Astros VS Orioles Condensed Game 8/25/24

[@imnotcreativeenoughh]

I also hope Dubon is ok. My god what an all out effort catch. I kinda hope we keep him for a couple more years. Yea, I know, he's got zero power and only hitting .250 for the year....but he's also a .270 hitter with RISP and his ability to play every position is beyond invaluable to a team. He's the kind of guy that no one remembers 10 years after a dynasty, but is almost just as important to a team year in and year out as the stars because of his clubhouse affect and impact to give literally anyone a day off and still feel like he can give you something on offense, plus his GG defense.

[@carlosgarza1962]

Exactly, great team player

[@mack72711]

Preeeach. I couldn't have said it any better. He's been catching hell the last couple months and I don't understand it because nobody should be confusing him with Mookie Betts, the dude is gonna slump every once in a while. But the moment is never too big for him, he plays consistent defense ALL OVER the field while filling holes when guys go down, hell they wouldn't have made the postseason last season if he didn't fill in for Altuve like he did while winning a gold glove. Dubon is never gonna be elite with the bat but he brings so much positive to this ball club in many other ways and his play should get appreciated more. Now Chasssss on the other hand.. we appreciate your great catch to help win that WS but uhhhh it might be time to call it a season and try again next year

[@nguyen925]

He's been a really good versatile player, like how I Diaz was before him. Hope he heals up well! 😊

[@grxengine]

Espada said docs checked him out after the catch. He’s ok. Just will be sore. He said he felt like he’d been “beat up”. I could only think of Jake Meyers crash & shoulder injury when I saw it.

[@Wikikiman]

Good points there…well said 👍

[@jonb8430]

Nice to see Neris back… I feel like he puts energy in the relief innings.

[@bobbygetsbanned6049]

Glad to have him back but looked like 1 of those would have been a HR in MM.

[@imnotcreativeenoughh]

I didn't realize how much I'd love seeing Neris back on the mound in an Astros uniform until tonight. I was ok letting him walk.....but MAN it felt electric feeling his emotion and energy out there. Hell yea man.

[@MonkTlön]

Go on... Apologize...

[@joseegonzalez4894]

Great play by Dubon, I hope he’ll recover soon! What a Breggi bomb!!! Well done Astros !!!!!

[@kannonmcafee]

Splitting with these birds and ending the series on a good note. I'm happy with that. Hopefully, Yordan can come back soon.

[@MonkTlön]

It's amazing how we're playing this well given all the injuries. It just shows how good this team is.

[@junk206]

Chili with the best editing. Thank you!!

[@MonkTlön]

Great to see Neris back. I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for this. But it was a solid move getting him, given how disappointing the trade deadline was because we didn't get an all-star ace pitcher or make a splash with a bat or reliever. But Kikuchi is proving himself to be a solid starter, Gamel was a nice little pick up (so far), and so was Neris, who has always been reliable in an Astros uniform. All in all, Brown made some smart moves under the radar. These moves were really the only moves he had.

[@imnotcreativeenoughh]

I don't think you'll get any hate for saying Neris is a good pickup. He's a vet minimum contract, so he's dirt cheap, and I think most fans wanted him to stay anyway

[@MonkTlön]

@@imnotcreativeenoughh I don't think I'll get hate for saying Neris is a good pitcher (of course until he gives up a lead and the fanbase will want his head). I think I'll get hate for complimenting the small moves that Brown made. While I still don't like what we gave up for a rental, Kikuchi has been a solid starter.

[@alicialuna9459]

Espero en dios dubon esté bien que no tenga consecuencias ese golpe dios lo bendiga

[@Wikikiman]

Another good showing by Kuchi man!

[@Er1c_9]

Even though I feel Kikuchi deserved the win tonight, it did make for an amazing welcome back gift for Neris. Especially holding his own against a very good O’s team that's also seeking playoff contention.

[@jrm669mar]

Singleton had a great game.

[@101encychlo9]

Thanks, Chili !!

[@killeranimalz2011]

Thanks Chili! Hope Dubon is okay

[@Wikikiman]

Neris, my man! Glad he’s back!

[@markkar4663]

Nice split with the Birds.

[@SaulGoodman-w2x]

Overall good result but we did gift them at least 1 game.

[@reusalan]

@@SaulGoodman-w2xfacts that one game was for espadas brother in law (the manager of the Os)

[@markkar4663]

@@SaulGoodman-w2x year, that one stung a bit for sure. You don't figure on Abreu giving it up like that, but I'll take the split and skedaddle out of town.

[@glf1949]

Completely enjoyable presentation....'thanks'

[@jt.00011]

No mistakes this game. Stros went 5-2 against Orioles this season. Could've been 7-0 if abreau and singleton didn't give it away. Stros got this!

[@DavidTRChen]

Thanks to chili.

[@MonkTlön]

This should've been a series win. But let's not forget that the O's are a serious ball club. So a split isn't bad. (I never thought I'd say that.)

[@Wikikiman]

I can’t recall the last time I’ve seen ALTUVE go 0 for 5 with three Ks. Hope he’s not caught McCormick flu!

[@mariosolis1802]

Excellent!

[@emilycalles623]

Hope doob is going to be okay

[@Jm.15]

Should’ve been a sweep! Both their big swings came off pitches 6 inches above the zone. Take away 2 swings and the error from Singleton and we win all 4

[@zorazaiser6881]

Praise Chili 🙏🌶️

[@wacojohnnydean1777]

The Astros should’ve won at least three out of four against this great Baltimore team but we’ll have to settle for a split! That’s cool! Let’s see how we do against Philly next. A rematch of the ‘22 WS! Go Stros! 💪🏾

[@Wikikiman]

Doobie can’t hit but how valuable was he tonight?! Possibly saved the game. I’d love to see him develop a better offensive game, but at 30 think he may be in his prime. You can’t take away anything from his hustle game though! Hope he recovers quickly!

[@Mayorofthecity]

It’s dubi

[@Wikikiman]

@@Mayorofthecity No it's Dubon, but hey ho. We know who we're talking about.

[@kingpet]

GG STROS! BACK TO BACK JACKS!! Abreu didn't get blowed up

[@jojomar1209]

The Astros could have and should have swept this series. Oh well, at least we got a split.

[@HondaLee-bv2nz]

Finally…we running out of time to get tuned up for the playoff run..

[@joe_tp7326]

Chili😩😩😩

[@somemaskedguy9445]

A rough day for Altuve today

[@texasbassranger]

Is Altuve just tired? He's swinging as stuff I swung at in high school. God bless him, but he needs some rest.He just isn't seeing the ball.

[@imnotcreativeenoughh]

His hand has been bothering him since before the allstar break. It's messing up his swing, so he's trying to jump pitches and it's causing him to guess wrong and swing at sliders off the plate. Not to mention.....he's kinda always been like that anyway

[@Carpez-id8wc]

He takes pitches down the middle for balls and swings at low outside pitches. Frustrating to watch.

[@texasbassranger]

@@imnotcreativeenoughh I mean, he is one of the top 3 bad-ball hitters in the MLB, I just hope he gets back on track soon.

[@tim12chang]

Orioles got only two freaking hits.

[@bobnewfart]

So good to see my boy Hector back. Should have kept him in the first place.

[@zorazaiser6881]

Stros on top no one else even compares. ALCS here we come

[@texandy89]

Let's go Houston Astros, hope Doobie is ok after that hit to the wall.

[@bobbygetsbanned6049]

Man I hope Dubon is ok, that was a hard hit. It's really time to have airbag walls instead of just thin padding. Great to see back to back jacks with Bregman and my boy Diaz! Oh and the in game interviews are horrible, it's just the MLB saying baseball is too boring on it's own, so lets add a side show attraction. I'm trying to watch the damn game, not an interview.

[@imnotcreativeenoughh]

And true to my word: I humbly fall on my face, prostrate before the great Yusei Kikuchi, to beg his forgiveness for doubting his capabilities 😂 And to Dana Brown and Jim Crane....I 75% beg for their forgiveness as well. The last 25% to be asked upon winning the World Series. 😅

[@MonkTlön]

@@imnotcreativeenoughh Yyyeaaaah... Apologize...

[@pilgrimhere652]

Astros players shouldn't be too fancy when playing defence, an out can win a game ,but an error can get the fans mad 😤 .😂

[@ericmausbach1808]

Woulda been nice to see the Diaz bomb when it happened. They were showing a replay while live action was going on....seems like that'd be a big no no for the guy calling the camera shots.

[@atownnnnn]

This really shouldve been a sweep, but a tie works too i guess

[@Eugenen319]

Go Stros ❤

[@marknealy4780]

👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘

[@grxengine]

I’m guessin’ no Orioles fans trolling in here tonight. Those boys can’t beat the Astros when it’s said and done. They shouldn’t get their hopes up with this 4 game split. Astros won this season’s series easily 5-2. Go win your division, other Orange team….and then we can talk.
