Wow! Stros have a complete 6-man SP B-team rotation on IL. Eovaldi pitched a good game… LMJ is getting warmed back up (good outing even if pitch count elevated). Took advantage of opposing BP (as strategically can). Our boys in the pen are amongst best in the league who are gatekeepers of the mountain’s peak. Statement W… miss the SCN crew & production, but this is refreshing to hear & watch— in a prime time, national viewing/consuming, produ t of a game. Hell yeah for showing up and keeping that “from-behind & find the win” attitude. Once this team is firing consistently on the same wavelength, vision, cohesion & health… this team can becomes a formidable dominating force of THE team to beat. Have more positive feelings about this team going forward about this season than I have as of recent (< 5yrs) teams— (save the WS ‘22).
Difference between a .500 ball club and a team only 6 games in the loss column behind the best record in baseball.
- 1-1 vs DeGrom/Eovaldi isn't shabby... especially without YorGod - Walker, huge game after an 0-16 hitting performance - bullpen continues to suffocate opponents - 5 IP / 1 Run - McCullers pitched well enough to avoid death threats - Aircraft Carrier launched multi-hit with an XBH and RBI - Paredes is Bregman with fluent Spanish .
Before 7th inning….sure do miss Bregs and Tuck! After 7th inning….don’t miss Bregs and Tuck at all. In fact, we would probably have the same or a worse record.
I know this A-hole Rangers fan he's either "cheating again" or "Astros can't hit because they can't cheat." Dude is like that about all his teams, his life literally hangs in the balance when his teams play. I love it when the Rangers lose.
