    Throughout sports history, injuries/age are the only things that have stopped dynasties, in-season. Astros are not old, or "getting older".

    The 90's Bulls don't count because their mess happened offseason.

    The amazing:
    • First base defense and offense is now 5x better than it was on opening day.
    • Pressly may be back.
    • Chas may be back.
    • Situational hitting has improved a lot.
    • Catcher depth exists.
    The downside:
    • We gave up 8 runs of a 11 run lead on Friday.
    • Injuries still hurting with Bloss out. Still no real target date for return of Tucker and France.

    Don’t sweat the 8 runs. We will never see those clowns again.

    This has been so fun to watch come together. Thought this team was done a few weeks ago but seems they've rallied behind injuries and are feeling themselves again. Not to mention the addition by subtraction of Abreu. You love to see it

    That's the thing, got the talent to sweep Balmer, and could also get swept by Colorado

    The Rangers are getting their pitchers healthy. Scherzer returned today and looked good.

    Depends on Robert’s health and focus. If he is healthy and focused he is an absolute monster.

    Does he hate playing baseball in general- or does he merely hate playing baseball for the white Sox?

    I didn't expect a sweep but I acknowledged it could happen.

    Luis Robert had a career year just last year and has fallen off the face of the Earth as the White Sox cratered.
    The gamble is that the Astros can get such a talent who has a reasonable contract at a relative discount. It was be crazy for the Astros *not* to have interest considering Tucker is probably walking.

    Robert is a K machine and I think his attitude is questionable.
