    Stros went 13-13 against Dallas and Seattle.

    Rangers went 8-4 down the stretch, Seattle swept Oakand and then got punched in the gut by both Us and the Rangers, while the Stros went 5-1 on the road against Seattle and Arizona to close out the regular season

    So I’m not wrong. I’m talking more than the last 12 games but yea 13-13 is not great which again the door was left open for us. Having said that it’s Arlington not Dallas!

    BTW, I’ll probably be a few drinks in or passed out by the time it gets here so salute and a big thank you to all of our service men and woman and those who have gave all and their families. First responders included.

    It's all Dallas up there.

    Unless it's Fort Worth.

    I spent a week+ at a training thing in Addison 20 years ago or so...I have no recollections other than the Hotel, Fuddrucker's, and bar down the street.

    I didn’t think Jake had it in him. Hope it continues.

    Good luck Astros!

    Sears got 2 shots to hit him. 2nd one worked.

    Arrighetti with zero control early.

    Settle down and win.

    There's exactly 3 batters in their lineup who can hurt you, and he put the first 2 on and let the 3rd drive them in.

    Sears threw fewer pitches in 2 innings than Spence threw in one.

    Tough start for the Stros

    They’ve had stretches like what has transpired the last 2 months. It’s just not as obvious because it wasn’t smack-dab at the start of the season, with a rookie manager, and with a team be-set by injuries all at once.

    Mid 2017, pre JV, Mike Fiers was the ace of this staff… and they still survived.
