    I just can't imagine a team that wins so many games to not get even one dub.

    Did their division inflated their numbers or just post season jitters?

    They were only +129 runs on the season identical to the astros. They’re not a real 100 win team, just good rng

    October Postseason experience goes a long way. And is definitely a huge factor. That have 0, including their pitchers who were all overwhelmed

    great regular season but come October it’s just a different animal where everything is magnified and pressure pushes the limits

    You might want to step away from the keyboard, get off social media, and go touch some grass dude. Overt threats of rape and violence, along with homophobic slurs don't make you a good fan.

    Imagine wearing this and thinking you look cool.

    My only problem with this post is the use of phobic which generally doesn't apply. There is very little paralyzing fear as much as total disgust. That's not phobic. I just like the words to actually mean what is intended. I hate deception.

    Will he be rusty? How many innings can he pitch? Is he risking further injury?

    Last time the Astros faced a Ranger coming cold off the IL (Eovaldi) it didn't go so well for the Rangers.

    I work with a guy from Dallas. He’s really cool and super quiet, and yet he came in talking ish this morning. He said. “You ready”.

    I said we still have work to do but you guys should quiet down a little bit. He wasn’t familiar with the chants from other fan bases.l but thinks it has no effect on the Astros. I think otherwise.

    Astros move on and I’m not saying anything. If the Astros play the Rangers and lose we as fans will take a beating. Better not happen. I cannot stand Houston ever losing to anything Dallas.

    We watched the Rockets losing to the Mavs in the 2000's. The 2005 playoff series still makes me upset thinking about it after going 2-0. Astros will make up for this.

    You can tell Hedges doesn't get much playing time by the downpour of alcohol flushed on his eyes without goggles

    I was watching the Fox pre-game show for the Orioles and Power Rangers. All of them (ARod, Jeter, Papi) correctly picked #StraightUpPoo beating the O's for game 3. O's manager think they are to be reckon with in a division with money teams in Spankees, Blood Sox and Blue Jays. Not to mention, the Rays, good @#$@# luck.

    The O's absolutely have a good future ahead of them. The Yankees suck and so does Boston. Neither will be ws contenders any time soon.Toronto is a paper team year after year. The rays have there own issues.

    The O's main issue is youth and inexperience. They just got a taste of some it. They're not going anywhere and will be back in the mix next year.

    Due to money and notoriety the Yankees and Red Sox will never lack for talent and ability to reload quickly.

    I can not see either of those teams out of the playoff picture into September more than 2-3 times in any 10 year period.

    Simply too many resources
