    Short did what he should’ve done and what I wish more hitters would do and simply go with the pitch and punch the ball the other way. Cam does it often.

    I wish, no way Crane would even think about a 7 year deal you had suggested. He doesn’t even give those out to position players. Honestly it’s a good policy with pitchers.

    Except Drabek and Swindell didn't help the Astros win 2 World Series titles.

    Those of you that have said for most of Hader's 26 save opportunities that he's going to blow it can finally say you were right all along. It just took a Crawford Box special tonight.

    I know it’s not here but it just looks funny seeing all 5 6” of Altuve just stand, turn around and watch HRs go out in left. The Semien blast especially

    Remember when Chas only hit homers to the opposite field? Memba when he crushed lefties?

    I miss those days.

    I saw some fans waving a "ZACK YALL" sign in the stands in the crowd after the walk-off. Wonder if those are Short's family or just random Zach Short fans.

    The Grocer did everything right by signing those guys...it just didn't work out.

    Even though we had a 4 game mini-slump we only lost 1 game off the lead, and we have Brown going tomorrow.

    Just got to get all our pitchers back - and see if McCullers can find his curve ball...

    And his fast ball, and his slider, and his sinker, and his cutter, and his change up
