Congratulations to Martin “Machete” Maldonado on an incredible baseball career.
A phenomenal catcher who made pitchers better, who played with heart and became a champion.
He announced his retirement on instagram. He would love to coach at some point.
What a truly remarkable run by the Astros from 2017-2024:
- 8 consecutive trips to the postseason
- 2 World Series championships
- 4 American League pennants
- 7 straight trips to the ALCS
- 7 AL West titles
- 99 playoff games
- Countless champagne celebrations
2022 truly was such an insane year.
Astros throw a no-hitter in the World Series and of course Ryan Pressly locks it down.
0.00 ERA in 10 games for Pressly that postseason. Absolutely lights out
Today could be Alex Bregman's final regular season game in Houston as an Astro
He was removed for a defensive replacement so the fans could give him a standing ovation
This is so awesome.
Ronel Blanco and his wife had a baby yesterday. He left the hospital after being there all day. Went to pitch. And was told he made the @astros starting rotation as he walked off the mound.
Every single detail of this photo is perfect.
