All series talk goes in here. Non series talk goes somewhere else. No PVP that can be found from other sources if you need it. All games are broadcast on Root Sports unless otherwise noted. 5-17 Dallas Keuchel, LHP (2-5, 5.58) vs. Carlos Rodon, LHP (1-4, 4.99) 7:10 5-18 Doug Fister, RHP (3-3, 4.22) vs. Mat Latos, RHP (5-0, 3.40)7:10 5-19 Collin McHugh, RHP (4-3, 5.58) vs. Chris Sale, LHP (8-0, 1.67) 7:10
done with trying to hope for wins. Let's see how the kids do. Predicting a Chris Sale 20K and/or no-no
Be interesting to see the line-up card for today and onward through this series, obviously with a special eye for Kemp and Moran.
not really scared of any teams. we will be probably be leading into the 9th inning in 2 of these games.....
This has the feeling of last year... going to Chicago.... Correa being called up... Maybe these new guys, Kemp and Moran, can provide the needed jolt. But I don't like the idea of playing the chi sox RN. Big series.

Luhnow: "We're going to face three first place teams in next week. We have a chance to make a statement. I believe in this group. They need to pick each other up. I'm optimistic & will continue to be. If we're still sitting here well below .500 at All-Star break, it's a different story." — Randy McIlvoy
This is a statement series. If Astros fall too much further details in the standing, this might be it for the seasons is postseason aspiration. Wining 2 out of three is going to be a necessity.
