    There’s a group of fans who tell you it’s science. It’s just a statistical anomaly. A blip. Just dumb luck that we caught a bad streak at the wrong time. They’re partially right.

    There’s a group of fans I relate to better. I took at bats in what I perceived to be big moments. Even though they were tiny compared to what the Astros are dealing with right now. But sometimes the moment is too big for the player in that moment. And something he might be capable of he’s virtually incapable of in that moment. People who think that way and may have experienced a bit of that are partially right too.

    I hope so...but with how they are hitting...

    They need a big momentum play, 2 or 3 run homer or something...

    Otherwise it feels like they are going to go gently into that goodnight.

    Game wasn't over at 4-0 yesterday, not over at 2-0 today. We can overcome 2 runs HOWEVER, I DON'T want to get into the pen...DK has to hold the line for us.

    Should have saved Keuchel for Game 6 and have Verlander in game 7.

    This game is over. The Astros are averaging fewer than 2 earned runs a game this series.

    Panic moves are being made after the panic move of pulling Lance yesterday has put us in said panic state.

    Man...this thread rivals any of the worst GARM playoff threads. Just incredibly pessimistic. Which begs the question...if you are so sure its "over" why are you here commenting and torturing yourself?

    Call me whatever you want, I'm sticking with my team. Ride or Die. Lets go Astros!

    Surely we are not going to look at the first pitch all day.

    Everybody here is still rooting for the astros. Knowing they are going to lose does not mean you aren't rooting for them.
