We are better than the Yankees, Rays and A's. I'm talking about our approach at the plate, you should watch closely. Not looking like the regular 105 win Astros.
I swear, Astros 3000 somethings are ugly. Remember Biggio's 3000th hit.. he tried for an extra base and got out on his 3000th hit, lol. Now Verlander's 3000th strikeout gets on base and scores a run, lol!
I am watching closely. Nothing is wrong with Astros approach. This is baseball. Sometimes it takes more than 5 innings to score runs.
Astros better get their collective heads out of their butts or it will be a short playoff season. Their offense has been putrid for a week now. of course if we lose this one and tomorrow is must win because the Dodgers will win then Cole can go out and throw a complete game shut out while striking out 18. That will guarantee him the Cy Young
Especially considering it was Taveras, a former teammate, I'd have just not thrown and conceded the double on hit 3000. It would have meant the world to him. Of course, I understand the situation and all, but still, as a fan of the game, I really hate those things.
Hinch has (reasonably) stepped off the gas. Once the playoffs start, its gonna be the murderers' row again instead of a bunch of backups at the bottom of the lineup.
ALTUVE!!!!!!! And one crazy moron suggested we look into trading him? I understand he started the season slowly, but once he got healthy, he went on a tear and put up probably his best numbers ever. Looks like he REALLY wants 6 consecutive >300 AVG seasons. Hope he gets it.
look at these stros. terrible approaches at the plate. looking at an early playoff exit they don't deserve the #1 seed
