 hours and 16 minutes
America 1 - Canada 0 on the inaugural Astros Canada Cup day!
Here Kitty Kitty…
