What a quality start by Kikuchi, still undefeated when he pitches, that inning is what we always need, getting on base and starting a rally, 4 game win streak, 5 games ahead of Seattle, Wish all the best to Yuli in Kansas City, still rock his jersey and congrats to Orbit on making the hall of fame
I’m got hurt playing baseball young in California it was my life! I lost my love for it and when Barry bonds won the ws with the giants was the last time I watched baseball then I moved here Astros have changed my love for them ✅☑️
Can there be any doubt, we must sign Kikuchi. We save $30.5M when Bregman walks and $17.5M when Verlander goes. Some of that $48M must be used to sign Kikuchi.
I admit, I hated the Kikuchi trade when we made it. Thought we gave up way too much and maybe we did, but we’ve gotten an ace’s production. 3-0 with a 2.57 era is number 1 starter numbers.
Yeah I agree. Thought giving up Loperfido was a huge mistake cuz he seems like a young Christian Yelich (ESPN featured him as such) with that nice swing of his and excellent defense. Broke my heart to find out he was traded away but Yusei has really been a great pain reliever for me to get over that loss!
Yainer is so clutch!!! He seems to get a hit at just the right time. That's what makes him great. I would leave him at that spot right behind Yordan. Don't mess with that dynamic for nothing!!! Put Tucker behind Yainer whenever he comes back. A clutch bat or two is what we were missing last year!!! Yainer was it, but Baker was too stuck in his old ways!!! Caratini is also clutch!!! These guys remind me of former astros Moises Alou and Carlos Beltran!!! Clutch guys. Not in their greatness, but clutch wise!!!
That obvious full swing by Fermin, was strike 3 and Caratini caught it but yet it was still called a BALL?! I mean, WTF was that call?!?! That made completely NO SENSE!😠 Playoff pitching rotation should be in this order: Valdez Kikuchi, Brown, and unbelievably, Verlander as your #4 pitcher! Blanco and Arrighetti would be in the pen as long relievers if any of the starters falters. Whitcomb, Dezenzo, and Cabbage are promising young players but are too green to be playing playoff baseball and Astros management getting guys like Gamel and Heyward were wise pickups to have on our team for the postseason. Both play excellent defense and Gamel has been a very nice surprise at the plate. Can't believe all the winning we're doing without Tucker in the lineup so imagine how DANGEROUS these Astros are going to be along with all the great pitching we have! Astros are only 3 games out from #2 seed and I'm watching Cleveland closely as they're slowly, but surely, losing their grip on that spot! GO STROS!!❤
Astros have all the pieces to win the WS. They just need to methodically rest players so they can perform optimally during the post season. They have a lot of injuries still!!!
@@akitas8165 Gurriel hit for average many years with the Stros - including being batting champ in 2022 and being a clutch hitter in the playoffs- so WTF are you talking about? Love my namesake, Diaz, but u dissing Gurriel based on his last season or two with the Astros was totally wrong. Know the facts, bro.
@@benoberle9312 Was Espada lucky when the team took first in the AL West despite a 12-24 start? Yall wanna blame this man for everything. We won, don’t be so miserable. Edit: Also just FYI Jon is terrible against lefties. Guess what the Royals started today?
Yainer Diaz is the best offensive catcher in baseball. Yusei continues to be an automatic W. This team can absolutely win the WS, no doubt in my mind.

What is an offensive catcher?
Man, Baker should've started him all year in 2023

Kikuchi is just our good luck charm at this point
Definitely a win win trade
Gamel was the reason we won this game
@@ZacTexC what he meant was that because Astros are undefeated when Kikuchi pitches, that’s our good luck charm
DFA stands for designated for Astros lol
Orbit in the mascot hall of fame congratulations
Man, that was an old, old school pitcher's battle through five. The hitters on both sides were bamboozled.

4連勝！菊池選手が加入してから負けなしは凄い！明日も勝ってスイープしよう！
The Astros are doing this despite the absence of Kyle Tucker and 5 starting pitchers.
Sure hope Tucksr.makes it back in time to get back in sync for the playoffs.
@@Lone_Star_ProudHe said himself that he plans to be back our next home stand
Astros are doing good with out them you see Verlander lost 2 games that is my point of view.
@@shadowariciaga402 to be honest I Rather have someone else pitch for us in playoff besides verlander just don't trust him to be consistent
And with everybody still praying on their downfall
When the Astros win, America wins.

Call NASA but also call an Ambulance for the Royals. Go Astros!
Kikuchi went more than 5.2 innings!!
He always could, but Espada panics and pulls him.
They skipped the double steal by alvarez and diaz
That was the funniest part!
Great series so far foing for the sweep tomorrow and I will definitely be there in person. Kikuchi was clutch,Gamel and Pena came thru in the clutch
Keep rolling Stros!!!
I went to that game and the astros offense was amazing
Those pitches from Ki were beautiful. So were the swings from KC. Baseball is such joy. Hello September! Astros looking spectacular. 🎯
Pitchers are fresh with 6 man rotation!!
We just keep finding a way. Keep grinding boys. 👏👏👏
3-0 AGAINST THE ROYALS!!!! Also congrats to Orbit for the Hall of Fame ring!!!!!!

Kick ass Kikuchi!!! Way to get the win y’all! Shout out to Orbit!!! Let’s keep this H-Town heat streak going! 🤘🏾💪🏾❤️
All right, clean game with no 2015 ALDS Game 4 flashbacks!
GO ASTROS!!! 🤘🏼😎⚾️🚀
Just was there great game! Go stros 🧡

Ragans put our boys in a BLENDER! 😮🔥
Update…up until they climbed out of that blender 😂
Call NASA? That ball didn’t even go over the tracks. 🙄
Royals claiming all the former Astros, except Pham
Go Orbit!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Go ‘stros!
It's a shame that Ragans will end up in a Yankees uniform within a couple years.
Yainer Diaz is our new Gurriel
Except he has an actual batting average.
