Today’s Extra Innings - the Astros Fans UK next-day recap:
Game 24 - Astros 9-2 Guardians
Check out ‘3 Up, 3 Down’ as I look at a crushing offense-powered victory to open the series in Cleveland & snap the L streak.
What were YOUR takes on the win?
#ChaseTheFight #Astros
The bullpen also delivered with 4 scoreless innings at last. The key now: replicate the win tomorrow. #Astros
Paredes & Walker in particular were superb & supported by Correa plus intelligent ABs from others, while Spencer Arrighetti may not have been spectacular but did enough to provide the platform we needed, with his clutch strikeout of Ramirez in the 4th the highlight.
A superb collective response to the recent slide, with a dominant display from our offense in Cleveland, clubbing the Guardians out of the game with the tone set in a 1st inning littered with hard contact.
Tonight’s @AstrosFansUK Player Of The Game powered by Texas Joe’s BBQ: Isaac Paredes!
Building on the clutch hit from yesterday, Paredes was brilliant with 2 trademark crushed homers over left, the first a go-ahead shot, plus another base hit. Congratulations Isaac! #Astros

Today’s Extra Innings - the Astros Fans UK next-day recap:
Game 23 - Astros 5-7 Cardinals (10 innings)
Check out ‘3 Up, 3 Down’ as I look at a brutal 4th straight loss in extras to confirm the sweep.
What were YOUR takes on the loss & series sweep?
#ChaseTheFight #Astros
It’s wild & a massive indictment of the quality of the AL West division that we have been so bad & yet are only 3.5 games back from the division lead.
- Brice Matthews drops an awful cameo appearance.
- King gives up 3 runs.
- We battle to the last out but can’t complete another comeback.
Brutal. #Astros
- Yordan Alvarez homers (again), before a dramatic Isaac Paredes game-tying slump-buster off a top closer.
- Bryan King barely escapes to get us though the 9th.
- Joe Espada makes a terrible error to keep a spent, rocking King in there for the 10th.
This year’s edition of the Astros unlock another variant of brutal defeat, consigning us to a 4th straight loss & yet another sweep:
- Mike Burrows is brilliant, perfect even, for 4.2IP then just disintegrates.

What were YOUR takes on the loss?
#ChaseTheFight #Astros
If your pitching is below standard in MLB you will be punished, it’s impossible to hide. The immediate future for this team is genuinely alarming. That we’re wasting a spectacularly great start to the season by Yordan Alvarez in the process is actually criminal. #Astros
Another defeat to lose the series inside 2 games, continuing a seemingly perpetual line of losses already this season that emphasise how historically poor our bullpen is & how badly our pitching staff as a whole has been constructed.

Check out ‘3 Up, 3 Down’ as I look at the key points from a loss in a slugging-heavy series opener with yet more bullpen woes.
What were YOUR takes on the loss?
#ChaseTheFight #Astros
Defeat in a slugging-filled start to the series. After Peter Lambert recovered well from self-inflicted damage, our bats backed him up with solo homers but wasted huge chances for multi-run innings, unlike the Cardinals who did just that vs our beleaguered & hapless bullpen. #Astros
The Astros’ window to extend Cam Smith is closing. Will they even try? - www.nytimes.com/athletic/720...
