    Correct we are 1 1/2 games up for the 3rd wildcard spot. I think the Mariners win the division and we will be a wildcard.

    Fun fact

    Going back to June 10th, in games after scoring 9 or more runs, the Astros are 9-5, averaging 5.4 runs per game

    When we play that lineup, we are easily the best offensive team in baseball. Not Tampa, Not Arlington, Not Baltimore..the Houston Astros are the best offensive team in MLB when we our manager decides he wants us to be, which isn't often

    Tucker wanted to play but Dusty is a doctor and knows more about how Tucker feels than Tucker himself

    I believe if the season ended today, we would be the 3rd team in. The Astros Division winner likely will get a bye because of being the top 2 teams in the American League, we would be playing the non-division winner likely Texas, but they have home field. In a 2 out of 3 against Texas, I like our chances with JV and Framber. I'm getting ahead of myself, but we have a 2.5 game lead on the last spot.

    1 1/2 lead on last spot, but who’s counting? No disrespect intended.

    My prediction for today

    Altuve 2B
    Bregman 3B *** if something happened to Alex, who is our 3B? Do we have another player on the roster who has ever played an inning at 3B?
    Yordan DH
    Tucker RF
    Abreu 1B
    Dubon CF
    Julks LF
    Pena SS
    Moldy C

    If Julks starts, I think I will lose my mind, but the rest is spot on unless Brown is willing to piss both Dusty and JV off. The whole Dubon in CF is crazy and JV should be ashamed if he is really insisting on it. Does he hate McCormick too?

    Toothpick and Shades playing Julks is like Rockets telling Ryan Anderson to keep shooting 3s at Toyota Center. They city will thank Dusty, I believe he thinks he is getting a monument at City Hall.

    Yea who knows what to believe and not believe, but if JV is really insisting on Dubon as his personal CF then he has some mental issues

    One game behind Seattle and Texas

    But 1 of Seattle or Texas is currently in division spot, so Astros are 3rd WC which is actually better than 2nd.

    Play 3 vs Twins in Min.

    As do all teams

    If they didn't, i'd get rich gambling

    This theory that some on here have that we are awful in games after our offense goes off simply isn't true, that was my point

    Now, our offense in games that johnnie doesn't feel like playing our best lineup, yea, we ain't too good in those
