https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/?year=2018&month=07&day=18#standings-upto-AL-W::none For those curious like me, 1 year ago today we had a 5 game lead in the division over Seattle and 8 games on Oakland. Pretty similar disposition as last year at this time.
Win tonight and that's a hard fought 4-4 road trip over two teams that are over .500 and had been playing well in recent weeks.
Yep... and with Correa/Diaz on the verge of coming back, and with hopefully a trade deadline move. Going to be a very different team come 8/1.
Springer CF Altuve 2B Bregman 3B Brantley LF Correa SS Alvarez DH Gurriel 1B Reddick RF Chirinos C is going to put up a ton of runs. I think we are going to be fine, and I trust Lunhow will pick up a pitcher or two.
White never fails to impress. I would create a drinking game based on his at bats. But come next week I won't have to worry about that much brain power.
Hinch will tie Dierker for wins as an Astros manager with a win tonight. To me, that says a lot about what Larry Dierker did with teams not even close to this good.
