    Astros aren't a good team, that's pretty evident right now. If Keuchel doesn't get it together, though I think he will, whats the future like for this team? We went in big on this season and some of the guys that we could have relied upon in the future are no longer here. That particualrly hurts in the starting pitching department. I'm not going to use hindsight to rail on Lunhow as I was pumped after the offseason but I'm not sure where the team goes from here.

    They will survive losing Vince Velazquez and Mark Appel.

    This is just unwatchable these days. Much like watching the Rockets play. Unbearable.

    What the hell happened to Keichul? The Twins are terrible yet they look good against the Stros..

    Nope! They are (an unlikely) a grand slam away. Need to keep it that way.

    If he isn't 90-91 on his fastball, he is mortal.... Add less than pinpoint control and you have a AAA player performance wise. He has increased his velocity 1-2 mph since the season opened but now his pinpoint control has been off. He will figure it out and finish the season with an era in the 3's and 15 wins.

    Wow, just saw an ESPN stat on Keuchel... (don't quote me because the screen left quickly)

    He has 2 starts this season allowing 5+ walks.... his previous 4 seasons, 1 total :eek:
