Señor Altuve is SO QUICK with his reactions/decisions/executions!!!! Bravo!!! Witness his play of the ball off after it caromed unexpectedly off of second base during a putout that he made against the Phillies in the World Series of 2022. He and Señor Peña are so unbelievably quick and smooth in the field as to be unbelievable…
And MAN is it good to see Tuck crank one again.....God we've missed that. Lets finish strong! I'm not crazy about Yordan hitting second, I don't necessarily hate it....but I'm not in love with it either. Either way, this lineup feels capable. Which is a great feeling combined with how confident you are in Framber, Hunter, and Kikuchi. Gotta find one more strong SP in these last 2 weeks.
Yeah I would go Yainer 2 and the Yordan 3 cause Yainer gets on base all the time and can give Yordan more threats. And since Tucker and Yordan can hit lefties, just have Tucker 4th and Bregman 5th. Who cares if the lefties are back to back.
Update... After starting the season 12-24, the Astros are 80-68 with 14 games to go. If they finish 10-4, they will end the season at 90-72. The Astros are 5.5 games behind the Yankers for best record in the AL and 9 games behind the Phillies for the best record in MLB. The Astros are also 4.5 games ahead of Seattle in the AL West and 4.5 games behind Cleveland for the number two seed in the AL. That is an amazing season.
Got a LOOOOONNNNGGG way to go before I'm even considering him for the playoffs....but JV took a solid step in the right direction today. 2 runs in 5 innings gives you a chance to win. If he can give us that in his last 2 starts of the year, I'll take it.
@@alxm1271agreed, if that catch by Myers falls he goes 4 runs in the first. Excellent effort by Myers and the rest of the outfield to keep it at just 2 runs. Right now I still think Arrighetti over JV.
You know that meme of Michael Scott when he turns around and sees Toby? That's how I react every time I see Jake Meyers with runners in scoring position....No!...please God no!
Sadly the Rangers suck and blew it for the second time in a row, so no gain on Seattle, but I believe our magic number is down to 10 now, or maybe even 9.
@kingirvin7686 well he's scheduled to next Friday so idk what you want to happen. He's kinda earned the right to show he can fix his problems and he did fine tonight. Wasn't great....but he was fine. I'd call it optimistic progress.
@@imnotcreativeenoughh angels are top 5 worst teams this season, but I wouldn’t be surprised if JV gives the Astros the L bc they’re used to his pitches already, I’m not trying to be a negative Nancy but that won’t fly against a playoff team
@@kingirvin7686is just be exhausting to be you here is my prediction : if jv winds the ws for us you will be saying you knew he was going to do it all along
If he stays in the lineup I would rather he and Doobie swap out in batting order. Not that Doobie is tearing it up at the plate but I have way more confidence in him in a bases loaded situation than Meyers.
I wouldn't call him a "fraud". Guy's never pitched more than 20 games or 20 innings in a season in his entire career and suddenly this year he's pitched 68 innings over 61 games. He's just burning out in the last month and a half. I think a drastic cut down in his usage to end the season would do him some good. Either way, I didn't like using him in the 8th against the top of the order. Would've much preferred he faced the bottom order in the 7th to make it easier on him. Having Hader and Abreu unavailable tonight definitely made things a lot more tricky.
@@imnotcreativeenoughh ok i do agree with you that he’s not used to pitching this much just like Blanco but i do believe that he doesn’t do well under pressure & is always giving up a run lately
@@JustLikeHeaven77 first half, we’re in the 2nd half hitters had almost never faced Scott but now they know what he throws & they get used to him, simple ball knowledge
Did everyone else also have the biggest smile for Tuck?
👑
I did.. very happy for king tuck
Has to have contract extended.
Praise Chili. The King Returns 👑🙏🌶️
Been a while since I heard Blummer yell "Hail King Tuck"!

Jake meyers saved Astros by stopping that man in home plate, then comes Tucker to asure the win.👍🤠
Anderson's leg kick is ridiculously stupid-looking

Thanks Chili and God bless
Caratini and Gamel have been great additions to the team. You have to give Dana Brown credit
Some great defence tonight for the win!
We're pulling for you, JV!!!!!😃❤

he’s getting better. that’s all we can ask for
I'd take arrighetti over jv all day at this point
2 runs in 5 innings sounds good but he was giving up hard contact all night long and was bailed out by several exceptional defensive plays.
He got hit way harder than what it looked like. He got saved by amazing plays from his outfielders. Still nowhere close to what JV should be.
@@alxm1271agreed, if that catch by Myers falls he goes 4 runs in the first. Excellent effort by Myers and the rest of the outfield to keep it at just 2 runs. Right now I still think Arrighetti over JV.
Dubon and Meyers got the Gold glove
Thanks to chili.
GG! Thanks Chili
Shoutout to chili
44 just clutch King Tuck goes deep then Pressley slams the door Great Win
If Pena could start hitting more consistently, that'd be awesome.
Oh, man…Caleb Ort!!!! Yesssss. Nice find, ‘stros.
GG stros. Espada really likes to play with fire keeping pressly out there...
You know that meme of Michael Scott when he turns around and sees Toby? That's how I react every time I see Jake Meyers with runners in scoring position....No!...please God no!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Verlander obviously getting his mechanics and rhythm back with a little help from the outfield.
At this point Houston is hoping Verlander has a good game. He's now a mere mortal...
King🎉
Good win.
Señor Alvarez hits another homer that gets out of the park IN THREE SECONDS!!!
If I have to see Jake Meyers with the bases loaded one more time lol...
For real, smh.
19:25 lovely julia

Doesn’t matter, Astro are not losing to the Angels unless JV faces them again

👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘
Go Astros
Altuve 🙏🙏🙏
💙🧡💙🧡💙🧡💙🧡💙
I feel like we need to put someone else in for Meyers. He’s good on defense, but he’s been on a slump for a long time now
If he stays in the lineup I would rather he and Doobie swap out in batting order. Not that Doobie is tearing it up at the plate but I have way more confidence in him in a bases loaded situation than Meyers.
Can we all agree that Tayler Scott is a fraud lol you’ll remember this comment when the Astros make it to the playoffs
I wouldn't call him a "fraud". Guy's never pitched more than 20 games or 20 innings in a season in his entire career and suddenly this year he's pitched 68 innings over 61 games.

@@kingirvin7686 hes been overused tbh
he was insane for 90% of the season up untill a month or so
Him and Abreu were the only stable bullpen pitchers in the first half of the season.
@@JustLikeHeaven77 first half, we’re in the 2nd half hitters had almost never faced Scott but now they know what he throws & they get used to him, simple ball knowledge
That was a great DP to end the game. Altuve , should win a gold glove every year.
Let's go Houston Astros 🤘
