    Heck of a season. Glad to have winning baseball back in town. The Future is bright.

    It's time to remove Altuve from header and put Correa instead.

    Very true. It hurts but what's done is done. Learning experience for all involved. Better bullpen and a better DH next season and we'll be ready to roll. AJ Reed is coming up also next season I believe.

    Good season we could have won the division if Hinch did not use the crappy bullpen as much

    Fire Hinch he sucks

    It was a very good year for this Astros team.

    At the beginning i was only expecting 81 or 82 wins.

    After the start we had, going to the playoffs, we did.

    After losing game 4 i did not expect our team to win as we did not had a good bullpen to compete vs the Royals, we lost leads in all 3 loses.

    We need to improve our bullpen, and some other moves i think should happen, but all and all, it was a good year.

    Maybe we should spend $40 million this offseason.

    This was a very enjoyable and unexpected postseason opportunity for the Astros.

    It's 2015, and baseball is back in Houston - kindly let everybody know!

    Thank you to the Astros for the tremendous season and making baseball in Houston fun again.

    Thank you to the Astros for also giving the city something other than the garbage Texans to root for until the Rockets come back!

    It was fun. Though you don't want your team to go out like this, you appreciate how far they got at least. 2nd lowest payroll in the majors got them this far compared to the Yankees payroll? I'll take it. There's still room to add more veterans and for the young guys to grow. I'll miss them.

    I like the future because i really think Luthnow is very good, one of best GM in baseball, and he will make the necessary moves to continue improving the club.

    As depressed as I am now with having to wait till April to watch the Astros again, looking back what a fun ****ing season.

    The hot start
    Keuchel starting the ASG and having a Cy Young season
    Multiple walk offs at home
    The team making splash moves at the trade deadline
    Fiers pitching the first ever no hitter at MMP
    Altuve with another 200 hit season
    The call ups of Correa, McCullers, Velasquez, Tucker
    The birth of Club Astros and seeing them celebrate during the playoffs
    Seeing MMP packed again

    So much fun. Can't wait till next April

    Good season.... but not great season because of how it ended.

    Still a number of young players emerged, GREAT season for farm system and a lot to look forward to.

    Very curious to see what budget constraints are and what moves are made.
