    The Hunter Brown show.

    He's easily been the most important player since the turnaround, may even say he's the cause of said turnaround.

    I would argue the most important piece to the turnaround. Especially with the news of Javier needing TJ.

    Really gotta put some space between us and both sea and Tex. Rangers are getting healthy and lighter schedule doesn’t help

    I admit, after the white Sox loss, I thought that was it and ready to sell at the deadline. Amazing turnaround, but as Kobe once said. Jobs not finished. Hopefully the arms and tucker come back soon and they step on the divisions throat.

    Possibly... the situation is crazy.

    I think he'll be back this season, maybe 30 more days. He's not having TJS.

    But again, no surprise if he doesn't return. The fact a 15-day was first announced just reinforces the manipulation the front office uses to soften the impact of fans' hope when the bomb really drops (see Javier, and maybe JV).

    But what would be the point of that?
    If the bomb is going to drop why frustrate fans even further?

    History lesson - 1914

    - beginning of World War I
    - Babe Ruth MLB debut

    False hope -- then when the bombs drops, it's "oh well, he hasn't been playing anyway".

    I'm not cosigning the strategy, just saying what it is.

    I’ve seen that foul off the shin so many times. Never seen a player out this long. Are we not being told the whole truth?

    the Astros Legend of this Golden Era continues to grow and break records … to the ire of every non-Astros fan.

    Pressly has been on fire over his last 13 outings. Hasn't given up a run!!

    Hopefully down the stretch we get a dominant backend from the pen because it certainly makes it tough on teams shortening the game to six innings.
