    Stros basically set up the batting practice pitch machine for them,

    Awesome win for everyone not named Hernandez and Montero.

    I never thought a manager could be more incompetent than Phil Nevin

    Huge win, however ugly the conclusion.

    It was only a matter of time until Montero BABIP luck ran out. Hopefully it transfers over to Pressly.

    5 ER in his last 32.2 IP. Sub 1.40 ERA. That's exceptional.

    On Jose Abreu? Essentially.

    "I went down there to see him. I was happy with what I saw. When he came back, it didn’t pan out enough for the organization to see that we could keep trying to see if he could get better, because of the dire need for us to win now.”

    Too bad we can't DFA Montero also like we did with Abreu. Those two signings continue to sting.

    Expected W-L

    39-37 Astros
    40-38 Seattle

    We should be in 1st place by pct points.

    Sigh.

    Why keep rolling Montero out there.? He is consistently horrible.

    Too close a game considering the big lead, but great game overall.

    Astros (36-40) closest to 500 since April 8th (4-7).

    Turning the corner?

    Time will tell.... the '24 Astros are down but definitely not out.

    SWEEP AVOIDED !!!!
