    Chef’s kiss. Very impressive sweep the Braves and 2/3 from the Rays both shutouts with all of the injuries and on the road to boot.

    Our 4th and 5th starters just shut out the best offense in baseball in back to back games. Took the series in Tampa. No Yordan either. Statement.

    This pitching staff seems to be better than last year's. The maturity and confidence is pretty impressive. Only Seth and Stanek aren't getting as lucky this year.

    The Rays averaging over 7 runs a game at home did not score a single time over the last 18 innings.

    Astros are 11 - 7 playing teams > .500. Tops in the league.

    Three straight series wins against 3 of the better teams in the MLB and not only that, coming close to taking back the top spot in the AL West. As long as they keep winning series, should climb back near the top in the power rankings.

    14-11

    4 losses by the bullpen.

    Last year, we win 3 of those 4 games on average.

    So that's 17-8.

    Just a perspective.

    From a bullpen that's suddenly looking like last year's post season and have put their problems behind them.

    Still got Altuve and Brantley coming in the next month to give more pop and steadiness to the offense.

    Meanwhile you've got a solid bench developing in the meantime from Meyers, Julks and especially Dubon, and Diaz is getting settled in nicely at backup catcher.
