    He was actually fantasy-relevant at the catcher position for a while earlier this season, but as is common at that position it was only temporary

    Offense woke up to carry the night, one game closer.

    I will forever like and respect Verlander for all he's done here. No way in hell you can trust him to start a playoff game this season

    Hopefully this is a turning point for Pressly. We are going to be a tough team with Framber/Brown/Kikuchi and Pressly/Abreu/Hader

    Also Tucker looks really F*cking good.

    Agreed, but you know they’re going to right? And that’s the problem….

    If they do, they have got to have a short leash on him. Only 1st through the order or twice at most.

    In the postseason, we will need our starters to go 6-7 innings. We have 3 reliable arms out of the pen, 4 if Neris is doing well.

    Verlander gave up 6 runs in 4.2 innings. Yeah, not Postseason starter no more.

    An indecent proposal,
    If Verlander comes to you asking for a Start in exchange to entering the HOF as an Astro would you give him that start?

    Interesting the official scorer decided to give the win to Neris.

    He needs to keep the water jug full and sweep up the sunflower seeds.

    At least the Astros won the game with our worst SP. Let's not lose again.
