    On Pressly, he didn't look like Pressly for most of the season up to the Bronx game. Holy crap has he been great after that game.

    This team looks like it is about to curb stump some mofos even more than they have been. Astros trying to work Meyers back in when he's not 100% is the only weak spot right now.

    This.

    I understand fans being critical, but if any team has deserved the benefit of the doubt it's the Astros and especially since it's being done under 2 different front offices and another manager.

    What I really don't understand, how much vitriol it is after random losses.

    It gets bad here sometimes ... but ... never as bad as the GARM.

    There is that at least.

    I think this is the deepest bullpen Houston has ever had.

    Easily the pen that I feel the safest with. The 2018 pen was weirdly great. Guys like McHugh and Peacock chewed up low leverage innings and never seemed to give up a lead. Sipp, Smith, and Rondon had good years for them.

    That's what got Watson in trouble.
