    We have been lighting it UP. I'm worried we might run out of runs when we get to the World Series.

    No such thing has saving runs. You see the ball, and you hit it. The Astros will be fine.....especially with how masterfully Hinch is managing the roster in terms of rest.

    One of the major differences between GSW and the Astros (other than the size the ball they play with):

    Douchebaggery.

    One team has it, the other doesn't.

    Stros are also capable of beating healthy teams.

    Except the Warriors have beaten plenty of healthy teams in the regular season. It's the Playoffs where they haven't really done that, and the Astros have yet to prove anything in the Playoffs.

    Baseball and basketball are pretty different and the comparison just doesn't work.

    We might be the GS of MLB if we got another 2 aces or McCullers developed into a surefire ace.... even then other teams have ace's. Playoffs is built around pitching.

    In short .. this thread sucks

    Not hardly. The astros are good, but they can be beaten, and there are many teams that are close to the astros.

    The astros would have to have a pitching lineup of: chris sale, dallas, mcullers, and ervin Santana and closer Craig Kimbrel, and then add Mike Trout to the team.

    Was talking playoffs. Astros made a very good run in 2015.
    Give the Spurs a healthy team and Warriors might not even be here. The Astros are currently better than the rest of the league.
