    Give me Chas over Meyers

    Maybe this is because as a bad OF with a weak arm Chas made a catch I seriously doubt Meyers could've made to help win a WS. Meyers isn't the same around the fence since hurting his shoulder. Rightfully so.

    I seem to remember a few instances recentely where Jake went into the wall or the fence. I don't see any hesitation. Honestly, I don't think we can go wrong between the 2. They bring similar yet different skillsets and if one or the other had to be traded to improve the team, I wouldn't really care which one stayed.

    5.5 out of the division and 4.5 out of the wild card, going into a series with the Rockies. After the start Houston had, that’s a good spot to be in. They’re 13-7 in June. Since May 1, they’ve played at a 93 win pace.

    Episode 67 of breathing orange fire podcast is up. I make a very long, detailed, numbers based case for why this Astros team is actually a good team disguised as a mediocre one. Check it out. Like, listen, subscribe etc.

    Our Lord and Savior clearly favors the Astros these days over the Mariners and Rangers. Those two teams and their fan bases have simply not been praying hard enough lately. And it shows!

    They can pray all they want. It’s useless if they don’t believe. Astro footsteps getting louder behind them. All they are certain of now is that fear has a taste.

    This may be captain Obvious stuff but still worth mentioning:



    With 84 games left, if we keep up this pace, we’re on track to win 92 games.

    84 games left x .647 = 54 more wins (and some change)

    54 + 38 current wins = 92 wins

    If Seattle keeps its current pace of .556 winning percentage over its remaining 81 games, they will win 45 more games.

    45 + 45 current wins = 90 wins for Seattle

    Non-jinx disclaimer: The baseball gods are cruel, and this is simple math that doesn’t take into account all sorts of advanced stats and predictions.
