There's one of the bigger questions in the offseason answered.

Still, first base is locked in now. With Kyle Tucker playing very well this year they probably figure that LF is locked in long term. I think Springer will be the priority in the offseason, unless they think Tucker can play right field.

You can blame the Astros for a lot but you can't pin Baez's struggles on them. Hopefully he owns it and comes back strong next year.

This actually rules quite a bit

The Astros have already achieved more success than I ever expected. Getting past the Twins alone was a success

Agreed. This season is already a massive, massive success for the Astros.

Except for the 29-31 record, JV exploding into dust, and Osuna somehow probably escaping a no-brainer non-tender situation that could have finally banished his scumbag rear end for good, sure.

I mean, we haven’t been good. We’ve been lucky (aside from the latter two aforementioned issues).

But that's exactly what I mean. Despite all of those things we're fighting to go 2-0 in the ALDS. They have no business making it this far - it's been awesome to watch it unfold live.

are we to the point where Astros fans are able to pretend like they aren't ashamed?

I suppose that makes sense considering Houston's fervent support for the illustrious commander-in-chief and his own issues with honesty

It's hard to be ashamed when they haters are acting even more shameful.

Yeah, he's a midgrade MRA chud shitposter and I don't really get why people respect it as much as they do.

A decent amount of the pitching-specific stuff he does is interesting but the idea that he's an amazing personality and fascinating guy is very weird to me.

(That goes for people who read his tweets just to get mad at him. Curate your own feeds!)

I don't get it either. I've got quite a few friends that follow Trump specifically to wake up and read his tweets. Why personally invite that much negativity into your life?

Fellow 'stros fans, although this series isn't going to workout the way we wanted, I actually feel pretty good about next year. The postseason has shown that our younger, talented arms are ready to take the next step. A rotation of Greinke, McCullers, Urquidy, Valdez and Javier is pretty solid! We may not have the regression that we expect in a couple of years.

Kirios
Jan 26, 2010




I don't think he has much of a choice, honestly. Pitching Valdez and Urquidy on short rest, something either of which have never done (and Urquidy isn't that far removed from a major injury), seems like a recipe for disaster. You just have to hope you get five innings out of Garcia.

Oh that's gonna be lost on most of the super edgy people in SAS, but yeah, it was a fantastic season for the Astros. They dramatically overachieved, and honestly, if our young arms can continue to produce like this we'll be a good team for quite a bit longer.

AL Cardinals sounds kinda nice.

If you think the people of SAS are “edgy” when it comes to the Astros, wait until you meet the average baseball fan.

Honestly? Most baseball fans I've met up here in the PNW while golfing or playing board games have basically said something equivalent to "Eh most baseball teams cheat I don't know why it's such a big deal."

Yeah, it's been kind of surprising to me too.

Man I'm in a great mood this morning - happy the Astros made it to game seven and as far as they did this year despite all the huge injuries. I think they're going to be good for a lot longer than most Astros fans think. Our young arms stepped up big time and the bullpen, despite being nearly all rookies, was really gelling towards the end of the year.

I really hope the Braves win tonight - I think Braves vs. Rays would be an awesome World Series matchup.
