    Silver lining - same record as Yankees since trade deadline and they made trades and aren't missing Judge and Sanchez (their Springtime/CC equivalents)

    Tonight was a flashback to the Astro baseball of the not so distant past.

    I find it ironic that a rookie from U/H came and shut down Astros tonight.
    On a positive note, the bullpen looked good.

    Not so great teams win games. So do not so great pitchers.

    Oof, that's the ultimate slam, IMO. Even during the World Series year, I always hated the mercurial nature of the team. Win big one night; score zero runs for a pitcher that only gave up one run on the other nights. This new team entranced me because of its consistency and versatility, not its flashy numbers.

    Hopefully, this is just a team slump that gets rectified when we get a few more people healthy. And thank God for the flashy lead we do have, so we can absorb some of these losses. Still, though, I don't like min/max baseball. C'mon, guys.

    I can't imagine how we fare against Chris Sale or Kluber in the playoff even with a healthy springer and correa

    Speaks to the depth of the organization that they can have two of their best three hitters on the DL, two/three other good, proven hitters on the bench, and still be able to put out a lineup with 5+ .800 OPS hitters.

    I'm actually interested to see what Reed can do tonight. And how he looks.
