[Official] Astros @ Athletics

Obviously the starting point is we must win both of Browns starts. Then we have to hope for a miracle that Valdez has one more great game in him. And then we have to figure out how to win one of the other two games.

 

Absolutely have to win the next 2 games to have a chance. It is still the hitting that is the problem. I’m confident Brown will give us a good start, who knows with Framber.

 

It will be bad.

 

I tend to be an optimistic realist, instead of a pessimistic realist. Guess I’m wishy-washy. Baseball is a crazy sport. You just never know.

 

Projected coaching staff?

 

I have hoped Framber would be good his last 10 starts.

Mentally he isn't with it.

He's a good pitcher when he doesn't let a pass ball, bloop hit, or an error bother him.

 

Baseball is old and overrated

Houston is more of a volleyball town these days anyway.

 

Not Joe Espada, that's all I ask.

 

Perezchica should just be a fielding coach... he somehow made Walker, Altuve, and Meyers into worse baserunners.

 

...what about misplaced fielders?

 

Espada is treating Urias really well

 

Took Gary Pettis at 3B for granted

 

Those shorts were designed for Houston women in mind.

 

Christian Vasquez can relate.

 

For sure

 

With the exception of 1 or 2 hopium series, the arrow’s been trending down for a couple months now. Possible? Yes. But I wouldn’t bet on it

 

Forgot Correa played short.

 

Prediction: the Astros win tonight in dominant fashion.

 

Ok so Boston has left us in the dust. If Boston sweeps Toronto, they will be within 2 of Toronto and will fight for the division and a bye (vs Detroit).

So now it's only down to whether we can jump past Detroit or Cleveland.

I think Detroit is gonna finish 86-76.

Can we go 3-2 the rest of the way?

 

Yeah it’s pretty clearly down to Detroit and Houston fighting the battle of who sucks least.
