    The critics are different from veteran Houston sports fans. They did it cause we were the odds on favorite. Houston sports fans should know, nothing is guaranteed.

    Very bad, but could've been worse.

    Now score some runs, historic offense.

    This. They saw something(s) and are exploiting the hell out of it.

    Hoping that is it for JV. Give the bullpen a chance.

    If we can’t score more than 3 runs we don’t deserve to win

    3-0 ain’t ****. This offense can put up 9-10 runs in the blink of an eye. However, we are going to have to go to Urquidy earlier than expected at some point.

    JV tends to be such a creature of habit. Not surprised at all at this situation with short rest.

    It’s simple, NO MATTER who pitches for us we have got to route some GD base paths for some serious runs or it won’t matter.....captain obvious at your service

    This decision worked out great. Now it will be winner take all and instead of two aces we will have 1. Should have start Urquidy. If we won great if we didn’t we had game 5 with Cy young 1 pitching and Cy young 2 backing him up.

    I blame this on Wade Miley. Dude had to go wet the bed after the trade deadline leaving us with no viable 4. PUTZ

    All pitchers are "creatures of habit".

    It was desperate. You were the team up 2-1.
    Of course the shitty bats have to come alive at the shithole stadium (not optimistic)

    I think he will settle down and give us another 2-3 innings now. Thankfully he didn’t give up 5 runs.

    I guess you have a short memory on what the Astros can do.

    Let's get the runs back. Verlander has nothing. No point in pitching him more
