    Ron Don Osuna is going to end up being the most effective and filthy closing combo come playoffs.

    That is false.

    There was plenty of crying.

    And a few claiming they would be cheering him on once he shut the door down on someone.

    Case and point.

    People deserve second chances.

    The Sunday game was the game we were going to see originally but we ended up flying in early and watching the Friday game instead. Other than the Ohtani HR off Verlander the Stros manhandled the Angels Friday night. There was quite a few Astro fans in attendance. Always good to see Astro fans at away games something that you rarely saw until recently. We need to put Oakland in their place the next 3 games. We need to come to the game Monday night ready to hit the friggin baseball. The next three games most important series so far this year.

    "Case in point"

    You deserve a second chance too.

    Whatever else...ok.

    Great series !! Sweep, plus some stat-padding.

    We'll see if the offense can do similar at home. Pitching too because it also regresses.

    Pretty sure no one who was bothered by the domestic abuse stuff has changed their viewpoint on him. No one questioned that he was a good pitcher, so I'm not sure why you think performing like a good pitcher would change anyone's opinions.

    Right....I don't think anyone was thinking that they were wasting prospects on a less than talented pitcher. No problems with his talent.

    Because some people have a need to be right, even when no one was asking a question.

    Astros are ONE game AHEAD of last year's pace.

    This would be great on two fronts.

    1) we're the best, obvious
    2) we likely hit others's

    Unfortunately, Oakland is at the same pace as the Astros 2017 pace.

    Where were these bandwagon fans on the road during the 100 loss seasons?

    Closer Edwin Diaz is having a Career Season of 50 saves for the Mariners. Blake Treinan is a Great Closer also. Roberto Osuna fills a huge void for the Astros, at a Low Cost. Roberto Osuna is better than both of them at a younger age and career saves. Astros were losing many games in the 9th, while Edwin Diaz, Blake Treinan are locking down Saves. Roberto Osuna is a part of a Young Core of the Team. Alex Bregman, Carlos Correa, Roberto Osuna, Lance McCullers Jr., Forest Whitley, Yordan Alvarez, Seth Beer, Kyle Tucker. Prime Jose Altuve

    The Batting Eye Background Color Should be Black instead of Small Green Background with a Logo. A plain larger background is better than fans staring with beers and eating at that restaurant, it could be distracting making the players hungry or thirsty. It can be psychological during game play.
