    The idea was to able to eat innings save the bullpen. He did. That move was great. To bad our pen just collapsed.

    Astros are the biggest chokers in this city’s history. Yes, bigger than the Oilers (More chances).

    Astros players to undergo "Carousel" counseling if they lose this series:

    "Last day: Astro 17s. Year of the city 2017. Carousel begins."

    especially after the funk Devo has been in. We don't have the luxury of throwing all these beasts of relievers like new york. You let lance continue to pitch with the bases empty. let him carry you to the 8th. If they still come back, you bend the knee and call them daddy.(pedro reference)
    It's still 2-2 and it's baseball. Astros can still win it. I never liked the 2-3-2 format.

    Yes we need a killer star it won’t happen but I could dream that we get a player like that

    Im not stressing about 2-3-2

    Dallas likes bronxville

    Do or die fellas. Tuve and correa need to be the dudes offensively. We need our stars and at least 1 unlikely hero to show up for us offensively

    A player like Carlos Staton?

    That's a great plan, Johnson. That's f***in' ingenious, if I understand it correctly. It's a Swiss f***in' watch.

    I can't even watch anything sports news related. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to even hear a word out of Hinch or any of them at this time. ZIP IT!

    Everyone needs to relax...before the series shifted to Yankee stadium...The Astros just need 1 game from the Bronx...And even if they didnt, they still are coming home. Yankee's made it a series by roaring back...The biggest thing the Astros did was protect home field advantage by winning game 1 and 2. The Astros will win tomorrow, and closes it out game 6. Have faith and watch these kids #earnit!!!
    Go Astros...

    You are a pleasant person and a joy to read. I really hope for more of this fantastic insight as the Astros go on.

    I’d take Altuve or Correa over Stanton. But of course this is knee jerk reaction post time.

    So now that I'be chilled out from being a mean and sarcastic SOB tonight...

    At least DK is going tomorrow. It's 2-2. Yes the Astros let one get away. Yes the bullpen and the hitting are both struggling. We still win this series and all will be right in a few days.

    Yup, literally every single person not named Altuve, Correa, or Gurriel have been absolutely pathetic this series.

    I mean, you want to think they would turn it around at some point, but it's tough right now.
