    Hope he retires an Astro. Stepped up in a dark time to defend his team this last year. Much respect.

    Good point ... think that hurts a team like the Yankees most where they get to use Cole on full rest only once in a 5 game series ... I feel pretty good about our starting pitching depth but it def hurts us by cutting into our starters that would have been used in the pen

    A 18 game playoff losing streak has got to be pretty demoralizing.

    F-ing A.... started playing woody puzzle again during the 4th inning today again. Played till the end of the game.

    This is definitely the reason we won again.

    I guess I'm am going to get really, really good at this game.

    Was on ESPN just now (along with Tucker) saying the same thing. Announcer came back with, "some rabbit ears there from Carlos Correa."

    Tucker with the "prove everyone wrong. No one wants to see us move on" follow-up too.

    The thing is, people will take that as us saying "We don't care that we cheated, it's fine." No...we know other teams cheated, we know the commissioner as made us the fall out to end all fall outs, and also this idiotic idea that we some how knew every single solitary pitch that was coming in '17 even though it was proven it often more wrong than correct.

    So no, we don't think cheating is OK...but we don't think being the sole fall out of it all is fair either.

    After so many years of playoff struggles, I hope people appreciate how many playoff games this group has won.

    We won't be able to hide the bullpen in the next round. The offense is gonna have to start making things happen if were gonna keep moving.

    I was looking through team statistics for the As during the regular season. For so much talk about we sucked at hitting, I made a huge discovery. So have the As. In my mind for some reason, western media probably, I made them out to have at least 4 players with an .800 ops. They only had 2 and one of them is out for the year. What's that saying. . careful what you wish for? I'm okay with getting the As.

    Dusty Baker handled the pitching situation masterfully. That’s a sentence that may not have ever been said before, but it’s true!

    Did they though? Gave away a couple of games with the 'bullpen' Astros were throwing out there.

    Nah... the Astros don’t give a **** that they cheated, they don’t think the punishment is proper... but don’t think a majority of those guys feel bad for the actual cheating.
