I'm not saying they're back on the cans but the Astros are back on the cans.

What about when their offense disappeared in Game 1 at home? Cans just not working?

I mean if you won a World Series by cheating, got caught, and had absolutely zero meaningful consequences, why the hell wouldn’t you cheat again?

Altuve is going to remain an automatic out if he insists on swinging at every first pitch no matter where it is

I was as much as a rage-ball as anyone over 2017 and I realize everyone wants to use the cheat meme as much as possible today, but the half-man Altuve swinging at the first pitch and often hitting it out of the park is peak drama/enjoyment

They aren’t cheating now, and his bat is more than half his height. If you are watching Altuve ABs and carrying the 2017 baggage you are cheating yourself.

e: it’s like a honey badger owning a pride of lions, or something

Obviously I wish the Astros had faced some consequences as an organization for the cheating scandal, but I like watching a lot of their players and Altuve is just the most fun. They're a good loving team, even if they should've had their title stripped imo.

Yeah I meant right now. He's clearly pressing and trying to be a hero in every AB, same with Correa

When he's patient he's a dangerous hitter

I've been a Barves fan since I could be a fan of any team at all and lemme tell you - I am loving dreading potentially having to watch Tormpo lead a chop in the stretch. The sort of thing so deeply cursed that if we lose every game out including that one 27-0 people will be like "oh yeah well of course it happened you had Trump lead a chop"

Yep, it sucks rear end but also imagine paying literally any attention to Trump. Dude is done being relevant - if he becomes president in 2024 we have much bigger issues than that motherfucker.

Like, I get it, his brand of dumbassery has taken over but in what way is he demonstrably worse than Ted Cruz who is cheering for the Astros? Other than the fact that Ted Cruz sucks too much to get anyone to like him?
