Even though I'm bullish on us never losing another game this year, I seriously doubt we sweep back to back to back teams. That being said, W W and W baby. @J.R. @The Drake
The Astros are proving they have an all-time great lineup, with or without sign stealing https://au.sports.yahoo.com/the-ast...-with-or-without-sign-stealing-163355920.html
Looking back at the Two most people consider the Best, 27 Yankees and 98 Yankees, we compare favorably with the top 6 hitters and pitchers. But top 3 leans to 27 Yankees with Gherig and Ruth both having monster years. The 98 Yahkees had better top 3 pitching and Rivera, but we go deeper.

Give Zack Crizer credit, this is probably one of the best informed, objective and well-written articles I've read regarding our team in a very long time, thanks for posting.
Get a big lead, get through 6 innings, and call it a night. Lots of rain in the forecast the rest of the weekend. Mother Nature is the only thing that can slow down the Astros.
welp winning streak over as those double header games are brutal. Install the " Roof forfeit" rule. If your stadium can't afford a roof and the game is suspended you get an automatic L.
