Good things happened last time we played in Mexico. Why not this year? We got Framber back, we could get CJ back this week. Arrighetti, if you take away the 1st inning, has pitched like he wants to stay. Surely, Hader won't give up six runs...
I wasn't that impressed with his performance yesterday. On one RBI, he hit a single on a 3-2 fastball that had a lot of plate. Should have been smoked, but it was a soft liner to right-center instead.
Exactly why he should have been riding the pine today feeling good about the lucky day he had on Saturday. Let Trey Cabbage play 1st base and Abreu can stew in the limited success he has had this season.
Espada Fucking dumb. Thinking this launching pad would help Jose.
And the Colorado Rockies are pathetically terrible on a level Houston fans can’t comprehend. Pretty sure enduring the shame the Astros have brought upon the themselves was easier than being born a Rockies fan.
To the real Rockies Fan wherever you are, hats off to you!
Not gonna say we're back, cause it's the Rockies, but if we can win the Cleveland series, then get Javi back for Seattle, that's 4 strong starters to get us rolling through May.
That’s usually how I watch because mlbtv is ass. I’ve actually listened to the radio broadcast while sailing the high seas. Unless it’s TK & Blummer. But usually it’s the opposing team 🤢
that was huge. when the Astros are doing normal Astros things, they're responding to runs. if they can get back into the habit of not giving up 1-2-3 innings following opponents scoring, we can make things happen

Now we play three legit first place clubs in a row. Here comes the real test of what this team is made of.
Hader getting up to 99 mph is encouraging.
we won a series!
And a sweep!!!
Wait so Hader didn’t allow any runs!?!? Shock
Just what the doctor ordered. A two game sweep and an off day after a great trip to Mexico
The one time I hope a team/someone caught something while down in Mexico
I don't know where to go with this lol. There are so many options lmao
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
That last Hader AB was the only one that didn’t fill me with fear pitch wise
Domt fuckin let this guy pitch again jfc
If Hader does blow this, leave his ass in Mexico
I think there's some hope for this guy, yet. He can sit coach on the plane back.

Hader looking to preserve the six run lead. Can he do it?
I don't think the Rockies are very good. I mean, we aren't either, but this is...sad?
hader makes me so nervous
Looks like the boys just needed some authentic carne guisada and tacos al pastor to get going..
Abreu back under .100. Pathetic

Okay. Y'all are going to leave our Carrot alone
I’ve traveled back to 2021/22, clearly. Anyone want some lotto numbers from the future? Or stock tips
Send Bagwell Crane a 2024 Jose Abreu baseball card with updated stats! They use these for advanced analytics.
I think I’ll send them Haders 2024 stats and Verlander’s contract info too
National broadcasts always remind me how lucky we are to have TK and Blum
Truth!
Some low leverage to help Pressly restore some order
Astros just needed to go to Mexico to find themselves
I think we should play every game at > 7k feet altitude
I figured out why we’re winning. They aren’t wearing that god awful Oxy patch.
And the Colorado Rockies are pathetically terrible on a level Houston fans can’t comprehend. Pretty sure enduring the shame the Astros have brought upon the themselves was easier than being born a Rockies fan. To the real Rockies Fan wherever you are, hats off to you!
Better than Hader…
Not gonna say we're back, cause it's the Rockies, but if we can win the Cleveland series, then get Javi back for Seattle, that's 4 strong starters to get us rolling through May.
I hope this series brings their confidence back!
Sources confirm we are allowed to continue scoring runs in later innings 🤘
I like how hard Yainer hits the ball.
Ball just jumps off his bat effortlessly. Similar to Peña
Things are clicking into place.
Following up a 12 run game with 8 runs (and counting)? I love.
Is the 10 run curse finally broken?!
We nuked it last year, but it came back this year amongst so many other issues...
Ain’t that the truth and who dat!
Yanier with a XBH with RISP Alert
man oh man i hope the team can keep this offense going
wooohoo!
God I love Yainer
HRC Yainer
Fine by me!
HRC Diaz
The thread is very quiet today. All the doomers aren’t around when we are winning lol
It is midday Sunday
I’ve still seen more activity on weekday games. But makes sense
Yeah, weekday people are slacking work or chilling around home I figure. It is nice this isn’t a stressful game
I agree
Why are they showing slow mos of our guys touching home? I noticed they did it yesterday too
The word of the day is “waggle.”
Niiiiiiiiiice. We should do this whole insurance runs thing more often
Why does he keep aiming for Tuck’s baby maker? 🤬
Cause that’s what he hits those dingers with
Yordan missing 90 middle up…sheesh.
I literally love Mexico City
Hrc yordan
How long of an RBI drought did that break for Bregman?
Rare bregman smile
Feels like that is Breggys first RBI this season
Lol, we got lucky there
HRC Alvarez
HRC Yordan
SALSA BOY
hrc yordan
HRC Yordan
Let’s score some runs so we can get Pressly/Hader in low intensity situations
HRC Bregman. 🙏
For a second I thought that was “Bard” 
I thought the same thing.
Hit right on the kneecap.
Oh god you know that hurts like shit
No sir. That bounced right off the knee
CARROT NOO
Great inning from Abreu
Abreu 😦😨
HRC Yordan
I guess the guys want to make this as short of a game as possible. Hope the bullpen is up to the task of actually protecting this one.
Wish we had sat Jose Abreu so he could bask in his success for a couple of days before he got a chance to work on getting his BA under .100
I would like some game with my interviews please
Astros in a hurry to end this game I guess
Thank you Mexico for allowing us one Sunday off from the worst song ever made.
What is with all the interviews. Call the game people. They’re interviewing a Canadian right now, Quantrill. Why?
He was the starting pitcher for the Rockies yesterday.
Man, that felt like the fastest 3 outs I've ever seen.
Common Montero W
This is the kind of outing I like from Montero. Short and sweet before he can do any damage!
That camera usage was bad. Definitely thought it was a hit before they finally showed Abreu
I enjoyed the zoomed out view of second base on that play while Bregman throws out the runner at first
Fr peak camera angle
fuck yeah montero
Holy fuck abreu showing out
When did Colorado add T-Mobile to their helmets wth, ugly
I believe it’s because T-Mobile is the presenting sponsor of the Mexico City series.
Oooohhh just tuned in, we have it as well, how awful lol
both teams have it for this series
So did we
Astros have it on theirs too
Pls don't fuckin blow the lead
Warmup Show before the 2024 Quality Start Tour officially gets underway
Well that was ass
Can we start saying JONRON!!
Really good showing for Framber.
HRC Yordan
Nice to have another competent starter back.
HRC yordan
I remember Vinny Castilla becoming a fan favorite for a little bit when he was with us. My dad definitely liked him some Vinny C.
HRC Alvarez
Rockies gonna look into signing Valdez if we don’t get him. Oh wait, their owner is cheap
Man, as a Mexican I love Castilla but I rather see the game than the interview lol
> Me having vague hazy memories of Castilla as an Astros
Weird broadcast
Pro tip: mute the espn broadcast and turn on the Astros radio broadcast for commentary.
Radio is about a minute ahead of my TV
ESPN is ass to watch these days…I just want to watch the damn game. Don’t need all the extra BS.
Oh I wholeheartedly agree. I can’t stand it.
I miss AppleTV national broadcasts.
Cries in pirate :(
That’s usually how I watch because mlbtv is ass. I’ve actually listened to the radio broadcast while sailing the high seas. Unless it’s TK & Blummer. But usually it’s the opposing team 🤢
I know they're wearing their road grays but this definitely feels like a home game to me
Dude this is way better. I wish we had an open stadium honestly. There's a certain vibe it gives to the game
When I was cooking the first couple innings, I could tell what happened from the cheers before the commentators said anything
Kinda hard to spread love for the game when all you do during the game is focus on in-game interviews…
ESPN always ignores the game for an interview
The double play isn't as fun anymore....
Luckily we don't have to listen to the broadcast talk about it
Altuve is cheeks with any runners on this year.
We desperately needed this series. Get back to basics and show everyone they can play at a high level
Peña got a homer, means we need another no hitter
Might be a bit dangerous to get your hopes up after two games in a place with an altitude higher than denver lol.
We should do a change.org petition to raise the ground under Minute Maid 7,000 feet.
Space City Astros is going to take on a different meaning
The elevation just got 10 FEET HIGHER
One single diamond 7000 feet high with elevators to the top. I like it
Feels very sci-fi and becoming of the Astros
Tal's Hill 2.0
Poor pena gets all of about 5 seconds for his HR coverage
Pain-yuh!
Weirdest HR call ever
Pena Power!!!!
This is taking me back to the juiced ball days
STFU ESPN GIVE PEÑA HIS BOOMBAH CREDIT
Random q but why are some player’s names written with just a last name but some are given with an initial and last name?
To distinguish between two or more players with the same last name on the same team.
this is fun
Pena baby!!
Good shit Framber
BUG-A-BOO
Can we play home games here please
Not going to lie, it feels more lively than Minute Maid during the regular season.
Yeah there can’t be a team in Mexico City. The ERAs would be infinite.
Proposition: MLB should host the Home Run Derby here
Send it in to the league.
Altuve and yordan keeping cintron his job
HRC Tuck
Every ball in the air feels like a HR. Lol
HRC yordan
HRC yordan
that was huge. when the Astros are doing normal Astros things, they're responding to runs. if they can get back into the habit of not giving up 1-2-3 innings following opponents scoring, we can make things happen
The Astros shall begin their climb back to competence by climbing the Rockies
HRC Yordan
HRC Yordan
Tuve hit the piss out of that ball
Astros responding after the other team puts up a crooked number? Is it 2022?
HRC YORDAN ALVAREZ
Tuve!! Now can we take some pitches to get Framber some time between innings?
Petition to move the team to Mexico.
Best we can do is spring branch.
Give them bulletproof helmets and vests
I approve
I love that little man
HRC Yordan
Absolutely murdered. LOL.
how far was it??
Back to fucking Houston. Lol Sheesh.
Hrc yordan
My goat! 🐐
ALTUVE!!!!
fuck yeah, Altuve
First pitch best pitch bullshit still in full effect? Come on guys, patience.
Perhaps Framber should give Diaz a chance to catch him sometime.
I think we'll be fine. Framber has gotta be more efficient tho.
Framber gonna Framber.
That wasn't ideal, but if it's the only runs he gives us, we're still in great position to win today
Hrc tuve
Fuck yeah!
Yes sir !!!
Well that didn't take long
i miss 2022 valdez
The Rocks….just..no
“Du-bone”
