    This week the Astros played six games against the NL East and NL Central leaders. Astros won five out of six. They got three shutouts.

    Hopefully they keep their focus up and don’t **** around with the Rockies. Need to sweep them before a tough series in LA where one of the games LMJ is starting…

    Astros 32-16 in their last 48.

    That is top tier baseball.

    There is no better setup/closer combo. Not sure if there is a close 2nd.

    Come on Rangers.

    We might be on the verge of a 7.5 game lead.

    A week ago the Astros had the easiest schedule remaining. Cubs and Phillies were supposed to be 2 of the toughest opponents and went 5 out of 6 against them. It's only going to get easier from here on out. Up next the Rockies.

    We are just waiting on a walk off by the Rangers to go 7 1/2 on Seattle.

    Mariners and the Rangers going 3 straight extra inning games to completely tax their bullpens. Couldn't draw it much better.

    He has had some bad injuries. I remember an interview from him saying he cannot extend his arm like when he was drafted - also has pain and lack of flexibility in hips. Without injuries he probably would be similar to Cole.

    This board is so fun. Our vacillation is amazing. "He is washed!" "Horrible!" "Can't hit the side of a barn." "Great play." "What a hit." "Amazing." "Can't drive in runs to save their lives." "Team is going nowhere." "They will win it all."

    That HAS to be a sweep.

    6.06 Dollander (2-8) vs Gordon
    6.14 Gomber (0-1) vs Brown
    5.56 Freeland (1-9) vs Walter

    Well there isn’t.

    Abreu when he is locating his fastball is borderline the best reliever in baseball.

    This. Yordan is a very low maintenance player for the Astros. He really asks for very little - only thing I know he asked was to not play first base again, he said it impacted his bat and ability to run. He was a first baseman in Cuba.
