    Did they change any of the rookie status eligibility rules for the shortened season?

    He already reached 50 IP. Doubt they change anything.

    Right, I was thinking of other guys and just wondering if MLB, in their infinite wisdom and desire to "try new things" this year, monkeyed around with the regs.

    Would be funny if they did and the losing streak continued into the 1st round and they get eliminated.

    Hoping they have to face the Reds with Bauer and Castillo in a 3 game series.

    Big win to keep that Post Season hope alive. Bats looked great tonight.....First home runs for Altuve and Bregman since Early in August. Hopefully this was a sign to come.....lots of smiles in that dugout, looked like they were having their swagger again.....

    The way I see it, we've been here supporting this team when they were winning 5 games all year at the start of the 2010s decade. Why wish them to not make the playoffs or feel bad about not deserving it. They're 20-8 at home which stacks up with the best. Quite frankly, they gave away at least 10 games on the road with just atrocious bullpen performances, just an average closer would have sealed wins. I welcome more baseball. Minnesota, takes us to your leader.

    Astros seem to like hitting in this stadium. Bodes well for when the Astros are playing in World Series games later in October.

    Punch them in the dick again tomorrow. Then take the weekend off and get ready for Tuesday.

    The Good:
    Altuve's best game in forever
    Bregman with the extra base cycle (2B, 3B, HR)
    Offense was firing on all cylinders
    Magic number down to 1

    The Bad:
    Giving up 4 runs to the Rangers is not ideal, but thankfully our bats came to PLAY!
    Javier could do better on first pitch strikes, and strike % overall. I think he's destined for the pen
    No Angels game today, so we have to wait until at least tomorrow to officially clinch

    The Ugly:

    Nothing ugly about this!

    4 players with 3 hits. FOUR!

    I do miss the days when 2 guys would do this almost every night.

    Poor Yuli.

    It'll never get old lighting up Lynn and the Rangers.
