    Didn't feel comfortable with Harris at the end but was put at ease when Gomez stepped up representing the last out.

    Rangers lose a 1 run ball game with Gomez striking out for the final out. Love it

    Interesting what Brownie just said about the tag at home being the 3rd out bc the ball was in the dirt. Nice heads up play by Gattis.

    Houston just absolutely owning every other city in Texas right now. The Cowboys are lucky they don't see us this year.

    Agree with former, but I think we should be more patient with Gregerson. Career sub 3 ERA. He should bounce back.

    Agreed. But we can probably say the hype was ridiculously unfair. People expected him to be MVP before he turned 21. After it didn't happen last year, well of course he has to do it this year. If he doesn't it's unacceptable.

    His first 2 seasons are about as good as we've seen from the first 2 seasons of any Astro player ever. He's not an MVP yet but he's so freaking young. This season has started out slow but we're a month in.

    Harper is a fair comparison, their first 2 years are similar and Harper's true break out season was in year 4 and then he slumped off last season. Off to a monster start now. He's also a really young player himself.

    Correa is nowhere close to a finished product. His hot start and glimpses of greatness lead to immediate expectations but give him time and he will reward you.

    Doesn't matter. That bum swing at it the 3rd strike, so even if he touched home base without a tag, gattis could've tagged Gomez for the final out or thrown to first for the final out. Doesn't matter if he touched home first.

    I'm no gogo fan, but some of y'all already forgot about his big WC HR in NYC? Cmon. Dude hurt us his second year but he was a big reason for our only playoff appearance since '05.

    Every time Gregerson comes in, I know it is not going to be an easy inning.
