Yesterday we solved Merrill Kelly. Today, we need to solve Jacob DeGrom. Let’s get it boys!
**Let’s go boys!!! Full sweep!🧹🧹**
SWEEP. THOSE. HOES. I’ve got a million Rangers fans, living so close to DFW. They love to give me crap, but I stay silent. I wait. For times like this. And in the event that we win tonight, sweep the mall cops, and take the Silver Boot….the shit I will give allllll of them will be endless. In perpetuity.

* 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)

Let’s GOOOOO!

Silver boot on the line!
Light up DeGrandpa and keep that Silver Boot for another year boys
Stros strong 💪, let’s win one more
Dear Lord Baby Jesus, or as our brothers to the south call you, Jesús, we thank you so much for this bountiful harvest of Christian Javier, Zach Cole, and the always delicious Jake Meyers. I just want to take time to say thank you for my family, my two beautiful, beautiful, handsome, striking short stops, Carlos Correa and Jeremy Peña, or J.P. as we call him, and of course, my red-hot smoking 2nd baseman, Jose Altuve who is a stone-cold fox. Who if you were to rate his ass on a hundred, it would easily be a 94. Also wanna thank you for my best friend and Manager, Joe Espada who’s got my back no matter what. Shake and Bake.
Dear Lord Baby Jesus, we also thank you for my team’s biggest hope right now, the Kansas City Royals. We hope that you can use your Baby Jesus powers to heal them and their horrible lineup. And it smells terrible and the dogs are always bothering with it… anyway please overcome the evil Witchery the Mariner witches have brought upon the AL and Astros.
Thank you for all your power and your grace, dear baby God. Amen.

Please Jobu. We call on you to bless these Astros boys with a strong lead, patience at bats, great base running, and no LOBster left on the dinner table. Also please let the Rangers make multiple costly mistakes.
That play Cam Smith made in the 9th last night scared the shit out of me.
I won’t say he got lucky….it bounced true, but I think he only comes up with that ball 50% of the time at best.
Even if we make the playoffs I’m not confident we go on a deep run, but please Astros if you win tonight and keep the Silver Boot in Houston, the season will not be a wash.
In the last game against us we made him DeLoser. I hope nothing has changed since then

pls
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our Astro ~~dead~~ injured.
Let’s get that boot tonight and keep it where it belongs!
Go stros!
What are the odds we win any games with no sweat the rest of the season. A win is a win but we need some easy wins to save arms or else we are going to start losing a lot of games in later innings

Today’s a good day for new boot goofing!
The boys have showed incredible grit these last couple of games. I hope they continue to dig deep and wipe their sweaty hogs with those filthy rags.
Gonna be honest. Kinda have to win this won and not get swept by Seattle. Let’s go!
We’re 2-1 against DeGrom this season. He has pitched well against us, but if we can run up his pitch count and score 2-3 runs then we have a good chance to tack on more against their bullpen. His last outing, Yordan and Walker homered and Diaz had an RBI double to tack on one more. We *need* to be patient and work the count. Please limit the 1 pitch outs. I hope Paredes is in the dugout preaching patience tonight.
