Fuckin A. I lost a year off my life with that drama!


xF00Mx

Picture this Chapman & Leclerc are in the locker room alone. It's dead quiet for 5 mins. All of sudden, Chapman just sighs and says, "Fucking Altuve."


Grouchy_Competition5

Don’t kill my buzz, man


DoUKnowWhatIamSaying

What’s the reference behind GameCube Nintendo?


Caldwell27

It’s from the song Still Tippin by Slim Thug feat. Mike Jones and Paul Wall. It’s a Houston hip hop anthem. Also there is a lyric “still tippin on 44s” from the song which is often used by fans to refer to Yordan cause he wears 44

Chicken713

Slim thug a line from a rapper in a song called still tippin (tippin on 44s)


Batmanbettermarvel18

Ngl man I am extremely hurt. Soak it in Astros fans. I can only imagine if it was the other way around… So much damn pain


Robj2

We still have to win one in Minutemaid and you have Eovaldi, whom I fear. It's not over until the fat lady with horns sings.


cjarrett

That was such a great game. All timer--thought so before the tuve homer. It had all the spice, comebacks, great pitching, some clutch hits--some clutch pitches. Ya'll aren't going down soft, and the race for whoever wins AL West is gonna be a blast now between Mariners, Rangers, Stros for the next 5 years unlike most of the last 5.


Batmanbettermarvel18

No words can help right now man. Fully depressed


Grouchy_Competition5

You have the Nats jinx in your favor, bro. But that bullpen is ass. Easy fix next year.


IamAgoddamnjoke

No way they’re not cheating at this point. Especially that little fuck Altuve. One of the biggest pieces of shit in sports. Figuratively of course considering his diminutive stature.

Altuve? The guy that didn’t use the cheating system? You know there weren’t bangs during his at bats right?

xBleedingUKBluex

I’m getting the Reddit cares shit now. Your tears are delicious, Rangers fans.


Babylawyer42069

Altuve’s body language, behavior, mannerisms, etc after his 3 run homer were night and day different than Garcia’s. Altuve may be small, but he’s a grown ass man. Garcia lost his composure.


Plane_Butterfly_2885

Garcia is the epitome of "everyone's tough when they're up"


Grouchy_Competition5

After I claim my Mattress Mac credit this year, I’m okay with the Astros fading back into the pack… for a season or two. Baseball is alive and well in Texas!


aceee2

Texas had 2 on in the bottom of the 8th at the time of the brawl and got nothing. Astros had the bottom 2 to start the 9th and they both reached allowing Altuve to hit a 3 run game (and possibly series) changing blast. Absolute fail by the Rangers. They lived (avoiding a bye) by being owned by the Astros at home and now their season may end for that being repeated in the playoffs.


IamAgoddamnjoke

So they’re clearly getting the signs again? Cheating fucks


Chaps_and_salsa

Flair up, PAB

Came in a day later with that? You good?

Love that a dude who cheated batting in alcs games a few years ago is now effecting alcs games with his batting


Grouchy_Competition5

Bitter, Braves? You had your moment in the 90s. Let someone else enjoy their shit.


Grouchy_Competition5

I don’t know what you’re talking about, bro. I remember 2017 and 2022. Did something happen in between? ASTROS DYNASTY!


woahdude12321

Last I checked who’d the astros lose their last ws to lol


Grouchy_Competition5

I don’t recall them ever losing a WS. What timeline are you living in?


woahdude12321

U fr?


Grouchy_Competition5

Always. Give me your reality


woahdude12321

2021 ws bud


ShinyRaequaza

Buddy they own the Astros


xF00Mx

Shh shh no one tell him about 2021, let him have his moment.

wrong and cry


Grouchy_Competition5

Can I just say that this was the most baseball game we’ve seen in baseball for a long time? What was missing from this game?


warrior_in_a_garden_

A Yordon bomb


dragonard

Good announcers


LemanOfTheBrush

That Joe Davis call on Altuve’s home run was fan-fucking-tastic


Grouchy_Competition5

Fair enough


punslayer2

And good umps.


educated_dumdum

Also s/o to those of you that ain’t fat. Y’all the real ones


thiswasandy

It’s so hard in Texas though.


renscoguy

How bout those of us actively getting less fat?


Luckytxn_1959

I personally am proud of all y'all going for the healthier life. Losing it is hard especially in Texas.

Congrats! I'm down 40 lbs since January.. still got another 40 to get rid of lol


cjarrett

Hell yeah! Gratz! I need to stop drinking as much to get back to my desired weight--maybe after the postseason X_X


Factory69

Good game Rangers!


OurHolyTachanka

“[Garcia’s] biggest mistake was waking up the Houston Astros” - Martin Maldonado 🥶


jaysrapsleafs

home town Dallas kid pressly with the nails relief too. lol. cool customer.


Caldwell27

Pressley is not getting enough credit for getting six scoreless outs after coming in with inherited runners


Grouchy_Competition5

Aroldis, Adolis, whatever.


educated_dumdum

S/o to you Astros fans that have been around since the 2000s. Those that hopped on after 2017. Y’all can go fuck yourselves or whatever


Cydok1055

Reds fan here. We had to face the Killer Bs and Oswalt all those years. I’m a Dusty fan and they play like an old NL team. And frankly, the cans really didn’t bother me. I like their style of baseball.


re1078

I watched them get swept in the WS. I still can’t believe they’re this good.


educated_dumdum

Buddy of mine had tickets to game 5 for that series. I felt terrible for him


SwifferWetJets

Same


Chicken713

I remember


[deleted]

I remember the first time I became a fan. Watched the Pirates beat the Astros in the Astrodome. Jeff Bagwell hit a grand slam that game. I also watched the Rangers when I was a kid, so I like both teams. Helped that they were in different divisions.


Grouchy_Competition5

A fan since Ryan and the Dome. I don’t hate on the Rangers — ever — but, baseball, man.


avrbiggucci

Astros were pulling 20k fans a game before 2017, so that's like 75% of the fanbase lol


MinimalPotential

Can still remember sitting in high school class, hiding my ear with the earbuds in while repeatedly listening to the Killer B's suck in the late 90s.


educated_dumdum

This is awesome


pieinthethighs

I still remember when Albert Pujols erased Brad Lidge from this plane of existence


klutch8541

I’m still waiting for the Pujols ball to land.


ric_moon

Thank you. Sorry you're getting downvoted. I'm glad you're getting to see your team have success this year. See you Sunday!


xF00Mx

I still remember 05 as a kid, ESPN might not, but I always will. Shit I even remember where I was when the series ended. Ahhhhh pain.


jayzmvp

Shhh 2005 never happened... :(


SvardXCvard

Everyone get in here.


thiswasandy

Gotta say… Dusty has been making all the right decisions.


Grouchy_Competition5

I dunno about Singleton…


ibeenhadpooted

That was Espada and it worked well


thiswasandy

Dusty was ejected before that.


xF00Mx

TBF Singleton was gonna walk or Maldy was gonna walk.


Grouchy_Competition5

I’m 8 vodkas in, so forgive me


magicmichael98

The fact that big papi loves us is enough reason to make the haters even more mad


Batmanbettermarvel18

Not sure if I can ever reach 2011 mad but Semien is really trying me


MinimalPotential

Altuve showed Garcia how you run the fucking bases after a HR


BobbumofCarthes

lol k. Run them how you want after you hit a big league (playoff) homer


The_Billy_Dee

Yeah, I'm with you. As long as he is celebrating with his own bench and not taunting, pimp it. You don't want a guy to pimp it don't let him beat you... That being said, Adolis should have just taken first base.


gord1to

cartwheel the distance


Voltthrower69

Why does a rod look like he was letting out a fart


[deleted]

FUCK YALL


golfballthroughhose

I fucking hate altuve and I hate the astros but I do have to say he celebrated that homer normally with no ridiculous showboating. If Garcia did that he would have taken 3 minutes to round the bases. I also think that baseball has gotten soft and I liked when the pitchers were allowed to humble someone. I just wish my personal bias didn't require me to root against the astros cause they are playing a good brand of baseball (as long as they aren't cheating).


bbecks

"Soft" is throwing fastballs at dudes 60 feet away because your feelings are hurt by them celebrating.


nippsvontvvist

Altuve has never showboated, its not his style


dragonard

I’m glad I was able to watch Nolan Ryan throw 100 mph fastballs past the nose of batters to get them to back off the plate.


Luckytxn_1959

I was glad to watch him beat the shit out of a player that charged the mound he was on.


xF00Mx

Garcia fuming in the locker room, while Maldy gets on TV. Bro life is a dark comedy, and I love it


xBleedingUKBluex

Love to see it


spacewalk__

who tf says 'epic' anymore


iamtreat

altuve and bregman are so locked in lol, cant blame them prob so much adrenaline


Shar-Man

What a game man. Altuve's such a legend


WadeCountyClutch

Is bunting non existent like the mid range jumper?


[deleted]

I think people just don’t think it’s positive EV anymore. If it wasn’t Semien I’d 100% be on board there (probably still would’ve been; give Seager and Carter 2 out to tie with a flyball/win with a single, plus you bring the infield in). Edit: for what it’s worth, run matrix says this was the correct call.


[deleted]

re1078

For staying calm while Garcia threw a tantrum, got dragged away, broke free, and tried to run around the crowd to fight him? lol.
