The boot is at stake this series. Please win. Some would say the Silver Boot is the most important trophy in baseball. I wouldn’t say that, but I’m sure someone out there does.
Wonder who the starting pitcher will be today? I think it was supposed to be spaghetti but he’s down for the season
This series will define our chances at post season, either we step up or get folded into 2nd or 3rd place

I’m ready for the pain.

I’m tired boss, can we go one game without some news story emerging:
* Ward face laceration and complaining about the stadium
* Framber – Salazar
* Complaints about borderline calls
* Boone bitch fit about a worn down bag

* When you think an Astro is about to hit a home run, comment ‘HRC [Astro]’.
* If you get it right on that plate appearance, you get a point and another go! Otherwise, wait until tomorrow.
* I’ll monitor successful picks and publish the leaderboard in the GDT before first pitch every day. Let me know if you think I’ve missed you, or if you have any other questions.
I’m happy to count HRCs on the live game chat on [Discord](https://discord.gg/astros) as well, but please stick to the one HRC per game rule regardless of platform (if your username on there isn’t the same as on Reddit I might have to PM you to get it).
This year’s leaderboard can be found [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQ8ey4k91fenJFciUznfFFw7UoS5k_m1BdEGnf6q-OX8gkSRlvo_t_GN8RXxepHmSvLxkjqJGMpbkvv/pubhtml)
Last year’s leaderboard is archived [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRXu9bzxDM-H8fiPMPg1JzWvn5dNMkQ3ZI8riMiSVpwLi3WN7AJ1FWsy_Ajqw3VhoH52AKsKPumqVxL/pubhtml)
Astros in disarray. Come on guys, lets get it together. That lineup looks really good. Let’s show some poise. We are in the home stretch for the playoffs. It’s just a little slump and you can get hot at just the right time – going into the playoffs. LETS GO STROS !
We gotta step it up here
Y’know it’s funny how “Cowboys fans also root for the Yankees” became a meme because in my experience (tbf living in South Texas) Cowboys-Astros is *by far* the most common fandom combo, even more than Texans-Astros.
Lets goo another chance for the first step to our 3rd WS starts tonight!!
Not optimistic for this series for some reason
Fuck the Rangers

I am very optimistic, Yordan is playing on another level.. altuve and Correa can’t stay cold for ever… pena looks good, cam is making a resurgence, hopefully walker continues what he has done in July and August. Jake is coming back and potentially also Isaac so we are not in that bad of a shape.

Who will start? This is a really important game.
