    Unbelievable! When Correa came up I thought that maybe we would tie it, but Valbuena is on some kind of hot streak!

    I seriously can't believe it!

    To reiterate, there is no clock in baseball and it's a 9 inning game and a 162 game season.

    Valbuena has been sensational for two months now. He's looking like a keeper. Please keep it up!

    You know, that steal by Altuve (seemingly meaningless at the time) turned out to be a huge play. Without it (and everything being the same), Correa would not have been able to reach first on the strikeout.

    Man, some more magic for this team. Harris was due for something terrible. Despite the great era and not giving up XBH, he's hasn't been lights out. Wouldn't be surprised if team picked up a "true" closer, or maybe they give Giles a go. Little Papi Valbuena mashing right now.

    Yep. It's like all the people who were hyped up to begin the season left after they struggled... And now they're all back expecting to win every night and predictably get dissapointed when it doesn't happen.

    Epic win tonight... Although I don't think this and the Seattle game earlier this week are "well played" games, good teams find a way to win them (and bad teams find a way to lose them).

    I love Valbiena's interview. "Harris, he's no good today!"

    Lol! Luis was though! WTG Astros!

    We got rid of kangeroo, and I swear he's been replaced by 2 insufferable posters.

    Nature finds a way.

    Did Correa swing on purpose?

    I'll add again, in honor of the great JD: another bloop and a blast

    What dumbass said that?

    You can't call them procrastinators, why put off until tomorrow what you can do today?

    I looked down to write the same thing that I thought he did it on purpose and the next thing I know my daughter is screaming about LVs shot. That ball was 5 feet in front of the plate and CC is pretty cool at the plate as a rule.

    To be fair, this definitely should've been an expected win. 3 run lead in the 9th and giving up 5, c'mon that is severely disappointing.

    No. That's crazy talk. There were 3 balls.

    Anybody know if Altuve was on first and Correa gets the strike out that bounces is he automatically out cause Altuve is on first?
