Had no idea we're on a better pace than last year. Unreal.

 

Nevermind, read that wrong, apologies.

 

they've been doing it for a while now i think. someone even asked correa about it on twitter yesterday

 

They're not that far off. 2015 Astros were 75-62 on 9/6. That actually represented their end-of-season peak, as they would finish the year 11-14.

I'd say there's a 50-50 shot that this year's team finishes with a better record than last year's team.... in fact, if they're hoping for playoffs, they better well assure they finish with more than 86 wins.

 

It's been a fun month for sure! This one felt like a goner after the 3rd(?) inning bases loaded on the walk down 3-0 to boot.....but great comeback.

Feels good to win a 1 run game....

This season has been pretty crazy, so many lows and highs.
