a man can dream

they sell these in NZ?

R O Y A L S

Yeah, saw it on twitter the other day. Wasn't supposed to be Astros merch, they just used Keuchel as a model photo.

IT'S NOT KEUCHEL DAY AFTER ALL

oh fuck dallas is out sick

>Keuchel is out

What the hell 'stros we were supposed to have an ERA leaders battle tonight

that's such an odd choice baseball is not popular here at all

GATTISS'D?

McCannon'd

Wait what happened what did y'all do to Keuchel

...

He's sick

It was a throw-away game the minute they started the rookies again desu

>Hud rambling on about Kathleen Turner and Romancing the Stone
>Cain jacks 410 footer to center

He's rambling about the check swing rule now lets make it 2 for 2

>It was a throw-away game the minute they started the rookies again desu
I don't even see what they're trying to do with that...

just got home and I gotta say I'm not too happy with this game brehs

>I gotta say I'm not too happy with this game brehs

Don't worry, spacebro. It's a throwaway game. Keuchel was out sick so we had a starter comparable to Fiers (maybe worse) on the mound. If we come back in the 8-9th I'd be pleasantly surprised.

>no 8th inning miracle comeback

why

>tfw forgot how to deal with losing already
we're getting spoiled, aren't we?

Maybe it's >our turn tonight

Sup Forumsstros

>we're getting spoiled, aren't we?
We are, hahahaha.

Once we're done with this series we'll have some fun with the Angels.

reminder that fLuke Gregerson getting through two scoreless innings is the equivalent of winning the game to me personally

HAPPENING

>reminder that fLuke Gregerson getting through two scoreless innings is the equivalent of winning the game to me personally
It would be oddly fitting that Luke Gregerson would do good in a losing game.

...

oh hECK!!!1!

Holy shit, 8th innings are super interesting with these two teams

Please don't make this any more interesting Soria

>That image with an astros pepe

aight that's a good start let's get the rest back next inning

Also
>Just figured out I might lose my job by forgetting to press a button for the 4th time
>Think "Oh hey my royals, maybe they're doing good i'll finish up the game if its still going"
>"See it's 2-7 in the 8th
>"Fuck yeah this is great
>Astros immediately get 3 runs
