    Our WS run was epic, couldn’t have gone through a more hated group and they did it in an unbelievable fashion.

    He's regressed from the minors ;-) he'll get more comfortable to major league pitching and get back to his old self.

    Aaron Sanchez sporting a 6.07 era opens at -200 tomorrow; LOL this team is stacked for that line to come out.

    When McHugh misses, he's waaaaaay off.

    You know, it's one thing to have an incredibly talented pitching staff, but the amazing thing to me is how willing they are to learn from each other.

    Nobody is too big to think they know it all. Everyone is willing to make adjustments to their game. I don't know if Lunhow did extensive research to make sure he got these kinds of guys, but it really does seem rare to have so many great pitchers with that kind of mentality.

    Exactly what I was thinking. Every game vs the mariners is around -200 or more.

    You might want to lose that advertisement in your signature. It’s generally frowned upon, especially when it dominates your posts.

    Brantley and Bregman go 0 for 9 and we still win 10-2. This team is amazing.

    If I were a baseball team, I wouldn't want to play the Astros.

    One of the best things of tonight's game was seeing Verlander and Greinke standing there in the dugout talking to each other. Then the camera moves over and Cole and Miley are talking. Then at some point, one of our announcers mentions that Aaron Sanchez said he's completely thrilled to come learn from these amazing guys. Those are the words we want to hear.

    Not bad company.

    I'll admit that I didn't know know who Tris Speaker was. Just a .345 career hitter, and the all-time leader in doubles. Ya know, as you do...

    Altuve not even in the top three? We only want winners in Houston. Trade him.

    Well, in his defense, he's technically tied for third with some dude named Hank Aaron. But you're not gonna beat two As in a last name on a list.
