    Stupid. Maldy has known what is coming more often than not (fastball catching plenty of the plate) this entire season. Hasn’t helped.

    There was one very bad call. Welcome to a normal inning for us.

    Put Bo Porter with this lineup in this series, I'm sure he would be 3-0.

    Since being an Astros fan since HSE days, this series is top 3 for me.

    Haters are missing and the Saint Dusty crowd is making the NOISE.

    There was something "extra" going on

    We got to face your awful pitching staff

    Absolutely stole their souls. This was utter domination and I love every minute of it. Suck it Arlington.

    HAHA that’s like when you’re getting roasted and have no comeback. You just make this face. It’s Basically the equivalent. Oh Astros dominating us? MUST be the cans…

    With the scoring outbreak the last three days, and the up and down nature of our play the last couple of weeks, one thing has gone unnoticed (no, it's not the stupid lineups johnnie runs out there)

    THE PEN IS BACK

    Pressley has 10 scoreless outings in his last 11 appearances. That one outing was bad with 4 earned, but in the other 10 he has allowed 6 hits, 1 bb, 13 K

    Abreu hasn't been scored on since July 15...JULY 15! Covers 18 2/3 innings with 22 K, dominating

    Neris hasn't been scored on in his last 7 1/3 innings, 0 hits, 1 BB, 8 K

    Montero...yes, the player everyone loves to hate on Montero...Has been scored on once in his last 14 outings...11 2/3 innings, 2 earned in one of those games the rest scoreless, 18Ks

    That's the back end that did as much as any unit on the team to win us our second ring last year! This is a pretty extended period of domination by them which more than anything can help overcome dusty's ignorant and biased lineup decisions

    If those guys keep it up, we can indeed overcome and win it all again. I want back to back titles badly
