    I hope what Maldonado said is true and the Astros finally woke up...and if they can't win I hope they go down swinging, literally not figuratively, with fists not bats, if Garcia wants to fight let em fight, throw Singleton at him and see how fast he runs away...

    I plan on isolating myself tonight to watch this game. I don't think anyone in Minnesota wants to be near me during this game.

    I think the Astros will be sending a message tonight. You can try and break us, but we will show all of you that the hearts of Champions won't be broken. Remember, Altuve and Tucker didn't get any hits those first two home games, and that isn't going to happen again.

    Have a great trip. FYI you can get Carlos Correa's favorite burger, the Juicy Lucy, at the Blue Door pub in MSP Airport.

    Yordan be like "He man, calm down a bit and remember you have Framber in game 6. Take him deep and then skateboard around the bases. I got you man, I'm your Cuban brotha."

    Yordan then goes to Framber "Yo, curve in the dirt every time."

    It’s a problem at my house too. I went apeshitt yesterday when the corrupt refs blatantly and unabashedly stole the game from UH.

    You teach? Yeah, I teach. Computer age philosophy, when my students would rather watch TV.

    We need to **** them up early and often. Hopefully we'll get the Eovaldi that allowed 12 home runs in one inning to the Astros while he was with Boston a year or two ago.

    I’ll be doing my usual: weight lifting, hitting the curl bar (when things aren’t going well), pacing around, making audible sounds accordingly, checking this thread, scoreboard watching (for stressful moments), watching live some (lots of rewind and fast forward action), gnawing on bbq chicken pizza (homemade), and probably watching another show at the same time. It’s real high tech over here. ;)

    A good fiend of mine ex-husband would get so worked up during Vikings' games he would be yelling and also throwing stuff. They had an unfinished basement and she got a TV there and just banished him to it during games.

    My wife would do that. I am banished to our bedroom quite often. Probably tonight too. I’m not well behaved enough to watch it on the big screen in the living room.

    All this has to be in the back of evoldis mind. Will be interesting to see if he’s aggressive going inside. If he hits someone they have to toss him right? Since we’re assuming intentions, that’s clearly a you hit my guy, I hit yours scenerio

    I hear you. The hardest part I have here isn't that I flip out when something bad happens to the Astros but my celebrations. That'swhat really annoys people here. I got some pretty negative reactions at Target Field when I would wave the Twins Homer Hanky every time the Astros hit a home run.

    Even though the Twins are out of it I still have to restrain myself watching the game with Minnesotans. I just need my own space to let go and do this:

    I think it has to be in both team's mind but it benefits the Astros.

    IMO, The Rangers can not win this game without Eovaldi giving them at least 4 (probably more) quality innings.

    The Astros could survive, as they simply have more quality and trustworthy arms available.

    Framber also is a pitcher known for movement and lesser command so could get the benefit of the doubt more than Eovaldi, though neither is likely to survive a HBP.

    Framber: 10 hit batters this year plus 1 already in this series.

    Eovaldi: only 1 hit batter all season and never one in 62.2 IP in his post season career.

    Framber isn’t really a power pitcher, he needs to hit the corners. Watch the Umps have a tight zone today screwing the Astros.
