    Jake Meyers has been the best non-Yordan offensive player on the team this month.

    Montero still flirting with danger with the ungodly WHIP (1.72).

    Things are not any better.

    Just think of the $34.5 million spent on a starting pitcher instead.

    What could have been.

    At some point Maton needs to pitch the 7th and Montero relegated to the 6th and mopup duty. Sad.

    Seen a few fly outs that Meyers has gotten really good jumps on with great angles. He’s improved

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but of the A's 7 hits the only 2 that have reached the OF were the grounder up the middle that Pena and Altuve watched and the Langeliers 2B.

    No jinx.

    I have thoughts about this, and we need an "Astros Stats" thread. I nominate you to start it.

    17-9 over the last 26

    20-6 if Montero was allowed to sign with another team in the off season.

    Has any player taken more s**t despite solid results than Bielak has.

    Train wreck, trash, awful, worst starter ever, always getting shelled.

    A lot of Astros fans here are incredibly pessimistic. I just read the last few pages and you’d think the Astros were 1-8 over that last nine instead of the other way around. I’m not sure how some of them survived Verlander’s starts last postseason! Haha
