Split the series probably should have swept it.

I guess we are deciding to peak later on in October :slight_smile:

Exhale!

Fishslingers win, so still a 4.5 game lead.

Two boneheaded plays cost two games this series.

And one of them took two boneheads to “successfully” complete.

I am thinking of composing a silver lining post. Stay tuned.

I hope Yordan is back in Philly and Dubon is not out for the year.

Hader was throwing straight gas tonight. Good game.

A split with a team like Baltimore is great. Definitely a winnable/sweepable series if the team executes better.

Just have to make plays a good HS team makes.

Wishing the best for Dubon but I just caught the replay and it’s hard to imagine he won’t miss significant time.

Fuck yeah, Astros.

I’ll still contend it was the switch to the Waikiki Brewing Co. Aloha Spirit Blonde Lager that righted the mojo today :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::rofl:

Very playoff feel to this series, the Houston Astros beisbol club blew some solid opportunities to sweep, but let’s hope for some good and or better effort against the lousy Filthies.

That’s exactly what it was, Captain. Salute.

I learned it by watching you, HH.

The fact the Astros could have swept a very good Orioles’ team without their two best hitters if they didn’t beat themselves in two losses is a testament to the heart and character inside the Astros’ clubhouse. They are grinders and keep grinding regardless of the circumstances.

I was thinking this same notion earlier, swear on my beloved Astros’ loving late father’s grave.

This ‘24 team, much like some successful past squads, has exhibited resilience, grit and scrappiness- fuckin’ eh right.

I like to think being a Houston Astros Baseball Club backer means being scrappy because of the target on the back (slurp shit, rob manfred) and making sure the world knows this franchise has been quantifiably and justifiably good for the past 9 years after roaming the depths of MLB.

Also, the early reports on DubĂłn are better than expected:

Great news. Hopefully he doesn’t have to miss an extended period of time. Glad to see that police officer was sentenced too.
