[Official] Astros @ Angels

lulz

 

He'd be a great add after the ALDS, if they get to make that decision.

 

"Why is Jack Mayfield taking up a roster spot [in September]?"

 

...and this is why Joe Smith is allowed to face RHB only. I guarantee he won't see a lefty again this year.

 

HR totals, all 3 topped the record set last year by NYY:

Min: 307
NYY: 306
Hou: 288

Stros win the SLG% challenge by .001 over the Twins .495 (which is a MLB record) to .494, thanks to Goodwin losing Diaz's "double" in the sun.

 

I would have let Devo finish this out

 

Doubt it had anything to do with what Devo did today, just getting pitches in for Harris.

I trust the Hinch/Luhnow bullpen spreadsheet.

 

I don’t but I’m pretty sure it has happened within the last month am I right?

 

Well there you go! I was under the influence

 

I somebody doesn't dress Yuli up as Beaker for Halloween I'll be very disappointed.

 

Best Astros regular season ever. One of the best ever by any team. What a treasure it was.

11 more wins, guys. You got this.

 

Crazy that they were able to win 107 games with Correa only playing 75 gms, Altuve 123 and Springer 121.

Flat out incredible!!!

 

Great to see the offense walking up again... just the right time, too.

 

JV and Cole the only 20 game winners in MLB this year.

 

Pumped!!! Great season fellas

 

Will Harris finishes the year with the best reliever ERA in the American League. I wonder what his chances might be for Reliever of the Year. It's hard to beat closers for that award, but it's no longer unprecedented thanks to Josh Hader last year. That would be quite a thing to see after the past couple years of not knowing whether to trust him or not. Good job, Will Harris.

 

You have to go all the way back to last night

 

And yet hinch won’t get recognized unfortunately for the 3rd year

 

I'm guessing he makes ALDS. He throws enough strikes, is able to get swings and misses in the zone, and gets batters to make bad decisions (swinging at balls, looking at strikes). I think being able to get swings and misses in the zones is more important in the playoffs when one faces more disciplined hitters much like it is for closers in the 9th when batters are more patient.

 

Could you imagine the type of numbers Springer would have ended up with if he didn't get hurt. About 70 more at bats would have meant that he would be pushing 50 homeruns and 120 RBIs
